Podcasts about neurodevelopment

In a world where chronic illness is skyrocketing and people are spending thousands on supplements and labs with little relief, what if we've been focusing on the wrong thing? In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthesis Health Lab, to talk about a radically different — and incredibly effective — approach to healing. Instead of chasing symptoms or optimizing labs, Mel focuses on repairing the foundation of the nervous system and working with the first principles of health. The result? A 50%+ reduction in symptoms for many chronic illness sufferers without endless supplements or constant testing. Mel blends ancient healing wisdom with modern neuroscience and has helped thousands recover from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, and more — especially those who felt like they had “tried everything.”

If you work with clients who have pain, movement issues, or developmental challenges, this episode will shift how you think about the brain's role in all of it. Robert Melillo, Ph.D., is the founder of the Brain Balance Centers and Melillo Method and has decades of experience helping kids and adults with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and anxiety overcome challenges thought to be permanent. He joins us to talk about functional neurology, primitive reflexes, and the deep patterns that shape human performance, behavior, and healing. We discuss: What retained primitive reflexes tell us about brain development Why many chronic issues are rooted in brain asymmetries, not injuries How interoception and proprioception affect movement, speech, and emotion Tests Dr. Melillo uses to assess brain function and nervous system maturity  The surprising overlaps between autism, athletic potential, and chronic pain Functional imbalances in the brain aren't permanent—and they're more common than most realize. Whether you're working with kids, athletes, or adults in pain, this episode will equip you to see root causes more clearly and give you new tools and hope.

Hey guys, hey!

In this episode, we explore the critical role of serotonin in shaping sensory maps within the brain, a process vital for interpreting sensory input and navigating the world. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator synthesized from the aromatic amino acid tryptophan, influences brain development by fine-tuning sensory systems. It modulates neuronal growth, synaptic connections, and plasticity, which are essential for creating accurate sensory maps in regions like the somatosensory cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex. These maps serve as blueprints for processing touch, vision, and sound, with serotonin regulating the pruning of connections in the thalamus and cortex to ensure precise sensory wiring.The episode also explores the broader biological implications of serotonin, emphasizing its role in both prenatal and postnatal development. Maternally derived serotonin, supplied via the placenta from the peripheral and enteric nervous systems, significantly influences fetal brain development, affecting proliferation, differentiation, and neuronal migration in sensory regions. Postnatally, serotonin continues to support sensory integration and mood regulation, working alongside oxytocin to facilitate bonding and stress buffering. We explore environmental factors, such as stress and modern lighting, on serotonin synthesis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates cortisol release.

Physician and psychologist Heidi Feldman is a pioneer in the field of developmental behavioral pediatrics who says that the world's understanding of childhood disability is changing and so too are the ways we approach it. Where once institutionalization was common, today we find integrative, family-centered approaches, charting a more humane, hopeful path forward. For example, for children born prematurely with increased likelihood of disability, increasing skin-to-skin contact – what is called  “kangaroo care” – can literally reshape that child's brain development, she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Send us a textThe journey of raising a child with a critical congenital heart defect (CCHD) involves navigating far more than just medical challenges. Behind every heart surgery and cardiology appointment lies a complex web of developmental considerations that can profoundly shape a child's future.Dr. Dawn Ilardi, a clinical neuropsychologist with over 16 years of experience in cardiac neurodevelopment, brings clarity to this often-overlooked aspect of heart care. Unlike typical developmental patterns, children with CCHDs may present with scattered strengths and weaknesses that don't fit neatly into standard diagnostic categories. While some may develop recognizable conditions like ADHD, autism, or dyslexia, others show unique profiles that require specialized understanding.The conversation explores the fascinating heart-brain connection, revealing how brain development begins simultaneously with heart formation during fetal development. Structural heart defects can affect blood flow patterns to the developing brain, while surgical interventions carry risks of small strokes or other brain injuries. For parents wondering why their child struggles with handwriting, speech delays, or learning difficulties despite excellent medical care, this discussion provides crucial insights.Particularly compelling is the discussion about balancing protection with developmental progress. How do you navigate the tension between keeping a medically fragile child safe while ensuring they develop age-appropriate skills and independence? Dr. Ilardi offers practical strategies for finding this balance, emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive "village" around both the child and parents.Whether you're a parent, medical professional, or educator working with heart warriors, this profound conversation will transform your understanding of the developmental journey these remarkable children face. Most importantly, you'll discover pathways to help them reach their full potential through multisensory learning approaches, compensatory strategies, and family-centered support.Helpful Links:Christy Pace's CHD Connects Hearts: https://chdconnectshearts.com/homeDawn Ilardi's other Heart to Heart with Anna Appearances:Unlocking Neurodevelopmental Breakthroughs: Impact of CHDs and Parental Influence https://www.buzzsprout.com/62761/episodes/15872291What is Normal Child Development in Children with Complex Congenital Heart Defects? https://tinyurl.com/DawnIlardi2014  Dr. Ilardi's website: https://www.pedneurocenter.com  Dr. Ilardi's email: DawnIlardi@pedneurocenter.comGastrointestinal Issues and Feeding Tubes in the CHD Community: https://www.buzzsprout.com/62761/episodes/1999819Sheri Turner is our newest Defender Patron and she also serves as a HUG Volunteer.

