What happens when two misunderstood chronic illnesses collide? Today, Summer sits down with Lyme expert and nurse practitioner Carrye Hodges, who shares her powerful story of being dismissed by doctors for years before finally receiving a Lyme diagnosis. Together, they break down the striking similarities between Lyme disease and Long COVID, why standard testing so often fails patients, and how true healing requires listening, deep investigation, and collaboration.This episode also introduces a brand-new integrative program designed for patients who have both Lyme and Long COVID — an emerging group that desperately needs answers. If you’ve been gaslit, overlooked, or told “your labs are normal,” this conversation is for you.Learn more about the Microvascular Research Foundation and how you can help at https://mvresearch.org/
