11. Asking for What you Need Amidst Mold & Lyme Disease | Lauren Keller - a podcast by Noa Porten

“All you can do is ask for what you need , and if the response isn’t what you had hoped for, that’s fine too because you still get information from it”- Lauren Keller

In this episode Noa chats with Lauren Keller, a chronic illness and detox expert NP who was diagnosed with chronic neurological Lyme Disease and Mold Toxicity, among other chronic illnesses, around 8 years ago, and is now on a quest to help patients find their way to wellness in her clinic Two Purple Carrots. This episode was recorded a year ago and Noa asks Lauren some of the deep questions that made her want to start this podcast in the first place like how do you ask for what you need, can millennials meet anywhere other than dating apps, what do you do when you’re living with your partner and you find mold in your apartment!

Lauren shares her journey from heartbreak to love and most importantly, self acceptance through chronic illness. From getting diagnosed with Lyme disease whilst in a serious relationship, to healing from heartbreak, to entering a new serious relationship after an unexpected Tinder date, and then navigating mold and moving as a couple, Lauren emphasizes the most important lesson she learned was how to communicate and ask for what she needed.
