If you are in the Northeast or upper Midwest areas of the United States, you’re probably more familiar with Lyme disease than most people.
With all the research and new information that we have access to, there is still a lot of confusion around Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, especially because the symptoms mirror so many other common medical issues.
So what do we know about Lyme, how can we protect ourselves from tick-borne illnesses, and what steps can we take for prevention? That's what we are going to be talking about today.
In the studio for this conversation are Dr. Tonya Pasternak and Dr. Craig Fasullo from Collaborative Natural Health Partners here in Connecticut.
Dr. Pasternak is a Naturopathic Physician who is passionate about finding the root cause of disease and values taking time to create customized treatment plans for each patient, utilizing a blend of nutrition, botanical medicine, and craniosacral therapy. In addition to treating conditions related to the immune, endocrine, and digestive systems, Dr. Pasternak is our resident expert in the field of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
Dr. Fasullo is also a Naturopathic Physician who addresses a broad range of conditions, including gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal pain, endocrine/hormone imbalance, and men’s health. He is a huge advocate for hands-on physical medicine, incorporating years of training in diverse modalities including osteopathic manipulation, structural integration, Bowen therapy, and myofascial technique to treat both acute and chronic pain conditions, improving quality of life without resorting to drugs or surgery.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
