In this episode I go on a private equity rant, breaking down how corporate takeovers are ruining healthcare—just like they've wrecked other industries, including Southwest Airlines. I explain how profit-driven ownership models are prioritizing revenue over patient care, forcing doctors into impossible situations and leading to worse outcomes for everyone. Takeaways: Private Equity is a Disaster for Healthcare: Dr. Flanary explains how private equity firms take over medical practices, cut costs, reduce patient care quality, and flip them for profit, leaving physicians and patients suffering. Southwest Airlines' Private Equity Problem is a Warning: The downfall of Southwest's customer-friendly policies is just another example of how corporate ownership ruins everything it touches—including medicine. Orthopedic Surgeons Really Love Pickleball: While speaking at an ortho conference, Dr. Flanary witnessed a full pickleball tournament happening inside the exhibit hall—which, honestly, makes a lot of sense for ortho docs. How ERs Handle Eye Emergencies: Not every ER has an on-call ophthalmologist, but level 1 and level 2 trauma centers are required to have one available 24/7—so if you have a serious eye emergency, that's where you should go. The Internet Really Wants to Talk About Spleens: After joking about replacing the spleen with a second liver, Dr. Flanary responds to fan concerns that spleens can “explode”, clearing up how spleen ruptures actually happen. — We have an active survey going.

Because I've been asked over the years, “is sourdough bread gluten free?” AND could it be a healthy, safe option for someone living with chronic health issuesI've finally got some very clear answers for you!To be honest, trying to answer these questions opened up a pandora's box for me. I was then faced with questions I didn't even think to ask like what makes bread labeled “sourdough”… real sourdough?I came to discover that, especially if you live in the US, there's not only a lot of fake sourdough sold on store shelves, but ideas shared on social media about how to make everything from sourdough pancakes or sourdough cookies is probably wrong.We'll get into all of this in today's episode, but I first must acknowledge that for years, gluten has been demonized as a health wrecker. This led countless people to eliminate it (and sourdough bread) from their diets.I spent years teaching how bad gluten was for health…But after 15 years spent avoiding gluten, I've made some really startling discoveries.And that's where sourdough bread comes in (underscoring my long journey to answer that “is sourdough bread gluten free” question).In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the ancient techniques that could revolutionize how we approach bread. He explains why modern wheat is causing problems for so many people and how fermentation transforms grains into a gut-friendly sourdough bread.Dr. Schindler is leading the charge in reviving traditional food preparation methods that can help restore our health. Through his work at the Modern Stone Age Kitchen located in Chestertown, MD, he's proving that sourdough bread can be both nourishing and delicious.If you've ever wondered whether sourdough bread could be worth a try, this episode is for you!In This Episode:Why modern bread is making people sickThe difference between ancient + modern wheat varietiesWhat fermentation does to gluten (and why it matters)Benefits of sourdough breadIs sourdough bread gluten free? (and my experience trying sourdough bread)The hidden truth about “store-bought sourdough”Why fermentation time of sourdough bread is crucial for digestibilityBefore you eat a sourdough cookie or sourdough pancakes…What to look for when buying sourdough bread so you know it's realHow Bill + the Modern Stone Age Kitchen is reviving ancient baking techniquesQuotes“Anybody who's starting to dip their toes into this world of not only eating in this way, but also making your food from scratch at home, fermentation is a great sort of gateway into that world.”“Typically if [the label] says yeast… citric acid, lactic acid, or acetic acid, then I can guarantee you it isn't sourdough and they're trying to fool you.”LinksFind Dr. Bill Schindler + the Modern Stone Age Kitchen online | online | Instagram | InstagramGet Dr. Schindler's book Ready to figure out your skin's root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by over 1000 clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at https://skinrepaircall.com/

Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that's offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What's even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We're talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we're discussing today is at the forefront of it all.

