Send us a textWhat if the most powerful lever for your child's growth isn't another appointment, but how you care for yourself? We sit down with neuropsychologist Dr. Dawn Ilardi to connect the dots between CHD, early brain development, medical trauma, and the everyday choices that help families thrive. From prenatal influences on cognition and behavior to the protective force of stable routines and responsive parenting, we translate research into practical moves you can make this week.We explore why CHD outcomes are shaped long before surgery and how heterogeneity makes each child unique, yet still able to benefit from adapted tools used in the general population. Dr. Ilardi explains how family factors—predictable structure, warm communication, and realistic challenges—can buffer stress and build resilience. We also address the quiet weight of medical trauma for parents and teens, outlining small, affordable supports like gratitude journaling, micro‑breaks, and CHD‑savvy counseling, alongside the healing power of honest community.You'll also hear about a new resource: Parenting Kids with CHD, an on‑demand library of short videos and monthly live Q&A designed to bridge the gap between science and everyday life. Topics range from ADHD meds and evaluation paths to tackling anxiety, early language delays, and transition to adult care. As Anna announces a writing hiatus, we highlight where to find archives and why the broader HUG network continues to amplify CHD stories and support.Subscribe for more conversations that blend empathy and evidence.

Send us a textThis episode features Dr. Giulia Lima (Boston Children's Hospital), a CHNC Mentored Fellow, discussing risk factors for morbidity and mortality among preterm infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) using data from over 11,000 NICU admissions. Surprisingly, older gestational age did not predict improved survival once infants survived beyond three days. Major mortality predictors included surgical NEC, bloodstream infection, trisomy 21, airway anomalies, and compromised systemic output lesions. Multiple gestation appeared protective, though reasons remain unclear. Dr. Lima highlights the importance of standardized prenatal steroids, care coordination, and exploring socioeconomic and ethnic disparities to improve outcomes in this uniquely vulnerable CHD population.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us a textA quiet ranch near the Arizona border, a stack of mandates, and a pharmacist looking for an exemption—that's the unlikely spark behind covidindex.science, a volunteer-built library now holding more than 2,100 entries of COVID studies, interviews, and podcasts. We sit with Ursula Conway to unpack how a Word document became a public resource adopted by Children's Health Defense and designed for anyone who needs clear, searchable evidence without the noise.We walk through how clinicians used CDC myocarditis statements to support medical exemptions for young men, and how families facing cancer searched the index to explore concerns around IgG antibodies, P53 tumor suppression, and ongoing boosters. If you've ever tried to remember a term you heard while driving—only to lose the thread—the index's simple and advanced search makes it easy to find sources by topic, mechanism, or expert, from cancer risk signals to immune responses. Attorneys gain quick access to excerpts for filings, while researchers and patients can follow curated trails that challenge safe-and-effective talking points with primary sources.Ursula shares why CHD's team provides scientific oversight while volunteers do the heavy lifting of curation, and how this citizen-led model resists censorship by distributing the work across many hands. We also zoom out to CHD's wider mission across research, legislation, and litigation on vaccines, wireless exposure, and environmental health, offering a wider lens on informed consent and medical freedom. Whether you're a doctor, lawyer, parent, or curious listener, you'll leave with a practical way to engage: search, verify, share—then consider contributing your own findings to strengthen the commons.Explore the library at covidindex.science, try the advanced search for your topic, and tell us what you discover.

Send us a textWhat does it take to learn to sit again, then stand, then chase the horizon at the Ironman World Championship? We sit down with endurance athlete and keynote speaker Elmar Sprink to trace the steps from sudden cardiac arrest and seven months on ECMO to a disciplined, data‑driven comeback fueled by routine, empathy, and stubborn hope. Elmar opens up about the invisible work of recovery—why he treated hospital life like a training plan, how a visitor spreadsheet kept his spirits up, and the role therapy and humor played when the outcome was uncertain.We unpack the nuts and bolts of training after a heart transplant: threshold testing to set safe zones, the difference denervated hearts can make to heart rate response, and why indoor cycling and carefully staged swim returns protect against infection while rebuilding fitness. Elmar explains how steady training lowered his blood pressure and reduced medications, and he shares the small, daily wins—like a perfect cappuccino—that kept his motivation alive. Along the way, he reflects on gratitude for his unknown donor and the ritual of honoring that gift at every finish line.Anna also spotlights creative sparks and community momentum: new children's stories in the Living with CHD series that portray everyday family life with honesty, plus highlights from the SV-ONE conference where scientists, clinicians, and advocates collaborate for single ventricle care. We share upcoming inclusion goals, from an ASL episode to a new German episode featuring Elmar, and we talk candidly about organ donation advocacy—what messaging moves people, and how real stories can shift culture and save lives.If you're navigating CHD, recovery, or any long road back, this conversation offers a clear playbook: start small, be consistent, protect your body, lean on your people, and celebrate the quiet victories.

