When a "small pimple" that was on 11 year old Brailynn Cumby's back that seemed to be a simple cyst turned into Ewing's Sarcoma in October of 2024, her parents Raquel and James, not to mention Brailynn, were shocked. Brailynn went through her treatment which ended on September 9th of 2025 when she was able to Ring The Bell at Texas Children's Hospital and while in treatment, Brailynn managed to write a book entitled PETALS OF HOPE and also managed to design a Chemo Shirt which hopefully will be put to good use by other pediatric cancer patients. 

In today's episode, we passed the mic to Kathryn S. Nevel, MD; and Michael Veronesi, MD, PhD, who led an OncLive Ask the Expert discussion on evolving imaging strategies in glioma.

It's Christmas, which means two things: Kristin's wearing a periodic-table tree shirt, and I'm reminiscing about the worst cafeteria meal in VA history (“brown meal,” may it never return). But the real adventure this week? Our kid suddenly developed mysterious brown patches on her skin, smooth, painless, and deeply unsettling for two parents whose medical degrees contain zero pediatrics. Cue the panic Googling, the advice nurse, and the pediatrician casually wiping it off with an alcohol pad like a magic trick. Then we dive headfirst into microbiology, where we rediscover that: Anaerobes “can't breathe fresh air,” Encapsulated bacteria are the gym bros of the microbe world, andnd urease-positive organisms somehow got saddled with the mnemonic P CHUNKS. Takeaways: Terra Firma-Forme Dermatosis: The completely benign, extremely weird skin condition that wipes right off with alcohol. Holiday Clinic Life: Why no one wants their eyes dilated on Christmas Eve (except maybe for the sparkly lights). Anaerobe Mayhem: “Can't breathe fresh air” and other microbiology mnemonics that should probably be illegal. Encapsulated Bacteria: The microscopic linebackers that even your spleen has strong opinions about. P CHUNKS: The urease-positive mnemonic you'll wish you could forget. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Based on a popular well known Christmas carol this episode reminds us about prescribing thoughtfully, recognising key red flags, and keeping often-missed diagnoses like bile acid diarrhoea, coeliac disease and liver disease on the radar. The episode also reinforces the importance of early-life microbiome influences and structured differential diagnosis for abdominal symptoms in primary care. Prescribing and de-prescribing • Taper PPIs rather than stopping abruptly to avoid rebound acid hypersecretion, driven by upregulated gastrin during PPI therapy. • Always link NSAID use and H. pylori status to ulcer risk, and remember: gastric ulcers typically cause pain with meals, duodenal ulcers 2–3 hours after eating. Diagnosis, tests and red flags • Use three coeliac test “groups”: serology (tTG/EMA, with total IgA checked), genetics (HLA‑DQ2/DQ8) and duodenal biopsies; ensure patients eat gluten for at least six weeks pre‑testing and to endoscopy. • Actively screen for GI red flags: dysphagia and weight loss (upper GI), PR bleeding and unexplained iron‑deficiency anaemia (lower GI), and escalate for urgent investigation. Practical tools and endoscopy indications • Use the Bristol Stool Chart (types 1–7) routinely in consultations to standardise conversations about stool form and avoid ambiguous “food analogies.” • Remember the three main indications for endoscopy: diagnostic (e.g. dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea), surveillance (Barrett's, polyp follow‑up) and therapeutic (RFA/EMR in Barrett's, polyp removal). Conditions to consider and not miss • Keep bile acid diarrhoea prominent in the differential for IBS‑D: up to ~40% of IBS‑D patients may have it, particularly with ileal disease/resection, Crohn's, or post‑cholecystectomy. • Maintain a broad GI bleeding differential beyond cancer (e.g. gastritis, peptic ulcer, Mallory–Weiss tear, haemorrhoids/fissures, liver disease/coagulopathy, IBD, angiodysplasia, diverticular disease). Liver disease, microbiome and early life • Remember major causes of liver failure in primary care: excess alcohol, paracetamol overdose, DILI, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, haemochromatosis, viral hepatitis B/C and progressive MASLD. • Support breastfeeding where possible to promote a healthy infant microbiome (HMOs favouring bifidobacteria) and recognise how birth mode and early microbes shape immune development and later allergy/immune risk. Structuring abdominal symptom assessment • For undifferentiated abdominal symptoms, consciously work through a core list: IBS, lactose intolerance, coeliac disease, gastroenteritis, SIBO, IBD, diverticular disease, colorectal cancer, peptic ulcer disease, gallstones/biliary colic, pancreatic insufficiency and medication‑related causes (e.g. metformin, NSAIDs, antibiotics). • Use these categories to guide targeted history, examination, basic tests and thresholds for referral back to gastroenterology or specialist services.

