Lyme Disease Tip Summary:

Dr. Vy Simeles of Restorative Health Clinic shares a foundational but often overlooked Lyme healing strategy: optimize daily bowel movements to support detox and improve treatment tolerance.

1. Prioritize Daily Elimination

   • Aim for at least one bowel movement per day to help your body clear out toxins.

   • Regular elimination reduces Herxheimer reactions and supports overall healing.

2. Use Gentle, Effective Supplement Support
   Dr. Vy recommends these top three supplements to promote regularity:

   • SunFiber: A tasteless, water-soluble prebiotic fiber that’s SIBO-friendly and easy on digestion.

   • Vitamin C: Acts as an antioxidant and pulls water into the intestines, softening stools and promoting movement.

   • Magnesium Citrate: Helps draw water into the intestines to ease and regulate bowel movements.

3. Bonus Digestive Support

   • Add ginger and artichoke to stimulate digestion and keep things moving.

   • These natural supports can complement your routine and enhance gut motility.

“Make sure you’re having at least one bowel movement per day. It’s the best way to flush out those toxins to make sure you tolerate treatment better.” – Dr. Vy Simeles

“Hi, it’s Dr. Vy Simeles from Restorative Health Clinic here with a powerful Lyme healing hack. Make sure you’re having at least one bowel movement per day. It’s the best way to flush out those toxins to make sure you tolerate treatment better. My top three go to supplements for this are: number one is sun fiber. This is a gentle prebiotic fiber that dissolves easily in water, doesn’t really have much of a taste, and is well tolerated for people who have SIBO. Number two is something you probably already have in your medicine cabinet, Vitamin C. Vitamin C not only is an antioxidant, but it also helps improve stools by pulling water into the intestines. And number three is magnesium. Specifically, magnesium citrate is really good for softening the stool and getting water into the intestines, just like vitamin C. A bonus tip is that ginger and artichoke are also really good for stimulating digestion and making sure the intestines keep moving. Try these out and let me know if they help.” – Doctor Vy Simeles
