This week on the Healing Grove Podcast, join me for a sit down with a brilliant investigative journalist who has a heart for Lyme and novel therapeutics. Please welcome to the stage, Mary Beth Pfeiffer.

Mary Beth Pfeiffer, author of Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change, has been an award-winning investigative journalist for three  decades, specializing in social justice, environmental and health issues. Since 2012, Pfeiffer has become the leading U.S. investigative journalist on the growth of and controversies surrounding Lyme disease, a hidden menace that, she argues, has been fostered by a warming world while being vastly underestimated and poorly managed by American medicine. For her Lyme reporting, Pfeiffer was honored with the prestigious Sigma Delta Chi award in 2013 from the Society for Professional Journalists, among more than one hundred journalism honors during her career.

Sally K. Norton, MPH, is an Ivy-League-trained nutritionist, speaker, and author of Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better. After decades of personal health struggles, Sally discovered that the very “superfoods” she believed were nourishing her were actually fueling her chronic pain and fatigue. Now, she helps others uncover the hidden role of dietary oxalates in their own symptoms and teaches simple, evidence-based steps for recovery. Sally’s work empowers people to take back control of their health by returning to traditional, nutrient-balanced eating rooted in bioindividual awareness.
