Are You Really Neurodivergent — or Just Relating to the Traits? In this mind-opening episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mayim and Jonathan dive deep into the fascinating, complicated, and sometimes confusing world of neurodivergence — from self-diagnosis pitfalls to the superpowers hiding inside neurodivergent brains. Discover what's actually happening physically in neurodivergent brains, and explore the wide range of traits and disorders that fall under the neurodivergent umbrella — from ADHD, autism, and dyslexia to sensory sensitivities and beyond. Mayim and Jonathan unpack the potential superpowers that come with neurodivergence, including empathy, intuition, creativity, pattern recognition, and even enhanced extrasensory perception. Are neurodivergent minds wired for deeper insight? Why has neurodivergence become such a massive topic on social media? Is there really a rise in neurodivergent diagnoses, or just a rise in awareness? We're exploring the difference between validation and pathologizing, the challenges of navigating such a broad spectrum, and the surprising benefits of having a label. They also break down the exhausting nature of masking, share practical tips to combat social anxiety, and explore how to best support neurodivergent young minds in a world built for neurotypicals. From overlapping symptoms to proper diagnosis, treatment options, and environments best suited to manage sensory overwhelm, this episode is packed with insight, empathy, and real-world strategies. PLUS...Mayim and Jonathan take a neurodivergence self-assessment live, Mayim shares her personal coping tips for living with neurodivergence, and Jonathan opens up about how he manages his dyslexia with creativity and humor.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you to: Owner and founder of Koinonia Counseling Center, Licensed Professional Counselor, ISSTD member, survivor advocate, support, and helper, content creator, educator., proud wife and loving mother, documentary and true crime lover, and a woman single-handedly changing how the world sees and understands Dissociative Identity Disorder: Sara Rice M.A., LPC-SSara is a beacon of compassion and unyielding dedication, a mental health warrior whose entire existence is devoted to empowering RAMCOA survivors and igniting profound healing amid life's darkest storms. As a certified supervisor for licensed professional counselors and the steadfast wife of an Army veteran for over a decade, she draws from an infinite reservoir of empathy and unbreakable resilience. A Mother to five radiant souls, she masterfully orchestrates a vibrant family symphony while pouring her heart into her clients and her insatiable quest for wisdom.With a master's degree in counseling from Liberty University and a doctorate in traumatology on the horizon, Sara embodies relentless pursuit of mastery in trauma and mental health. Her trauma-informed sanctuary isn't just a practice - it's a sacred haven of hope, guiding those who've endured the unimaginable toward light and rebirth. Her gift for connection? A profound grasp of mental health's intricate tapestry, fused with genuine, soul-deep care for every unique journey. This isn't mere work—it's a divine calling to elevate, empower, and resurrect.Her mastery of DID's complexities, her boundless compassion for the RAMCOA community, and her courageous defiance in voicing truths most professionals flee make her a true hero—a luminary we must rally behind, learn from, and celebrate.The first time Sara was on, we discussed Sara's story and how she got into working with RAMCOA survivors as well as her advocacy work, and we also discussed dissociation, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and some of the nuances of therapy and working with dissociation in a therapeutic setting. Sara's knowledge and passion are so refreshing and paramount in a time when dissociative disorders are still considered rare and where little to education on extreme trauma and dissociation is taught in traditional academia. Sara didn't stop learning after her degree was earned - she was just getting started. And now she is paving the way for dissociation and DID to be heard and learned about outside the classroom, and through her work, she is helping to pioneer treatment and healing for survivors who have been failed over and over again. Today we will be diving deeper into and expanding on this conversation with the hope of providing more tools and information for survivors, those who work professionally with survivors, and those who are supporting survivorsCONNECT WITH SARA: Website: https://www.kccpllc.com/#/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@koinoniacounselingcenter?lang=enYouTube: @KoinoniaCounselingCenter  CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Please note this episode of Type 1 on 1 contains honest discussion of severe depression at around 1'08", including suicidal thoughts. No matter how long you've been living with or close to type 1 diabetes, it remains an incredibly complex condition to understand. And while there's a wealth of information out there to dig into, knowing what to pay attention to can be just as daunting. John Pemberton is a diabetes technology consultant, children's dietician, researcher and has been living with type 1 diabetes himself for around 20 years. So if you're looking for research-backed information about the right insulin pump, want to know why 20 minutes of walking is the magic key to a stubborn high glucose reading, or you just need to start with the basics without getting overwhelmed, his diabetes education platform The Glucose Never Lies could be the answer. It was created after his young son Jude tested positive for diabetes antibodies, and when it comes to distilling complicated diabetes information and making it make sense, John is a master of the craft.In this episode we cover an incredible amount - from the professional, including his work with newly diagnosed families, the latest in diabetes research and his love of continuous glucose monitoring, to the deeply personal, including how years of undiagnosed ADHD led to severe depression and suicidal thoughts. After getting the right treatment in July 2025, John has found renewed purpose in taking The Glucose Never Lies to the next level.CONNECT WITH JOHNThe Glucose Never Lies Website The Glucose Never Lies Podcast on Spotify Diabetes Specialist Nurse Forum CGM comparison chart.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY:Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.SPONSOR MESSAGEThis episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

