This episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast is a deep dive into the complexities of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods,” details the challenges of diagnosing tick-borne diseases, the limitations of current diagnostic tests, and the controversy around treatment methodologies. Nicole shares her personal journey that led her to this field after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which was later revealed to be caused by advanced Lyme disease. They also discuss new diagnostic techniques, the importance of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing advocacy efforts to improve awareness and research funding for Lyme disease.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores the confusing and often frightening world of atypical migraines. Unlike classic migraines—characterized by one-sided throbbing head pain and light or sound sensitivity—atypical migraines show up in unexpected ways, including:Visual disturbances and auraNumbness, tingling, or weaknessStroke-like symptoms such as facial droopingBrain fog, dizziness, or fatigueDr. Taves explains how the healthcare system typically treats atypical migraines as a “diagnosis of exclusion,” offering only medications to manage symptoms rather than addressing root causes. He emphasizes that many of these unusual migraine presentations stem from problems in the upper neck, which can confuse the brain's pain-processing pathways and create a wide variety of neurological symptoms.Listeners will learn why traditional imaging often misses the true problem, how the brain can misinterpret pain signals, and why focusing on neck movement and function can be key to finding lasting relief. Dr. Taves encourages patients not to settle for symptom management but to seek out a framework that addresses the underlying cause of their migraines.Novera: Headache Center

In this episode, host Diann Wingert sits down with Dr. Gilly Kahn, author of the recently published Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women's ADHD. Together, Gilly and Diann tackle often overlooked elements of ADHD, like emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity, shining a light on the daily realities that many women face but rarely see reflected in mainstream ADHD narratives.Drawing on both personal experiences and clinical insights, Gilly and Diann unpack hot-button topics such as the gaps in diagnostic criteria, why women are often diagnosed later in life, and the profound impact of being emotionally sensitive in a world that expects conformity.Whether you've been told you're “extra,” struggled with impulsivity, or have battled feelings of not belonging, this conversation will offer validation, strategies, and a healthy dose of humor.

Send us a textWhat if the deepest wound in the human soul isn't sin—but shame?In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God.With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth that God never left? What if our shame, not our sin, is the lie that keeps us hiding in the bushes?This episode doesn't just challenge centuries of teaching—it offers healing. It dares us to imagine a Christianity that begins not with fear, but with belovedness. A faith not obsessed with fixing what's “wrong,” but resting in the God who has been with us all along.If you've ever carried the weight of religious shame or wondered if you were ever truly “safe” with God, this conversation liberate your soul.#HarvestSarasota #FaithWithoutFear #AlwaysSafeInGod #InherentUnion #HealingFromShame #DeconstructingFaith #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #MessyFaith #SpiritualJourney #GoodNewsGospel #FaithNotFear #stanmitchell Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

He has lived in addiction for decades while having a successful business career and burning his life to the ground. He was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and ADHD in rehab at Cirque Lodge in 2023. It was not until this third trip to rehab in 2024 at Burning Tree Renewal Lodge after his first ever arrest that he was able to let go of past traumas that have haunted him some since childhood. Those traumas include sexual abuse by a male babysitter at the age of 10/11, an unhealthy lifelong relationship with his father and being codependent up the ass in all his relationships in his life. He learned about and how to “manage” his codependency, he began and continues therapy to deal with the traumas and current life challenges, and he learned to live in the present. Heidi is the co-founder of Sober.Buzz and has experienced trauma since the beginning, starting with the Primal Wound as she was adopted shortly after birth. She was molested for many years at a young age until her familymoved from California to Utah. In her early years she found joy in swimming and could have gone far but after being sexually assaulted a week before her 16th birthday she lost the joy she once found in her favorite sport, and it was then she began her journey with drugs. She has been battling misdiagnoses and addiction ever since and a year ago Heidi, with help from Josh and a sober manager, decided to attend AcquaRecovery in Utah. From that time on Heidi has been dedicated to her road to recovery._______________________Follow us!@worldxppodcast Instagram - https://bit.ly/3eoBwyr@worldxppodcast Twitter - https://bit.ly/2Oa7BzmSpotify - http://spoti.fi/3sZAUTGYouTube - http://bit.ly/3rxDvUL#addictionawareness #addictionrecovery #substanceabusetreatment #drug #drugaddiction #alcohol #alcoholismrecovery #recovery #recoveryjourney #subscribe #explore #explorepage #podcastshow #longformpodcast #podcasts #podcaster #podcasting #worldxppodcast #viralvideo #youtubeshorts

Segment 1: Hormone Imbalances May Be Causing Your Mental And Physical Issues Hormones regulate nearly every function in the body, yet their role in women's health is often overlooked in conventional medicine. Misdiagnosis of hormone imbalances can lead to physical and emotional suffering. Dr. Julie Taylor explains the proper tests and education that can help women find the root cause of many different symptoms, empowering them to better understand and manage their health. Segment 2: Are Pharmacy Benefit Managers To Blame For Your Massive Health Bills? Last week we discussed how PBMs operate within healthcare, including negotiating drug prices and operating clinical programs. And though PBMs are under increasing scrutiny from lawmakers and the FTC, experts argue that reform – not removal – is key to creating a more transparent and efficient system.

