What if some of the most disabling symptoms in EDS, HSD, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and long COVID are being driven by something we still struggle to see on standard testing? In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by guest co-host Dr. Ina Stephens, Associate Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorder Center, along with Brain Inflammation Collaborative co-founder Christy Jagdfeld and neuroscientist Dr. Megan Fitzgerald. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving science of brain inflammation, including what it actually means, how it differs from conditions like encephalitis or brain edema, and why it may matter in complex multisystem illness. The conversation dives into microglial activation, mast cell involvement in the central nervous system, and the challenge of detecting subtle neuroinflammation in living patients. The guests also discuss emerging research tools, including ultra-high-field MRI, PET ligands, and blood-based extracellular vesicles, that may eventually give clinicians a clearer window into what is happening inside the brain. The group also takes a closer look at the Brain Inflammation Collaborative's Unhide platform, which is collecting real-world, patient-reported data across more than 30 overlapping chronic conditions, including EDS, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and long COVID. Early findings raise important questions about quality of life, symptom burden, the limitations of the Beighton score, and why pediatric research may be especially important. The episode closes with practical implications, including why pacing matters when exercise can worsen symptoms rather than improve them, and what patients and clinicians should watch as this field moves forward. Takeaways “Brain inflammation” can involve subtle processes such as microglial activation and mast cell signaling that may not appear on routine MRI or CT scans. Emerging tools such as ultra-high-field MRI, PET imaging, and blood-based extracellular vesicles may eventually help researchers detect and track neuroinflammation in living patients. The Unhide platform has collected real-world data from thousands of participants with overlapping chronic conditions, offering a new way to study symptom burden and quality of life outside traditional clinical trials. The Beighton score may not reflect functional severity or symptom burden, highlighting the need for better ways to assess hypermobility over time. Pediatric research is urgently needed to understand how these conditions develop and whether earlier recognition could change long-term outcomes.

What happens when a routine childhood cold turns your sweet eight-year-old into a full-blown horror movie scene overnight? Sickboy royalty Jessica Slice returns to the show for an intimate, terrifying, and wildly eye-opening conversation about the nightmare her family lived through when her daughter suddenly stopped walking, lost her speech, and entered a state of extreme, violent psychosis.When ER doctors brushed off her daughter's sudden motor tics with a casual "kids are weird" and offered to throw an eight-year-old into an adult psych ward alongside an adult roommate, Jessica refused to take broken systems for an answer. Enter PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) - a controversial, deeply misunderstood condition where a basic infection triggers an immune response that crosses the blood-brain barrier and sets off neuroinflammation in the brain.From mysterious motor spasms to stealth trips across the border for IVIG treatment, Jessica gives us a raw, unfiltered look at relentless maternal advocacy, medical gaslighting, and the fight to save her daughter's mind.For physician-vetted resources on PANS/PANDAS or to follow Jessica's writing and advocacy work, check out the links below:https://www.pandasppn.org/https://jessicaslice.comFollow Sickboy: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SickboyPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl go in search of the facts beneath healthcare's biggest headlines. Today's show opens with one of the hottest and least understood medical topics: experimental peptides. Pearl explains that an FDA advisory committee narrowly recommended allowing compounding pharmacies to provide six experimental peptides to patients. This is not the same as traditional FDA approval. Rather than reviewing a drug through the usual three-phase clinical trial process, the recommendation would allow suppliers to provide peptide ingredients that compounding pharmacies could use to fill prescriptions. Pearl then explains why this distinction matters. If the FDA follows the committee's recommendation, many patients may assume the peptides have been vetted like other approved medications. He warns that this could leave the nation in a medical gray zone, with broad access but little rigorous evidence on safety, effectiveness, dosing or long-term risk. The episode then turns to several follow-up stories and new medical developments, including the cyclospora outbreak, CDC leadership, pediatric e-bike injuries, AI-designed viruses, Ebola, mRNA flu vaccines and the continuing politicization of vaccine policy: The cyclospora outbreak appears to be slowing, but the total case count remains high and the exact source has not been fully confirmed. Erica Schwartz has been confirmed as CDC director, becoming the agency's first full-time leader in a year. Pearl says Schwartz has strong credentials but will face major challenges, including depleted agency staffing, infectious disease outbreaks and political pressure around vaccines. Pediatric e-scooter and e-bike injuries surpassed 2,000 incidents from 2020 to 2024, according to data from Johns Hopkins researchers. Pearl warns that more states may need to restrict use among young children. AI can design viruses that do not currently exist in nature, a new Stanford study showed. This opens possibilities for new treatments but also raising biosecurity concerns. Pearl says the technology could one day help fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, but it also raises concerns about bad actors. Ebola is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with more than 1,500 deaths and a mortality rate estimated at 40% to 50%. The FDA approved the first mRNA flu vaccine, developed by Moderna, for adults 50 and older. Pearl explains that mRNA technology could improve flu vaccination by allowing scientists to update vaccines closer to the arrival of each year's viral strain. The episode closes with Pearl's strongest warning: medical decisions made on politics rather than science lead to harm. He points to President Trump's executive order changing childhood vaccine recommendations and encouraging separation of the MMR vaccine into individual measles, mumps and rubella shots. Pearl says there is no scientific evidence supporting the president's claim that the combined MMR vaccine may be dangerous, while numerous studies show it is safe, effective and lifesaving. His conclusion: when scientific evidence is overwhelming, leaders need a compelling scientific reason to deviate from it. Whether the subject is experimental peptides, AI-designed viruses, mRNA vaccines or childhood immunization, medicine cannot protect patients if politics replaces data.