In this episode of the MaternalRX podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, Danielle sits down with Dr. Tadeh Vartanian, a Pharmacist and Medical Lead with deep expertise in autoimmune diabetes. Drawing on years of clinical practice and research, Dr. Vartanian explains why early detection and precise diabetes classification can dramatically shift outcomes for people who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or managing complex metabolic risks. This conversation delivers a practical, up-to-date overview of diabetes types, maternal risk considerations, screening strategies, and the emerging science behind autoimmune and genetic diabetes. And if you have never heard of monogenic diabetes, you will want to hear this episode! Understanding this category can immediately change how clinicians diagnose and treat patients. Diabetes types explained - How to differentiate type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and monogenic diabetes - Why type 1 is autoimmune and what loss of 80 to 90 percent of beta cells means for patient management - The phases of type 1 diabetes and the predictive power of autoantibodies - How monogenic diabetes presents differently and when to consider genetic testing - Which diabetes types can improve with targeted lifestyle interventions Diabetes screening and diagnostic testing - Why early screening is the most impactful action clinicians can take - When to use hemoglobin A1C, fasting glucose, and the oral glucose tolerance test - A clear explanation of the 50-gram and 100-gram Glucola tests used in gestational diabetes screening and diagnosis - How to identify autoimmune diabetes using autoantibody testing Autoantibody screening programs - TrialNet: the NIDDK-supported program offering at-home screening for people with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes - ASK (Autoimmunity Screening for Kids): now expanded to adults, with nationwide access through the University of Colorado laboratory - How these programs detect autoimmune diabetes before symptoms develop Genetics, autoimmunity, and diabetes research - How new genetic testing is reshaping the identification of monogenic diabetes - What autoimmune activity means in type 1 diabetes and why early detection matters - Current research, evolving guidelines, and clinical trial insights relevant to maternal health and diabetes care Diabetes and pregnancy - How diabetes influences pregnancy outcomes and why classification accuracy is critical - The long-term significance of gestational diabetes and its link to future type 2 diabetes - Clinical considerations for preconception counseling, prenatal care, and postpartum metabolic health - How maternal diabetes affects the long-term health trajectory of both parent and child Key takeaway from Dr. Vartanian: Screen early and use the right tools. Identifying diabetes risk before symptoms appear can change the course of care at every stage of pregnancy.

Sarah asks: "Is it possible for a clinical diagnosis of chorioamnionitis to not be confirmed by placental histology? And if so, how is that possible?" This is a fantastic question that touches on the complexities of intrapartum clinical diagnosis of intraamniotic infection (IAI), also commonly known as chorioamnionitis. We'll explore the nuances of clinical versus histological findings, the diagnostic criteria, and why these two assessments don't always perfectly align. Get ready for a detailed discussion that will shed light on this important aspect of obstetric care.1. ACOG CO 712; 2017 (2025)2. Romero R, Pacora P, Kusanovic JP, et al.

We've come a long way in understanding how neurodivergence expresses itself in kids, compared to when I became a new mom. But even now, an Autism diagnosis can feel like some of the most dreaded words imaginable to a parent.Can you fathom what it was like for parents in the 1980s?Leland Vittert can. And even though his parents chose not to share his diagnosis with him until his early 20's, he now knows the whole story of what they went through for him.Leland is a successful journalist with his own nightly news show. But when he was a kid, Leland struggled to relate to his classmates. He was bullied by other kids, and at times, by teachers as well. After Leland was diagnosed with Autism, (now considered level 1, formerly known as Aspergers), his father made it his mission to help Leland learn the skills he'd need to function in a world that would not understand or mold to his differences.Leland tells the whole inspiring story in his new book Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. He's here to share his gratitude to his dad, and offer hope to parents who are anxious about how to best support their neurodivergent kids.Something clicked while listening?We'd love to talk with you if you want to dig deeper into your family's specific situation. If you're ready to stop guessing and start knowing what works, it might be worth a conversation. https://mastermindparenting.com/live-assessment/Get all the links, resources, and transcripts here: https://mastermindparenting.com/podcast-334About Randi RubensteinRandi Rubenstein coaches parents raising strong-willed kids.

