In this compelling episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast, Dr. Myriah Hinchey is joined by Dr. Somer DelSignore to uncover the overlooked and under-discussed topic of congenital transmission of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections from mother to child during pregnancy.
They explore how stealth pathogens like Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can cross the placenta, disrupting fetal development and potentially leading to serious neurodevelopmental and immune conditions.
Dr. DelSignore shares insights from her journey, training with top Lyme specialists, and how this knowledge led her to develop the Reset Protocol to help children with mysterious and chronic conditions.
This episode is a must-watch for clinicians, parents, and advocates looking for real answers to complex pediatric health questions.

In this episode of the LymeBytes! Podcast, Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Somer DelSignore dive deep into the science, clinical realities, and public health failures around congenital Lyme disease.
They explain how tick-borne pathogens can pass from mother to fetus during pregnancy, leading to lifelong consequences, and why this issue remains largely ignored in mainstream medicine. You’ll hear about the inflammatory mechanisms that enable pathogens to breach the placental barrier, the red flags to watch for in infants and children, and how infections may underlie developmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and seizure disorders.
They also propose systemic changes needed in policy, prenatal care, medical training, and research to support families affected by congenital transmission.
Despite the challenges, this episode ends on a hopeful note—emphasizing the neuroplasticity of the developing brain and the potential for healing when we get to the root of these conditions.