If bedtime in your house feels like a nightly negotiation, or you're the one lying in the dark at 2 a.m. wondering why nothing seems to work, this conversation is for you. Pediatric sleep consultant Allison Ezell spent years stuck between a sleep doctor telling her to sleep train and a TBRI therapist affirming the trauma-informed parenting she knew her son needed, unable to find anyone who could bridge the two. She eventually became the person she needed, and she's bringing that hard-won wisdom to us today. What We Cover in This Episode The two building blocks of sleep science, sleep associations and sleep pressure, and why understanding sleep associations alone resolves most of the sleep struggles Allison sees. The difference between "putting a child to sleep" and "putting a child to bed," and why that distinction matters most for kids who wake in the middle of the night. A practical bedtime routine built around what a body actually needs to fall asleep: sensory input earlier in the evening, a warm bath or shower, real connection, and a small snack. How to build felt safety around bedtime fears through repeated, low-pressure exposure, and a gradual pullback method for weaning off sleep associations without a jarring overnight switch. A consistent, scripted response for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, plus the red flags (frequent waking, restless legs, long sleep onset, excessive daytime sleepiness) that mean it's time to talk to a doctor.

When a child presents with sleep-disordered breathing, chronic mouth breathing, or persistent feeding challenges, evaluating the upper airway becomes a top priority. However, determining when conservative management is sufficient versus when surgical intervention - like a tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy - is required can be complex for both parents and providers.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin sits down with pediatric ENT specialist Dr. Ariel Grobman to break down the clinical nuances of pediatric airway evaluation. Dr. Grobman shares expert insights into physical examination techniques, the practical role of nasoendoscopy, and when sleep studies are truly necessary versus when visual and functional markers dictate action.Together, they explore post-surgical recovery expectations, adenoid regrowth, secondary causes of nasal obstruction like enlarged turbinates, and the critical link between airway dysfunction, ear infections, and feeding difficulties. Dr. Grobman also emphasizes the essential role of interdisciplinary collaboration between ENTs, myofunctional therapists, and airway-focused orthodontists.About the Guest: Ariel Grobman, MDDr. Ariel Grobman is a board-certified Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon) specializing in pediatric and adult airway management, sinus disorders, and head and neck surgery.

