A record high 7 million U.S. children have received an ADHD diagnosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But journalist Paul Tough wonders if we're thinking about pediatric ADHD all wrong. For a recent New York Times Magazine feature, Tough spent a year talking to leading researchers who now say that standard treatments like Ritalin only help children behave better, not learn better – and even that effect wears off completely over time. We talk to Tough about why he says we need to reconceptualize diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Guests: Paul Tough, contributing writer, New York Times Magazine Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we speak with congenital heart surgeon T. Konrad Rajab of Arkansas Children's Hospital about a recent report he co-authored on piglet experiments on partial heart transplantation. How did transplanted heart valves grow in comparison to standard homografts and how did the valvular function differ with time? Is there a minimum dose of immunosuppresion that can protect these valves and can this dose be lower than full heart transplantation immunosuppresion therapy? Is partial heart transplantation considered a potential life-long approach to valve replacement or mostly something used to allow for growth of valves during childhood? What do we know about the world's limited experience in humans of this approach? Dr. Rajab shares the answers this week in an exciting 'sci-fi' episode. The future is now.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacbts.2024.10.015

With the Wind with Dr. Paul – Show 178: Pediatric Perspectives: Allopathic Medicine Misses Root Causes with Ken Stoller M.D Presenters: Dr. Paul Thomas and Dr. Ken Stoller Length: Approx. 42 minutes ________________________________________ Summary: In this revealing episode of Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul welcomes Dr. Ken Stoller, a fellow pediatrician and outspoken critic of modern allopathic medicine. Drawing from decades of experience, Dr. Stoller unpacks why he believes mainstream healthcare fails to address the root causes of disease—and how this system has evolved into what he calls a “death cult.” From questioning vaccine safety and the lack of informed consent to discussing hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dietary interventions, Dr. Stoller provides a compelling case for rethinking medicine as we know it. Dr. Paul and Dr. Stoller also reflect on their personal awakenings and professional sacrifices made in pursuit of truth and health advocacy. The conversation ends with practical advice for parents navigating today's toxic health landscape: prioritize nutrition, reject harmful interventions, and take full responsibility for your family's health. ________________________________________ Key Points: • How allopathic medicine avoids root causes and prioritizes symptom suppression • The troubling history and lack of informed consent behind the hepatitis B vaccine • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and its overlooked role in treating brain-related conditions • Dietary dangers including seed oils, processed foods, and environmental toxins • Vaccine-induced encephalopathy and the mislabeling of autism • Strategies parents can adopt to protect their children's health, including diet and avoiding unnecessary pediatric interventions ________________________________________ Resources: • Incurable Me by Dr. Ken Stoller: https://www.amazon.com/Incurable-Me-Research-Clinical-Practice/dp/1536669458 • Pro Oxygen | Dr. Stoller's Hyperbaric Practice: http://stollerhbot.com/ ________________________________________ Conclusion: Dr. Ken Stoller's journey from mainstream pediatrician to outspoken advocate for medical reform is both courageous and eye-opening.

