Over 400,000 are diagnosed with Lyme every year. In 2011, literature professor Michelle Slater started experiencing symptoms, leading to the diagnosis of Late-Stage Lyme Disease. From there, she developed an autoimmune disorder and other symptoms that made it extremely difficult to perform everyday tasks to the point that she considered medically assisted suicide.

But Michelle isn’t just a dedicated educator–she is also a survivor. Despite the physical struggles from her disease, she kept firmly on the path of healthy living. She started researching different treatments and modalities, eventually finding a program in Siberia that would change things for the better.

She became symptom-free in 2017, regaining her work, her memory, and her life. Michelle developed a renewed passion for educating others on the science of the alternative treatment that healed her and for inspiring others through writing her story–a true example of being Beautifully Broken.

Tune in to this amazing episode with one of the most inspirational people I’ve met!