In this interview, Dr.SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, Inventor of Email, Scientist, Engineer and Candidate for President, Talks about Medical Misdiagnosis and Pneumonia. My Personal Experience.

In this powerful episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I sit down with medical researcher, writer, and host of Modern Hysteria, Micah Larsen, to dive deep into her deeply personal and courageous journey through PMDD, menopause, and preeclampsia. With warmth and unflinching honesty, Micah illuminates the painful gaps in our healthcare system and the persistence of medical misogyny—and, more importantly, how we can begin to dismantle those barriers. We explore: The courage it takes to speak openly about taboo topics like incontinence, childbirth, postpartum challenges, and menopause. How narrative and advocacy are essential tools for transforming women's healthcare. Micah's Montana farm: a place of solace, healing, and self-acceptance that has helped her reclaim her body and spirit amid the storms. This episode is equal parts urgent call to action and celebration of resilience—a reminder that better women's healthcare starts with brave conversations and compassionate communities. Note: This episode includes discussions of very heavy themes, including suicide. If you're feeling fragile, you might choose to listen in gentle doses, on a different day, or skip it altogether. But know this: this is an inspiring conversation—and I hope it helps ignite a true women's medical rights movement.

Racial trauma. Misdiagnosis. Medical gaslighting.This episode explores how racism becomes a public health crisis—especially when it comes to the mental health of Black communities.I'm joined by Dr. Ingrid Waldron—professor, researcher, and author of From the Enlightenment to Black Lives Matter—for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about the systemic forces that shape how mental illness is diagnosed, treated, and too often ignored in Black bodies.Originally recorded for National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, this conversation is more timely than ever.We discuss:Why schizophrenia is disproportionately diagnosed in Black menHow the “strong Black woman” trope blocks empathy and access to careWhat medical gaslighting actually looks like in clinical settingsThe physical toll of racial stress and internalized traumaResources Mentioned:

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In the first of a three-part interview, Dr. Emily Wood, a board-certified psychiatrist and PhD neuroscientist, discusses the complex links between neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism, and chronic pain syndromes like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Dr. Wood, who heads Spectrum Psych LA, sheds light on why these conditions are often overlooked in high-masking individuals and women and explains the sensory processing differences that contribute to chronic pain. The conversation touches on the shortcomings in traditional psychiatric training and the importance of reevaluating medical education to better serve neurodivergent individuals. Dr. Wood also shares insights from her unique training path and discusses the broader implications of misdiagnosis and lack of understanding in the medical community.00:00 Introduction to Dr. Emily Wood and Her Unique Expertise01:11 Exploring Overlooked Neurodevelopmental Conditions in Women01:55 The Intersection of Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Chronic Pain02:52 Dr. Wood's Journey and Insights into Psychiatry06:27 Challenges in Medical Training and Diagnosis15:54 Implications of Misdiagnosis and the Importance of Listening26:11 Concluding Thoughts  International Conference on ADHD in November 2025 where Dr. Lenz will be one of the speakers. Support the showWhen I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Lisa is joined by two internationally recognized leaders in the field of complex trauma and dissociation—Ana Gómez and Jill Hosey—for a heartfelt conversation about their monumental new release: The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children. More than just a book discussion, this episode offers a reverence-based reframe of dissociation—not as pathology, but as a brilliant, adaptive survival strategy used by children navigating overwhelming experiences. Ana and Jill share their personal insights from editing this groundbreaking 900+ page volume, which weaves together theory, research, clinical case work, and embodied practices from over 60 contributors. Together, they explore the profound responsibility therapists carry—not only to understand dissociation in their clients but to honor how it arises in their own inner worlds. You'll hear candid reflections on what it means to be a regulated presence in the therapy room, how fear of dissociation may show up in clinicians, and how co-regulation becomes the foundation for relational healing. Whether you're just beginning to explore the topic of dissociation or are a seasoned trauma therapist, this episode invites you to shift from fear to curiosity—from fragmentation to integration.