Send us a textWhat happens when a grandmother's love collides with a broken system? When Christy Pace's grandson Hunter was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome before birth, she found herself thrust into an unexpected role – not just as a supportive grandmother, but eventually as a visionary determined to transform how the CHD community connects.Our conversation pulls back the curtain on the rarely discussed perspective of grandparents in the CHD journey. Christy's raw honesty about her emotional response – moving from shock to protection, anger to fear – reveals the complex ripple effects when a heart diagnosis enters a family. When COVID restrictions prevented her from being present for Hunter's birth or even meeting him until he faced a life-threatening cardiac arrest at two months old, Christy's determination only grew stronger.The isolation heart families experience emerged as a central theme in our discussion. As Christy watched her daughter retreat from social gatherings to protect Hunter between surgeries, she recognized a hard truth many relatives miss: this isolation isn't a choice but a survival strategy. "This isn't 'I don't want them to get a cold,'" Christy explains. "This is life and death." Her passionate plea for extended family to keep inviting, even when the answer is consistently "no," offers valuable perspective for anyone supporting heart families.But what makes this conversation truly special is how personal trauma transforms into purpose. After years of searching for resources to help her daughter and grandson, Christy grew frustrated with the scattered nature of CHD support. Rather than starting another foundation, she's created something revolutionary: CHD Connects Hearts, a distraction-free ecosystem bringing together patients, families, organizations, and researchers in one private community without the noise of advertising or algorithms.Whether you're a heart parent, grandparent, or supporter, this episode offers both emotional validation and practical hope. As Christy reveals her vision for united progress in the CHD world, you'll be inspired to consider how connection might be our most powerful medicine.Link to CHD Connects Hearts: https://chdconnectshearts.com/homeAnna's Blog: https://www.heartsunitetheglobe.com/hug-blog/moving-beyond-facebook-joining-forces-with-chd-connects-heartsSupport the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Texas luxury real estate leader Kirstine Openshaw about what actually moves deals in an oversaturated market. Kirstine strips away the hype—pretty brochures and ad spend don't close; trust, community touchpoints, and pain-point clarity do. She unpacks how living through her sons' congenital heart defect (CHD) journeys reshaped her mindset, why detachment from outcomes accelerates growth, and how to read buyer/seller psychology without manipulation. This is a grounded playbook for agents and founders who want referral-driven businesses, sharper messaging, and resilience when markets turn.   About the Guest  : Kirstine Openshaw is consistently ranked among the top performers in Texas real estate and is an ICON Agent with eXp Realty. A UK-to-Texas transplant, she built a largely referral-based business from zero local sphere. She's also a committed CHD advocate and a self-described “heart-warrior mom.”   Key Takeaways: Relationships beat tactics: Tech, AI, and glossy marketing matter after you earn trust through real community contact. Lead with proximity: Host neighborhood events—garage sales, ice-cream trucks, open houses—to create face-to-face touchpoints that warm any future ads. Pain points drive action: Most buyers/sellers move from discomfort, not dreams; craft offers and messages that solve the present problem first. Mindset is operational, not fluffy: Detach from rigid outcomes; it frees options and surfaces better-fit opportunities. Read the room: Share personal stories after rapport; oversharing too early can trigger doubts about your availability. Market cycles require different skills: In frenzy (low rates), coach clients past zero-sum thinking; in slowdowns, uncover true motivations and affordability limits. Build from belief: Clarify why clients should choose you, then map their top concerns and your specific solutions before buying ads. Process for message-market fit: Whiteboard ICP pain points → your interventions → delivery channel (events, video, door-knocking, social). Focus on flexibility: Goals can and should evolve as your vantage point changes. Play the long game: Earn repeat and referral business to reduce ad spend and stabilize revenue.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.openshawrealtygroup.com/kirstine-openshaw--28dac Social: Find Kirstine Openshaw on major platforms by name (links also on her website).   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

 My second interview with Hank Allen of Eagle, Idaho centers on Hank's claim that his electrical sensitivity dramatically diminished after he reduced the mold burden in his body using the approach described in Neil Nathan's book, Toxic. So dramatic was the improvement that Hank was able not only to attend his daughter's high-school graduation as he had hoped, but also to take the family on a vacation to Italy where he felt well. We also talk about faith, the current status of the lawsuit supported by CHD, and Hank's view that changes to radio-frequency safety guidelines — and he believes that broader support for the president and his HHS secretary would be beneficial. Finally, we clarify something from episode 83: Hank's reports of atrial fibrillation episodes that he says occurred at particular hours and while positioned on a line between cell towers—fascinating!

