Podcasts about Palsy

Today, we’re joined by Coby and Cory Cotton of Dude Perfect, who share how a simple idea filmed in a backyard with friends grew into videos watched by millions around the world on YouTube. They reflect on the early days of creating trick shots just for fun, the challenges that came with unexpected success, and a medical emergency that reminded them to slow down and make room for what matters most. Next, we hear from author and grief counselor Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, who shares how losing her golden retriever, Bailey, opened her eyes to the depths of pet grief, the memories that remain, and the love we carry after saying goodbye.

So many people have been so hurt by other people. How kind of God to sprinkle ambassadors of His grace all across this planet in the form of animals. God is constantly pointing us to animals throughout Scripture, encouraging us to look to the eagle, to look to the lion who He feeds, to look to the ant who’s busy at work.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Animals are the ones that we can be 100% ourselves with. They show up for us on the good days and the bad days and are as impressed by us when we feel like we have it all together and when we’ve just fallen on our face. I really do think it is a beautiful picture of God’s love and His feelings toward us that we don’t have to try to clean ourselves up to come to Him. He just loves us as we are and just desires for us to be present with Him.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I discovered firsthand that God is not afraid of our questions and that He will hold us through them.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I think it’s vitally important for us, especially as believers, to honor the grief that people feel when they’ve lost a pet. It is such a kindness and a gift to hold space for someone who is grieving, to be a compassionate witness and just say, ‘I see you and I’m going to stay here with you in the hurt and in the heavy.’” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Invite people to invite us into their pain and then to weep with them, to stand with them in that pain, to sit with them, and then gently start to walk with them toward the light of healing.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

In this episode of the Brain & Life Podcast, co-host Dr. Daniel Correa is joined by actress, comedian, playwright, and storyteller Lauren Weedman. Lauren discusses her diagnosis of Bell's palsy after developing a sudden facial paralysis while filming in 2024 and how it changed her outlooks on work, motherhood, and mental health. Dr. Correa is then joined by Dr. Gary Gronseth, Professor and Chair of Neurology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Dr. Gronseth explains what Bell's palsy is, why it happens, what recovery typically looks like, and why some people—like Lauren Weedman—continue to experience lasting symptoms long after the initial diagnosis.   Additional Resources "This Is a Good Face": Lauren Weedman on Life After Bell's Palsy Bouncing Back from Bell's Palsy What Doctors Know About Bell's Palsy   Brain & Life Podcast Episodes on Similar Topics Playwright Sarah Ruhl Finds Inspiration in her Bell's Palsy Journey   We want to hear from you!

This episode is quite the opposite of what we found in the book of Job. Job's "friends" were not faithful to God or to Job and in fact they turned against him and proved that they were not true friends in the end.This story is about 4 friends who went to great effort to help a friend in need. So much so, that they tore apart the roof of someone's house.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week, We'll hear from a comedian and unapologetic voice weaving together disability rights and Palestinian identity with humor and sharp political insight. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters. Become a supporting member at https://LauraFlanders.org/Donate Description [Original Release Date December 8, 2024]:  Israel's US-backed war on Gaza has been a mass disabling event. Today's guest says we must create a “viable, accessible future” for the disabled Palestinians we have failed. Maysoon Zayid is a comedian, Princeton Fellow, and unapologetic voice for both disability rights and Palestinian identity. A fierce advocate with cerebral palsy, Zaid proves that the most powerful messages often come from unexpected places and are filled with laughter. She's lost tens of thousands of dollars of contracts for her views, she says, but that hasn't stopped her “making funny during a genocide” on social media all year. And she's shown her followers her home village in Palestine — the best place on earth, she says, despite the onslaught of oppression and violence that her people have endured. Maysoon co-founded the New York Arab American Comedy Festival and the Muslim Funny Fest. Her viral Ted Talk, “I Got 99 Problems...Palsy is Just One,” has been translated into 42 languages, and was one of the most popular talks of 2014. She's the author of “Shiny Misfits”, the new graphic novel that tells the story of Bay Ann, a disabled girl and her cat friend that rock star Dave Matthews narrates for the audiobook. In this conversation filled with heart and humor, hear how comedy shines a light on injustice and serves as a voice of resistance. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on human shields. “I've always used comedy to humanize and educate on disability. And this is the moment because the future of Palestine is disabled and between life and death, there's disability. I don't think it's better to be dead than to be disabled. I want us to create a viable, accessible future for this cohort of human beings that we have failed in the present.” - Maysoon Zayid Guest:  Maysoon Zayid: Comedian & Disability Advocate; Author, Shiny Misfits   Music Credits:  “Purpose Love” by Jhelisa released on Dorado Records;  "Steppin'" by Podington Bear;  Original sound design by Jeannie Hopper RESOURCES: Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country  Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes: • “The Future is Disabled”: Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