Dr. Yamamoto writes: “Recent vaccines, including those for Japanese encephalitis, cervical cancer, and coronavirus, have shown a low but significant risk of serious autoimmune conditions, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and Guillain–Barré syndrome, as potential adverse events.” He adds: “Moreover, there has been a rise in cases of shingles, monkeypox, syphilis, severe streptococcal infections, measles, sepsis, and post-operative infections in countries administering multiple vaccine doses… Ironically, mRNA vaccines, initially introduced as a solution for infection control, have instead triggered an increase in infections.”In simple terms, these shots were causing “infections” and triggering “autoimmune conditions.”  The definition of an “infection” is “contamination,” to put something foreign into a local body. The definition of a “virus” is “slimy liquid, poison,” which means any substance of the like that can cause harm. Therefore, these shots inject a virus-liquid into a body that then becomes infected.  A recent phase one trial of personalized cancer shots at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is based on “training the immune system to recognize unique cancer mutations, called neoantigens, and mount a stronger, targeted response.” But if the body is already reacting as it should to disease and one trains it to attack that process, it will certainly cause the body to attack itself, i.e., autoimmune disease. And if mRNA guides DNA, then gene therapy product might very well cause cancer by altering the body's regulation of gene activation and cellular reproduction. Dr. Yamamoto is right and his call for concern is simply logical and concerning. Japan also has one of the lowest vaccine trust indexes in the world when factoring in accessibility, and although most of the population reportedly took CoV-shots in particular, there is a high possibility that people just as easily reported to have taken them in order to maintain peace just as it is probably they actually took them for the same reasons, especially considering the overall hesitancy of the country. However, Japan has very low rates, or no increase, in blood clots.After all Japan banned MMR in the 1990s, pulled Moderna vaccines due to contamination, and revised their vaccine laws in the same decade to make vaccination a civic duty rather than a legal obligation. Perhaps this is why Japan got a special Japanese shot in 2024 called replicon, the first self-replicating CoV-shot.

In this episode, Hugh McGovern, PhD joins to discuss his research on the impact of psychedelics on beliefs. Dr. McGovern is a Research Fellow at the School of Medicine, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. To start, Dr. McGovern introduces the inference or predictive processing framework utilized in his paper “An Integrated theory of false insights and beliefs under psychedelics”. He explains the role of prediction in cognition, showing how insights occur when our existing perspectives are unable to make sense of our experience. In this vein, Dr. McGovern discusses how the psychedelic experience disrupts our normal modes of prediction and perception, leaving room for greater influence of environmental factors on insight production. In closing, Dr. McGovern shares ideas on further clinical directions for this research that could give guidance for helping patients more effectively integrate insight experiences.   In this episode you'll hear: The research into how psychedelics can influence and change beliefs The role beliefs and insights can play in psychedelic journeys  How false insights can be experimentally induced The connection between prediction errors in our cognition and insight experiences The hippocampus, memory, and psychedelics The association between insight moments and increased mental health following psychedelic experiences   Quotes: “[In psychedelic experiences] your expectations are no longer helping you make sense of your current sensory experience. And so you're uniquely susceptible to environmental input under psychedelics—which would account for things like visual hallucinations [and] these novel insight moments.” [18:30] “When you have really really strong prediction errors or really really strong insight moments, they can have a disproportionately important influence on your worldview going forward.” [20:03] “Psychedelics, from a few different studies, show they can impair the formation of hippocampally dependent memories but they can perhaps even enhance the formation of cortically dependent memories. So what that means is you come out of the experience with this sense of knowing but it's in some sense lacking in details.” [29:04]   Links: “An Integrated theory of false insights and beliefs under psychedelics” by Hugh McGovern et al.

For thousands of years, medicine revolved around one simple truth—all disease begins in the gut. The ancient healers, from Hippocrates to the early Roman physicians, saw digestion as the key to health, using fermented foods, fasting, and herbal remedies to restore balance. Then, everything changed. With the rise of Germ Theory, antibiotics, and industrialized medicine, doctors stopped treating the gut and started waging war on bacteria. This shift erased centuries of wisdom, leading to an explosion of autoimmune disease, mental health disorders, and metabolic dysfunction—all traced back to the gut. But now, science is proving what medicine once knew. Thanks to pioneers like Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. Sidney Baker, and Dr. Alessio Fasano, and the groundbreaking Human Microbiome Project, we are finally rediscovering the gut's true power.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: How the ancient Greek and Roman physicians treated disease The four humors of health  The rise of Germ Theory 200 years of medical mistakes and hubris and the price humanity has paid How the 2007 Microbiome Project changed science forever What our future can look like if we polay our cards right   Did you like this episode?

