Tick Boot Camp

Episode 230: Foundation for Healing - an interview with Lauren Less

Ms. Less is using technology to rediscover her body signals

3 years ago

Lauren Less is a 29-year-old Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), real estate broker and nutrition enthusiast.

While attending summer camp at the age of 13, she was bitten by a tick that she removed without adult assistance. After returning home from camp, she began to suffer classic acute Lyme disease symptoms including fatigue, joint pain and brain fog.

For the next 15 years, Ms. Less’ symptoms progressed and became chronic. She sought answers for the cause of her illness from “many doctors,” all of whom told her she was “fine” and not in fact ill.

Unfortunately, these 15 years caused her to suppress and lose touch with her body signals. Fortunately, she located an Integrative Medical Doctor that utilized blood testing to diagnose her with Lyme disease.

Through her research Ms. Less determined that she would need to prepare herself physically, emotionally, and socially to battle Lyme. Additionally, she recognized that becoming reacquainted with her body signals was vital to successful healing.