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is hopeful about a federal disaster declaration following Friday evening's deadly tornado outbreak that killed at least 12 people. Governor Kehoe says the destruction from the tornado outbreak is growing. Governor Kehoe says the tornadoes destroyed 368 houses and caused major damage to another 366 homes. Governor Kehoe also says that about 8,000 Missourians remain without power. That's down from 47,000 on Monday. Crews from Ameren Missouri and numerous other utilities have been working around-the-clock to try to restore power. U.S. Rep. Bob Onder (R), who represents Columbia, Jefferson City, Fulton and Kingdom City on Capitol Hill, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Congressman Onder tells listeners that he's confident that President Trump will issue a federal disaster declaration, adding that he, U.S. Rep. Jason Smith (R-Salem) and others will participate in a conference call this morning with the governor about the tornado damage. Congressman Onder says Friday evening's tornado blew a big chunk of his roof off his home in St. Charles County. Congressman Onder says there were many power outages and hail damage in his sprawling district. Congressman Onder will be in Columbia later this morning to tour MU Health Care's Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopment. Congressman Onder praises the work the Thompson Center is doing. He also discussed other issues on Capitol Hill, and tells listeners that Democrats are in disarray and are on the wrong side of issues like transgender bills and the issue of women's sports:

Humans are an intensely social species. We experience social interactions as rewarding from infancy, and the social cognitive skills that we develop in the context of our earliest interpersonal attachments are critical for our survival and personal well being. Lack of social connection is common in many psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. In some disorders, like autism spectrum disorder, social cognition and social interaction impairments are the defining, core feature. Yet, despite the importance of social functioning in humans, our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms that regulate social behavior is limited. This lecture will describe the roles of two neuropeptides, oxytocin and vasopressin, in the regulation of social behavior in animals, and how findings from this research are providing fundamental insights into human social disorders, with a particular focus on vasopressin and autism spectrum disorder.

Dr. Hieshetter praises independent researchers who pioneer studies leading us away from pharmaceuticals and government-backed data, providing invaluable insights into the human body's interconnected systems. This episode unpacks the bidirectional communication between the gut and brain. Dr. Hieshetter weaves through complex concepts such as the role of neurotransmitters, immune pathways, and short-chain fatty acids, elucidating how gut microorganisms influence systemic health. Listeners are introduced to compelling clinical examples, emphasizing the life-changing potential of a well-balanced gut microbiome for individuals suffering from chronic ailments. Through an exploration of these themes, Dr. Hieshetter reinforces the episode's core message: "fixing the gut can fix everything," urging audiences to embrace probiotics for optimal health outcomes. Key Takeaways: Understanding the gut-brain axis is essential for improving brain development, immune function, and hormonal signaling. Gut microorganisms produce neurotransmitters and anti-inflammatory compounds, crucial for neurodevelopmental health, particularly in ADHD and autism. Dysbiosis, or bacterial imbalance, can lead to leaky gut syndrome and chronic inflammation, affecting overall health and brain function. Short-chain fatty acids produced by gut microbes play a pivotal role in healing gut epithelial injuries and regulating immune responses. It is imperative to choose high-quality probiotics from reputable sources to ensure their efficacy and impact on health. Notable Quotes: "If you're an adult who struggles with ADHD and have your entire life, it may have simply been the fact that your gut was not colonized with the right microorganisms when you were born." "Fixing the gut can fix everything." "Your gut interacts with your brain through various physiological processes." "When you have the right gut microbiome, you inhibit neuroinflammation in your children." "Please, for the love of God, do not get your probiotics from Amazon."