(This episode originally aired on February 3, 2026. Stay tuned towards the end of the conversation for an update on the state of pediatric hospitals midway through 2026.) Pediatric hospitals are one of the most important segments in the industry to watch right now. Although children's hospitals make up only 5% of total hospital market share, more than 40% of U.S. children rely on Medicaid, leaving pediatric organizations disproportionately exposed as the Medicaid-related provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect. The pressures inside pediatric care were mounting even before this moment. After years of outperforming adult hospitals, children's hospitals have seen margins fall from double digits to just 1% last year. Rising bad debt, higher supply and labor costs, a rapid shift toward lower margin outpatient care, and emerging challenges like declining birth rates and vaccine policy upheaval have created a perfect financial storm. While some of these dynamics are unique to pediatrics, the sector also offers an early warning signal for the rest of healthcare — and an opportunity to translate lessons across both worlds. In this episode, host Abby Burns and Advisory Board expert Vidal Seegobin break down why pediatric leaders must simultaneously manage immediate-term margin pressure, prepare for a more ambulatory-dominant model, and futureproof their organizations amid shifting demographics. Vidal also shares actionable steps leaders can take now, along with the critical lessons pediatric hospitals offer the wider healthcare ecosystem.

The Outbreak With over 17,000 cases reported across the U.S., a massive Cyclospora outbreak has taken center stage in public health news, marking it as the third-largest foodborne outbreak in modern American history (behind the 1994 Schwan’s ice cream salmonella outbreak and the 1985 Illinois milk outbreak). Infection causes gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, bloating, nausea and sometimes vomiting.  So, what's actually driving this surge? Is it safe to eat salad? Pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Dean Blumberg joins us to break down the science behind the “explosive” symptoms, separate real outbreak epicenters from everyday travel cases, and when to test and treat. Transmission & Geography  Mechanism: Cyclospora is a parasite. It is often transmitted via produce contaminated with sewage or irrigation water.  Not Person-to-Person: Requires ~1 week in the environment to mature and become infectious.  Regional Risk: The epicenter for this outbreak is in the Midwest, related to processed lettuce distribution networks. Outside affected regions, cases remain at expected baseline levels (primarily tied to international travel). Fresh produce consumption remains safe.  Pathophysiology & Presentation  Cellular Damage: Cyclospora infects and kills small intestine epithelial cells, impairing fluid absorption and causing unabsorbed carbohydrates to ferment into gas.  Symptoms: Large-volume, gas-driven “explosive” diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and cramping. Fever is rare; vomiting is variable.  Duration: Unlike viral gastroenteritis (1–3 days), untreated Cyclospora can linger for weeks and frequently waxes and wanes. Diagnostic Strategy Routine “O&P x3” tests are obsolete—use multiplex PCR panels (e.g., GI BioFire).  When to Test: Symptoms lasting >5–7 days, high-risk patients (infants

Building a family chiropractic practice starts with the doctor's certainty about why children belong under care. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna explore how personal conviction, pediatric adjusting skills, patient education, and the physical environment of the practice all influence whether families naturally see chiropractic as part of their children's health. They unpack what changes when doctors become more confident caring for kids, learn to communicate the body's capacity to adapt and heal, and make the practice visibly welcoming to families. When your philosophy, communication, clinical confidence, and patient experience all tell the same story, parents are more likely to understand why pediatric care belongs in the practice and feel comfortable bringing their children in. Key Highlights 02:07 – A real-life example Dr. Andrew uses to open conversations with parents about chiropractic care for their children. 04:10 – Seeing health through your own children can deepen the way you communicate chiropractic philosophy to other parents. 07:08 – A different way to think about symptoms when the body is actively trying to adapt and heal. 10:31 – The question every doctor should ask about whether their own health choices match what they teach patients. 11:48 – Helping children develop a healthier relationship with their bodies may begin with the language they hear at home. 14:25 – Watch what happens when pediatric care becomes visible enough in the practice that adult patients start asking questions on their own. 15:22 – Before trying to attract more kids, there is one level of certainty the doctor has to develop first. 16:09 – Clinical confidence with children can be built, and there are practical ways to start strengthening that skill set. 19:46 – Once the doctor is ready, the next step is making the practice feel unmistakably welcoming to families. 23:14 – Small changes in playfulness, layout, visuals, and adjusting style can completely change how children experience the office. 25:48 - A thriving practice deserves a financial strategy to match. Dr. Andrew welcomes Bel Gibbons from Success Partner Investorus Strategists to share how personalized financial planning, investment strategies, and long-term wealth creation help chiropractors turn today's success into tomorrow's legacy.