In this episode, Jerry Kennedy explores what it takes to build a referral-based chiropractic practice. While many chiropractors say they want more word-of-mouth referrals, most don't have a clear strategy in place to make it happen. Jerry breaks down the keys to increasing referrals, explains the different types of referral sources, discusses why people refer (and why they don't), and offers practical tips on building stronger community and professional connections. Whether you're just getting started or you're ready to reduce your dependency on paid ads, this episode is packed with clarity and direction. Topics Covered The Value of a Referral-Based Practice Why word-of-mouth marketing is still the most stable and reliable form of growth The instability of modern advertising platforms compared to long-term relationships Why referrals are the “golden goose” for chiropractors Keys to Getting More Referrals Jerry outlines core principles every chiropractor should focus on: Make referrals normal in your office culture Be specific about who you help Make referring as easy as possible Deliver excellent, trustworthy care Build and maintain strong relationships Have a long-term plan and stay consistent Be the kind of person who also gives reviews and referrals Types of Referrals Chiropractors Can Get It's not just about patients sending in their friends. Jerry explains: Patient Referrals – Direct recommendations from satisfied patients Small Business & Professional Referrals – From people who may never become patients but trust you Medical Referrals – From MDs, PTs, massage therapists, and other healthcare providers Community Referrals – From people who only know your reputation, not you personally Digital Referrals – Reviews, shares, and online recommendations that create social proof Understanding Why People Refer They've had a positive or unexpected experience They like and trust you You asked them to refer They're returning a favor (reciprocity) They perceive you as an authority You've made it easy and clear who you want to help They've built a relationship with you over time The Truth About Referral Expectations Not everyone refers—and that's normal Trying to force referrals from everyone leads to disappointment The goal is to increase your referral percentage, not make it universal Focus on clarity, consistency, and communication Tips for Building Non-Patient Referral Relationships Understand that non-patient referrals take longer Start with people you already know Ask for introductions instead of cold outreach Get involved in community and networking groups (BNI, chambers, local events) Focus on solving problems, especially for busy professionals Stay in touch without being annoying Know when to walk away from dead-end connections Who Should You Be Networking With? Your neighbors: anyone near your office, regardless of profession People aligned with your niche: Pediatric chiropractors should connect with mom groups and birth professionals Sports chiropractors should connect with coaches, gyms, and athletes People in the communities where you want to be known and respected Final Thoughts A referral-based practice doesn't happen by accident. It requires a deliberate, ongoing effort to build relationships, communicate clearly, and provide consistent value. While it won't produce instant results, over time it becomes one of the most stable and rewarding ways to grow a chiropractic practice.   Want Help Growing Your Practice?

Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz.   [1:17] Holly introduces today's topic, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and bone density.   [1:22] Holly introduces today's guest, Dr. Anna Henderson, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Northern Light Health in Maine.   [1:29] During her pediatric and pediatric gastroenterology training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, she took a special interest in eosinophilic esophagitis. In 2019, Dr. Henderson received APFED's NASPGHAN Outstanding EGID Abstract Award.   [1:45] Holly, a feeding therapist in Maine, has referred many patients to Dr. Henderson and is excited to have her on the show.   [2:29] Dr. Henderson is a wife and mother. She loves to swim and loves the outdoors. She practices general pediatric GI in Bangor, Maine, at a community-based academic center.   [2:52] Her patient population is the northern two-thirds of Maine. Dr. Henderson feels it is rewarding to bring her expertise from Cincinnati to a community that may not otherwise have access to specialized care.   [3:13] Dr. Henderson's interest in EoE grew as a GI fellow at Cincinnati Children's. Her research focused on biomarkers for disease response to dietary therapies and EoE's relationship to bone health.   [3:36] As a fellow, Dr. Henderson rotated through different specialized clinics. She saw there were many unanswered questions about the disease process, areas to improve treatment options, and quality of life for the patients suffering from these diseases.   [4:00] Dr. Henderson saw many patients going through endoscopies. She saw the social barriers for patients following strict diets. She saw a huge need in EoE and jumped on it.   [4:20] Ryan grew up with EoE. He remembers the struggles of constant scopes, different treatment options, and dietary therapy. Many people struggled to find what was best for them before there was a good approved treatment.   [4:38] As part of Ryan's journey, he learned he has osteoporosis. He was diagnosed at age 18 or 19. His DEXA scan had such a low Z-score that they thought the machine was broken. He was retested.   [5:12] Dr. Henderson explains that bone mineral density is a key measure of bone health and strength. Denser bones contain more minerals and are stronger. A low bone mineral density means weaker bones. Weaker bones increase the risk of fracture.   [5:36] DEXA scan stands for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan. It's a type of X-ray that takes 10 to 30 minutes. A machine scans over their bones. Typically, we're most interested in the lumbar spine and hip bones.   [5:56] The results are standardized to the patient's height and weight, with 0 being the average. A negative number means weaker bones than average for that patient's height and weight. Anything positive means stronger bones for that patient's height and weight.   [6:34] A lot of things can affect a patient's bone mineral density: genetics, dietary history, calcium and Vitamin D intake, and medications, including steroid use. Prednisone is a big risk factor for bone disease.   [7:07] Other risk factors are medical and auto-immune conditions, like celiac disease, and age. Any patient will have their highest bone density in their 20s to 30s. Females typically have lower bone mineral density than males.   [7:26] The last factor is lifestyle. Patients who are more active and do weight-bearing exercises will have higher bone mineral density than patients who have more of a sedentary lifestyle.   [7:56] Ryan was told his bone mineral density issues were probably a side-effect of the long-term steroids he was on for his EoE. Ryan is now on benralizumab for eosinophilic asthma. He is off steroids.   [8:36] Dr. Henderson says the research is needed to find causes of bone mineral density loss besides glucocorticoids.   [8:45] EoE patients are on swallowed steroids, fluticasone, budesonide, etc. Other patients are on steroids for asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. These may be intranasal steroids or topical steroids.   [9:01] Dr. Henderson says we wondered whether or not all of those steroids and those combined risks put the EoE population at risk for low bone mineral density. There's not a lot published in that area.   [9:14] We know that proton pump inhibitors can increase the risk of low bone mineral density. A lot of EoE patients are on proton pump inhibitors.   [9:23] That was where Dr. Henderson's interest started. She didn't have a great way to screen for bone mineral density issues or even know if it was a problem in her patients more than was expected in a typical patient population.   [9:57] Holly wasn't diagnosed with EoE until she was in her late 20s. She was undiagnosed but was given prednisone for her problems. Now she wonders if she should get a DEXA scan.   [10:15] Holly hopes the listeners will learn something and advocate for themselves or for their children.   [10:52] If a patient is concerned about their bone mineral density, talking to your PCP is a perfect place to start. They can discuss the risk factors and order a DEXA scan and interpret it, if needed.   [11:11] If osteoporosis is diagnosed, you should see an endocrinologist, specifically to discuss therapy, including medications called bisphosphonates.   [11:36] From an EoE perspective, patients can talk to their gastroenterologist about what bone mineral density risk factors may be and if multiple risk factors exist. Gastroenterologists are also more than capable of ordering DEXA scans and helping their patients along that journey.   [11:53] A DEXA scan is typically the way to measure bone mineral density. It's low radiation, it's easy, it's fast, and relatively inexpensive.   [12:10] It's also useful in following up over time in response to different interventions, whether or not that's stopping medications or starting medications.   [12:30] Dr. Henderson co-authored a paper in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, called “Prevalence and Predictors of Compromised Bone Mineral Density in Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis.” The study looked at potential variables.   [12:59] The researchers were looking at chronic systemic steroid use. They thought it was an issue in their patients, especially patients with multiple atopic diseases like asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. That's where the study started.   [13:22] Over the years, proton pump inhibitors have become more ubiquitous, and more research has come out. The study tried to find out if this was an issue or not. There weren't any guidelines for following these patients, as it was a retrospective study.    [13:42] At the time, Dr. Henderson was at a large institution with a huge EoE population. She saw that she could do a study and gather a lot of information on a large population of patients. Studies like this are the start of figuring out the guidelines for the future.   [14:34] Dr. Henderson wanted to determine whether pediatric patients with EoE had a lower-than-expected bone mineral density, compared to their peers. [14:44] Then, if there were deficits, she wanted to determine where they were more pronounced. Were they more pronounced in certain subgroups of patients with EoE?   [14:59] Were they patients with an elemental diet? Patients with an elimination diet? Were they patients on steroids or PPIs? Were they patients with multiple atopic diseases? Is low bone mineral density just a manifestation of their disease processes?   [15:14] Do patients with active EoE have a greater propensity to have low bone mineral density? The study was diving into see what the potential risk factors are for this patient population.   [15:45] The study was a retrospective chart review. They looked at patients aged 3 to 21. You can't do a DEXA scan on a younger patient, and 21 is when people leave pediatrics.   [16:03] These were all patients who had the diagnosis of EoE and were seen at Cincinnati Children's in the period between 2014 and 2017. That period enabled full ability for chart review. Then they looked at the patients who had DEXA scans.   [16:20] They did a manual chart review of all of the patients and tried to tease out what the potential exposures were. They looked at demographics, age, sex, the age of the diagnosis of EoE, medications used, such as PPIs, and all different swallowed steroids.   [16:44] They got as complete a dietary history as they could: whether or not patients were on an elemental diet, whether that was a full elemental diet, whether they were on a five-food, six-food, or cow's milk elimination diet.   [16:58] They teased out as much as they could. One of the limitations of a retrospective chart review is that you can't get some of the details, compared to doing a prospective study. For example, they couldn't tease out the dosing or length of therapy, as they would have liked.   [17:19] They classified those exposures as whether or not the patient was ever exposed to those medications, whether or not they were taking them at the time of the DEXA scan, or if they had been exposed within the year before the DEXA scan.   [17:40] They also looked at whether the patients had other comorbid atopic disorders, to see if those played a role, as well.   [18:03] The study found that there was a slightly lower-than-expected bone mineral density in the patients. The score was -0.55, lower than average but not diagnostic of a low bone mineral density, which would be -2 or below.   [18:27] There were 23 patients with low bone mineral density scores of -2 or below. That was 8.6% of the study patients. Typically, only 2.5% of the population would have that score. It was hard to tease out the specific risk factors in a small population of 23.   [18:57] They looked at what the specific risk factors were that were associated with low bone mineral density, or bone mineral density in general.   [19:12] After moving from Colorado, Holly has transferred to a new care team, and doctors wanted her baseline Vitamin D and Calcium levels. No one had ever tested that on her before. Dr. Henderson says it's hard because there's nothing published on what to do.   [19:58] The biggest surprise in the study was that swallowed steroids, or even combined steroid exposure, didn't have any effect on bone mineral density. That was reassuring, in light of what is known about glucocorticoid use.   [20:16] The impact of PPI use was interesting. The study found that any lifetime use of PPIs did seem to decrease bone mineral density. It was difficult to tease out the dosing and the time that a patient was on PPIs.   [20:34] Dr. Henderson thinks that any lifetime use of PPIs is more of a representation of their cumulative use of PPIs. At the time of the study, from 2014 to 2017, PPIs were still very much first-line therapy for EoE; 97% of the study patients had taken PPIs at some time.   [21:02] There are so many more options now for therapy when a patient has a new diagnosis of EoE, especially with dupilumab now being an option.   [21:11] Dr. Henderson speaks of patients who started on PPIs and have stayed on them for years. This study allows her to question whether we need to continue patients on PPIs. When do we discuss weaning patients off PPIs, if appropriate?   [22:05] Ryan says these podcasts are a great opportunity for the community at large and also for the hosts. He just wrote himself a note to ask his endocrinologist about coming off PPIs.   [22:43] Dr. Henderson says that glucocorticoid use is a known risk factor for low bone mineral density and osteoporosis. In the asthma population, inhaled steroids can slightly decrease someone's growth potential while the patient is taking them.   [23:10] From those two facts, it was thought that swallowed steroids would have a similar effect. But since they're swallowed and not systemic, maybe things are different.   [23:23] It was reassuring to Dr. Henderson that what her study found was that the swallowed steroid didn't affect bone mineral density. There was one other study that found that swallowed steroids for EoE did not affect someone's height.   [23:51] Dr. Henderson clarifies that glucocorticoids include systemic steroids like prednisone and hydrocortisone.     [23:57] Based on Dr. Henderson's retrospective study, fluticasone as a swallowed steroid did not affect bone mineral density. It was hard to tease out the dosing, but the cumulative use did not seem to result in a deficit for bone mineral density.   [24:16] Holly shared that when she tells a family of a child she works with that the child's gastroenterologist will likely recommend steroids, she will now give them the two papers Dr. Henderson mentioned. There are different types of steroids. The average person doesn't know the difference.   [25:15] Dr. Henderson thinks that for patients who have multiple risk factors for low bone mineral density, it is reasonable to have a conversation about bone health with their gastroenterologist to see whether or not a DEXA scan would be worth it.   [25:56] If low bone mineral density is found, that needs to be followed up on.   [26:03] There are no great guidelines, but this study is a good start on what these potential risk factors are. We need some more prospective studies to look at these risk factors in more detail than Dr. Henderson's team teased out in this retrospective study.   [26:23] Dr. Henderson tells how important it is for patients to participate in prospective longitudinal studies for developing future guidelines.   [26:34] Holly points out that a lot of patients are on restrictive diets. It's important to think about the whole picture if you are starting a medication or an elimination, or a restricted diet. You have to think about the impact on your body, overall.   [27:11] People don't think of dietary therapy as medication, but it has risks and benefits involved, like a medication.   [27:50] Dr. Henderson says, in general, lifestyle management is the best strategy for managing bone health. Stay as active as you can with weight-bearing exercises and eating a well-balanced diet. If you are on a restrictive diet, make sure it's well-balanced.   [28:12] Dr. Henderson says a lot of our patients have feeding disorders, so they see feeding specialists like Holly. A balanced diet is hard when kids are very selective in their eating habits.   [29:10] Dr. Henderson says calcium and Vitamin D are the first steps in how we treat patients with low bone mineral density. A patient who is struggling with osteoporosis needs to discuss it with their endocrinologist for medications beyond supplementation.   [29:31] Ryan reminds listeners who are patients always to consult with their medical team. Don't go changing anything up just because of what we're talking about here. Ask your care team some good questions.   [29:47] Dr. Henderson would like families to be aware, first, that some patients with EoE will have bone mineral density loss, especially if they are on PPIs and restrictive diets. They should start having those discussions with their providers.   [30:04] Second, Dr. Henderson would like families to be reassured that swallowed steroids and combined steroid exposure didn't have an impact on bone mineral density. Everyone can take that away from today's chat.   [30:18] Lastly, Dr. Henderson gives another plug for patient participation in prospective studies, if they're presented with the opportunity. It's super important to be able to gather more information and make guidelines better for our patients. [30:35] Holly thanks Dr. Henderson for coming on Real Talk — Eosinophilic Diseases and sharing her insights on bone mineral density, and supporting patients in Maine.   [30:57] Dr. Henderson will continue to focus on the clinical side.