In Season 10, Episode 6 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker sits down with endurance athlete, motivational speaker, and disability advocate Kyle Pease, alongside his brother Brent Pease, for one of the most inspiring conversations of the season. This episode explores identity, cerebral palsy, men's mental health, self-worth, emotional resilience, disability awareness, and the dangerous labels society places on people. If you've ever struggled with comparison, insecurity, confidence, purpose, or wondering whether your past defines your future, this conversation is for you.The episode centers around one powerful idea: "It's not what you're called—it's what you answer to." From childhood labels to adulthood expectations, Izzy and the Pease brothers discuss how words like disabled, handicapped, athlete, successful, failure, or even "strong" can quietly shape the way people see themselves. Instead of allowing labels to become limitations, they explain how purpose, faith, and perseverance can redefine identity from the inside out.Kyle shares what life has been like growing up with cerebral palsy, overcoming assumptions about what he would never accomplish, and becoming one of the most recognizable endurance athletes in adaptive sports. Brent opens up about supporting his brother throughout life, discovering purpose through service, and how their relationship eventually led them to complete more than 150 endurance races together, including Ironman competitions. Their story becomes less about disability and more about brotherhood, resilience, and refusing to allow circumstances to dictate destiny.The conversation also explores comparison culture, fitness, social media, self-confidence, and why so many men unintentionally build their entire identity around careers, athletic achievements, money, popularity, or physical appearance. Izzy reflects on his own journey with Bell's Palsy, weight loss, and learning to separate who he is from what he does. Together, the group discusses how identity rooted in performance often leads to anxiety, burnout, depression, and emotional instability when life inevitably changes.Throughout the episode, the discussion dives into men's mental health, emotional resilience, therapy, disability representation, family support, loneliness, fitness culture, endurance sports, purpose, and faith. Drawing from current mental health research alongside personal testimony, the conversation challenges listeners to stop allowing labels, criticism, diagnoses, or past experiences to determine who they become. Instead, they argue that true confidence comes from understanding your purpose rather than seeking validation from the opinions of others.Season 10 continues to challenge the conversations men often avoid. Whether you've wrestled with comparison, insecurity, disability, emotional pressure, identity, or simply wondering if your life has a greater purpose, this episode offers practical wisdom and genuine encouragement to keep moving forward. Because sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the label someone else places on you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Every medical treatment needs to start with a diagnosis, but sometimes that diagnosis proves elusive. Sometimes it may appear that a person has one thing needing treatment, and after that treatment doesn't work, doctors have to consider other possibilities. Dr. Amit Kochhar at Pacific Neuroscience Institute sees patients with facial paralysis, which is often diagnosed as Bell's Palsy or Ramsey Hunt Syndrome—but sometimes turns out to be a cancerous tumor on a facial nerve. Doctors try to figure that out as quickly as possible, so they can remove the tumor and begin the work of restoring the patient's appearance. In today's episode, Dr. Kochhar describes these various symptoms and explains how he reaches the right diagnosis and treatment for his patients.

AbstractThis article explores the often-overlooked tragedy of promising happiness through overcoming disability. It draws on qualitative interviews and focus groups with 36 adults with cerebral palsy to explore how medical discourse shapes the ways in which individuals are encouraged to pursue a good life, leading to unintended consequences. Sara Ahmed's theory of happiness is used to understand the dialectics of pursuing a good life through overcoming disability, revealing how medical interventions and discourse during childhood inadvertently contribute to feelings of inferiority and social alienation. The article highlights the need to reconsider how individuals with disabilities are encouraged to pursue a good life, emphasizing the paradox of disabling effects arising from attempts to minimize and overcome disability.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027795362500098X