"And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'" - Matthew 25:40Millions of people around the world need the basic necessities of life, but even more importantly—they need the Gospel. One organization is helping them receive both. Kelly Miller joins us with an impact report.Kelly Miller is the CEO and President of Cross International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.A Ministry Model Built on PartnershipCross International's approach to global missions is unique. Instead of working independently, they partner with local Christian organizations, churches, and nonprofits in the countries where they serve.These local partners know their communities far better than we do, and Cross International's role is to walk alongside them and help them expand on what God has already called them to do.This collaborative model not only maximizes impact but also reflects the unity of the Body of Christ as believers across the globe work together to serve those in desperate need.An Impact Report: What God is Doing Through Cross InternationalCross International's mission goes beyond charity. It is about sharing Jesus' love while addressing critical physical needs.Here's a snapshot of what God is doing through their ministry:40,000 children and adults receive food support annuallyOver 3 million servings of fortified rice were provided last year16,000 people gained access to clean, safe drinking waterHundreds of thousands received medical supplies and essential medicinesEach of these numbers represents real lives being changed—people who are now experiencing hope, stability, and the love of Christ.Serving in Crisis: Cross International's Work in HaitiHaiti has endured political instability, gang violence, and natural disasters, yet in the midst of turmoil, Cross International continues to bring hope.Key Ministries in Haiti:Primary education for thousands of childrenTutoring and vocational training to prepare young people for employmentDaily nutritious meals—often the only meal a child will eat all-dayDespite the negative news headlines, God is moving in Haiti, and Cross International is at the forefront of that transformation.Caring for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in AfricaIn many African nations, AIDS, poverty, and natural disasters have left countless children orphaned and homeless. Through their partnerships, Cross International provides:Education and tutoring for at-risk childrenDaily meal support for children without food securityHome rebuilding for families living in unstable, mud-based housingBy offering stable housing, education, and nourishment, Cross International is breaking the cycle of poverty for these children and their families.One of the most inspiring aspects of Cross International's work is how it transforms entire communities.Take Malawi, for example—a country where child malnutrition and extreme poverty are common. Without the feeding program, many children would not go to school. The cycle of poverty would continue. In many cases, young girls would be married off at 11 or 12 years old because their families cannot afford to feed them. This program is breaking that cycle.Through Cross International's work in Tanganyika, Malawi, over 500 children receive food, education, and discipleship—offering them a new future filled with hope and purpose.Meeting Spiritual Needs Alongside Physical OnesCross International provides food, water, and education, but it also shares the life-changing truth of the Gospel with its beneficiaries.Children need to be rooted in God's Word from a young age because navigating life becomes much harder without it. When they learn early on, they grow up with the unshakable truth that God is their provider, guiding and sustaining them through every season of life.Cross International's faith-centered mission is a direct response to 1 John 3:17, which reminds us that true love for God is demonstrated in how we care for those in need.How You Can Partner with Cross InternationalCross International has launched the Thriving Kids Initiative, a program designed to help orphaned, vulnerable, and disabled children not only survive but thrive.By focusing on three key areas:Strengthening familiesBuilding faith communitiesProviding essential resources (food, water, shelter, education)Cross International creates a foundation for long-term stability and spiritual growth.For just $62 a month, you can provide:Nutritious mealsClean and safe drinking waterEducation and discipleshipVisit crossinternational.org/faith to become a monthly partner.As believers, we are called to use our financial resources for God's purposes. Partnering with Cross International is a tangible way to invest in lives, eternity, and the Kingdom of God.God entrusts us with wealth so we can join Him in His work, using our resources to further His Kingdom. As the Body of Christ, let's come together to transform lives and bring the hope of Jesus to those in greatest need.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about rebalancing for 401(k) accounts.

