In this powerful episode, I talk with Nicole Bell about how her husband’s cognitive decline was first diagnosed as early-onset Alzheimer’s before tick-borne infections became part of the story. She shares what Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia taught her about misdiagnosis, immune dysfunction, direct testing, caregiving, grief, and why asking deeper questions can change everything.

Nicole Bell is an author, engineer, and CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, a laboratory advancing diagnostic tools for tick-borne illnesses. After losing her husband to a tragic misdiagnosis, she turned her personal loss into purpose. Through her memoir What Lurks in the Woods, she brings awareness to the devastating consequences of undiagnosed infections. As a leader in biotech, she’s pioneering innovative direct detection methods to uncover the root causes of chronic illness.
With degrees from MIT and Duke, she combines her background in engineering and biomedical innovation with her mission to revolutionize the standard of care in tick-borne disease. She is a passionate advocate for better diagnostics, systemic change in healthcare, and the power of caregivers to demand answers and drive solutions.
