Hi, we're Lizzie & Zoë.
As your Wellness Guides, we’re here to walk beside you as you navigate Lyme, Mold illness, and chronic health challenges—offering grounded guidance, real-world solutions, and support that honors your autonomy.
Healing at the intersection of Lyme and Mold.
Healing from Lyme disease and Mold illness isn’t just about following a treatment plan—it’s about integrating that plan into your daily life in a way that’s sustainable, achievable, and tailored to you. At Lyme Life, you don’t have to try to fit yourself into unrealistic routines or diets, you take what works for you and leave the rest.
The Mission
Why Lyme Life Exists
We help empower people with Lyme and Mold Illness to reclaim their quality of life by taking control of their health, integrating lifestyle choices, and finding balance.
We believe healing is about more than just protocols and prescriptions—it’s about finding what works for you, not fixing what’s broken. Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional treatment and real‑life, sustainable recovery by guiding you through the tools to balance your life. We believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens at home. At work. In relationships. In the environments you actually live in. As we’ve become hyper-aware of the connection between personal health and our environment, it is important to us that we are active stewards of the earth and bring that philosophy into the work we do.
Balance is not perfection or symmetry, but learning to live in rhythm with your body as it changes—what works today may shift tomorrow, and that awareness is not failure, it’s wisdom.
Balance
Healing should be practical and sustainable, fitting into your real life without burnout, because personal health and the environment are deeply connected. We minimize environmentally harmful tools and products whenever possible, acknowledge the systemic challenges involved, and reduce and offset our impact where we can.
Sustainability
Healing should be accessible to everyone who needs it–and should center those most impacted. We focus on what is realistic, sustainable, and accessible.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Healing and improving your life requires personal accountability, and at Lyme Life we hold ourselves equally accountable—to our own practices and to the community we serve.
Accountability
You are not broken or in need of fixing. You are allowed to love your life with chronic illness—living with Lyme, mold, or autoimmune conditions is not weakness, but intelligence, often sensing what others cannot yet feel.
Radical Acceptance
You should call the shots on your own life and body. Your healing should work for your real life, with no single protocol or rigid timeline—only guidance you can choose from, so you decide what fits, what stays, and how you move forward.
Autonomy
Guiding Principles
Our Story
Lyme Life was born from lived experience — not theory.
Our journey began when Zoë was 11 and came down with a mysterious illness that upended our family’s world. Fear, uncertainty, and medical gaslighting followed, teaching us early what it means to question what is real, and to learn to trust ourselves when no one else would.
It took two years for Zoë and Lizzie to receive diagnoses: Chronic Lyme Disease and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS, or mold illness), and many more years before we could begin to find stability and healing from the deep trauma of those formative years; not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.
As Zoë’s health declined, Lizzie’s body quietly gave signals we didn’t yet understand — nosebleeds, slow healing, fatigue — and denial became survival. Dance became the breaking point: a hairline fracture that wouldn’t heal, yet could not be ignored. Eventually, our bodies demanded attention, teaching us lessons we were not ready to hear.
Our experiences were deeply shared, yet profoundly individual. Even as our family went through this journey together, we each experienced both isolation and support. Chronic illness taught us that resilience is built in both solitude and community.
Our healing journey was also shaped by access — to financial resources, information, and healing tools to name a few. This is a privilege we do not take lightly, and without which we might not be here today. Lyme Life exists to give others the guidance, tools, and support we wished we had — without requiring thousands of dollars or insider knowledge.
We also know that health does not exist in a vacuum. Health and illness, especially environmentally-caused illnesses like Mold illness, is deeply intertwined with environment, housing, climate, colonialism, poverty, race, and citizenship. Those most impacted are often denied care. Lyme Life exists to make healing accessible, equitable, and grounded in real life.
From a young age, mindfulness and somatic tools became lifelines. Paired with ancestral knowledge, herbal remedies, and lived experience, these tools created a foundation we could return to whenever our bodies were ready.
Lyme Life is our story, our resilience, our lived wisdom — and our invitation to support others in reclaiming their lives, embracing autonomy, and navigating the journey with guidance, compassion, and community.
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.
