Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. KarlfeldtStruggling with chronic Lyme disease and not getting answers from conventional medicine. Author: Dr. Michael Karlfeldt
Struggling with chronic Lyme disease and not getting answers from conventional medicine? Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt explores evidence-based, integrative approaches to chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, and co-infections including Bartonella, Babesia, and Ehrlichia through expert interviews and real patient recovery stories. Lyme disease is known as the "great imitator" because its symptoms overlap with dozens of complex conditions, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Many patients spend years misdiagnosed or dismissed after false-negative Western blot results. This podcast cuts through the confusion with practical insights on functional medicine, herbal antimicrobials, detoxification, immune support, nervous system healing, and other integrative therapies that support long-term recovery. With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Karlfeldt brings the knowledge of a Lyme literate naturopathic doctor to every episode helping patients and caregivers reduce their research time, ask better questions, and find a path forward.

Dr. Jonathan Streit | Why Killing Lyme Isn't the Answer: Terrain Theory, Microglial Activation & the BioRestorative Method
Episode 2
Monday, 13 July, 2026
What happens when every antibiotic, every protocol, every specialist leaves your loved one worse, not better? For Dr. Jonathan Streit, that wasn't a hypothetical. It was his wife, wasting away, while he carried her to the bathroom and raised a toddler. That breaking point became the foundation of everything he now does for Lyme patients.In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Jonathan Streit to unpack why killing the infection is only part of the picture, and often the wrong place to start. They dig into his BioRestorative Method, which targets six interconnected systems including the autonomic nervous system, gut microbiome, and neuroplastic retraining. Dr. Streit also introduces a concept most Lyme-literate practitioners aren't talking about: microglial activation, the brain's immune response that can keep you sick long after the infection is gone. If you've done everything right and still don't feel well, this episode may finally explain why.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:36 How Dr. Streit's wife's battle with Lyme changed his entire career path8:07 Why eight rounds of antibiotics made her worse and the moment he said "we're done"10:49 The BioRestorative Method's six-system approach to healing Lyme14:31 Why Dr. Streit doesn't believe in the Herxheimer reaction17:03 Tailored protocols over stock supplements and why cookie-cutter Lyme treatment fails25:00 Silent Spark: how microglial activation keeps you sick after the infection clears29:27 Why limbic retraining programs have limited results without addressing microglial activation Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Silent Spark by Dr. Jonathan Streit - https://a.co/d/00rWB06XAngels and the Assassin by Donna Jackson Nakazawa - https://a.co/d/0hwOML6OIFM (Institute for Functional Medicine) - https://www.ifm.orgDNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System) - https://www.retrainingthebrain.comGupta Program - https://www.guptaprogram.comPrimal Trust - https://www.primaltrust.orgMedical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.
