Unveiling The Quiet Epidemic, an Interview with Co-Directors Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch Does chronic Lyme really exist? And if it does, why is this illness so controversial? These questions only lead to more questions. Film-makers Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch passionately set out to uncover the answers. The result? A brilliant and powerful film, The Quiet Epidemic. In this episode, Liza interviews co-directors Lindsay Keys and Winslow Crane-Murdoch to learn the back story on how and why they created this important documentary. Turns out, passion is one immense driving force to heal. Now, they’ve ignited a new movement to help others impacted by this debilitating illness known as chronic Lyme.Their film, The Quiet Epidemic, was just released on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vimeo on Demand on May 16, 2023. Be part of this bold movement. Listen now to this inspiring interview to hear the real-life stories of hope and purpose driving the creation of this impactful film.About the film, The Quiet EpidemicAfter years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of scientific research and buried documents reveals why ticks—and the diseases they carry—have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.CO-DIRECTORS’ ORIGIN STORYIn 2015, each of us was forced to move home with our families in upstate New York due to Lyme disease. Upon learning we were filmmakers with Lyme, a nurse suggested we connect—so Lindsay wrote Winslow a note that was handed to him the next day. Thrust into the middle of a controversial medical mystery, we used our cameras to understand the disease that upended our lives. Seven years later, The Quiet Epidemic is the result. An estimated 500,000 people are infected with Lyme each year and 10-20% of them remain sick after treatment. Even still, Chronic Lyme is dismissed by mainstream medicine. We hope our film can awaken the public to this threat and re-engage the medical and scientific communities on finding answers for a disease that is as close as our own backyard.FILM DIRECTORSLindsay Keys is a director, producer, cinematographer and photographer based in the desert outside of Los Angeles. She has shot still and motion content for clients ranging from Bernie Sanders to The Whitney Museum. Her photography has been exhibited internationally, published in The New York Times, Time Out Magazine, Interview Magazine, and auctioned at Christie’s. While attending Wesleyan University (‘11), Lindsay’s health began deteriorating with no explanation. Upon getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease in 2015, she began working on The Quiet Epidemic and spent the next seven years dedicated to its completion. This is her first feature film.Winslow Crane-Murdoch is a director, cinematographer and editor based in Portland, OR. Since graduating from Connecticut College in 2013 where he studied film, his work has taken him across the country and overseas. He made an episodic series about student loan debt, hiked and filmed a 3,000 km walk across New Zealand for Outside Television and has shot and directed for large brands and political campaigns. He was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2015 and began working on The Quiet Epidemic shortly after. This is his first feature film.Vital Plan Herbs:My kids and I experience tremendous benefits from being on Vital Plan Herbs.

Ever heard of someone being allergic to red meat? Alpha-Gal Syndrome (ASG) is commonly known as the red meat allergy, but it’s much more than that. Alpha-Gal Syndrome is an illness transmitted by a tick where you become allergic to mammal meat and mammal byproducts. Symptoms range from itchiness to vomiting to anaphylaxis. Although there is a simple blood test for Alpha-Gal Syndrome, there is a significant lack in awareness, even in the medical community. This illness mimics Lyme disease and on average takes seven years to get properly diagnosed. What’s more, it affects your entire way of life, as mammal byproducts are often found in EVERYTHING.This empowering conversation addresses acceptance and grief and how to experience joy in life despite feeling robbed of the joy in your life. In this episode, Liza speaks with Two Alpha Gals, Debbie and Candice. After years of physical pain, serious GI issues and ongoing mystery illness, both gals were diagnosed with Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Learn how these Two Alpha Gals (who are chefs and foodies) found their way to empowerment through the process of grief, acceptance and embracing their newfound lifestyle. This is a feel-good, inspirational episode and a Very Happy Story. Connect with Two Alpha GalsCandice Matthis and Debbie Nichols started blogging as Two Alpha Gals after they were diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome in 2018 and 2019. Since then, they’ve been sharing tips and tricks on navigating life while living with the condition they contracted from ticks that makes them allergic to mammal meat and mammal byproducts. With appearances in The Atlantic and on The Today Show, The Skimm, Tick Boot Camp, and many other national and international podcasts and publications, Candice and Debbie continue to raise awareness of what it’s like to live with alpha-gal syndrome without sacrificing joy.Both women live with their families and a ridiculous number of pets in the New River Valley of Virginia where they love to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.https://www.twoalphagals.com/https://www.instagram.com/twoalphagals/Testing for Alpha-Gal Syndrome:A simple blood test can check for Alpha-Gal Syndrome.

Did you know that many psychiatric illnesses in children stem from bacterial infections? Many doctors we see on the frontlines are unaware of these stealth infections so children can go undiagnosed for quite a while. It’s not uncommon for these children to enter treatment programs for conditions such as suicidal ideation, OCD and eating disorders. The stealth infections causing these psychiatric conditions include Lyme disease, Babesia, Mycoplasma and Bartonella just to name a few. In this episode, Liza interviews Dr. Rosalie Greenberg, Board-Certified Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, known for her expertise in the diagnosis and management of complex psychiatric problems in children.Dr. Greenberg shares stories of children under her care who have experienced improvement through the diagnosis and treatment of these underlying medical conditions. She discusses the psychiatric manifestations of these infections, the type of testing needed and the complexities of some cases, including situations of a congenital load where mothers have also been diagnosed with the same infections. This is an important episode to listen to if you are dealing with mental health issues in your family or know someone who is. There are real connections between psychiatric disorders and stealth bacterial infections. Awareness is critical. Liza and Dr. Greenberg unpack all of it. Listen to this episode.Liza’s Guest:Dr. Rosalie Greenberg is a Board-Certified Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrist, known for her expertise in the diagnosis and management of complex psychiatric problems in children, and pediatric psychopharmacology.Dr. Greenberg received her MD from Columbia University-College of Physicians and Surgeons, where she also completed her training in adult psychiatry, as well as a fellowship in child psychiatry, serving as chief resident. She subsequently served for years on the teaching faculty at Columbia.   A firm believer in the power of education, Dr. Greenberg is an author, researcher, lecturer, co-producer of an educational film, and creator and host of an award-winning cable TV show, all related to children's health. These various activities have been geared to both medical professionals and the lay public, including presentations at both national and international conferences. Dr. Greenberg brings her 40+ years of experience to topics that range from adolescent suicide and pediatric bipolar disorder as well as the many psychological aspects attributed to Lyme disease. Working in New Jersey, where Lyme disease is endemic, she found a sizeable number of the children she evaluated, tested positive for tick-borne illness, most of whom never had a known tick bite. For the past few years, she has focused on the psychiatric manifestations of infectious diseases, especially, tick-borne illnesses in children and adolescents.Dr. Greenberg maintains a private practice in Summit, New Jersey.https://www.rosaliegreenbergmd.com/Connect with Liza Online:Liza’s Personal and Group Coaching - https://www.veryhappystories.com/workLiza on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lizasveryhappystories/Liza on FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/veryhappystorieswithLizaBlas/Subscribe to Liza’s Newsletter – www.veryhappystories.comLiza’s Favorites:Grateful for our sponsor - Green Valley NutritionHave you heard of all-natural CBD products by Green Valley Nutrition?