Angela also shares the process of writing her book and the healing that came with telling her story.

Points of Interest00:02 – 01:49 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes Kristen back to the show and sets up another practical client case study focused on a real agency engagement.01:50 – 04:00 – The flex-labor, video production agency profile: Kristen outlines the agency's model: a small FTE core, 10–20 contractors, just under $2M in revenue, and constant cash flow stress tied to contractor payments.04:01 – 06:21 – Why video production and events are so punishing for cash flow: Marcel explains how big production days and lumpy project work make earned revenue, contractor management, and cash flow especially tricky for this type of agency.05:05 – 07:16 – Growth, service-line complexity, and early unprofitability signals: Kristen describes how larger clients, new service lines with tight price ceilings, shifting deadlines, and creeping unprofitability pushed the founders to hit pause and seek help.06:22 – 07:25 – Becoming “exit curious” changes the stakes: Marcel notes that the owners had started thinking about selling, and viewing the business through an enterprise value lens made their efficiency and profitability issues feel more urgent.07:26 – 11:05 – Spreadsheets, PM tools, and the stalled silver-bullet implementation: Kristen walks through the spreadsheets they built, the expensive all-in-one PM platform they bought, and how personnel changes left the implementation half-done and overwhelming.09:06 – 13:58 – Why PM tools fail without a profitability framework: Marcel unpacks the gap between the tool's promises and reality, highlighting how unclear definitions of cost rates, pass-through expenses, margins, and scope make it impossible to configure a PM system effectively.14:52 – 18:52 – The client's original thesis vs. the real problem: Kristen shares that the client blamed headcount, tools, and “project management issues,” while Marcel points out their weak time-tracking culture and the failure to treat producers as true delivery costs.19:05 – 22:12 – Diagnosis: a business model and unit economics problem: Kristen explains how reviewing the cash-basis P&L, time data, spreadsheets, and contracts revealed that the core issue was delivery margin and pricing, not execution quality or PM discipline.24:52 – 27:42 – Fixing the data: contractor classification and cash-basis adjustments: Kristen describes using Parakeeto's decision tree to classify contractors as delivery expenses, annualizing their cost and hours, and reverse-engineering hours from invoices, while Marcel adds tips for reducing noise in cash-based books.28:18 – 35:57 – Rebuilding the model: estimator tool, 70% margin, and hire-vs-contractor math: Kristen shows how the estimator tool exposed project-level unit economics and ABR targets, then explains how they improved time tracking, pricing strategy, contracts, and PM tool setup, plus modeled when it actually made sense to hire FTEs instead of using contractors.36:43 – 39:01 – Key lessons and reassurance for nuanced agency models: Kristen closes by emphasizing that every agency has quirks, but a clear framework can still make it profitable, while Marcel underscores the value of external support in untangling model vs. execution problems.Show NotesAgency Fee CalculatorLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

Beyond Pain to Purpose: Pastor Mike Walter on Ankylosing Spondylitis and Building PPIKids | Conversations with a Chiropractor In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with local Marquette pastor Mike Walter for a conversation that moves from the most personal kind of struggle to the most practical kind of impact. Pastor Mike opens up about being diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis early in life, what it's like to carry an "incurable" label into adulthood, and the daily choices that became non-negotiable as he worked to stay functional, present, and hopeful. He also talks candidly about faith when the pain does not go away, the difference between knowing the right answers and actually living them, and how internal battles can show up even in people who look steady from the outside. Then the conversation widens. Pastor Mike shares the story behind Prodigal Preacher International, including the moments and relationships that pulled him toward refugee support, safety for girls, school sponsorship, and hunger prevention work in East Africa. You'll hear what small donations actually do, why recurring giving matters, and how transparent, consistent support can turn into real protection and education for kids who need it most. If you've ever wondered how someone keeps going with chronic pain, or how to make generosity feel real instead of abstract, this one lands.

