Integrative Lyme Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt – Details, episodes & analysis

Can Lyme disease begin before birth — and could it be driving neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and anxiety?

In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K is joined by Dr. Somer DelSignore, a leading pediatric integrative clinician, to explore the overlooked science of congenital Lyme and in utero transmission of vector-borne infections. Dr. DelSignore explains how infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can cross the placenta, disrupt fetal brain development, and silently fuel inflammation that shows up later as behavioral, cognitive, and immune dysfunction.

You’ll learn why standard TORCH testing fails to catch these infections, what symptoms parents should watch for in infants and children, and how addressing inflammation, infections, and immune imbalance can dramatically improve outcomes. This episode offers critical insight for parents, practitioners, and anyone focused on true prevention and root-cause healing in pediatric Lyme disease.

Why do so many Lyme patients stay sick — even after treating infections, detoxing, and “doing everything right”?

In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with functional and environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Kelly McCann to explore why Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) are rarely just infections — and why true healing requires addressing the terrain of the body, nervous system, emotions, and spirit. Drawing from her own journey through mold illness and Lyme disease, Dr. McCann explains how immune dysregulation, trauma, limbic system activation, and cell membrane damage keep patients stuck in chronic illness.

This conversation dives deep into mast cell activation, mold exposure, Bartonella, phosphatidylcholine therapy, biofilms, nervous system regulation, emotional trauma, spirituality, and why symptoms are not betrayals — but messages. If you’ve been gaslit, dismissed, or feel like your body is working against you, this episode offers validation, insight, and a radically different way to understand Lyme healing.

Key Takeaways:

0:00 Introduction and Dr. Kelly McCann’s personal healing journey
3:00 Mold exposure as a hidden driver of chronic illness
6:20 Lyme, Bartonella, and the overlap with mast cell activation
9:30 Why siloed medicine fails complex chronic disease patients
11:40 Phosphatidylcholine and cell membrane repair explained
13:50 When antimicrobial treatment stalls, look beyond infections
16:50 Mast cell activation, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation
18:40 The limbic system’s role in chronic illness
21:10 Emotional trauma, immune boundaries, and people-pleasing
24:00 Language, identity, and separating yourself from disease
26:10 Terrain theory and why healing requires self-honoring choices
29:00 Illness as an invitation, not a punishment

Today our guests are an incredibly resilient mother-daughter duo, Dorothy and Rachel, who courageously battled Lyme disease. Unfolding the harrowing and inspiring journey this pair undertook, we delve into Rachel’s symptoms, that shockingly began after a minor accident, the daunting process of diagnosis, their struggle with the perception and misunderstanding of Lyme disease by the medical community, and Dorothy's experience during her daughter's illness.
 
The book Finding Resilience: A Teen's Journey Through Lyme Disease is based on the journal Rachel kept during the worst of her illness, along with many videos and photos. The book alternates between her voice and Dorothy's, telling the story through two different perspectives.
 
Dorothy is the co-author of When Your Child Has Lyme Disease: A Parent's Survival Guide, President of LymeDisease.org, a national research and advocacy organization, and she also writes the blog Touched by Lyme.

Join us in another episode of Interative Lyme Solutions. Today we talk again with The Lyme Boss herself, Heather Gray, not to share her story, but to talk about mindset. One of the things we discuss is the difficulty of trying to push someone that doesn't believe that they can get better, and how that can affect a practitioner.