What if the real issue isn't that you're broken, but that you've been convinced you are? In this conversation, psychiatrist and “Undoctor” Dr. Fred Moss challenges everything we've been taught about mental health. After nearly 40 years working in hospitals, prisons, clinics, and community settings, Fred came to a bold conclusion: most people don't need more labels or more medication — they need to be heard, seen, and connected.Fred shares why so many of us cling to diagnoses, how psychiatric labels quietly become identities, and why medications often create the same symptoms they claim to treat. He explains the exhaustion of pretending to be someone else just to fit in, how school systems train us to silence our authentic selves, and why creativity is one of the most powerful healing tools we have. From anxiety and depression to social media overload and the myth of “normal,” this episode dives deep into what it really means to be human in a chaotic world.We also explore Fred's Undoctor Reset community, his work at DrFred360.com, and the idea that connection is the most potent medicine ever discovered. If you've ever questioned the stories you've been told about mental health — or the ones you've told yourself — this conversation may shift the way you see your life, your struggles, and your potential.Send us a textJoin us in spreading holiday cheer and making a child's Christmas magical!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Antonio Bianco is a world-renowned physician-scientist and expert in thyroid physiology and metabolism. In this episode, Antonio explores the complex biology of thyroid hormone production, conversion, and regulation—highlighting how deiodinase enzymes modulate hormone activity at the tissue level and why that matters for interpreting lab results. He discusses the shortcomings of relying solely on TSH as a marker of thyroid function, the ongoing debate around combination therapy with T3 and T4 versus standard T4 treatment, and how genetics, tissue sensitivity, and individual variability influence thyroid hormone metabolism. The conversation also examines how hypothyroidism affects energy, mood, cognition, and longevity; why some patients remain symptomatic despite "normal" labs; and how future research could reshape treatment paradigms. We discuss: How the thyroid produces, stores, and activates hormones like T4 and T3 to finely regulate thyroid activity [2:45]; How fasting alters thyroid hormones to conserve energy [12:45]; Action of the deiodinases: how D1, D2, and D3 enzymes control the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormones [19:15]; The normal function of thyroid hormone and the roles of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and deiodinases in maintaining hormonal balance [23:30]; Why understanding thyroid physiology is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism [33:45]; Testing for thyroid hormones: understanding free vs. total levels, the limitations of current T3 assays, best practices, and more [36:00]; Genetic and sex-based variability in thyroid hormone regulation and their limited clinical significance [43:45]; Hyperthyroidism: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options [46:00]; Hypothyroidism: diagnosis and autoimmune causes of hypothyroidism [56:30]; More on hypothyroidism: diagnostic biomarkers, antibody patterns, and non-autoimmune presentations [1:05:00]; Thyroid hormone replacement therapy [1:15:15]; More on thyroid replacement strategies: exploring the evidence gaps, mortality signals, effects on lipids, and more [1:28:00]; Hypothyroidism basics: causes, antibody implications (including pregnancy), and how to make the diagnosis before choosing therapy [1:35:15]; Thyroid medication: compounded controlled-release T3, brand name versus generic, and what Antonio prescribes to newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients [1:42:45]; Redefining treatment success: why normalizing TSH isn't always enough for patients with hypothyroidism [1:54:45]; Case studies: analysis of two unusual cases of thyroid disease [1:57:00]; Dangers of supplementing with high levels of iodine, and female-specific risk of thyroid disease [2:05:45]; Case study of a patient who presents with elevated TSH but no symptoms [2:09:30]; How future research could reshape treatment, and Antonio's new book called "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" [2:13:15]; and More.