Today, Ali and Asif continue their discussion about the 50th season of Saturday Night Live by discussing the recent movie “Saturday Night” (3:21). They discuss the fast paced format of the movie, which takes place in real time in the 90 minutes before the SNL premiere on Oct 11, 1975. They also chat about the spectacular cast and what is and what is not true in the movie. They guys then watch and give their opinions on the actual first episode of SNL.    Then, because Robert F Kennedy Jr. has been in the news as of late, they discuss his (and others) concerns about fluoride in drinking water (18:33). Asif starts off discussing what fluoride is, how it fights cavities and the history of why it was introduced to drinking water. Ali then asks about the adverse effects of high fluoride and Asif discusses the dental and skeletal issues. He then goes over the arguments against fluoridation. Finally he discusses a recent report about low IQ being associated with high fluoride levels and why this is likely NOT a cause for worry for the majority of people.    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

Send us a textWhy is the brain's role in immune regulation often overlooked compared to its control over the gut and hormones? Join us on Funkbed Nation as we tackle this thought-provoking question with our esteemed guests, experts Peter and Rob. Together, we navigate the intriguing concept of immunosception and its vital influence on neuroimmune communication, drawing from the groundbreaking research of Kevin Tracy. As we explore the brain's impact on the immune system, we raise awareness about the critical role of neuroimmune interactions and the potential "immuno homunculus," a proposed map of these connections.Our discussion extends into the fascinating realms of interoception and brain lateralization. We uncover how the brain perceives internal bodily states to maintain homeostasis, linking these perceptions to emotional and developmental experiences. Discover how right-brain development during early childhood can influence immune function and self-tolerance, with potential implications for understanding conditions like autism and autoimmune diseases. Peter and Rob share clinical insights, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that values clinical presentations over standard lab tests in diagnosing immune-related issues.The episode concludes with an exploration of the insular cortex and its role in neuroimmune interactions. We shed light on the challenges of interpreting immune responses through lab tests, especially for complex conditions. By examining real-life case studies and the intricacies of brain-immune communication, we aim to inspire Functional Medicine practitioners to deepen their understanding of this interconnected system. Join us for an enlightening conversation that bridges neuroscience and immunology, encouraging a more integrated approach to health and healing.You can listen to the Inflammation Nation podcast on Apple Spotify and all other major podcast platform You can also watch on YouTube.

Dr. Ari Calhoun is a perinatal and pediatric naturopathic doctor and mother of two.  She is the owner and director of Wholesome Brain Medicine, focusing on optimizing neurodevelopment and emotional regulation from the womb onward. As an adjunct faculty of the Medical Academy of Pediatrics, she is a passionate speaker and advocate on the importance of a biomedical approach toward neurodevelopmental disorders. She is licensed by the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine, holds a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in San Diego, California, and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Minor in Clinical Nutrition Sciences from Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.   Together Dr. Ari and I dive into the many ways that practitioners can take a proactive stance on prenatal and neurodevelopmental care to support the high-risk profiles of their patients. She shares tactics for mitigating risk and supporting proactive prenatal and neurodevelopmental care through nutrients. She highlights research behind anti-brain antibodies in pregnant moms, details folate receptor antibodies, offers lab recommendations, and explores the need for dairy in most diets. Ari also covers the risks associated with maternal infections, the supplements and lab tests that she recommends for her patients, and the danger of a zinc-copper imbalance. Ari has a wealth of information on these lesser-known topics, and our conversation is filled with a variety of clinical pearls that practitioners can use to help support parents as they navigate prenatal and postpartum care as well as for children with autism.

Shannon Rosa and Carol Ann Greenburg are parent-professionals and partners in developing and sharing their on-line resource, A Thinking Person's Guide to Autism, one of the very first resources to provide valuable information to the autistic and neurodivergent communities. In their own words, the mission of TPGA is to be a a one-stop source for carefully curated, evidence-based, neurodiversity-steeped information from autistic people, parents, and autism professionals. They emphasize that autism acceptance is not merely noble but necessary—and are separate matters from the autistic and other autism communities' never-ending fights for medical, legal, social, and educational accommodation. The goal of TPGA is “to help  fast-forward past society's rampant autism fabrications and negativity, by providing clear, thoughtfully presented, balanced, and referenced information”.  Barry and Dave discuss TPGA in the context of Shannon and Carol's experiences as parents, and as advocates for the autistic community.
