When a child struggles with feeding, it's easy to get laser-focused on oral-motor exercises or sensory strategies. But what if the root cause isn't a lack of coordination, but a struggle to breathe?In this solo episode, Hallie Bulkin dives deep into a critical, yet frequently missed, component of pediatric feeding therapy: airway screening. Airway issues often hide in plain sight, quietly undermining feeding progress and leaving clinicians wondering why their traditional treatment plans have stalled.Hallie breaks down the undeniable connection between airway health, posture, and feeding mechanics. She highlights the specific signs of airway obstruction every therapist should look out for, outlines clear referral pathways, and explains why screening the airway is fully within your scope of practice. If you want to elevate your clinical outcomes and treat the whole child with true clarity and intention, this episode is a must-listen.Key Topics & TakeawaysAirway in Scope: Why airway screening is not a luxury or a sub-specialty—it is a foundational part of your clinical scope as a feeding therapist.Signs of Airway Obstruction: Recognizing the red flags of compromised breathing, from subtle mouth breathing and poor daytime posture to severe nighttime sleep disturbances.Feeding Mechanics & Tongue Position: How an unsupported airway forces compensatory tongue resting positions, instantly disrupting the mechanics required for safe and efficient chewing and swallowing.The Posture Connection: Why children with airway issues alter their head and neck alignment just to breathe, and how this compromised posture stalls feeding progress.Navigating the Referral Pathway: Knowing exactly when to step back and coordinate care with an ENT or airway-focused specialist before proceeding with direct feeding intervention.Soundbites"Airway screening is not outside your lane - it is a vital part of your scope as a feeding therapist.""If a child is struggling to breathe, their nervous system will always prioritize oxygen over eating. Tongue position impacts feeding mechanics, but airway dictates tongue position.""We cannot out-therapy an airway obstruction. Sleep disturbances and daytime breathing struggles will always affect feeding outcomes."Timestamps01:15 Why Airway Screening Matters03:00 The Biggest Mistake Feeding Therapists Make06:01 Why Airway Is Often Missed in Training09:00 What Airway Dysfunction Looks Like12:00 The Medical System's Blind Spot15:02 Airway Screening: What to Look For18:00 Real-World Case Results & Outcomes21:00 How to Start Screening for Airway Issues24:00 Final Thoughts & Resources Download the Packet here: https://www.feedthepeds.com/f-a-s-t-myo-screening-packet-3WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYEpisode 371: When You Screen a Child and Think 'Now What?'Episode 369: The 4 Layers of Feeding: How to Finally Know Where to StartSTAY CONNECTED & GROW YOUR PRACTICEJoin the conversation: Get behind-the-scenes insights, clinical pearls, and real conversations over on Substack.

What if the two most prescribed drug classes in America are the exact reason your body can't heal? That's not a fringe theory but an observable pattern in many people's lives. We were taught to trust the system. But when that system profits from managing your symptoms rather than addressing the cause, you have to start asking harder questions. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Reese to explore how statins and proton pump inhibitors block your body's ability to repair itself, and how the cholesterol threshold has been manipulated, presumably to sell more drugs. We also talk about why he thinks 85–90% of surgeries, tests, and treatments are simply unnecessary. Dr. Reese also shares why your pelvis is the missing link in whole-body health, and how tinnitus and vertigo are being reversed remotely through postural alignment therapy. If you've been told to manage your condition for life or you're watching a loved one spiral deeper into the medical system, this conversation is for you. "Statin drugs and proton pump inhibitors bring down the two things you need for healing: cholesterol and stomach acid." ~ Dr. Kevin Reese In This Episode: - Medical monopoly, defensive medicine, and symptom management - The top two toxic drugs that inhibit healing - Cholesterol's role in brain health and longevity - White coat programming and the problem of nutrition deficiency - Four foods you should remove for wellness - Limitations of lab blood tests and imaging - Posture and musculoskeletal alignment - Symptoms are the body's warning lights - The message in the Medical Monopoly book - Head To Toe Healing membership program Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. Kevin Reese's Book, Medical Monopoly: The Evil Empire You've Been Tricked to Trust: https://a.co/d/0gebZ7ui Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Dr. Kevin Reese: Dr. Kevin Reese is the creator of Head-To-Toe Healing, a holistic wellness system inspiring millions to live pain- and drug-free.