Before his Alzheimer's diagnosis, Greg Nelson spent his career as a leadership developer helping others grow. About a year and a half ago, his wife Shasta began to notice changes in his memory and urged him to get evaluated. They went to UC Davis's  Healthy Aging Clinic, where cognitive testing suggested mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A neurologist later ordered a PET scan and by mid-February, Greg had an official Alzheimer's diagnosis.For Greg, who didn't want to retire and loved his work, this set off a shift in identity. Part of adjusting has meant finding a new voice. He now writes candidly about his experience living with Alzheimer's — keeping a blog and sharing posts for his kids, his community, and for others going through similar challenges. Greg says that writing about his experience and connecting with others online has been a game changer, helping him find community and purpose after his diagnosis.In this conversation with Being Patient's Mark Niu, the couple breaks down early signs, from trouble with tracking TV plots to feeling overwhelmed by multi-step instructions. They also share what the diagnostic process can really look like: months-long waits, hours of neuropsychological testing and the importance of establishing a clear baseline. They explain why they chose to be public about Greg's diagnosis — writing blog posts and having candid public conversations to reduce shame, invite support, and help others feel less alone as they navigate Alzheimer's in real time.If you loved listening to this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter:   / being_patient_  Instagram:   / beingpatientvoices  Facebook:   / beingpatientalzheimers  LinkedIn:   / being-patient  Being Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

From a deeply personal history of sexual assault to the ongoing fight for care and dignity as someone living with disability, Lyndsay doesn't hold anything back.She shares what it's been like returning to ketamine therapy, the exhaustion of chasing diagnoses, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when healing feels impossibly far away. But this episode isn't just about her, it's about all of us. The ones who are still hurting. The ones in therapy. The ones who are tired. The ones who show up anyway.Season 3 ends not with a neat conclusion, but with a clear message: we must start where we are. We must continue to have the uncomfortable conversations. And we don't have to do it alone.Tune in to the finale if you need a reminder that your story matters, your pain is valid, and there is real strength in showing up exactly as you are.Find The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to the Pain Game Podcast(01:25) Lyndsay's Personal Journey with Trauma(09:35) The Frustration of Diagnosis(13:46) Advocacy and Healthcare for the Disabled(15:04) Starting Where You're At(18:40) The Importance of Mind, Body, and Spirit(21:47) Childhood Trauma and Its Effects(24:26) Resilience and Gratitude(28:46) Confronting Suicide Ideation(32:00) Closing Thoughts and Future DirectionsSubscribe on YouTube | Merch is Coming (Finally) | This Is More Than a PodcastUnfiltered convos.

When Jennifer was asked how she felt getting her cancer diagnosis, her first word was not "scared," it was "shame." If you have ever felt like your emotions are too much, or you started processing feelings only to end up in pain, fatigue, or shutdown, this second part of our emotional expression series is for you. In part two of this essential two-part series on emotional health and post-traumatic growth, Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined again by Applied Neurology Expert and NSI Educator, Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro. Building on Part 1's conversation about anger, they explore how grief, shame, and positive emotions show up in the nervous system. You will hear real client stories where simple drills or balance work brought repressed emotions to the surface, why grief can feel like "phantom limb pain" for the brain, and how shame is intertwined with freeze responses and the inner critic. The trio shares minimum-effective-dose practices for grief, anger, and even joy, so emotional expression becomes regulating instead of destabilizing and opens the door to genuine post-traumatic growth. Timestamps: 00:00 — Diagnosis, shame and "too much" emotion 06:40 — When drills and bodywork unexpectedly unleash rage or tears 16:20 — Emotional expression that leads to pain, migraines or shutdown 24:45 — Grief as "phantom limb pain" and how loss impacts the body 35:10 — Chronic pain, bracing patterns and emotional repression 44:30 — Shame, freeze and the inner critic's "always and forever" story 58:00 — Minimum-effective-dose grief work and nature as co-regulator 1:09:30 — Making joy, pleasure and intimacy safe for the nervous system 1:19:30 — Daily neurosomatic practice, post-traumatic growth and closing reflections Key Takeaways: Emotional expression can bring on protective outputs like pain, fatigue, inflammation or shutdown when the body does not yet feel safe. Grief often functions like phantom limb pain: the brain must remap after a loss, which can show up in mood, immunity and body sensations. Shame and freeze are tightly linked; the inner critic's absolute "I am / I'll never" language reflects threat perception, not truth. Minimum-effective-dose practices for anger and grief, wrapped in front- and back-end regulation tools, help the nervous system learn that expression is safe. Positive emotions such as joy, pleasure and intimacy can also feel threatening and benefit from being approached in small, titrated doses that build capacity.

