58. Lyme disease Podcast: Gut Health and Laughter with Cindy Kennedy

Cindy Kennedy In this Lyme disease podcast episode, I interview Cindy Kennedy ( ). Cindy is a Nurse Practitioner who worked in women’s health for over 20 years.  She practiced gynecology and has cared for thousands of patients. Unbeknownst to her, she contracted Lyme disease.  She never saw a tick, or a bullseye rash. Her symptoms were subtle at first, and then in 2011 her disease struck with vengeance.  Even as a knowledgeable health care professional, the struggles to find a cause became overwhelming.   In general, she discovered that health care professionals are not adequately trained to recognize and treat Lyme disease and its co-infections.  She came to feel the same sinking feeling that other Lyme sufferers must bear; the endless walk down the frightening path of misdiagnosis, shattered hope, and disappointment. Resources for learning were not very credible. As her health improved she became passionate about providing education and guidance for those seeking information about Lyme disease, health and healing. All this has led to the development of her popular Lyme disease podcast series, Living With Lyme ( ) and her private practice, Pursue Wellness. Discussed in this Episode: Where are ticks?