Send us a textShort Summary: How dietary fructose affects the growth rate of cancer.About the guest: Gary Patti, PhD is a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, holding appointments in chemistry, medicine, and geneticsNote: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Nick Jikomes talks to Dr. Patti, exploring how cancer cells metabolize sugars like glucose and fructose, focusing on a recent study showing fructose indirectly boosts tumor growth in mice via liver-produced lipids called LPCs. The discussion covers cancer biology basics, Warburg effect, tumor microenvironments, and systemic metabolic impacts of cancer, while also touching on dietary implications, fasting, and the complexities of nutrient use in cancer progression.Key Takeaways:Cancer cells often rely heavily on glucose, excreting it as lactate even when oxygen is available (Warburg effect), but take up more than their mitochondria can handle.In a study, high fructose diets accelerated tumor growth in mice by 4x, not because cancer cells use fructose directly, but because the liver converts it to LPCs, which tumors use to build membranes.Tumors are not just cancer cells; they recruit healthy cells in their microenvironment, and their metabolic effects ripple across the entire body, altering distant tissues.Excessive fructose consumption may worsen tumor growth, but cutting it poses little risk and could benefit cancer patients, pending human studies.Fasting may reduce cancer initiation risk in animals, but its effect on existing tumors is less clear and could worsen wasting (cachexia) in late stages.The body tightly regulates blood glucose via the liver, so simply cutting dietary glucose won't starve tumors, highlighting cancer's metabolic adaptability.Related episode:M&M #200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon CancerSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Millennias ago, the world's first-recorded priestesses served as the vessel and voice of the Goddess for powerful kings and empires across Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Levant. My guest this week, Lisa Moriah, is a Mesopotamian and Biblical goddess wisdom keeper, shamanic priestess, somatic sound healer, and temple sales & marketing coach. Her work supports ancient-future devotion that is steeped in text and history, bridging the millennias between the earliest-recorded priestesses and modern women. Lisa believes your body and voice are portals to ancient power and she shares this wisdom and more in this episode.On this guest episode, I ask Lisa to explain how sound is the most feminine of all healing modalities, what is “somatic sound?” and how women use this to perform self-healing for trauma. She shares about how she uses some very ancient technologies for sound healing, based in Abrahamic religious tradition and finding Goddess in Abrahamic religious tradition. I ask how she came to specialize in transmitting the presence of Goddess in sacred texts and where does Goddess reclamation work intersect with sound. Lisa is creating a safe harbor for Women who are ready to reclaim the Goddess within free from standard religion, a beautiful offering and fascinating work! BIO: Lisa Moriah is a Mesopotamian and Biblical goddess wisdom keeper, shamanic priestess, somatic sound healer, and temple sales & marketing coach. Her work supports ancient-future devotion that is steeped in text and history, bridging the millennias between the earliest-recorded priestesses and modern women. She loves nothing more than amplifying the wisdom of ancient feminine voices for audiences today. Sound is Lisa Moriah's primary healing tool—including voice, rhythm, early temple instruments, and Eastern musical modes called makams. By reviving the path of the En priestesses of Sumer, and the Qadosha priestesses of the Israelite temple, she helps women re-member the goddess heritage that birthed their Abrahamic faith of origin. Practically, this work also activates authentic voice and dissolves inner blocks—so feminine creativity and leadership can flow unhindered. Lisa Moriah's ritual and transformational work is underpinned by seven years of goddess devotion and ritual, ten years of online business, and twenty years of professional writing.

Matt Crawford speaks with Neurologist and author Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan about her book, The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels is Making Us Sicker. We live in an age of diagnosis. Conditions like ADHD and autism are on the rapid rise, while new categories like long Covid are being created. Medical terms are increasingly used to describe ordinary human experiences, and the advance of sophisticated genetic sequencing techniques means that even the healthiest of us may soon be screened for potential abnormalities. More people are labeled "sick" than ever before—but are these diagnoses improving their lives? With scientific authority and compassionate storytelling, neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan argues that our obsession with diagnosis is harming more than helping. It is natural when we are suffering to want a clear label, understanding, and, of course, treatment. But our current approach to diagnosis too often pathologizes difference, increases our anxiety, and changes our experience of our bodies for the worse. Through the moving stories of real people, O'Sullivan compares the impact of a medical label to the pain of not knowing. She explains the way the boundaries of a diagnosis can blur over time. Most importantly, she calls for us to find new and better vocabularies for suffering and to find ways to support people without medicalizing them.