Send us a textTyler Šajdák wasn't supposed to grow up. Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in 1993, he was part of a generation receiving experimental surgeries with uncertain outcomes. Today, at 31, he works as an academic advisor, pursues a master's degree, and serves as a powerful advocate for the adult congenital heart defect community."I've been told by people that just by looking at me, they wouldn't know that I had a heart defect," Tyler shares during our conversation. This invisibility is both a blessing and a challenge for the growing population of adult CHD survivors who must navigate a healthcare system still learning how to treat them.Tyler's involvement with Single Ventricle One (SV1) - the recently unified organization combining pre-Fontan and post-Fontan networks - puts him at the forefront of efforts to improve care for adults with complex heart conditions. "I think my role is making sure the other planners are thinking of how the adults can be served as well," he explains, describing how medical conferences historically focused primarily on pediatric care.Our conversation delves into deeply personal territory as Tyler recounts his experience with vocal cord paralysis following surgery and the profound moment when his grandfather, after suffering a stroke, heard Tyler speak with a full voice for the first time shortly before passing away. We also discuss his recent transplant evaluation, where doctors delivered some surprising news.For anyone living with CHD or caring for someone with a heart defect, Tyler's story offers both practical guidance and emotional resonance. From balancing health concerns with career ambitions, to finding community with others who share similar experiences, he demonstrates how adults with congenital heart conditions can thrive while helping shape a medical field still discovering what lifelong care looks like for this first generation of survivors.Connect with the SV1 community through their upcoming patient day in Indianapolis this October - whether you're a patient seeking connection, a parent looking toward your child's future, or a medical professional committed to advancing care standards for this unique population.Helpful Links mentioned during this episode:Boston Children's Hospital Single Ventricle Family Day at the New England Aquarium: https://ow.ly/omax50WAN8AKristi Pena's episode about Barth Syndrome: https://www.buzzsprout.com/62761/episodes/398916Link to register for SV-One Fall 2025: https://www.svone.org/events/fall-The BriefAll your family's pressing concerns and questions, answered in one place.

Instead of seeing haters as attackers, I see them as people I may be able to minister to.”

Send us a textWhat happens when a tiny heart warrior inspires a movement of love and advocacy? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Haley Graham, whose daughter Emberly Dawn was born with multiple heart defects, including a rare Taussig-Bing anomaly. Haley takes us through the emotional journey from that first concerning ultrasound to the founding of Embers of Love, a nonprofit that's changing lives across Manitoba.Haley shares the raw truth of those early days—the quiet car ride home after receiving concerning news at her 41-week ultrasound, being flown from Winnipeg to Edmonton for emergency treatment just days after Emberly's birth, and the month spent in a hotel across from the children's hospital. Her story captures both the inherent isolation of receiving a CHD diagnosis and the profound community support that emerged to sustain them.The name "Embers of Love" came from a touching observation made during Emberly's hospital stay—that this tiny baby somehow "spreads embers of love to everyone she meets." What began with handmade keychains and candles has blossomed into a significant advocacy organization that's participated in over 35 initiatives since 2023. From donating sound machines to the NICU to organizing craft kits for Heart Camp campers, Haley shows how personal experience can transform into meaningful community action.Most moving is Haley's reflection on how Amberlee has become "the flame to our family fire," completely shifting their perspective on what matters in life. Her story reminds us that even in our most vulnerable moments, we can find purpose, create lasting change, and spread those precious embers of love to others walking similar paths.Ready to get involved in supporting the CHD community?

Send us a textWhat happens when your child needs heart surgery, but the operation keeps getting postponed? How do you navigate a complex healthcare system while still supporting other families going through similar struggles? Candice Swartland takes us deep into this reality from Cape Town, South Africa.Candice's journey began when her son Riley was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot shortly after birth—despite monthly ultrasounds during pregnancy that detected nothing wrong. Through three open-heart surgeries and the constant waiting for a fourth, Candice discovered strength she never knew she had. "Despite whatever you are going through," she shares, "you and your family and your kid with heart disease, you are still there for the next heart parent."The striking differences between CHD care in South Africa versus more developed nations become clear as Candice describes the waiting game for surgeries, where emergency cases repeatedly push Riley's procedure further down the list. Yet amidst these challenges, something beautiful emerges: a global community of heart families connected by shared experiences that transcend borders.Perhaps most inspiring is how Riley defied medical expectations. Doctors predicted he would never attend a normal school, yet today he's a top student in his class. Even more remarkable, both Riley and another heart warrior have become advocates themselves, running awareness programs at their school.This conversation reveals the universal truths of the CHD journey: the fear, the faith that sustains us, and the power of community. As Candice powerfully states, "Your child is my child. Together, we are one." Her words remind us that whether in South Africa or anywhere else in the world, heart families share a profound connection that makes us stronger together.Links discussed in the episode:The Cure Gala: https://www.buildingthecure.org/eventsBrave Little Hearts South Africa: https://www.facebook.com/BraveLittleHeartsSAWholesome TV Picks: Stop Wasting Time, Start Watching Shows You TrustFamily-friendly TV & movie recs from a parent, not a critic. 10-min episodes every Wed.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

