NBS #144: She Got So Sick, She Forgot Where She Lived
Michael Rubino, Indoor Air Quality Expert

Dr. Diane Mueller was so sick that one day, during a five-minute walk around her neighborhood, she suddenly couldn't remember how to get home.
She was experiencing significant pain, brain fog, headaches, chronic fatigue, and neurological symptoms. Yet after seeing multiple doctors, her labs kept coming back normal.
Eventually, Diane began searching for answers herself.
She tested herself for Lyme disease and mold illness, and that discovery ultimately changed not only her own health journey, but the way she practices medicine today.
In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller to explore why chronic illness can be so difficult to unravel and why the answer is often more complicated than finding one diagnosis.
They discuss Lyme, mold exposure, environmental toxins, testing limitations, mold colonization, autoimmune disease, relationships during chronic illness, and why two people can live in the same environment but experience completely different health outcomes.
Dr. Diane also explains why she believes chronic illness should be approached as a puzzle with multiple pieces rather than a search for one singular “root cause.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Diane Mueller has been where you are. She knows the exhaustion of being told your labs are normal when you feel anything but. She knows what it's like to sit in a doctor's office and be told it's stress, or anxiety, or that you just need to sleep more — while knowing deep down that something is genuinely wrong. She battled chronic Lyme disease and mold illness herself — and she found her way through. She built My Lyme Doc because no one should have to fight as hard as she did just to get help.
When you work with Dr. Mueller, you are not a file or a symptom checklist. She will sit with you, hear your whole story, and take it seriously. Her approach is gentle, thorough, and always guided by what feels right for you. She knows this journey is exhausting — and she is in your corner every step of the way.
