Send Vanessa a Text MessageNEW WEBSITE: https://intentionallywellpodcast.com/In this episode, I sit down with William Parker, PhD, a scientist with decades of research in biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology. Best known for discovering the function of the human appendix and as a leading researcher studying acetaminophen (Tylenol) and its impact on neurodevelopment, William shares his insights on a topic that has recently garnered widespread media attention and public discussion, sparking conversation around acetaminophen and autism risk.We explore:How acetaminophen interacts with the body during critical periods of developmentThe biological pathways connecting acetaminophen exposure to neurodevelopmental outcomesWhy this research matters to parents, caregivers, and anyone invested in child healthCommon questions, concerns, and rebuttals surrounding acetaminophen and autism riskThe gaps in pediatric education and medical literature that often leave these risks under-discussedThis episode is designed to break down complex science in a way that is understandable, actionable, and presented through a compassionate and logical lens. Whether you're a parent, healthcare professional, or just curious, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding of the evidence, the controversies, and the implications for children's health today.For those who'd like to explore Dr. Parker's research and related literature, here are the studies and resources mentioned in this episode:Acetaminophen and Autism: Evidence from a Systematic Review (MDPI, 2024)Mechanisms of Acetaminophen-Induced Neurodevelopmental Effects (MDPI, 2024)Preprint: Revisiting Acetaminophen and Autism—A Global Call for Reevaluation (2025)Preprint: Acetaminophen, Oxidative Stress, and Neurodevelopmental Risk (2025)Prevent Autism—Educational and Research ResourceEvidence That Acetaminophen Triggers Autism in Susceptible Individuals Has Been Ignored and Mishandled for More Than a Decade (RealClear Public Health, 2025)Connect with the show:Podcast on InstagramVanessa on InstagramPodcast on YouTubePodcast on TikTokPodcast on XEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the ShowIf this podcast has encouraged you and you'd like to help me continue sharing impactful content, you can support the show here:Support the Show© 2025 Vanessa Lopez, Intentionally Well Podcast.

Send us a textWe've got a fantastic guest with us today. Her name is Hannah Salazar, and she is both a therapist AND a professional school counselor. She also tutors new therapists as they work to pass their NCMHCE licensure exam. So, if you need one-on-one tutoring, send Hannah an email at: Info@TheGoodNeuron.com... and I'm sure she'll get you up to speed for your exam.Ever met a client whose childhood “quirks” suddenly became roadblocks at work, at home, or in relationships? We dig into the real-world nuances of neurodevelopmental disorders with therapist and school counselor Hannah Salazar. We unpack autism spectrum disorder through a brain-based lens—frontal networks, amygdala, cerebellum, and connectivity—so the social reciprocity gaps, nonverbal communication challenges, restricted interests, and stimming behaviors make sense instead of feeling mysterious or oppositional.From there, we map the edges: what actually separates ASD from ADHD, social anxiety, language disorder, and intellectual developmental disorder, and how to avoid false positives when culture shapes eye contact, tone, and social rules. You'll hear practical cues to look for when adult responsibilities outstrip old coping strategies, plus how to document onset, identify pervasiveness, and test hypotheses with empathy. We also touch on overlap with OCD and schizotypal personality disorder, highlighting distinctive patterns of sensory processing, developmental course, and social cognition that sharpen your diagnostic lens.If you're studying for the NCMHCE or refining your intake flow, this conversation offers concrete takeaways: translate criteria into behaviors, run a quick differential drill, and connect findings to supports—from visual structure and social scripts to academic testing and executive function scaffolds. Press play to sharpen judgment, reduce bias, and bring more clarity to clients who've waited years for a name that fits. If this helped your practice or your study plan, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more therapists can find it.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

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.

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.

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.

In this 246 in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss how Kamala Harris is presenting herself, and being presented, in the mainstream media, and whether there is any misinformation therein. Then: How the reductionist, scientistic approach to human health is making us less healthy, rather than more. Examples: California requires folic acid be added to tortillas and other masa products (“it's an equity issue”), and fluoride in municipal water supplies is recognized as a correlate of lower childhood IQs.
