Healthy Eating Made Easier

On Monday, July 29, 2019, at the monthly meeting of the Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva, we will be discussing a very important topic - how to eat to give ourselves a better chance for healing from tick-borne diseases and maintaining good health once we become symptom free.

Joining us on MONDAY, JULY 29th, will be Rachel Schulze, Registered Dietician, who practices in Salisbury, Maryland. Rachel is passionate about working with clients to help them achieve good health through proper, personalized, sustainable nutrition. She has worked with a diverse population from adolescents with irritable bowel syndrome to adults with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. She also has some clients with Lyme disease.

In an informal, round-table discussion, we will be learning some techniques from Rachel that will help us transition into eating healthier - not just for the short-term while we undergo treatment for tick-borne diseases - but helpful hints on eating healthy for a lifetime. Rachel specializes in helping her clients make the transition from eating the things that taste good, but make us overweight and unhealthy - straining our immune system - to sustaining good nutrition practices.

I remember when I first learned I had tick-borne diseases. I was given a copy of Dr. Joseph Burrascano's treatment guidelines and told to do what it said - including changing my diet. I read the guidelines and then stood in my kitchen, looking at the food I had, and woefully saying, "But I'm hungry! What am I going to eat?" From there, I just had to forge onward on my own, learning to transition to a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet. It was tough! I didn't have someone like Rachel to help me transition and make this part of the journey a lot easier.

Whether you need to make eating healthy a part of your healing process from tick-borne diseases, or if you need to lose weight, come join us for a very helpful discussion that promises to provide lasting education on one of the most important aspects of daily living.
