Healing Lyme: The Neuroinflammation-Brain Protection Summit
Discover Clarity, Connection, and Real Answers at the Healing Lyme: The Neuroinflammation–Brain Protection Summit
Brain health, neuroinflammation, and chronic Lyme disease are deeply connected, yet often misunderstood. This summit explores how Lyme disease affects the brain, including brain fog, fatigue, cognitive decline, and autoimmune responses, while highlighting ways to support brain function, protect memory, and understand complex root causes.
What This Summit Covers
Across multiple days, this summit examines how chronic Lyme disease, co-infections, and environmental factors like toxins and mold may influence neuroinflammation and brain health. Topics include the connection between infections and cognitive symptoms, how inflammation affects the brain, and why issues like gut health, immune dysfunction, and vagal nerve imbalance are often part of the bigger picture. You will also hear discussions around testing challenges, overlapping conditions, and how Lyme disease relates to neurological symptoms in both adults and children.
Sessions also explore common concerns people search for, such as managing fatigue, understanding brain fog and memory issues, and how diet, herbal strategies, and functional medicine approaches may support overall brain function. With a focus on education, this summit helps attendees and caregivers better understand how Lyme disease interacts with the brain, metabolism, and immune system, and why a broader, whole-body perspective is often part of the conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Healing Lyme: The Neuroinflammation-Brain Protection Summit
Brain fog and memory challenges are often linked to neuroinflammation, immune system activation, and disruptions in brain signaling. On Day 4, you’ll learn how inflammation in the brain and nervous system may affect focus, mood, and cognition, while Day 2 explores the multiple underlying factors that can contribute to chronic Lyme symptoms. These sessions help you understand why cognitive symptoms can persist even when other symptoms fluctuate.
Related Videos:
Inflammation plays a central role in how the brain functions, influencing memory, clarity, and long-term cognitive resilience. Day 2 covers how precision medicine approaches look at inflammation in conditions like Alzheimer’s, while Day 4 connects neuroinflammation specifically to Lyme-related brain symptoms. You’ll gain insight into how immune responses and brain health are closely linked.
Related Videos:
Persistent fatigue can be influenced by factors beyond infection alone, including immune dysregulation, mitochondrial function, and nervous system imbalance. On Day 1, you’ll explore how peptides may support vitality and energy, while Day 3 introduces a structured approach to restoring energy levels. These sessions explain why fatigue can linger and what systems may be involved.
Related Videos:
The gut and immune system are deeply connected, influencing inflammation levels and overall health. Day 4 explains how the gut-immune axis can affect Lyme-related symptoms and co-infections, helping you understand how digestive health may impact immune responses. This connection is key to understanding whole-body inflammation and its effects on the brain.
Related Videos:
Environmental toxins such as mycotoxins and heavy metals may influence neurological function, energy levels, and immune responses. On Day 3, you’ll learn how mold-related illness compares to vector-borne diseases, while Day 5 explores how toxic metals like mercury and lead interact with the body. These sessions highlight how toxin exposure may contribute to complex symptom patterns.
Related Videos:
Addressing infections is only one part of a larger picture that may include immune balance, nervous system regulation, and inflammation control. Day 4 explores why eliminating bacteria alone may not resolve lingering symptoms, emphasizing a broader systems-based perspective. This helps explain why some individuals continue to experience symptoms despite targeted treatments.
Related Videos:
Autoimmunity can be influenced by multiple triggers, including infections, toxins, and gut health imbalances. Day 1 breaks down the key drivers of autoimmune responses, while Day 5 connects how Lyme disease may trigger or worsen these immune patterns. These sessions provide a deeper understanding of how immune dysfunction develops and persists.
Related Videos:
The nervous system plays a major role in regulating inflammation, stress responses, and recovery capacity. On Day 4, you’ll learn how vagal dysfunction and brain-body communication may influence Lyme-related symptoms, including fatigue and cognitive changes. Understanding this connection can help explain how stress and nervous system imbalance impact overall health.