It's a type of X-ray where a patient lies down for 10 to 30 minutes. A machine scans over their bones. Typically, we're most interested in the lumbar spine and hip bones.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “We wondered whether or not all of those steroids and those combined risks even put our EoE population at risk for low bone mineral density. There's not a lot published in that area.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “If a patient is worried [about their bone mineral density], their PCP is a perfect place to start for that. They're more than capable of discussing the risk factors specific for that patient, ordering a DEXA scan, and interpreting it if need be.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “I think we need some more prospective studies to look at these risk factors in a little bit more detail than we were able to tease out in our retrospective review.” — Anna Henderson, MD   “Just another plug for the participation in prospective studies, if you're presented with the opportunity. It's super important to be able to gather more information and to be able to make guidelines better for our patients about these risks.” — Anna Henderson, MD

Not all sports dietitians are created equal—especially when it comes to working with young, developing gymnasts. In this episode, I'm breaking down why your gymnast needs a pediatric/adolescent sports dietitian, not just any sports RD who's used to fueling adult athletes. The nutritional needs of gymnasts are not the same as grown adults like college or professional athletes. Your gymnast is still growing, developing, and navigating puberty—all while training like an elite athlete. That's a unique combination that deserves a specialized approach.As a parent, you want to work with someone who not only understands fueling for performance, but also knows how to support long-term health, hormonal development, injury prevention, and medical nuances like growth delays, allergies, or GI issues—all of which are way more common in this sport than most people realize. That's what sets a pediatric/adolescent sports dietitian apart.We're doing all the sports nutrition things—helping with fueling before, during, and after practice and maximizing recovery. But there's so much more to layer onto that. We're also doing what's called medical nutrition therapy, making sure these gymnasts are growing and developing on time. In this episode you'll learn about: Why young gymnasts aren't just “small adults” and can't be treated as such nutritionally even if they're athletesThe difference between a general sports dietitian and a pediatric/adolescent sports dietitian and all the training requiredWhy nutrition for gymnasts must be individualized and age-appropriate and can't be generalized  Links & Resources    The Balanced Gymnast® Program for level 5-10 female gymnasts Episode 129: Why gymnast growth charts are so important to success in the sportEpisode 112: Is your “tiny gymnast” actually underfueled, or growing normally for them?Connect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist or christinaandersonrdn.com

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Kevin Walter, MD is a board certified pediatric sports medicine physician that specializes in helping children with various sports and musculoskeletal related problems. He is the medical director of pediatric and adolescent sports medicine at Children's Hospital Wisconsin, an associate professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, has published several papers on concussions in children, and is avidly active in advocacy for safety in youth sports.  Show Notes What does preventive medicine mean to you and how do you apply that to pediatrics? Pediatric sports medicine is a pretty niche field until your kid breaks a bone or gets involved in sports. What led you to this field? What are the biggest differences between adults and children when it comes to sports medicine? Summer is coming, whats the best way to keep kids out of your exam room? What's the deal with concussions. What are they? How many can you have as a kid? Does this mean you won't be as smart in the future? Kids these days are in a hypercompetitive sports environment and find themselves playing a single sport year round so they can become the next tiger woods or michael phelps. What do you think about specialization at such an early age when it comes to sports? How early is too early to start thinking about organized sports?