This week, we're diving into a cutting-edge treatment: a type of stem cell that uses a patient's own DNA to rejuvenate their body. With a specialized laser, these cells can be guided to target specific areas, offering a precise approach to regeneration. I'm joined by Dr. Neil Neimark, a board-certified physician and pioneer in functional medicine. After graduating with honors from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1981, he grew disillusioned with traditional medicine's symptom-focused approach and shifted toward holistic health. Dr. Neimark unveils the transformative potential of VSELs (Very Small Embryonic-Like stem cells), activated by the SongLaser, a technology developed by Dr. Todd Ovokaitys. These small, versatile stem cells hold promise for treating various conditions and boosting vitality. For more on his expertise, check out his popular 2019 TEDx talk, "The Promise of Stem Cell Therapy." Dr. Neimark explains how VSELs, which never age, could redefine regenerative medicine by reversing your biological clock at the DNA level. This deeply personalized approach may unlock unprecedented levels of health, anti-aging, and well-being. If stem cells intrigue you, this episode educates on a new opportunity that allows you to stay within your own DNA.

Today I'm interviewing Dr Adriana Bermeo about her article on a multidisciplinary approach to nonepileptic events, which she wrote with Dr Victor Petron. This article appears in the February 2025 Continuum issue on epilepsy. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to our audience. Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Hello Dr Neville, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you very much for inviting me. My name is Adriana Bermeo and I'm an adult epileptologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and I am also the codirector of the NEST clinic, which is a treatment clinic for patients with nonepileptic seizures within our level four epilepsy center. Dr Nevel: Wonderful. Well, thank you so much for being here, and I can't wait to talk to you about your article and learn a little bit about NEST, maybe, during our conversation, and how you approach things. To start us off talking about your article today, could you share with us what you think is the most important takeaway from your article for the practicing neurologist? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Wonderful. There's some messages that I would like people to get from working with patients with functional neurologic disorders in general. The first one is that functional neurologic disorders are very common in presentation in the neurologic clinic, almost no matter what your practice of self-specialty care is. The second is that for people who treat patients primarily with seizures or epilepsy, they account for between 5 to 10% of our patients in the clinic, but about 30% of our patients in our epilepsy monitoring unit because the seizures typically do not respond to anti-seizure medication management. Also, that in order to diagnose them, you don't need to have a neuropsychological stress already be available for the patient or the clinician. And the most important thing is that there are available treatments for these patients and that there are options that we can offer them for them to have less seizures and to be more integrated to whatever activities they want to get integrated. Dr Nevel: Wonderful. What do you think a practicing neurologist might find surprising after reading your article? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: I think still many neurologists feel very hopeless when they see patients with these conditions. They do not have very good answers right away for the patients, which is frustrating for the neurologist. And they don't think there's too much they can do to help them other than send them somewhere else, which is very difficult for the neurologist and is crushing to the patients to see these doctors that they're hoping to find answers to and then just find that there's not much to do. But what I want neurologists to know is that we are making strides in our understanding of the condition and that there are effective treatments available. And I hope that after reading this and engaging with this conversation, they will feel curious, even hopeful when they see the next patient in the clinic. Dr Nevel: Yeah, absolutely. I find the history of nonepileptic seizures really interesting and I enjoyed that part of your article. How has our understanding of nonepileptic seizures evolved over the centuries, and how does our current understanding of nonepileptic seizures inform the terminology that we use? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Yeah. The way we name things and the way we offer treatment goes along to how we understand things. So, the functional seizures and epileptic seizures were understood in ancient times as possession from the spirits or the demons or the gods, and then treatments were offered to those kind of influences and that continues to happen with functional seizures. So, we go through the era when this was thought to be a women-only condition that was stemming from their reproductive organs and then treatments accordingly were presented. And later on with Charcot and then Freud, they evolved to even conversion disorders, which is one understanding the most conversion disorders, which is one of the frameworks where this condition has been treated with psychotherapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy. And in our current understanding, we understand functional neurologic