Welcome to MENO — your go-to for perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between. In this episode, we sit down with Anushay Hossain, a feminist policy analyst and Capitol Hill lobbyist who nearly died during childbirth in a top-tier D.C. hospital after doctors repeatedly ignored her life-threatening symptoms. Her "bananas" experience of being dismissed while suffering a 104-degree fever led her to write The Pain Gap, where she exposes the systemic sexism and racism that prevent women from being believed in the exam room. By analyzing the mental and physical impact of being silenced, Anushay reveals how reclaiming our agency is the only way to stop the dangerous normalization of women's discomfort and ensure our survival in a broken healthcare system. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: -The Credibility Gap: Why women in the world's richest democracy are systematically not believed about their own bodies. -Maternal Health 101: The harrowing statistics on why the U.S. is the most dangerous rich country for women to give birth. -Biohacking Your Hospital Visit: Tactical advice on bringing a support person, an agenda, and a "paper trail" to every appointment. -The Truth About Medical Research: How the exclusion of women from clinical trials until the 1990s created a massive knowledge gap. -Racism vs. Race: Why college-educated Black women face a 5x higher risk of death than white women with less education. -The "Perfect Patient" Myth: How being submissive and polite in medical settings can actually cost you your life. -Bikini Medicine: Why menopause and women's health are often treated as an elective after childbearing years end.

Dr. Mitch Shulman can be heard every weekday morning at 7:50 on The Andrew Carter Morning Show.
On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews returning guest Chris, a lab reader and health coach, about why standard lab reference ranges can be misleading because they're based on an average, chronically ill population, leading doctors to label many people “normal” until overt disease appears (e.g., insulin ranges where healthy averages are ~2–6). They criticize algorithmic, diagnosis-driven medicine and argue AI lab interpretation repeats these limitations, lacking nuance and the human “art” of healing. Chris shares his background of childhood illness, leaving a pre-med path after shadowing physicians constrained by the system, and building a holistic practice emphasizing blood chemistry context, lifestyle/circadian factors, behavior change, and nervous system/trauma-pattern work. They discuss setting realistic expectations, avoiding excessive testing and supplement spending, and Chris describes forming a multi-practitioner team and where to find him online. — Book with Chris - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/DUNLjVAk/checkout Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themitopapi/https://shieldofhealth.com SubStack: https://substack.com/@mitopapiX: https://x.com/Mitopapi_________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order.→ Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?

A labor and delivery nurse who knew the language of her own crisis. A medical system that, according to civil lawsuits now filed in the case, prescribed approximately thirteen medications in roughly four months without coordinating care, without adequately assessing her history, and without involving the family watching her disappear. And a prosecution that is now using one of those allegedly inadequate assessments as evidence that she wasn't mentally ill.This week's review of the most significant stories examines the two chapters of the Lindsay Clancy case that reframe everything that came after. Before January 24th, 2023, Lindsay Clancy was a patient who did what patients are supposed to do. She sought help. She showed up. She tracked her own symptoms. According to the civil lawsuits filed in January 2026, her postpartum mental health deteriorated across three pregnancies — anxiety after Cora, undiagnosed bipolar symptoms after Dawson according to expert analysis by Columbia University psychiatry professor Dr. Margaret Spinelli, and a dramatic change after Callan's birth in May 2022 that her family described as a total transformation.The medical timeline raises questions the criminal case will have to answer. A December 2022 admission to Women & Infants Hospital resulted in a finding of no postpartum depression and a rule-out of bipolar disorder — based on what the lawsuit describes as an inadequate patient history. That finding is now central to the prosecution's argument that Lindsay was not impaired. A New Year's Eve admission to McLean Hospital, where she reportedly waited three days to see a doctor and was discharged after five. Eleven days later, auditory hallucinations returned. Virtual appointments the lawsuit describes as too short to assess her condition. And on January 23rd — a 17-minute video appointment ending with a dosage increase. Less than 24 hours later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead.Both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy have filed separate civil lawsuits against the named providers. Lindsay faces three counts of first-degree murder. Her defense will argue she was legally insane. Trial is set for July 2026. A judge recently denied her request for a bifurcated proceeding.Postpartum psychosis occurs at an estimated rate of one to two in a thousand births — comparable to Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. It is not in the DSM. That absence shapes everything — diagnosis, treatment, and what a jury is asked to believe.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Doctor's Inn, we sit down with Dr. Diego Sueldo, an endocrinology resident at Dos de Mayo Hospital in Lima, Peru—one of the country's busiest and most historic public hospitals. Drawing from firsthand experience working in a resource-limited system, Dr. Sueldo offers an unfiltered look at what it truly means to practice medicine when access to labs, imaging, and medications is not guaranteed.We explore how physicians rely on clinical reasoning, history-taking, and physical exam skills when diagnostics are limited, and the pressure that comes with making high-stakes decisions under uncertainty. The conversation dives into the realities of rural medical training, including the risks physicians face, the challenges of caring for underserved populations, and the ongoing SERUMS debate shaping healthcare delivery in Peru.We also examine the intersection of medicine, public trust, and politics—from physician autonomy and patient safety to why vaccine acceptance remains strong in Peru while misinformation continues to erode trust in parts of the United States. Throughout the episode, Dr. Sueldo highlights the resilience, creativity, and innovation that emerge when physicians are pushed to their limits.This episode offers a powerful perspective on global health, reminding us that medicine extends far beyond protocols and technology—it is ultimately defined by adaptability, judgment, and commitment to patient care in any environment.If you want to support Doctor's Inn, here are some easy ways:1.

