Lauren Lovejoy is the charismatic entrepreneurial founder of the Lyme service organization Lyme Warrior. She grew up and lives in rural Virginia.  Ms. Lovejoy was living a life of a normal 20 something, working in a law office by day and attending graduate school studying Analytics at night. She filled her remaining time participating in social activities and training at a CrossFit gym. One weekend, when she took an 8-hour road trip, she suffered a panic attack, shaking, and an out of body experience. After returning to school, she began to suffer from disorientation and vision loss. Her symptoms continued to build to the point that she had to acknowledge she “could not continue her job or her education.” Her illness remained undiagnosed, despite visiting “piles of primary care doctors, every category of specialists (twice), and functional medicine” professionals. One renowned neurologist told her “there was nothing he or any doctor could do for [her]” and she had to accept her “life as being home bound.” Her diagnosis arrived as a gift from a nurse at a holistic clinic that rejected her as a patient. He told her “based on your symptoms, you sound like you have Lyme disease” and encouraged her to attend a specialized Lyme clinic. During her time studying Lyme disease, she discovered her story was not uncommon. She learned that the well documented disease was “still denied by [her] government, and most doctors.” This information inspired her to create the Lyme Warrior non-profit from her couch. If you would like to learn more about how Lyme Warrior Lauren Lovejoy discovered that it was her job to try to prevent her Lyme disease story “from happening to as many people as possible,” then tune in now!

The Lyme Warrior with Lauren Lovejoy

Suzanne Burden

  Bio-From Grad Student and workaholic to bed-bound Lyme patient, Lauren started Lyme Warrior four years ago when she learned the struggle of Lyme first hand and knew she had to help. Lauren holds a Masters in Analytics and has years of experience in promotion and the legal field. She is working to empower those with Lyme Disease and help others to join together to make a change while still fighting her personal battle with Lyme Disease.  To date, Lyme Warrior has given over $70,000 to Lyme research, Lyme patients in need, and shipped over 300 Kid's Smile boxes to children suffering from Lyme Disease. Lauren lives in Virginia with her best friend and teammate Eric where they run an Airbnb and regenerative agriculture farm.    Key Takeaways:  Loving someone with Lyme is complicated. Seemingly overnight,  Lauren began dealing with anxiety and panic attacks and became bed-bound while searching for answers. (10:00) Self-advocacy is so important when you are being dismissed by practitioners. If you can learn anything from this episode, learn that you must be driving your own healthcare journey. (12:00)   “Yeah, after two years...I finally found a diagnosis.” followed by the crushing reality that recovering from Lyme is, in fact, awful, and it didn’t work. I turned to the Lyme Facebook groups for answers on how to heal.   A crash landing can happen when you are close to healing. Our 4th date consisted of moving across the country for treatment. Dating while going through the unknowns of being in treatment. Tapping into your intuition...keep doing what is working.    Accepting care as a vulnerable patient can be very difficult. When you do find people who can help you heal, you must let them into your world.   Try and stay open to the possibilities around you, even when you are suffering.    “If you focus on the problems, you will miss the opportunities. If you focus on opportunities, you’ll see past your problems.”   Who we are, is different than who we will inevitably become.   2 for 1 deal: Healing the Lyme often exposes other areas that need to be healed.(22:00)   “It’s ok to be scared as you face the unknown of battling chronic Lyme.”   Brene Brown says “Do it afraid.”   “Let go of being scared of becoming someone else.”-Lauren Lovejoy (32:00) “I choose to let gratitude smack me in the face.”-Lauren Lovejoy A big misconception is that your friends and families will see and understand what you are battling. But they often don’t understand. And you may need to put boundaries around the relationships that are draining or taking away energy from you.   Be open to new friends, they could be your next best resource. If you need answers, the FB groups can be really helpful to talk to strangers who ‘get it.”    Lyme Warrior was born out of wanting to help people get access to treatments.
