Dr. Michael Karlfeldt - Why Lyme Treatment Fails: Mold Toxicity, Brain Fog, and Hidden Mycotoxins

Still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety even after Lyme treatment?

This is a special re-release of an important episode originally recorded in 2025 that we felt needed to be brought back. More patients than ever are dealing with stalled healing journeys, and one of the most overlooked reasons is mold toxicity.

In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt breaks down how mold and mycotoxins can silently sabotage Lyme recovery by suppressing the immune system, inflaming the brain, and mimicking symptoms often blamed on chronic infections.

You will learn the difference between mold exposure and colonization, how mold affects the nervous system and mental health, why it must often be addressed before Lyme protocols can fully work, and the most effective detox and recovery strategies available.

If you feel like you are doing everything right but still not improving, this conversation may help uncover the missing piece.