"It's critical to identify those mutations found that are driving the cancer's growth and guide the personalized treatment based on those results. And important to remember, too, early testing is crucial for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In studies, it has been found to be associated with improved survival outcomes and reduced mortality," ONS member Vicki Doctor, MS, BSN, BSW, RN, OCN®, precision medicine director at the City of Hope Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, and Phoenix, AZ, locations, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the oncology nurse's role in NSCLC biomarker testing.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode "These biomarkers are used to provide information about cancer's characteristics or behavior. In oncology precision medicine specifically, molecular tests can help with diagnosing a cancer that is maybe an unknown primary. It can help with monitoring response to therapy, detect recurrence of disease before other tests can find that, predict prognosis or how aggressive the cancer may be, and guide treatment decisions for targeted therapies." TS 3:14 "Some of the key biomarkers recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to be tested in patients who have NSCLC are EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF, MET exon 14 skipping mutation, HER2 which is a protein expression from an ErbB protein, PD-L1 which is a protein expression that's used to guide immunotherapy choices, and then finally there are three fusions: ROS1, RET, and NTRK. [These] are pretty rare but really important to be tested for in patients who have NSCLC." TS 3:46 "Another important challenge for nurses related to this topic is that these results may not reveal a targeted mutation for the patient and that could be very disappointing. So, being able to provide that emotional support to a patient if they have that result … you can actually reinforce with them that if [they] go onto another treatment that the physician decides to put [them] on, the tumor can change. New pathogenic variants can develop based on the treatment that they're getting, and another test can be done. And maybe at that time—a new biomarker that could be targeted—we'd be seeing on the new test." TS 7:32  "Another circumstance we didn't talk about yet is that maybe the result came back saying that the quality was not sufficient. And sometimes that happens, but that doesn't mean that we're at the end of the road, necessarily. So, you could explain to the patient that that may mean that possibly, a new biopsy would be ordered by the physician. Or if a new biopsy or another tissue sample is not available, then maybe the physician would pivot to sending a blood specimen for the molecular testing. So that would definitely be a way [nurses] could support their patients." TS 11:52 "In the case of patients with NSCLC, early testing is so important. So, advocating for that prompt biomarker testing to be done, making sure that it's comprehensive, that it's actually looking for all of those—I think it was 12 biomarkers—that I mentioned earlier. That this testing is done as soon as possible after diagnosis or progression. Something that I talk about all the time—personalized care, precision medicine—really matters. So, tailoring treatments for patients based on the biology of the tumor that's driving the cancer's growth is really crucial if you're going to be working as an oncology nurse. Another crucial thing, because it's changing so quickly, is to stay informed." TS 16:23

Have you been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome - but the iron pills or medications you've been given for it aren't giving you any relief? Do you struggle with chronic fatigue, and you've been told it's from restless leg syndrome, but nothing you try makes you feel more rested? If you've ever spent nights Googling “restless leg syndrome treatment” or “restless leg syndrome causes,” you know how frustrating RLS is. When I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome in middle school, I felt the same confusion and frustration about my RLS. I was told it was because I had low iron. I took the supplement, and it maybe helped a little...but I still felt exhausted throughout the day. It wasn't until I became a functional health practitioner that I figured out what was causing my restless leg syndrome - and how to treat restless leg syndrome for myself in a way that actually WORKED. Now - I've found COMPLETE restless leg syndrome relief (which my husband is so grateful for!). And today, I'm going to teach you how you can do the same. In today's episode, we're diving into the real root causes of Restless Leg Syndrome — the ones most doctors never mention. You'll learn how restless leg syndrome connects to your brain, iron levels, airway health, and even your gut health — and what steps you can take to finally find restless leg syndrome relief naturally. Restless leg syndrome isn't random, and you're not stuck with it for forever. It's time to teach you the root cause of restless leg syndrome so that your legs - and your sleep - can finally find some peace.

When Rylee Clark began to complain about troublesome headaches in 2020 when she was 12 years old, the original thought was that these were Migraines. That did not turn out to be the case however, as Rylee was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma, a fast growing cancerous brain tumor. Rylee's parents Michelle and Mike and her twin sister Reese will talk about this diagnosis, which led to the far too short life of their beloved daughter and sister.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a whirlwind of celebrity controversy and breaking news. The crew kicks things off with Zendaya reportedly refusing to appear alongside her Euphoria co-star Sydney Sweeney, following backlash over Sweeney’s controversial “Good Jeans / Good Genes” American Eagle ad, which many deemed racially insensitive. Zendaya, known for speaking out on issues of race and representation, has drawn praise for her quiet but firm stance against what fans call “tone-deaf branding.” The conversation turns serious as a neurologist challenges Wendy Williams’ dementia diagnosis, suggesting she may not suffer from frontotemporal dementia after all. The revelation could reshape the court battle over her guardianship, a case that’s drawn national attention to elder care and financial control in celebrity health crises. Finally, the team covers Donald Trump’s ongoing legal fight, as he petitions the courts to overturn his sexual abuse and defamation verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case—an appeal many critics say leans on the influence of judges he himself appointed.

Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist. Recognized as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, she is committed to utilizing diagnostically sound assessments to identify learning barriers and implementing research-based interventions to amend challenging behaviors effectively. Dr. Finister is an advocate of culturally competent practices and is dedicated to training future practitioners in the field. She received her foundational training in psychological pedagogy and assessments at Texas Woman's University, where she completed her Master's degree in 2010.