Send us a textMonique Kemp's world turned upside down when her unborn son was diagnosed with an interrupted aortic arch at seven months of pregnancy. What followed was a harrowing journey through six open-heart surgeries, months of hospitalization, and the birth of something unexpected – a powerful vision for supporting other families facing similar challenges.From those early days sitting beside her newborn's hospital bed to founding Heart of Hope-Cape Town, Monique shares with raw honesty how she transformed her personal pain into purpose. Her support group, now running for 12 years, fills a critical gap she identified during those long hospital stays – medical staff trained to heal bodies, not necessarily to hold space for parents' emotional trauma.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Monique reveals how her maternal instinct potentially saved her son's life. As Daniel entered his teen years, his complaints of pain were repeatedly dismissed as psychological by doctors who had known him since infancy. Only after switching to a new pediatrician did they discover his heart conduit had grown down into his stomach, displacing organs and causing genuine physical distress. This experience highlights a dangerous blind spot in CHD care–the critical transition period between ages 10-21 when patients are most likely to fall through the cracks.Perhaps most eye-opening is Monique's perspective on global CHD care disparities, comparing attitudes toward heart interventions between North and South India, and advocating passionately for what the CHD community needs most: to become "one voice" as prominent as the condition itself, which remains the number one birth defect worldwide.Whether you're a heart parent seeking community, a medical professional wanting deeper insight into patient experiences, or simply someone interested in how personal tragedy can transform into powerful advocacy, this conversation will leave you understanding why the CHD journey requires both medical expertise and emotional support that only other heart families can truly provide.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Top 20 Congenital Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/congenital_disorders_podcastsBaby Hearts Press: https://www.babyheartspress.comSupport the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

This week we delve into the world of exercise physiology when we review a recent paper by Dr. Adam Powell of Cincinnati Children's Hospital on the relationship of hand grip strenth to other measures of cardiovascular and skeletal muscular health and fitness. How does hand grip strength correlate with CPET measures of exercise abilities in children? How might this inexpensive test help identify patients who might benefit from exercise therapy? Will hand grip strength one day be as ubiquitous as blood pressure in the evaluation of our CHD patients? Dr. Powell shares the answers this week.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpedcp.2025.200144

This week we review a recent work from the team at Seattle Children's Hospital about obstetrical sonography and referral of fetuses with 'suboptimal imaging' for fetal echocardiography. Should all 'suboptimal imaging' cases be referred? How can fetal cardiologists parse out who needs a fetal cardiac scan and when? How does the fetal team in Seattle practically serve a geographic region exceeding 2,000 miles and properly triage the referrals, particularly when 'suboptimal imaging' is the rationale for referral? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Washington, Dr. Bhawna Arya provides deep insights into her recent work on how to think about fetuses referred for 'suboptimal imaging' as a rationale for fetal consultation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00246-024-03495-9

In a bombshell interview, the parents of the unvaccinated 6-year-old Texas child who reportedly died from measles told CHD that her measles were mostly gone before she entered the ICU – but the child was intubated with a ventilator, and died soon after. Doctors who reviewed her medical records say the child developed pneumonia in her lung. Steve Kirsch alleges she actually “died from medical malpractice: wrong antibiotic prescribed for pneumonia” while others like Prof. Jeffrey S Morris (a Professor of Public Health & Preventive Medicine) say “Measles caused the pneumonia that killed her… That's the most common mechanism by which measles kills”. 「 MEDICAL NOTE 」 The CDC states that the MMR vaccine is safe and effective.

Jackie Schimmel joins Call Her Daddy and she has a lot to say. After roasting the CHD studio, Jackie reflects on her personal evolution and how she went from a gingivitis-having, headgear-wearing preteen to the beautiful Bitch Bible creator she is today. Jackie is so recklessly confident that she faked a diploma from UCLA in order to get a job - and it worked. We've all encountered a high school or college mean girl, but how do we handle mean girls in adulthood? Alex and Jackie discuss their experiences with mean women and give advice on how to respond with humor. Jackie opens up about the loss of her mom. She shares how she handles grief and advises exactly what NOT to say to someone who is dealing with loss. Jackie comes in hot this episode to defend the ankle boot, praise super-ultra tampons and compare her local Home Depot to the Victoria's Secret runway.