Tick bites used to be a seasonal nuisance, something you might mention briefly at a well visit in late spring. But that's no longer the reality. With emergency department visits for tick bites climbing to their highest levels in nearly a decade and tick populations expanding into new regions, pediatricians are now seeing the ripple effects of a changing environment in real time. In this episode, we break down what's driving this surge, how to approach tick bites in clinic, and what's new in our understanding of tick-borne illness — including important updates on alpha-gal syndrome that every clinician should have on their radar.   In this episode, we are joined by tick expert, Justin Searns, MD. He specializes in pediatric infectious diseases and hospital medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado. He is also an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: Why tick bites are currently at an all-time high  Best practices for tick removal and immediate post-removal care  When tick-borne illnesses should be a concern for pediatricians  Prevention strategies and geographical considerations For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Josh P. Wiedermann, M.D. Neck masses in children are commonly seen in a primary care practice. Fortunately, most are benign, although serious causes, including malignancy, always remain a possibility. Based on medical history, physical examination, and occasionally imaging studies, the cause is usually able to be identified. What are some key elements consistent with a benign neck mass? When does the management consist of watchful waiting and which ones are concerning and should warrant a prompt referral? These are questions I'll be asking my guest, Dr. Josh Wiedermann, Division Chair of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pediatric Neck Masses”.  Connect with us! Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Season 6 | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development

This week we review a recent book entitled Reimagining a Child's Heart: The Lone Pines of Congenital Cardiology which was recently published by Springer and which was authored by Dr. Thomas J. Kulik and Dr. Macdonald Dick. Drs. Kulik and Dick recount the innumerable steps in discovery that led to what the authors view as one of the pinnacles of achievement in our field, namely the palliation of children with HLHS and single ventricle disease. Dr. Kulik tragically passed suddenly in 2021 but his friend and colleague Dr. Dick completed the book that Dr. Kulik had spent over a decade toiling over. This week we sit down with Dr. Dick and also, briefly, Dr. Roberta Williams and Dr. Kulik's wife Ms. Linda Kulik to discuss the book, Dr. Kulik's legacy, mentorship and more. Dr. Dick also shares with us what he believes are the keys to a successful retirement. This is a rare opportunity to listen to some of the truest pioneers of our field, 'Lone Pines" themselves share their insights and warm stories. For those interested, this is one of many sites to obtain the book:https://www.amazon.com/dp/3031886070?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackAlso mentioned in this episode are 2 prior episodes including our conversation with Dr. Michael Freed and our conversation with Ms. Patricia Meisol and links are below:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pediheart-podcast-203-a-conversation-with-dr-michael-freed/id1341472214?i=1000556610155https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pediheart-podcast-320-the-extraordinary-life/id1341472214?i=1000677938143

Grace Fulcher was 16 years old in 2015 when she began to complain about double vision. Her double vision led to a diagnosis of a non curable Pediatric Brain Tumor known as an Anaplastic Astrocytoma. Grace was given 3 years to live and she did her very best in trying to make those 3 years meaningful. Grace continued with her high school studies, being a member of the National Honor Society for 3 years, and graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 4.4 Grade Point average. Because of the acceleration of her brain cancer, Grace went to college for only her first semester of freshman year in which she hoped to become involved in Neo Natal care. Grace passed away at the age of 19 on October 24th of 2018.
