A step-by-step nutrition program for chronic Lyme and inflammatory illnesses designed to help you calm symptoms, trust your gut, and build a personalized food plan that actually works.
But when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of symptoms…
trying to figure out food on your own can feel impossible.
Living with Lyme and chronic inflammation isn’t just exhausting.
It can feel like your body is constantly working against you.
You're juggling:
Flares that happen without warning
Brain fog that makes even simple tasks feel impossible
Gut issues no one can seem to explain
Food fear, label-reading, and second-guessing every bite
Advice that contradicts itself — and doctors who shrug it off
You've eaten “clean.” You’ve cut things out. You’ve searched the forums, Googled late at night, and maybe even tried protocols that left you worse than before. But you're still stuck. Still tired.
You’re not lazy. You're not crazy. You’re trying your best. But you're still trying to figure out:
What can I eat? What’s actually safe? And why does my body feel like this?
This is why I created the Universal Lyme Diet (ULD) - it is the framework I wish I had in the depths of my illness: a simple, step-by-step system that brings together everything I’ve learned in 10+ years of clinical experience as a dietitian and personal healing journey as a patient.
A science-backed strategy — without the overwhelm
A clear, supportive structure — no more guessing
Designed for low-energy days — no perfection required
Created by someone who’s lived this — not just studied it
Inside the ULD, you’ll learn how to calm inflammation, support your gut, and finally understand your symptoms so you can eat with confidence and feel safe in your body again.
Relief is possible. And you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you’re brand new to food-as-medicine or deep in your chronic illness journey, the ULD gives you clarity, structure, and support without the pressure to be perfect.
