Envita Patient and Doctor Highlight the Challenges of Chronic Lyme Disease on Fox News Podcasts

Years of persistent pain and unexplained symptoms often lead chronic illness patients, such as those with Lyme disease, to feel disillusioned and abandon their search for answers. “Getting an accurate diagnosis is a big part of the journey,” said Sarah Schlichte, a former patient and current educator at Envita Medical Centers, who struggled for decades to receive a diagnosis. Speaking to Janice Dean on her podcast, Sarah explained how her symptoms worsened, confining her to a wheelchair for two years before she sought care at Envita.

Sarah was bitten by a tick at the age of 18, but she was misdiagnosed for decades, resulting in symptom aggravation and poor quality of life. “We have become a system of specialists that just looks at one individual part of the body, but it's places like Envita that look at you as a whole person,” added Sarah, reiterating how the personalized and integrative approach to care proved to be a gamechanger for her!

Explaining the reason behind the vast scope of this innovative approach, Dr. Daniel Warren, Physician Manager and Lyme Literate Doctor at Envita Medical Centers, said, “We have a lot of different tools at our disposal, and that's because what we do is very individualized medicine.” He added that Envita's advanced approach is designed to identify and simultaneously treat not just the symptoms but also the root causative factors of diseases in each individual patient.