For most of us who have spent years inside the medical system with a complex child, the experience of being mom in an exam room can feel very different from the experience of being dad. Sometimes that means being dismissed while your husband gets taken seriously. Sometimes it means the opposite — dad gets treated like wallpaper while mom is assumed to be the only one who knows anything. Either way, those dynamics have a way of wearing on a family over time.In this episode, Kyrie joins The Rare Life to talk about the gap between how mothers and fathers can be received by medical providers, and what it costs families when those assumptions go unchecked. We get into the emotional toll of having to manage how you come across just to be believed, the medical trauma that quietly changes how we show up over the years, and the way this can play out differently depending on your family — including the families where it's dad who feels dismissed and overlooked.If you've ever felt like you had to work harder than your partner just to be heard, or wondered why the same concern lands so differently depending on who's saying it, this one will resonate.Links:Join The Rare Life newsletter and never miss an update!Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why physician wellness programs must evolve beyond institutions." Jessie reflects on her seventeen years leading in-house wellness initiatives and argues that while institutional programs provide legitimacy, they are ultimately insufficient for deep healing. She explains that true recovery requires stepping away from the very environments that cause distress to find spaces free from agendas and evaluation. The conversation highlights the unique power of independent, physician-led programs that prioritize mindfulness, somatic healing, and connection with nature. Jessie contends that physicians cannot transform the health care system if they are barely surviving within it, making external wellness spaces not a luxury, but a foundational necessity for sustaining the profession.

Bryce sits down with Scott Schara, the father of Grace Schara, whose death during the COVID era sparked one of the most controversial wrongful death cases in the country. Scott shares the story of what happened after his daughter entered the hospital with low oxygen and never came home. What followed was a legal battle, thousands of hours of research, and a book asking a disturbing question: Has the government created a medical system that can legally harm patients? Scott explains the shocking details uncovered during the trial, including claims about informed consent, hospital protocols, and the incentives that shape modern healthcare. The conversation goes beyond one case. It explores how hospital systems are structured, how government programs influence medical decisions, and why Scott believes Americans need to rethink how they approach healthcare. This is a difficult story, but one Scott hopes will prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy. Ready to JOIN THE FIGHT?