disorders in general as a more like a connection, communication network disorder, between areas of the brain that modulate emotional processing and movement control. And therefore, our approach these days is much more geared towards rehabilitation. You know, I think that's the evolution of thinking in many different areas. And as we learn more, we will be acquiring more tools to help our patients. Dr Nevel: Yeah, great. Thanks so much for that answer. Just reading the historical information that you have in your article, you can imagine a lot of stigma with this diagnosis too over time, and that- I think that that's lessening. But I was wondering if you could talk about that a little bit. How do we approach that with our patients and loved ones, any stigma that they might feel or perceive from being diagnosed with nonepileptic seizures? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Thank you for asking that question. Stigma is actually an important problem even for people living with epilepsy. There's still a lot of misunderstanding of what epilepsy is and how it affects people, and that people living with epilepsy can live normal, healthy lives and do everything they want to do with appropriate treatment. And if a stigma is still a problem with epilepsy, it is a huge problem for patients living with functional neurologic symptoms in general, but particularly with functional seizures or nonepileptic seizures. Because the stigma in this population is even perpetuated by the very people who are supposed to help them: physicians, primary care doctors, emergency room doctors. Unfortunately, the new understanding of this condition has not gotten to everybody. And these patients are often even blamed for their symptoms and for the consequences of their symptoms and of their seizures in their family members, in their job environment, in their community. Living with that is really, really crushing, right? Even people talk about, a lot about malingering. They come back about secondary gain. I can tell you the patients I see with functional seizures gain nothing from having this condition. They lose, often, a lot. They lose employment, they lose ability to drive. They lose their agency and their ability to function normally in society. I do think that the fight- the fighting of stigma is one that we should do starting from within, starting from the healthcare community into our understanding of what these patients go through and what is causing their symptoms and what can we do to help them. So there's a lot of good work to be done. Dr Nevel: Absolutely. And it starts, like you said, with educating everybody more about nonepileptic seizures and why this happens. The neurobiology, neurophysiology of it that you outlined so nicely in your article, I'm going to encourage the listeners to look at Figure 1 and 4 for some really nice visualization of these really complex things that we're learning a lot about now. And so, if you don't mind for our listeners, kind of going over some of the neurobiology and neurophysiology of nonepileptic seizures and what we're learning about it. Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Our understanding of the pathophysiology of functional neurologic seizure disorder is in its infancy at this point. The neurobiological processes that integrate emotional regulation and our responses to it, both to internal stimuli and to external stimuli and how they affect our ability to have control over our movement---it's actually amazing that we as neurologists know so little about these very complex processes that the brain do, right? And for many of us this is the reason why we're in neurology, right, to be at the forefront of this understanding of our brain. So, this is in that realm. It is interesting what we have learned, but it's amazing all that we have to learn. There is the clear relationship between risk factors. So, we know patients with functional neurologic symptom disorder and with functional seizures, particularly in many different places in the world with many different beliefs, relationship to their body, to their expression of their body, have this condition no matter how different they are. And also, we know that they have commonalities. For example, traumatic experiences that are usually either very strong traumatic experiences or very pervasive traumatic experiences or recurrent over time of different quality. So, we are in the process of understanding how these traumatic experiences actually inform brain connectivity and brain development that result in this lack of connections between brain areas and the expression of them, and that result in this kind of disorder. I wish I can tell you more about it or that I would understand more about it, but I am just grateful for the work that has been done so that we can understand more and therefore have more to offer to these patients and their families and their communities that are support. Dr Nevel: Yeah, absolutely. That's always the key, and just really exciting that we're starting to understand this better so that we can hopefully treat it better and inform our patients better---and ourselves. Can you talk to us a little bit about the multidisciplinary team approach and taking care of patients with nonepileptic seizures? Who's involved, what does best practice model look like? You have a clinic there, obviously; if you could share with us how your clinic runs in the multidisciplinary approach for care of these patients? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: The usual experience of patients dealing with functional seizures, because this is a condition that has neurological symptoms and psychiatric symptoms, is that they go to the neurologist and the neurologist does not feel sufficiently able to manage all the psychiatric comorbidities of the condition. So, the patient is sent to psychiatry. The psychiatry really finds themselves very hopeless into handling seizures, which is definitely not their area of expertise, and these patients then being- “ping-ponging” from one to the other, or they are eventually sent to psychotherapy and the psychotherapist doesn't know what they're dealing with. So, we have found with- and we didn't come up with this. We had wonderful support from other institutions who have done- been doing this for a longer time. That bringing all of this specialty together and kind of situating ourselves around the patient so that we can communicate our questions and our discrepancies and our decision between who takes care of what without putting that burden on the patient is the best treatment not only for the patient, who finally feels welcome and not burden, but actually for the team. So that the psychiatrist and the neurologist support the psychotherapist who does the psychotherapy, rehabilitation, mind the program. And we also have the support and the involvement of neuropsychology. So, we have a psychiatrist, a neurologist, social worker, psychotherapist and neuropsychology colleagues. And together we look at the patient from everywhere and we support each other in the treatment of the patient, keeping the patient in the middle and the interest of the patient in the middle. And we have found that that approach has helped our patients the best, but more importantly, makes our job sustainable so that none of us is overburdened with one aspect of the care of the patient and we feel supported from the instances that is not our most comfortable area. So that is one model to do it. There's other models how to do it, but definitely the interdisciplinary care is the way to go so far for the care of patients with functional neurologic symptom disorders and with functional seizures or nonepileptic seizures in particular. Dr Nevel: Yeah, I can see that, that everybody brings their unique expertise and then doesn't feel like they're practicing outside their, like you said, comfort zone or scope of practice. In these clinics---or maybe this happens before the patient gets to this multidisciplinary team---when you've established a diagnosis of nonepileptic seizures, what's your personal approach or style in terms of how you communicate that with the patient and their loved ones? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: It is important to bring this diagnosis in a positive term. You know, unfortunately the terminology question is still out and there's a lot of teams very invested into how to better characterize this condition and how to- being told that you don't have something is maybe not that satisfying for patients. So, we are still working on that, but we do deliver the diagnosis in positive terms. Like, this is what you have. It's a common condition. It's shared by this many other people in the world. It's a neuropsychiatric disorder and that's why we need the joint or collaborative care from neurology and psychiatry. We know the risk factors and these are the risk factors. You don't have to have all of them in order to have this condition. These are the reasons why we think this is the condition you have. There is coexisting epilepsy and functional seizures as well. We will explore that possibility and if we get to that conclusion, we will treat these two conditions independently and we- our team is able to treat both of them. And we give them the numbers of our own clinic and other similar clinics. And with that we hope that they will be able to get the seizures under better control and back to whatever is important to them. I tell my trainees and my patients that my goals of care for patients with functional seizures are the same as my patients with epileptic seizures, meaning less seizures, less disability, less medications, less side effects, less burden of the disease. And when we communicate it in that way, patients are very, very open and receptive. Dr Nevel: Right. What do you think is a mistake to avoid? I don't know if “mistake” is necessarily the right word, but what's something that we should avoid when evaluating or managing patients with nonepileptic seizures? What's something that you see sometimes, maybe, that you think, we should do that differently? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: I think the opportunity of engaging with these patients is probably the hardest one. Because neurologists have the credibility, they have the relationship, they have- even if they don't have a multi-disciplinary team all sitting in one room, they probably have some of the pieces of this puzzle that they can bring together by collaborating. So, I think that missing the opportunity, telling the patient, this is not what I do or this is not something that belongs to me, you need to go to a mental health provider only, I think is the hardest one and the most disheartening for patients because our patients come to us just like all patients, with hopes and with some information to share with us so that we can help them make sense of it and have a better way forward. We as neurologists know very well that we don't have an answer to all our patients, and we don't offer zero seizures to any of our patients, right? We offer our collaborative work to understand what is going on and a commitment to walk in the right direction so that we are better every day. And I do think wholeheartedly that that is something that we can offer to patients with functional seizures almost in any environment. Dr Nevel: Yeah, absolutely. And using that multidisciplinary approach and being there with your patient, moving forward in a longitudinal fashion, I can see how that's so important. What do you find most challenging and what do you find most rewarding about caring for patients with nonepileptic seizures? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: The thing that I find more challenging are the systemic barriers that the system still places. We discuss with the patients, what is the right time to go to the emergency room or not? Because the emergency room may be a triggering environment for patients with functional seizures and it may be a place where not everybody is necessarily attuned to have this conversation. Having said that, I never tell any of my patients not to go to the emergency room because I don't know what's happening with them. As a matter of fact, we're getting a lot of information on high mortality rates in patients with functional seizures, and it's not because of suicide and is probably not related to the seizure. Maybe this is---you know, this is speculation on my part---that is because they get to more severe conditions in other things that are not the functional seizures because they just experienced the healthcare system as very hostile because we are very in many instances. So, navigating that is a little bit difficult, and I try to tell them to have the doctors call me so that I can frame it in a different way and still be there for them. But I can tell you this clinic is the most rewarding clinic of all my clinical activities. And I love with all my heart being an epileptologist and seeing my patients with epilepsy. But the number of times my patients with functional seizures say, nobody had ever explained this to me, nobody had ever validated my experience in front of my family so that I'm not- like, feel guilty myself for having this episode, I can't tell you how many times. And obviously patients who come to the nonepileptic seizure clinic already know that they come to the nonepileptic seizure clinic, so that- you can say it's a selection of patients that are already educated in this condition to come to the clinic. But I would love everybody to know managing this population can be enormously, enormously satisfying and rewarding. Dr Nevel: Especially for, I imagine, patients who have been in and out of the ER, in and out of the hospital, or seen multiple providers and make their way to you. And you're able to explain it in a way that makes sense and hopefully reduces some of that stigma maybe that they have been feeling. Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: And along with that, iatrogenic interventions, unnecessary intubations, unnecessary ICUs; like, so much. And I think, I have no superpower to do that other than understanding this condition in a different way. And by I, I mean all the providers, because I'm not alone in this. There's many, many people doing excellent work in this state. And we just need to be more. Dr Nevel: Yeah, sure. Absolutely. So, on that note, what's next in research, or what do you think will be the next big thing? What's on the horizon in this area? Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: I think the community in the functional neurologic disorder community is really hopeful that more understanding into the neurobiology of this condition will bring more people over and more neurologists willing to take it on. There was an invitation from the NIH, I think, about four or five years ago to submit proposals for research in this area in particular. So, all of those studies must be ongoing. I'm much more a clinician than a researcher myself, but I am looking forward to what all of that is going to mean for our patients. And for- I think there's other opportunities in that further understanding of the clinical manifestations of many other conditions, and for our understanding of our relationship with our patients. I feel we are more attuned to align with a disease that, when the experience of the patient- and with a disease like this, a condition like this one, we have to engage with the personal experience of the patient. What I mean by that is that we are more likely to say,  I'm an epileptologist, I'm an MS doctor, you know, and we engage with that condition. This condition, like, just makes us engaging with the symptom and with the experience of the person. And I think that's a different frame that is real and rounded into the relationship with our patients. So, I think there's so much that we can learn that can change practice in the future. Dr Nevel: Yeah. And as your article, you know, outlines, and you've outlined today during our discussion, that- how important this is for the future, that we treat these patients and help them as much as we can, that comes with understanding the condition better, because wow, I was really surprised reading your article. The mortality associated with this, the healthcare costs, how many people it affects, was just very shocking to me. So, I mean, this is a really important topic, obviously, and something that we can continue to do better in. Wonderful. Well, thank you so much. It's been really great talking to you today. Dr Bermeo-Ovalle: Thank you, Katie, I appreciate it too. Dr Nevel: So again, today I've been interviewing Dr Adriana Bermeo about her article on a multidisciplinary approach to nonepileptic events, which she wrote with Dr Victor Petron.