In this episode of Ambitious, I share my personal journey from the relentless hustle of scaling my business to seven figures, to the emotional and mental toll it took on me. I open up about how my pursuit of success nearly broke me and how I realized that making money doesn't equal happiness or fulfillment. I talk about the importance of balance and how isolating myself to work harder was not the solution. I discuss the insights I gained from therapy and coaching and how letting go of my old ways and embracing a more harmonious approach has transformed my life, my relationships, and my business. Plus, I explore the powerful, raw discussions at our Ambitious Women's Dinner in Toronto, where female entrepreneurs gathered to share their journeys and support each other. Join me as I navigate the shift from masculine to feminine energy, the value of feeling over thinking, and the importance of intentional, deep conversations in our lives.00:50 Introduction06:47 The Shift from Hustle to Balance13:21 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship22:07 The Misdiagnosis and Realization28:28 The Importance of Mental Health in Business30:57 The Turning Point: A Life-Changing Conversation32:35 Embracing Vulnerability and Emotional Healing38:20 Navigating the Masculine and Feminine Balance43:11 The Power of Feeling and ConnectionTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

The brilliant Tracy Otsuka is back on the show for another rich conversation about why ADHD so often gets misdiagnosed (or completely missed) in women, how trauma can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, and what you can actually do to function and advocate for yourself if you're dealing with either (or both) during divorce. We also dig into the very real challenges of trying to function while your brain is in a constant state of overwhelm: whether that's from trauma, ADHD, or the mental chaos that comes when the lines between them blur. Tracy breaks down the importance of understanding how your brain is wired, why traditional systems so often fail neurodivergent women, and how to build supports that actually work for you. Whether you're navigating ADHD or the aftermath of trauma, reclaiming your own narrative isn't just important, it's necessary, especially if someone else is trying to write it for you. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: How ADHD presents differently in women than men and why so many of us go undiagnosed (3:23) The difference between a trauma state and ADHD and why knowing the distinction matters (10:15) What to do when your ADHD diagnosis is used against you by your partner or ex in a weaponized or manipulative way (22:10) How gender roles and stereotypes create additional shame and pressure for neurodivergent women (26:16) Tracy's brilliant tip for using ChatGPT as a digital support tool in divorce (30:58) Learn more about Tracy Otsuka: Tracy Otsuka, JD, LLM, AACC, ACC, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast.

In this powerful, long-form interview, Kristina Bauer returns to the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to share her in-depth story of surviving decades of misdiagnosed Lyme disease — from childhood illness and misdiagnoses to motherhood, advocacy, and remission. Diagnosed at age 40 after 32 years of medical dismissal, Kristina discusses her experience with congenital Lyme disease in her four children, postpartum Lyme flares, and her commitment to raising awareness through the Texas Lyme Alliance, Center for Lyme Action, and International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Ambassadorship. Her testimony covers essential ground: pediatric Lyme, maternal Lyme, psychiatric symptoms like Lyme rage, postpartum depression misdiagnosis, sexual transmission, and the need for insurance and diagnostic reform. This episode is a masterclass in Lyme disease education and empowerment, especially for women, mothers, and families navigating complex Lyme journeys. Key Topics Discussed Early Lyme Exposure: Tick bites at age 8 in Illinois and decades of misdiagnosis (juvenile arthritis, Crohn's, ulcers) Chronic Symptoms: Sinus infections, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), fibromyalgia, neurological and psychiatric symptoms Postpartum Lyme Flares: Crushing fatigue, misdiagnosed postpartum depression, and suicidal ideation risk Congenital Lyme Disease: How all four of her children were born with Lyme and are now in remission Mental Health Awareness: Lyme rage, mood swings, panic attacks, and the importance of therapy Tick-Borne Disease Advocacy: Legislative work in Texas, ILADS, educating OB-GYNs, and pushing for proper diagnostic protocols Medical System Failures: Inadequate Lyme testing, gaslighting, high insurance costs for chronic illness Lyme & Pregnancy Research Study: An open call for pregnant individuals diagnosed with Lyme disease during their current pregnancy, OR with post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) in the past 5 years.

Story at-a-glance UTIs are one of the most overdiagnosed conditions in U.S. medicine, especially in seniors who often receive antibiotics without showing any infection symptoms Even in hospital settings, studies show overdiagnosis rates as high as 85% in some states, with three-quarters of patients labeled with UTIs lacking matching symptoms Many urine tests used to diagnose UTIs, such as checking for cloudy appearance or bacteria alone, are unreliable and often lead to unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions Bacteria in the urine without symptoms is common in older adults and catheter users, yet it's frequently mistaken for infection and overtreated You can reduce your UTI risk by eliminating CAFO meats, especially CAFO chicken, which often contain UTI-causing E. coli, practicing better hygiene, using methylene blue, optimizing sun exposure, and grounding in the ocean to support cellular energy
