🎒 With so many children heading back to school this week, it’s important to remember that not every student is starting the year on equal ground. For children living with Lyme disease, symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, fatigue and pain can make learning especially difficult.
This article highlights key symptoms to watch for in school-aged children and ways teachers and caregivers can offer support.
As students head back to the classroom, it’s easy to get caught up in supply lists, routines, and new beginnings. But for some children, especially those dealing with chronic health conditions like Lyme disease, the school year brings more than just textbooks and tests — it brings invisible chal...

🕷️ Ever heard of Lyme disease? It’s sometimes called “the great imitator”…
It’s caused by the spiral-shaped bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, passed to humans through bites from infected ticks.
Because its symptoms overlap with so many other conditions, Lyme is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
👉 Early signs can include a bull’s-eye rash (though not always) and many people go years without the right diagnosis.
At AONM, we support patients and practitioners with advanced testing and education — helping uncover factors that may be contributing to symptoms.

⚡ Persistent fatigue, joint pain, or neurological symptoms? Standard tests often miss underlying infections like Lyme disease and its co-infections. 🦠
That’s why we’re proud to partner with ArminLabs — leaders in advanced testing trusted by practitioners worldwide. Their panels can help uncover what’s often missed:
ArminLabs combines scientific precision with a focus on finding root causes 🌱, ArminLabs provides clarity so you (and your patients) can move forward with informed care.
Since COVID, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders in young people have risen sharply. 😟 It's not just "stress" — a mix of social, environmental, and physical factors all play a part.
In our recent webinar, Dr. Debby Hamilton explored how practitioners can take a multi-layered, integrative approach to support adolescents.
Here’s what we covered:
📊 The scale of the adolescent mental health crisis and what’s driving it
🔍 How physical factors like nutrient deficiencies, infections, allergies, and hormonal changes can impact mood and behaviour
🧪 Which tests can help uncover hidden contributors
🌿 Ways herbs, nutrients, and supplements can support resilience and overall wellbeing
AONM bridges the gap by providing advanced testing, practitioner support, and educational resources to help make sense of these complex challenges.

Around 1 in 6 adults in the UK are thought to be deficient in Vitamin D – the “sunshine vitamin” that’s not only key for bones, but also plays a role in mood, energy levels, sleep, immunity, and even heart health. (Source: UK Government Review, 2023)
Deficiencies in vitamins like D, B12, or A don’t always show up right away — but they can quietly drain your energy, focus, and resilience.
✨ That’s where ArminLabs Vitamin Testing comes in. We make it easy to check your micronutrient status and uncover imbalances before they take a bigger toll on your health.
🔍 Tests available include:
• Vitamin D (25(OH)D) & Calcitriol
• Active B12 & full B vitamin panel (B1–B9)
• Vitamin A & K1
✔️ Simple blood test (serum or EDTA)
✔️ Ideal if you struggle with fatigue, low immunity, poor absorption, or neurological symptoms
Building on Part I, this webinar will explore:
🔹 Advanced mitochondrial markers (including PGC1-alpha & Nrf-2 activity)
🔹 The impact of oxidative stress & mitochondrial DNA damage
🔹 How mitochondria process fuels – carbohydrates, fatty acids & glutamine
🔹 Insights into potential therapeutic strategies guided by results
💡 Includes live Q&A with the speakers!

🧠 Understanding PANS & PANDAS 🔬
PANS/PANDAS are infection-triggered autoimmune syndromes that can cause sudden neuropsychiatric symptoms such as tics, OCD-type behaviours, emotional swings, anxiety, and cognitive difficulties. These conditions arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks the basal ganglia in the brain following infections such as strep, EBV, influenza, Lyme disease and more.
PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections) are a type of autoimmune disorder that results in basal ganglia encephalitis and are believed to be triggered primarily by infections.

The Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM) was established in 2005. It has always had an interest in supporting, developing and promoting cutting-edge research in the field of integrative medicine with a particular focus on patients who are suffering from poorly understood conditions that are often misdiagnosed as psychiatric when they have biomedical causes.
For over a decade AONM has held national and international conferences and seminars attracting researchers, scientists, doctors and patients from around the world. AONM conferences are well renowned. They focus on educating both the professionals and patients in an inclusive and interactive way. AONM ensures that their conferences are also patient-centred.
The Academy’s main areas of focus are the underlying drivers of chronic complex conditions, and has been instrumental introducing an understanding of the bacterial and viral causes. A key to this has been to find tests that actually evidence persistent infection in chronic cases where serology has its shortcomings. As a result, AONM has pioneered testing methods from abroad where these technologies have long been established, such as ArminLabs for vector-borne disease, Moleculera Labs for infection-driven autoimmune encephalitis (also called PANS/PANDAS). A natural development was therefore moving into the area of Lyme Disease and co-infections as well as other stealth pathogens and biotoxins.
AONM’s testing activity has therefore become very strong and unique. We also represent Maintrac in Germany which runs tests of circulating cancer cells and can also test for chemo-sensitivity and the effectiveness of natural agents against these cells on a personalised basis.
The Academy has an additional specialism on the mitochondria due to its contacts with research taking place in the UK and the rest of Europe.
We act as a force for the integration of complementary and conventional medicine, and increasing numbers of NHS doctors attend our conferences, use our tests and involve us in their teams on occasion in complex cases.
