Healing Lyme Starts on Your Plate: Nutrition as Medicine with Dr. Marie Matheson
4 months ago
- Nutrition Can Shift Symptoms Before Treatment Begins Dr. Matheson emphasizes that food is not merely supportive—it is therapeutic. Strategic dietary changes can reduce inflammation, stabilize the immune system, and significantly improve symptoms before antibiotics or botanicals are introduced.
- Removing Inflammatory Foods Reduces Immune Burden Refined sugar, gluten, GMO foods, processed ingredients, dairy, and alcohol dramatically increase inflammation, disrupt the gut barrier, and suppress immune function. Eliminating these foods lowers toxic load and improves resilience against Lyme and co-infections.
- Healing Comes From Nutrient Density, Not Restriction Rather than focusing on deprivation, Dr. Matheson encourages “2.0-ing” meals with high-quality proteins, healthy fats, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and easy-to-digest foods like soups and bone broths that support detoxification and gut repair.
