"My Lyme disease symptoms lessened when I cut sugar": Sarah
October 5, 2025
My guest this week is functional medicine nutritionist Sarah Reilly, founder of Get Nourished.
Sarah opens up about her long battle with undiagnosed Lyme disease and the surprising discovery that sugar was actually feeding the infection.
For Sarah, cutting sugar wasn’t just about weight or cravings — it became a critical part of her healing journey.
We talk about:
- How Lyme disease forced Sarah to rethink her relationship with sugar.
- The link between sugar, chronic illness, and low immunity.
- Why even “healthy” foods like smoothies can trigger blood sugar crashes.
- The lasting benefits she sees from stabilizing blood sugar naturally.
Sarah’s story shows how even the toughest health challenges can spark life-changing breakthroughs.