Summary / IntroIn this episode, Megan Wimberley sits down with Dr. Tara Fox, Assistant Clinical Professor and Clinical Director at Sacred Heart University, to unpack the complex relationship between anxiety and creativity.Together they explore how anxiety shows up for artists and art business owners, how to recognize when it becomes more than a passing feeling, and how to build tools that help rather than hinder your creative life.They discuss real experiences—from living with anxiety as an artist and business owner to understanding the science behind stress responses. They also share practical ways to find balance, self-compassion, and forward momentum in your art and daily life.Show NotesAnxiety touches so many artists- from racing thoughts in the studio, perfectionism disguised as productivity, or the moment you freeze before sharing a new piece of work. In this heartfelt conversation, Megan Wimberley sits down with Dr. Tara Fox, Assistant Clinical Professor and licensed professional counselor, to unpack the layers of anxiety and what it really means to live (and create) with it.Dr. Fox shares her personal journey with ADHD and anxiety, breaking down the difference between everyday worry and a diagnosable disorder. Together, Megan and Dr. Fox explore why getting a diagnosis isn't about labeling yourself—it's about understanding yourself, and learning how to find your own version of balance.They talk about how anxiety often hides behind ambition and overwork, especially for artists trying to build a career. From the outside, it can look like drive or discipline—but underneath might be fear, self-doubt, or a nervous system constantly on alert. Through laughter, honesty, and vulnerability, they shed light on how our brains trick us into thinking we're “just fine” when really we're running on fumes.You'll hear about the four anxiety responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how each can show up in an artist's life: sending that angry email after a rejection, abandoning a creative project out of fear, or over-committing to please everyone else. But you'll also hear how awareness and compassion can transform those same patterns into strength—how sensitivity can become intuition, and how anxiety can actually deepen your creativity when it's managed with care.If you've ever felt like your anxiety keeps you from showing up fully as an artist—or if you're simply curious about how creativity and mental health intertwine—this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that there's strength in understanding yourself deeply.Key TakeawaysAnxiety is normal—but when it consistently interferes with your work, relationships, or well-being, it deserves attention and care.Diagnosis brings information, not identity. It's a tool for understanding, not a label of limitation.Artists often live in the gray area between high sensitivity and high performance—learning to pause, breathe, and check in with your body is crucial.The body keeps the score. Chronic stress patterns can become automatic; awareness helps you break them.Anxiety can fuel creativity when managed well—enhancing empathy, intuition, and depth of perception.Healthy coping means returning to balance, not escaping.Self-compassion is non-negotiable. Your compassion is incomplete if you don't extend it to yourself.Help exists. Finding the right therapist or counselor is a sign of strength, not weakness.Resources & LinksReferenced in this episode:The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkThe Artist's Way by Julia CameronPsychology Today – Find a TherapistOpen Path Collective – Affordable Counseling DirectoryCowgirl Artists of America –...

Hey team! This week, I'm talking with Jamie Shapiro, ADHD coach, founder of Silver Linings Transitions, and host of the Grandma Has ADHD podcast. Jamie has also recently published her book This Explains So Much, which dives into the world of undiagnosed ADHD in people over 50. Jamie brings a wealth of experience from her work helping older adults downsize and organize their lives. In our conversation, we dig into what aging looks like with ADHD—from memory changes to social isolation—and how curiosity, compassion, and the power of community can make a huge difference. We get into the challenges of different stages of life, how ADHD can be mistaken for dementia, and what it means to build understanding across generations. I think this is definitely an episode for everyone, as no matter how you slice it, we're all going to be facing these issues someday, and because of the genetic nature of ADHD, you likely already have someone in your life dealing with these issues. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/256 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Many symptoms that get labeled as "senior moments" (forgetting names, losing track of appointments, or misplacing items) can actually be longstanding ADHD traits that are finally being noticed. Forgetfulness that comes from ADHD doesn't need memory-care protocols; instead, it needs ADHD strategies such as reminders, structure, external cues, and tools like smartwatches or calendars. As we age, we can risk drifting into isolation, and this can be especially true with ADHD. We already struggle with time blindness, motivation, and this can easily lead to dropping the ball on keeping up with friends and family. This means it's important that we're scheduling regular check-ins with friends and doing things like joining a hobby group. We can revisit our relationships and recognize that your parents (or kids) with ADHD were just trying to do their best; reframing these patterns can transform your relationship. Instead of replaying the same old fights, you start from a place of compassion. It's not about forgiving the past; it's about giving context and finding a way to move forward with the relationship.
