What happens to your diet after a tick bite and why can you’t eat steak anymore?
You go on a hike, you get bit by a tick, and then suddenly you can't eat steak anymore. How is that even possible?
With Alpha Gal syndrome specifically, it's from a bite from the lone star tick. Our gut, our immune system, we're exposed to all this stuff, microplastics and forever chemicals and EMFs, the lone star tick or the deer tick, the straw that broke the camel's back. Mainstream medicine has spent decades making it their job to medically gaslight people with these what they would call mystery illnesses, right? These stealth infections. Like Chronic Lyme disease and alpha gal and mold toxicity. It's this fear machine that's coming out to say keep your kids inside or spray yourself with toxic insect repellent. They should do neither one of these.
A single tick bite can change what you eat for the rest of your life. A glass of wine can trigger what feels like a panic attack. Chronic fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune disease, even anxiety might have more in common than we've been led to believe. Today we're connecting the dots between Alpha Gal syndrome, Lyme disease, histamine intolerance, immune dysfunction, and the bigger question: why are so many people's immune? Immune system suddenly turning against them. And we also tackle one of the hottest debates in medicine right now: GLP1 drugs. You know, who they're actually for and what happens when you come off of them. Joining me is Dr. Will Cole, friend of the show, a leading functional medicine practitioner, host of the Art of Being Well podcast with Dear Media, and co-author alongside Dr.
How does Alpha‑Gal syndrome develop from a lone‑star tick bite?
Josh Axe of Heal Your Cells, Reversing the Irreversible, a book exploring. How to reclaim energy, improve health, and support longevity.

Make sure before we start that you pause, leave a five-star review for us, tell me your favorite guests that I've ever had on. Please welcome Dr. Will Cole to Culture Apothecary for a second time. Are we seeing an entirely new food allergy epidemic because of ticks?
Sadly, yeah. It's it's growing by leaps and bounds. What was completely rare, we never heard of as a human race. It doesn't mean it wasn't going on, but it was just unknown in the early 2000s, has now a hundredfold increased, I think is the latest statistics, of Alpha Gaul syndrome. It's an allergy to a sugar molecule that's in mammalian processes. products in meat and dairy, many meat and dairy.
Everybody's talking about Alpha Gal. It's all I see on social media. So basically the concept is you go on a hike, you get bit by a tick, and then suddenly you can't eat steak anymore. I mean, w what how is that even possible?
There's lots of different variables that are at play here of why we're seeing these rises, the the rise of these stealth infections and biotoxins as a whole. When you look at bacteria, virus, even mold and parasites, it's it's a lot of things. I see it through an ancestral health perspective or the way that humans do things and the way that God does things. And the more that humans pretend to be God. Ga God, there's unintended consequences and sometimes intended consequences.
Is there some kind of common denominator with people who are getting alpha gal? Like they all have mold exposure or anything like that?
Why are tick‑borne illnesses like Lyme disease increasing across the United States?
With Alpha Gal syndrome specifically, it's from a bite from the lone star tick, which it's not just in Texas with the lone star tick. It's from the southwest all the way up to the northeast and New England. It's a lot of people. And again, we're seeing a hundred-fold increase. That's the CDC statistic. I venture to say normally when you look at statistics like that, it's widely under-reported, undiagnosed. And why why are we seeing this rise? Of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and co-infections to Lyme and Alpha Gauss syndrome. It's multifaceted, it's not just one thing. It's a perfect storm of different variables as far as I'm concerned and what I'm seeing on the proverbial ground helping telehealth patients with it.