In this episode, Stephen Martin explores the complexities of getting diagnosed with dyslexia as an adult. He discusses the rising awareness and diagnosis rates, the varied assessment processes across different countries, and the profound impact a diagnosis can have on self-identity and understanding one's strengths. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and finding support systems, while also addressing the challenges that come with a diagnosis.TakeawaysMany adults discover their dyslexia after their children are diagnosed.Diagnosis rates are increasing due to greater awareness.The assessment process varies significantly by country.A diagnosis can provide clarity and a manual for your brain.Self-awareness gained from diagnosis can reduce self-sabotage.Dyslexia is not just about reading and writing; it involves processing and emotional regulation.Understanding dyslexia can help in finding effective tools and strategies.A diagnosis does not magically fix life challenges.Community support is crucial for those with dyslexia.A diagnosis is a starting point for understanding oneself better.Dyslexia, adult diagnosis, assessment process, self-awareness, neurodiversity, emotional regulation, learning differences, support systems, understanding dyslexia, adult learning, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderaddednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.comJoin our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin addresses what she calls "one of the most misunderstood topics in our field" : tongue tie diagnosis. She challenges the common clinical practice of relying on visual assessment—hearing clinicians say, "it looks tied" or "it's a mild tie"—and emphatically states that function is what determines a diagnosis, not appearance.Hallie introduces a 4-step framework for making confident, clinically sound decisions : Function, Form, Impact, Decision. She emphasizes that the appearance-based mindset often leads to both over- and under-diagnosis of ties, and that true diagnosis requires observing the tongue's mobility, coordination, and control within the entire system.Hallie also stresses the importance of addressing compensatory movements, which she believes mask true movement and should not be taught as a form of "survival mode". For optimal outcomes, treatment must focus on function and consider the whole connected system—airway, jaw, spine, and nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️Function is the key determinant of a tongue tie diagnosis, not the visual appearance of the tissue✔️ The risk of the "appearance-based mindset" leading to over- and under-diagnosis✔️ A four-step clinical reasoning framework for assessment: Function to Form to Impact to Decision✔️ Why a short or tight-looking frenulum may not restrict movement, while a hidden posterior tie can create major functional restriction✔️ Compensatory strategies often mask the need for a release and take more energy, leading to a "survival mode"✔️ Diagnosis requires a functional limitation PLUS a meaningful impact on the person's life (e.g., feeding, speech, sleep quality)✔️ Why functional readiness must be assessed to determine if and when the body is ready for a lingual release.✔️ The release is not a "magical instant fix"; therapy before and after is crucial for neuromuscular reeducation and success.✔️ Treatment must consider the whole connected system (airway, jaw, cervical spine, nervous system), not just the tongue in isolation.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 347: Airway First: The Pediatric Dentist's Essential Role in Treating Tongue Ties and Growth IssuesEP 348: Tongue Ties, Sleep Apnea & More: The Patient-Centered Approach to Airway DentistryOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

In this episode of The FASD Success Show, Jeff Noble sits down with Sophie Harrington, CEO of NOFASD Australia, to talk about what happens when caregivers stop chasing perfection and start building holidays  and lives that actually fit their families' nervous systems.Sophie is a mom, advocate, and birth parent who's turned her personal story into national leadership. Together, Jeff and Sophie dig into the power of reframing guilt, setting boundaries, and parenting differently without apology.They unpack how shame and expectations weigh on caregivers, and how understanding the brain  not just behavior  can lift that load for good.In This Episode You'll LearnWhy the holidays feel so emotionally heavy — and how neuroscience explains itWhat happens in the brain when guilt turns chronic and how to stop the cycleThe difference between connection and performance in caregivingWhy “doing less” is not giving up — it's giving your brain a chance to recoverHow Sophie's journey from birth mom to CEO became a model of what advocacy can really look likeWhy It MattersCaregivers often measure success by what they do, not how they feel — but the brain science says the opposite. A regulated caregiver leads to a regulated child. When we stop apologizing for doing things differently, we stop surviving the holidays and start shaping them to work for us.Watch or Listen to the Full EpisodeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEko0ghA4iw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-fasd-success-show/id1492499195 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ntB51glqYnRPmXCh6lOGq?si=f006bfa2966d4972Resources and LinksJoin our Free Caregiver Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FASDFOREVER Follow Jeff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/FASDSuccess Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FASDSUCCESS Full Show Notes and Resources: https://www.fasdsuccess.com/podcastSupport the show
