Episode 154 -

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Heather Gray talks with Jaime Intile about making specialized care for Lyme disease and complex chronic illness more accessible and affordable. They explore the broken systems that leave patients financially devastated, the isolating experience of being medically gaslit, and how a subscription-based virtual clinic is changing the landscape for patients who need ongoing support without surprise bills.

Jaime shares her own Lyme journey, from a tick bite in the third grade to years of dismissal by conventional doctors, and how that experience directly shaped the mission behind Ravel Health. Listeners will come away with a clear understanding of how Ravel works, what it costs, and how the acute tick bite package offers immediate, guideline-based care for new bites.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Lyme disease misdiagnosis and the cost of delayed care

• How Ravel Health matches patients with vetted, Lyme-literate providers

• The subscription model for continuity of care in complex chronic illness

• Affordable pricing structures for initial visits, monthly care, and maintenance

• The acute tick bite package and ILADS-based treatment protocols

• Conditions treated beyond Lyme, including long COVID, mold illness, and ME/CFS

About Jaime Intile:

I began my career in marketing and advertising, where I developed a strong foundation in strategic communication, brand building and team dynamics. These skills seamlessly transitioned into my role as a corporate coach, where I became known for my ability to foster relationship-driven, high-performing teams and enhance organizational culture.

In 2016, however, my life took a profound term when a dog bite triggered dormant, Lyme disease, leading to a significant breakdown of my immune system. Faced with this unexpected health challenge, I chose a holistic approach to treatment. Despite significant setbacks, I successfully reversed my symptoms over time — a testament to perseverance and a multidisciplinary approach to healing.

My path intersected with Kevin's through a shared dedication to patient-centered care, leading us to co-found Ravel Health. With a unique blend of strategic insight, personal resilience and a deep commitment to service, I continue my journey with Ravel, making healing more accessible, meaningful and impactful for patients.

Episode 153 In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Heather Gray talks with Jessica Dibb about conscious breathing, integrative breathwork, and why the breath may be the most powerful and accessible tool we have for healing and transformation. They explore how breathwork activates global neural coherence, supports emotional processing, and can help shift us from fear-based patterns into embodied presence.

Jessica shares her journey from classical ballet to a yoga ashram to the doorstep of medical school, and how a single breathwork session revealed what she had been searching for since childhood: a universal medicine available to every person, in every moment. She explains how conscious breathing engages the full brain, why studies suggest breathwork may produce effects comparable to plant medicine without the side effects, and how the respiratory circuits are wired throughout nearly every part of the brain. Listeners walk away with a deeper understanding of why breathwork is gaining attention as a foundational practice for physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual wellbeing.
