Show Notes

In this brand new episode of Lyme and Beyond with Tanya, we welcome Heather Hale, who shares her profound journey battling Lyme disease. Heather, a former bodybuilder, tells us how her life was dramatically altered by the disease, which she suspects began in her teenage years. After ineffective traditional treatments and severe allergic reactions to medications, Heather embraced alternative therapies, including the Gerson Therapy and intermittent hypoxia therapy (IHT), which she credits for her remission. She also highlights the importance of addressing trauma and creating a toxin-free environment. This inspiring story showcases resilience, self-advocacy, and the power of alternative healing methods.

Check out the book that led Heather to IHT!
