"Herbs are extremely effective against Lyme disease—you get the clinical benefit without all the negative side effects than can come with antibiotics." -Dr. Darin Ingels
Dr. Darin Ingels is a licensed naturopathic physician, author, international speaker and leading authority on Lyme disease. He is a former Lyme patient who overcame his own 3-year battle with Lyme disease, after having failed conventional treatment and became progressively debilitated. 
Dr. Ingels found that proper diet, lifestyle management and natural therapies worked with his body to heal instead of against it. He then applied what he learned about his own healing journey to his own Lyme patients and found they recovered faster and with less side effects. Dr. Ingels has now treated more than 8000 Lyme patients using his novel approach, many who have gone one to live healthy, symptom-free lives. 
Dr. Ingels has been featured on WebMD, MindBodyGreen, BeWell, ThriveGlobal, Motherly and Dr. Ron Hoffman’s Intelligent Medicine podcast, and is the author of The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease. In this episode, we delve into Lyme Disease and discuss the myths and how it could be the underlying root cause of a chronic condition. Dr. Ingels tells us what we can all do to both prevent and treat Lyme Disease.
