On this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, we're joined by Tara, who shares her personal experience with Lyme disease. Beginning in 2012 following a mosquito bite, Tara faced a slew of symptoms, including fatigue, pain, tremors, extreme exhaustion, and the inability to walk. Despite a positive Lyme test, doctors in her home state of Illinois refused to acknowledge Lyme as the source of her symptoms, putting her through ten strenuous years of misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. Still dealing with occasional seizures and other symptoms, Tara spent years of her own time researching, finding treatments, and advocating for herself. Her journey inspired her to go back to school for talk therapy with the goal to provide support and understanding for others battling Lyme disease, she even wrote a book about her experience.
You can find her book From a Wheelchair to Walking One Person's Lyme Story in Illinois on Amazon.

Struggling with chronic Lyme disease and not getting answers from conventional medicine?
Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt explores evidence-based, integrative approaches to chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, and co-infections — including Bartonella, Babesia, and Ehrlichia — through expert interviews and real patient recovery stories.
Lyme disease is known as the "great imitator" because its symptoms overlap with dozens of complex conditions, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Many patients spend years misdiagnosed or dismissed after false-negative Western blot results. This podcast cuts through the confusion with practical insights on functional medicine, herbal antimicrobials, detoxification, immune support, nervous system healing, and other integrative therapies that support long-term recovery.
With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Karlfeldt brings the knowledge of a Lyme literate naturopathic doctor to every episode — helping patients and caregivers reduce their research time, ask better questions, and find a path forward.
