The role of immune dysregulation in chronic Lyme disease
How parasites and mitochondrial health contribute to Lyme disease
Detoxifying the body and managing die-off symptoms
Protocols designed to target Lyme and co-infections
What to do immediately after a tick bite
Common symptoms associated with Lyme disease
How I personally overcame chronic Lyme disease

About the Instructor:
Tracy Manno is a certified Integrative Health Coach and Functional Nutritionist. He specializes in helping people overcome chronic health issues by identifying the root cause and supporting the body’s natural function by restoring gut integrity, rebuilding the microbiome, eliminating toxins and pathogens, and reversing nutritional deficiencies.
