For decades, Lyme disease survivors have faced an uphill battle—dismissed by doctors, forced to wait years for appointments, and left without clear paths to healing.
In this powerful episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme Podcast, Fred Diamond speaks with Dr. Monica Embers, a leading Lyme disease researcher at Tulane University and contributor to The Quiet Epidemic, and Kevin Williams, co-founder of Ravel Health and a chronic Lyme patient of 18 years.
Dr. Embers shares the hard truth: “There is no central place for patients to turn.” She explains why outdated diagnostic tools, lack of federal investment in treatment research, and misinformation have left millions without answers—and how new tests and targeted therapies are finally changing the game.
Kevin Williams opens up about the deeply personal reasons he and co-founder, Jaime Intile, created Ravel Health: to spare others the years of pain and medical gaslighting they endured. Ravel now offers accessible, virtual, Lyme-literate care across 46 states with no waitlists and personalized treatment plans.
🎧 If you or someone you love is navigating Lyme or a related chronic illness, this episode will inform, validate, and give hope.
📌 Learn how Ravel is partnering with science leaders like Dr. Embers to change the future of Lyme care.
