Lyme disease, contracted from the bite of a black-legged tick carrying Borrelia bacteria, is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States. At least 300,000 people are newly diagnosed each year in the U.S., and a shocking 1.5 million have chronic Lyme disease.

While nutrition cannot cure Lyme disease, it can ease symptoms and improve your clients’ overall health, complementing their Lyme treatment protocols and accelerating the healing process. As a dietitian or CNS, you are no doubt familiar with...

In hindsight, I realize that I passively heard her say she missed me, but I wasn’t really listening. As a health coach trained under the ADAPT model, I have learned the value of practicing and honing my listening skills. It is a tool that enables me to reflect and honor my health coaching clients’ vision of wellness. It deepens understanding, so together, we can discover clues to obstacles. Listening is powerful; it helps me support my clients’ efforts to create a roadmap they feel ready to travel.

The distressing symptoms of GERD—heartburn, problems swallowing, regurgitation, sore throat, and more—have led many to turn to acid-blocking drugs, which don’t solve the underlying problems and can trigger their own set of troubling health issues.

I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to any diet, but when it comes to GERD, there are some foods that will exacerbate symptoms and others that will alleviate them. Find out what to eat and what to avoid as part of a GERD-friendly diet. Which foods improve GERD symptoms (and which foods worsen them)?
