About this episode

Allie Chandler discusses her journey from chronic illness to wellness brand strategist, focusing on healing from Lyme disease and mold toxicity.

From chronically ill patient to the strategist behind 9-figure wellness brands, this conversation with Allie Chandler is about what it really takes to heal when your body. Allie is the founder and CEO of Upsell Health, a marketing agency helping functional medicine practitioners and supplement companies scale to 60–100M in revenue, after years as the “mystery patient” navigating chronic Lyme, mold toxicity, and hyperadrenergic POTS.​ How a tick bite in Switzerland led to years of debilitating symptoms and delayed Lyme diagnosis.​ The emotional toll of medical gaslighting—and the words patients actually need to hear.​ Why drainage, parasites, and mold often have to come before “going after Lyme.”​ How perfectionism, self-talk, and nervous-system work can either block or unlock healing.​
