In Episode 78 of Bioenergetics Beat, host Miriam is joined by passionate Lyme disease advocate and crocheted crusader Brenda Sterling-Goodwin. Together, they dive into the realities of living with chronic Lyme, the gaps in awareness and care, and how one woman’s fight has become a nationwide movement of education, empowerment, and green bears.
In This Episode:
Brenda’s personal journey with Lyme disease and Bartonella since 1997.
Why education is critical.
How misdiagnosis and gaslighting still plague Lyme patients across Canada.
Brenda’s viral Lyme advocacy projects include her iconic “Lymear” bear and Lymettes.
What inspired the Positive Pickle, a crochet-based act of emotional support.
How Lyme disease is an occupational health hazard in vet tech, agriculture, and outdoor professions.
Brenda’s pivotal role in inspiring Bill C-442, Canada’s national Lyme strategy.
Practical advice for newly diagnosed Lyme patients: “You have to fight. Don’t give up.”
How WeAreNIKKI technology supports energy, sleep, and pain management for chronic illness.
Brenda is a tireless Lyme disease advocate whose work spans continents. Known for her lime green wheelchair, glasses, and teddy bears, she’s handed out thousands of educational materials and crocheted awareness items like the Lymear, Lymettes, and her newest creation—the Positive Pickle. Brenda’s advocacy earned her the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal for her contributions to health awareness in Canada.
Words from Brenda:
“You have to be a bulldog. If one thing isn’t working, hunt for another. You are not alone. And never, ever give up.”
