3 Things that changed the course of my life…



Hi Reader,

Want to know the three things that changed the course of my life?

Number one (without a doubt)

LYME DISEASE! We received the diagnosis for my kids in February 2020, right before the world shut down. Like most families, my kids were struggling long before the diagnosis, which was just the tip of the iceberg. Awareness is crucial and no better time than right now! Be tick aware my friend. May is Lyme Awareness Month. If you do find a tick, here is a resource you need to save.

Second game changer for me?

The most informative book I have ever read, “Unlocking Lyme,” by Dr. Bill Rawls. I found this book through a google search at 2 am. What a saving grace to have this resource at the very beginning of our journey. I didn’t know at the time, but Dr. Rawls would have an immense impact on my life and the healing of my kids. And guess what? Today, he’s back on the podcast!

The healing mindset and medical perspective of Dr. Rawls are priceless. I am so grateful to have him on the Very Happy Stories podcast. His book spoke to me so early in our journey, as he planted so many “healing seeds” in the back of my mind.

Today, Dr. Rawls is breaking down the SCIENCE behind herbs, and more than that, the science behind investing in our Cellular Wellness to fight this disease and all diseases. This is one of the most informational episodes I can offer and it’s not just a Lyme conversation. It’s a conversation that can help anyone out there who is struggling with chronic illness, inflammation, autoimmune illness and long-haul issues. From a practical perspective, if you are also interested in transitioning your children off antibiotics, tune in! Dr. Rawls drops the knowledge on long term use and tips for using herbs. You can also watch this episode on YouTube.

Last, but not least?

SOCIAL MEDIA! This is laughable, but I was not an Instagram user before my children were diagnosed with Lyme. I needed to find community through Facebook and Instagram and quickly. I still have a love / hate relationship with social media, but I am grateful for the CONNECTIONS with you and so many others in this space. With that, I am hosting an Instagram LIVE with Dr. Bill Rawls TOMORROW. That is Wednesday at 12 noon ET.

You can set a reminder on IG here and you can also watch it on demand. If you have questions for Dr. Rawls email back here. Can’t wait.

Until next time, Happy Day!

Liza
