5 years ago

Jennifer Hoffmann is a 36-year-old multi-talented artist from New Rochelle, New York. She is a touring opera singer, board member of Generation Lyme and a project manager at Project Lyme. Ms. Hoffmann recalls having suffered multiple tick bites during her childhood, and she was recently reinfected after a tick bite in 2020 from visiting New York City’s Central Park. Since the age of 7, she has suffered classic but undiagnosed Lyme disease symptoms that interfered with her artistic, educational, and social activities. Prior to receiving a Lyme diagnosis from an enlightened allergist, she received “double digit” diagnosis and treatments that “never yielded positive results.” Since testing positive for Lyme, she has utilized a diverse set of treatment tools including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, herbs, ozone and IVIG. If you would like to learn more about how an artist is using her creative spirit to heal herself and others from the suffering caused by Lyme disease, the tune in now!
