Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is nurse practitioner Lindsay Tuttle. For over 2 years, Lindsay Tuttle was chronically ill from Lyme Disease before she was properly tested and self-diagnosed. During her 2 year diagnostic journey, she was treated by medical colleagues in various sub-specialties including neurology, rheumatology, naturopathy and primary care. Her primary care physician dismissed Lyme Disease from consideration because “people do not get Lyme disease in Florida.” If you would like to learn more about how a nurse practitioner overcame the limits of traditional medicine and then turned her Lyme Disease pain into her platform, then tune in now!
