An online event, Healing Lyme: The Neuroinflammation–Brain Protection Summit, launches May 9–13, bringing together 43 experts to examine how Lyme disease and co‑infections impact the brain.

Each day’s sessions are free to watch for 24 hours once they unlock, making the summit widely accessible to patients, caregivers, and practitioners.

The opening day features Lorraine Johnson, CEO of LymeDisease.org, who will share insights from the MyLymeData patient‑powered research project. Her presentation highlights what real‑world patient data reveals about neurological symptoms, treatment patterns, and the lived experience of chronic Lyme disease.

A deep dive into Lyme, neuroinflammation, and cognitive symptoms

Many people with Lyme disease report neurological issues—brain fog, memory problems, fatigue, sensory sensitivity, and cognitive decline—yet these symptoms are often misunderstood or dismissed. This summit brings together researchers, clinicians, and integrative practitioners to explore how infections and inflammation can affect the brain.

Topics covered across the five days include:

• How Lyme and co‑infections may contribute to neuroinflammation
• The biology behind brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive changes
• The role of toxins, mold exposure, and environmental stressors
• Gut‑brain‑immune interactions
• Vagal nerve imbalance and autonomic dysfunction
• Overlapping conditions that complicate diagnosis
• Strategies that may support clearer thinking and neurological resilience

Speakers also address practical concerns such as managing fatigue, understanding memory issues, and exploring nutritional, herbal, and functional‑medicine approaches to support brain health.
