A single camping trip triggered years of rapid decline, mysterious hair loss, brain fog, and bedridden days, yet one woman turned it around without antibiotics and rebuilt her life.
I sat down with Erika Schlick, who battled celiac disease, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, multiple autoimmune issues, and finally lipedema. She shares how gluten sparked alopecia, why traditional doctors dismissed chronic Lyme, and how shifting to an autoimmune paleo protocol gave her the first real clarity.
We talk about ozone therapy, herbal frequency tinctures, plasmapheresis, and the stem cell treatment that cleared her Lyme symptoms but unexpectedly triggered massive weight gain, leading to her lipedema diagnosis.
Erika also opens up about the dark emotional days, the power of nervous system regulation, and why listening to your body beats blindly following popular trends.
“Listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t keep doing it just because someone said you should.” - Erika Schlick
