Lyme Disease & Vector-Borne Infections
Experiencing unexplained symptoms that may be related to Lyme or vector-borne infections? Get personalized approaches that support your body’s natural healing processes and immune system balance.
Explore complex symptoms. Support your immune system. Work toward greater energy and mental clarity.
If you’ve been experiencing fatigue, brain fog, joint discomfort, anxiety, or symptoms that seem to come and go — and healthcare providers haven’t found clear answers — it may be worth exploring whether Lyme or other vector-borne infections could be contributing factors.
These infections don’t always appear on standard tests. They may affect your immune system, contribute to inflammation, impact your cellular energy, and potentially keep your body in patterns of dysfunction, even long after initial exposure.
At Conscious Medicine, we listen to your concerns. We understand how chronic Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia, Epstein-Barr, and mosquito-borne infections may create complex, systemic imbalances that traditional approaches sometimes miss.
You deserve to be heard. Your symptoms are real. You may be dealing with inflammation, infections, and exhaustion, and we’re here to help you explore potential solutions.
Want To Know?
This Is for You If...
You’ve been diagnosed with Lyme disease, a mosquito-transmitted disease, or a co-infection like Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, or RMSF.
You’ve never tested positive, but suspect something changed after a tick bite, mosquito exposure, or unexplained illness.
You’ve tried antibiotics, but still experience fatigue, brain fog, or inflammation.
Fatigue, brain fog, muscle twitching, or joint discomfort that moves around
You’ve been told your labs are fine, but you don’t feel well.
You’re ready to explore comprehensive approaches rather than just managing individual symptoms.
How Our
Method Works?
At Conscious Medicine, we use a comprehensive, root-cause framework called the Conscious Medicine Method, guiding you through three intentional steps:
Investigate → Revive → Thrive.
We don’t just focus on infections — we may help your body recover, reset, and build resilience from the inside out.
Step 1: Investigate
Explore Potential Contributing Factors
You’ll start with two comprehensive sessions that help us understand the complete picture of what may be affecting your health, beyond what typical tests might reveal.
🩺 Initial Clinical Consultation (75 minutes)
We explore your health history — including potential tick or insect exposures, travel, stress, and any past treatments. We examine the timeline of your symptoms and how they may have changed over time.
🧪 Testing (tailored to your individual case):
- Advanced Lyme and co-infection testing (such as Igenex, Vibrant, DNA Connexions)
- Bioenergetic screening for potential hidden or low-level infections
- Mitochondrial and adrenal assessment (energy, fatigue, post-exertional symptoms)
- Heavy metal, mold, or chemical exposure evaluation
- Gut microbiome and potential stealth infection testing
- Inflammation markers, immune system function, HRV, and nervous system stress assessment
📊 Report of Findings (75 minutes)
We’ll explain — in clear terms — what may be keeping your system challenged and what might need support. You’ll receive a personalized plan to begin your Revive Step with clarity.
Step 2: Revive
Support Your Body's
Natural Healing Processes
We don’t immediately jump to aggressive protocols. We start by supporting your body’s natural strength and healing capacity. This approach may help prevent flare-ups and avoid feeling worse during treatment.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Gentle liver, lymph, and bile drainage support
- Gut health support to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and address potential hidden infections
- Targeted binders and detox support to help lower your toxic burden
- Peptides or bioregulators that may help your immune system rebalance (when medically appropriate)
- Mitochondrial support for potentially better energy and less fatigue
- Sleep and circadian rhythm support help calm your nervous system
- Bioenergetic approaches (like IMAET) that may help regulate immune responses
- Stress management strategies to support your healing process
We focus on building the foundation first, so your system may be better prepared for treatment.
Step 3: Thrive
Targeted Support and Long-Term Wellness
Once your system is more stable and supported, we may begin more targeted approaches, while continuing to support your body’s resilience.
This Step may include:
- Natural or conventional antimicrobials, customized to your individual case (when medically appropriate)
- Regenerative therapies like ozone, IV nutrients, NAD+, and peptide support (when indicated)
- Hormonal support for thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone balance
- Brain and cognitive support strategies (for memory, focus, and mood)
- Lifestyle and movement plans that support healing without overwhelming your system.
- Carefully timed protocols to address infections while minimizing potential reactions
This is where recovery may become more sustainable.
What You Will Get
You'll Walk
Away With
After your Initial Clinical Consultation and personalized Report of Findings, we’ll guide you into the Revive Phase — with a program tailored to your body, your goals, and your life.
A clearer understanding of potential factors behind your symptoms, even if previous labs were “normal.”
A comprehensive strategy that addresses potential infections and the systems they may have affected
Potential relief from energy crashes and symptom flare-ups — with tools to help rebuild energy and clarity
A body that may feel stronger, calmer, and more balanced
A long-term plan to support ongoing wellness
Why It Works
Because vector-borne illness may involve more than just the infection itself
It may affect how your immune system, nervous system, gut, hormones, and energy systems function.
Conscious Medicine, we take a more comprehensive approach. We don’t just address potential infections — we aim to support the whole system so your body may have the best opportunity to recover.
This approach doesn’t just manage symptoms — it may help you reclaim your quality of life.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vector-borne infection?
A vector-borne infection is one that spreads through a non-living carrier, or “vehicle,” such as food, water, blood, or contaminated objects. Unlike vector-borne diseases, which are spread by living organisms (like ticks or mosquitoes), vehicle-borne infections may be transmitted through shared surfaces, medical equipment, or ingestion of unsafe food or water. While our focus at Conscious Medicine is often on chronic or hard-to-detect infections, we help identify all possible sources of immune system stress or imbalance.
What are the five diseases transmitted by vectors?
Vector-borne diseases are caused by infections transmitted by carriers like ticks, mosquitoes, or fleas. Five common vector-borne illnesses include:
- Lyme disease (from ticks)
- Babesiosis (from ticks)
- Bartonella (from ticks or fleas)
- Ehrlichiosis or Anaplasmosis (from ticks)
- West Nile Virus (from mosquitoes)
At Conscious Medicine, we help explore whether one or more of these infections could be affecting your health—especially if you’re experiencing symptoms that haven’t improved with standard care.
Can you have Lyme disease for years and not know it?
Yes. Some people live with undiagnosed Lyme disease for years—especially if they didn’t notice a tick bite or didn’t develop a classic rash. Symptoms may develop gradually and be mistaken for other issues like fatigue, anxiety, joint discomfort, or brain fog.
At Conscious Medicine, we often work with people who’ve experienced unexplained symptoms for a long time. Our approach helps uncover possible past exposures and supports your body’s ability to recover—even if the original infection happened years ago.
Can I fully recover from vector-borne infections?
Many people see improvement with the right care and support. Recovery may take time, especially if symptoms have lasted a while, but a personalized plan can help you work toward more energy, mental clarity, and balanced wellness.
What are the signs of Lyme disease or other vector-borne infections?
Symptoms can vary and may affect multiple systems in the body. Typical concerns may include:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Brain fog or trouble focusing
- Muscle twitching or joint discomfort
- Mood changes, anxiety, or sleep disturbances
- Night sweats or increased heart rate
- Sensitivity to light or sound