Today, we are bringing you a live episode recorded in Sydney that celebrates the strength, resilience and brilliance of women everywhere. This conversation is our tribute to that journey and a vital call to action to finally close the gender pain gap. Why are women consistently told that pain is "part and parcel" of the female experience? Following our chat with Kate Walsh, her and Claire are joined on the sofa for a panel discussion with four leading experts; PROFESSOR CAROLINE GARGETT: A world-leading reproductive and stem cell science researcher and Group Head of Endometrial Stem Cell Biology Laboratory with 28 years research experience in gynaecological research with a focus on endometriosis and developing a cell based therapy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse. THEA BAKER: Thea has treated women with complex trauma and co-morbid pain conditions as a Psychotherapist in Australia for over 10 years. She also has her own lived experience of chronic pain herself from endometriosis and osteoarthritis A/ PROFESSOR SUSAN EVANS: A specialist, researcher, educator, innovator, advocate and CEO in pelvic pain for over 20 years. As a gynaecologist, laparoscopic surgeon and pain physician, A/Prof Susan Evans Co-founded the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia, co-developed the Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Schools Program, and is now working with Alyra Biotech developing innovative new treatments for pelvic pain. PROFESSOR MARIA FIATARONE SINGH: A geriatrician whose research, clinical, and teaching career has focused on the integration of medicine, exercise physiology, and nutrition as a means to improve health status and quality of life across the lifespan. (Physical & Metabolic Longevity) We dive deep into why women’s symptoms are still frequently dismissed as psychological, the revolutionary potential of menstrual fluid in diagnostics and why "looking normal" on a scan doesn't mean the pain isn't real. From the first period to the complexities of ageing, our experts provide a roadmap for women to reclaim their health and advocate for their own bodies. We explore the "Pain Scale Paradox", revealing why the traditional 1-10 measurement fails those with chronic conditions, while unpacking the biological "amplifier" that predisposes women to persistent pain. It’s time to strip away the historical stigma of "hysteria" and replace it with a medical system that finally validates the female experience!

Episode 185 of The Authentic Human podcast, Part 109 of The Story of Creation explores the four major systems that shaped human society — and how they were designed to mask your connection to universal consciousness. For over a year, this series has followed real-time conversations with universal beings about the origins of existence, human sovereignty, and the truth of creation. In this episode, we go deeper. Not into conspiracy, into truth. Universal truth. We explore: • Why your connection to the universe can never be severed • How the medical system reinforced the belief that you are broken • Why true healing begins in energy, frequency, and cellular rebalancing • How religion introduced judgment culture and blocked creative power • Why the financial system weaponized fear and worthiness • How the education system anchored generational belief patterns • The psychology of control and one world governance • Why anger feeds the system instead of transforming it • The difference between demanding truth and being willing to receive it • How judgment blocks access to consciousness • Why humanity is remembering — not awakening • The shift from fighting the system to creating a new world Human beings were born brilliant. Born curious. Born self-healing. Born sovereign. The systems did not hide truth from you. They trained you to believe you didn't have access to it. Truth feeds freedom. Freedom feeds creation. Creation expands consciousness. If you've ever felt: • Something about the world doesn't make sense • You were meant for more • The system feels misaligned • Healing is deeper than physical medicine • You want truth — not comfort This episode will challenge how you see existence. The future of humanity will not be built by fighting the old system. It will be built by individuals exploring their true potential and creating something entirely new. 0:00 – The Story of Creation: Why Humanity Was Disconnected from Universal Consciousness 1:46 – Your Connection to the Universe Can Never Be Severed (Only Masked) 3:05 – The Medical System and the Belief That You Are Broken 4:41 – Humans Were Designed as Self-Healing Beings 5:05 – “Miracle” Healings Explained Through Conscious Belief and Frequency Shift 6:04 – Religion, Judgment Culture, and Why Humans Stopped Trusting Themselves 7:16 – Judgment Blocks Creative Power and Fuels a Clone-Based Society 9:13 – The Financial System, Fear, Worthiness, and Control 11:10 – The Education System and Generational Belief Programming 12:21 – How Analytical Conditioning Blocks Freedom and Universal Truth 16:24 – Government Structure and the Psychology of Global Control 20:01 – Why Fighting the System Feeds the System 21:17 – The Difference Between Demanding Truth and Being Willing to Receive It 29:50 – Truth Is Not Hidden — You Were Trained to Fear It 32:04 – Stop Fixing the Old System: Create a New World Through Sovereignty 38:01 – Judgment Feeds Control; Exploration Creates the Future 40:28 – Truth Feeds Freedom and Activates Universal Participation New episodes of The Authentic Human Podcast weekly exploring universal consciousness, sovereignty, human origins, energy architecture, and the evolution of existence.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Kenneth McCarthy, whose main focus is the health system, discusses his book 'Diabolical Errors', highlighting the deep flaws in modern medicine.He draws historical parallels between the AIDS and COVID pandemics, suggesting that both were shaped by flawed narratives and systemic failures. During COVID, he notes, dangerous hospital practices emerged, driven by financial incentives, and many patients were harmed as a result.He argues that medical education in the US is heavily influenced by pharmaceutical interests, and that the medical system has been increasingly corrupted since the 19th century.The title 'Diabolical Errors' reflects how harmful practices persist unchecked, hidden within the 'black box' of modern medicine, keeping patients in the dark.Ken stresses the importance of returning to observational medicine, urging greater scepticism towards current protocols to achieve better health outcomes.➡️ Ken's book can found at Amazon✉️ Subscribe to my very addictive newsletter
Otolaryngologist Alan P. Feren and patient advocate Joyce Griggs discuss their article "Why health self-advocacy is an essential life skill." Alan and Joyce share the personal journey of becoming a "chief health executive" and explain why managing medical care should be treated with the same seriousness as financial planning. They outline the eight core pillars of advocacy, ranging from health literacy to financial navigation, and argue for the creation of condition-agnostic tools that help patients regardless of their specific diagnosis. The conversation highlights how preparation and organization not only reduce anxiety for caregivers but also save time for clinicians and improve overall outcomes.