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share the case of a Navy SEAL candidate with severe scapular winging and progressive serratus anterior paralysis after months of failed treatment. I walk through the anatomy of the long thoracic nerve and serratus anterior in detail, including the entrapment sites, fascial relationships, and neural connections that can completely change how you assess and treat these cases. I also share how integrating neural manipulation, visceral treatment, mobility work, and targeted strengthening helped this athlete regain function far faster than expected.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The most common entrapment locations for the long thoracic nerve and why they matter clinicallyHow cervical compression, thoracic outlet mechanics, and breathing patterns may contribute to scapular wingingWhy upward rotation mobility is just as important as strengthening in serratus anterior rehabPractical strategies for restoring upward rotation strength, scapular control, and thoracic mobilityThis case is a great example of why treating the body as a whole organism instead of isolating a single muscle or diagnosis can completely change clinical outcomes. Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 99: Navigating The Complex Case Of Diaphragm ParalysisMy Online Course I Mentioned - The Nerve Workshop with Missy Bunch and Anna HartmanMy Online Shoulder Course - Never Treat The Shoulder FirstLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

Time toxicity and shared decision-making in cerebral palsyDavid B Frumberg, Paige T Church, Nathan RosenbergPMID: 41387091 DOI: 10.1111/dmcn.70123AbstractClinicians and families regularly enter into a process of shared decision-making. Seldom, if ever, however, is the critical question of time usage, or, more specifically, time-related burdens, accounted for when establishing goals and outcome measures. Time-related burdens are not included, for instance, as an outcome measure in cerebral palsy research-something which may have profound effects about which we are unaware. By contrast, in the field of oncology, time-related burdens, or, more technically, what has been termed time toxicity, has been increasingly studied. Building on that work, we seek to apply the concept of time toxicity to people with disabilities who interface with healthcare at great frequency.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41387091/

Longitudinal decline in upper-limb range of motion in adults with cerebral palsyErika Cloodt, Jenny Hedberg-Graff, Anna Lindgren, Marianne Arner, Evgenia Manousaki, Katina Pettersson, Elisabet Rodby-BousquetAbstractAim: To analyse longitudinal changes in passive range of motion (ROM) in the upper limb in adults with cerebral palsy (CP).Method: Passive ROM for shoulder abduction and flexion, supination, and elbow and wrist extension was analysed in a longitudinal cohort of adults aged 16 to 76 years from the Swedish CP registry. Individual ROM trajectories and mean ROM curves were calculated using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). A mixed-effects model was used to examine changes over 3 to 13 years 7 months.Results: In total, 1395 adults with CP were analysed (769 males, 626 females; median age 26 years). A continuous decline in shoulder ROM, supination, and wrist extension was observed across all MACS levels. Decline rates differed between MACS levels for shoulder flexion, elbow extension, and wrist extension, with steeper declines at higher MACS levels (levels IV and V). Adults classified in lower MACS levels (I and II) had greater initial ROM and slower declines compared to adults classified in higher MACS levels.Interpretation: Upper-limb ROM continuously declined in adults with CP, particularly at higher MACS levels. The varied decline rates highlight the need for tailored interventions and systematic follow-up to maintain ROM and functional ability, especially among individuals at higher risk.

Another one of my favourite kinds of stories; a mother sherlocking her children's symptoms! Jane shares some really special stories of resolving her son's growing pains, nighttime congestion, as well as a super cool solve of Bell's Palsy facial paralysis! She also tells us about her daughter's aggressive constellation over being misunderstood. We get a great example of both the outward aggressive outbursts as well as inward aggressive behaviours such as nail biting and skin picking. We also get some sweet insight into her newborn baby's acne and sneezing. And finally, she tells us about how she used GNM to help her friend's kids resolve an ongoing cough.It is so incredible to hear how this German New Medicine can give us such an in depth insight into our children's lives and help them resolve symptoms before they become chronic. So many good lessons here, thank you Jane:)

This week’s episode is equal parts chaotic, honest, and deeply meaningful as Morgan is joined by her sister Taylor and her 11-week-old niece, Collyns for a special holiday week conversation. Taylor opens up about becoming a first-time mom, what no one truly prepares you for after birth, and how motherhood reshapes everything. From marriage and identity to sleep, patience, and trust in your own instincts. They talk candidly about pregnancy plans going out the window, postpartum realities, breastfeeding struggles, Bell’s Palsy in the midst of recovery, and the emotional weight of those early weeks that don’t get talked about enough. From choosing the right partner, navigating life with dogs and a newborn, and leaning on community, to trusting your “mom gut” and tuning out outside noise, this episode is an honest look at what it really means to bring a life into the world. It’s a sister conversation filled with love, laughter, tears, baby noises, and perspective for anyone who’s a mom, hopes to be one someday, or just wants a deeper understanding of this season of life.
