- This is episode 26 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast.
Fred Diamond's popular book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.
On today’s podcast, Fred interviews marine scientist Alayna Bellquist about how embracing nature, something many Lyme disease survivors are reluctant to do, reduced many of her anxieties and challenges with the disease.
When Fred was doing the research for his popular book “Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know,” he had no idea how traumatizing being out in nature could be for Lyme disease survivors. Even seeing a deer on the side of the road could be difficult.
But some people have attributed embracing the nature they once loved as a way to heal. Alayna discussed on this Love, Hope, Lyme podcast how she was able to reduce her Lyme anxieties and challenges by fully embracing her love for sea and riding horses as critical to her recovery.

Thank you Mr. Diamond! I am 51 and was diagnosed with Lyme and several coinfections in Jan 2023, after 5 months of misdiagnoses and probably years of related issues. Like Alayna, My husband is also that man who took me on consistent nature outings when I couldn’t drive at all ( and we still do this together as I am still recovering). I still have some issues with “certain” parts of nature but am very thankful to the Lord for His creation and lessons we find in that creation. My husband is very grateful for your book, which has become his number one resource in understanding my journey. Thank you again! And thank you Alayna!
Thank you for listening! And for your kind words about my book. Means a lot to me right now.
