We Created the Resource We Wish We Had
Helping people navigate Mold Illness, Lyme Disease, and environmental sensitivities through trusted resources, practical tools, and recovery-focused products.
Our Story
Lyme Life was born from lived experience—not theory.
Like many people navigating Mold Illness and chronic health challenges, we spent years trying to piece together information from countless websites, practitioner recommendations, podcasts, and online forums. We were searching for answers, trying to make sense of symptoms, diagnoses, treatment options, and the overwhelming amount of conflicting information available.
What we needed wasn't more information—it was a clear place to start.
Our journey began when Zoë became seriously ill at age 11. What followed were years of uncertainty, medical gaslighting, unanswered questions, and a healthcare system that often left us feeling alone and unsupported. It took years for both Zoë and Lizzie to receive diagnoses of Chronic Lyme Disease and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), and even longer to begin finding stability and healing.
Along the way, we learned that recovery extends far beyond appointments and protocols. The hardest part was often figuring out how to integrate recommendations into daily life—understanding what steps to take, what tools to use, and how to create sustainable routines while navigating chronic illness.
We were fortunate to have access to resources, information, and support that many people do not. That privilege is not lost on us. Lyme Life was created to help make trusted information, practical tools, and recovery resources more accessible to others—without requiring years of research or insider knowledge.
We also recognize that health does not exist in a vacuum. Environmental illness, chronic disease, and access to care are deeply connected to where we live, the environments we're exposed to, and the resources available to us. These realities continue to shape our work and our commitment to creating resources that are practical, approachable, and grounded in real life.
Today, Lyme Life exists to help bridge the gap between practitioner recommendations and everyday implementation.
Through educational resources, trusted testing partners, practical recovery tools, and thoughtfully curated products, our goal is simple: to help people move from confusion to action and feel less alone in the process.
We're building the resource we wish we had when we were starting our own journeys.
What Sets Us Apart
Why Lyme Life Exists

Our Mission:
To help people move from confusion to action through trusted resources, practical tools, and functional systems.
Guiding Principles
A diagnosis, suspected exposure, or unexplained symptoms can make it feel like your world has shifted overnight. In a space filled with conflicting advice and information overload, fear can quickly become another obstacle to healing. We believe that knowledge empowers better decisions. By pairing education with practical, actionable guidance, we hope to replace overwhelm with clarity and confidence, helping you make decisions that are right for you and take the next right step forward. Our goal is for fear to no longer stand in the way of your healing journey.
Healing isn't about following the perfect protocol or getting everything right. We believe that small, consistent actions matter more than rigid perfection, especially when you're navigating the many changes that come with chronic illness. Celebrate the steps you do take, be gentle with yourself on the days that feel harder, and remember that progress made imperfectly is still progress. Find the balance that works for you.
Recovery doesn't happen through information alone. Understanding your diagnosis and changing needs is important, but knowing how to apply that knowledge in your everyday life is what creates lasting change. That's what we aim to bring to you and teach through Lyme Life: practical tools and real-life strategies that bridge the gap between medical guidance and daily living. Through our own experiences, we've learned how to integrate both big and small changes in sustainable ways, helping you build a life that supports your healing.
There is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Much of what we know about Lyme Disease, Mold Illness, and autoimmune health is still evolving, and no one knows your body and needs better than you do. We share information, tools, and support to help you navigate your journey, but we encourage you to take what resonates and leave the rest. What matters most is finding what works for you, because this is your life you're reclaiming.
Our Team
Lizzie Luh
Founder & CEO
Lizzie is a creative, entrepreneur, and wanderlust dreamer. She graduated from Miami University with a degree in Marketing and in Entrepreneurship, where she built a foundation of innovative problem solving and systems thinking.
As a lifelong athlete, her connection to her body has become her compass. For years, that compass was suppressed and ignored while she navigated the depths of Lyme and Mold illness, chronic burnout, and nervous system dysregulation. After many dark nights of the soul, she faced the parts of herself that perpetuated living in illness, in dis-ease. Through this journey Lyme Life was born, out of the need and passion to help others navigate this tumultuous journey that requires so much self-love, support and care.
Outside of work, Lizzie is a dog mom of two, avid surfer, photographer, and traveler. You can typically find her outside in nature, reading, crafting or in the water where she is most in her element.