What if the skills that make breech and twin birth safe have been intentionally erased from modern medicine?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, an OB-GYN and longtime advocate for physiological birth. After nearly three decades in hospitals and over a decade attending home births alongside midwives, he's become a leading voice in reteaching the lost art of vaginal breech and twin delivery. Together, we dig into how this knowledge disappeared, what replaced it, and why practitioners are no longer taught to trust birth.Dr. Stuart exposes the ripple effects of fear, policy, and profit that shape today's obstetric system. We look at the flawed studies that reshaped global practice, the quiet politics behind “standard of care,” and the consequences of replacing skill with surgery. There's a reason breech birth became a lost language, and a growing movement to relearn it.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:17] Why the medical system stripped doctors of individuality and decision-making power[12:05] How one flawed study reshaped global birth practices overnight[19:59] Who qualifies for vaginal breech birth[31:33] When “hands off the breech” isn't enough[36:46] How doctors rationalize ignoring evidence that contradicts hospital policy[40:52] The hidden conflicts of interest behind vaccine and medication recommendations[56:36] Why hospitals prioritize liability and revenue over individualized, physiological care[01:03:41] Rediscovering birth as a human experience[01:08:25] When medicine loses its humanityResources Mentioned:Fearless Pregnancy by Stuart Fischbein, Victoria Clayton, and Joyce Weckl | BookTwin Home Birth by Fischbein, S. | ArticleBreech Birth At Home by Fischbein, S. and Freeze, R. | Article“Home Birth” With An Obstetrician by Fischbein, S. | ArticleTerm Breech Trial (2000) by Hannah, M. et al. | ArticleHealthy as a Mother episode #135 on The Truth About Ultrasounds: Risks & Benefits | Apple or SpotifyBirthing Instincts Podcast | Apple or SpotifyLearn more from Dr. Stuart on his website.

What happens when you see behind the curtain of labor and delivery?In this episode, I speak with Rylee, a young mother who chose to freebirth her first child after working inside the hospital system. From the vantage point of the “business of birth,” Rylee began to question everything she thought she knew about pregnancy.

Rylee shares what it was like to work as a self-described “fearmongering phlebotomist,” to quit, and then to bring her baby earthside in her own power.Her story is one of unlearning, reclaiming, and discovering the strength that emerges when a woman finally trusts herself.What You'll Hear:Why Rylee walked away from working in a hospitalWhat it feels like to stand up to doctors and refuse routine proceduresThe hidden link between hospital “convenience” and high C-section ratesWhy even trusted OBs and familiar clinics can still feel wrongHow she found her rhythm and delivered her baby in a birth pool at homeThe joy of her birth: laughing while pushing, with her mother and husband as witnessesTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[09:03] Starting to question the hospital method and learning about freebirth[15:45] Climbing out of the system and trusting her instincts[19:57] Defying the doctors and reclaiming her sovereignty[28:15] Realizing that the hospital is a business[36:37] Choosing who she wanted at her freebirth[38:14] The psychedelic moment before labor began[45:40] Moving into the second day of labour, feeling tired, and calling her Mom[48:47] Exhausted, in a trance, and roaring through the portal of labor[51:32] Finding her rhythm and bringing her baby earth side in the pool[58:19] Getting out of the pool, the first cuddles, and delivering the placentaIf you want to connect more with Rylee, follow her on Instagram.Watch Rylee's birth video here.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