Medical Safety Principles with Tyler P. Morrissey, MD and Megan Nash, DO

Nicole Clark, Co-Founder and CEO of the Adult and Pediatric Institute for Health and Wellness, a comprehensive, personalized psychiatric practice that takes a holistic approach to mental health, looking at the interconnection of physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Nicole has two daughters with autism, which has informed the Institute's focus on serving the autism community, especially in these times of changes in the definition of autism spectrum disorder. Services include psychiatric and autism evaluations, medication management, education, and early intervention for children and adults and their family members.  Nicole explains, "We're a comprehensive psychiatric practice, and we're kind of unique in that we have fully blended behavioral and mental health therapy. We see an individual as a whole person. They're not just one piece of their identity. They have multiple pieces of their identity. And so we don't like to only focus on a singular issue. We like to look at the person as a whole, and so we see the entire family. We see ages 18 months when we're doing autism evaluations, all the way up to 65 years old. And we offer psychiatric evaluations, autism evaluations, medication management, and different therapy modalities." "A lot of the time, we are treating someone's anxiety, or maybe we're treating their ADHD, or maybe we're treating bipolar depression, the other illnesses that are kind of stemming from that stomachache, especially with kids, the headaches, the 'I'm always feeling sick.” I don't want to go to school." "Or in adults-- the chronic stomachaches, the heart disease, all of these issues tend to start to resolve when you can treat the mind and when you can work on the mental health side of things, because these are real problems and these are real issues, physiological issues, heart disease. A heart attack, that's real. We know that is real. Well, what is causing that? Well, maybe it's being caused by elevated cortisol levels over an extended period of time because you have unresolved trauma, anxiety, or depression. And so, it's becoming a more collaborative approach to healthcare, which I love."  #PEDSInstitute #PsychiatricCare #MentalHealth #PediatricHealth #Autism #AutismDiagnosis #AutismAwareness pedsinstitute.com Download the transcript here

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. Learn More / Apply Kristina's Healing Protocols IV and Oral Antibiotics (33 pills/day for 4 years) Ozone Sauna Therapy Dual Infrared Sauna IV Glutathione and Vitamin C Autologous Stem Cell Therapy Advocacy Calls to Action Get tested with qualified Lyme-literate doctors (LLMDs) Pre-conception testing for both partners Consider cord blood testing for newborns (e.g., IGeneX) Push back against “one-dose doxycycline” treatment myths Advocate for maternal and congenital Lyme research funding Check out Kristina's Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching Memorable Quotes “Infection turned into action is the mindset I pass forward.” “A mom with Lyme can't be left alone with crushing fatigue and a newborn — it's not just postpartum, it's pathology.” “Doxy is not a one-stop shop. One tick bite can carry 19 pathogens with 100 strains.”

This week we speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Audrey Dionne about a recent work she co-authored on the topic of outcomes of ablation in the early postoperative period following congenital heart surgery.

One of NephJC signature moves has been to adapt new technologies and communication techniques to delivering state of the art nephrology education. Podcasts, Visual Abstracts, Tweetorials. NephJC has been on the front of these waves. Clearly one of the most exciting and controversial new technologies is artificial intelligence and it is unclear what role it may play in the NephJC educational package. Our blogs and tweets are written entirely by human minds but it is inevitable that as AI becomes the spellcheck of the 2020s, that it will leach into all of our writing. One AI tool that intrigues us is Google's NotebookLM. This product can create podcasts from source documentation. We have done a couple of dry runs converting our blogs into novel, low-effort, podcasts with impressive results. So, at least for now, we plan on publishing a podcast before each chat. We are fact checking them before publication, but some mistakes may slip through. Please send you feedback, we want to know what you think of this. As always, the email is Captopril@NephJC.comThis will supplement and not replace Freely Filtered. One possible future move is to separate out both podcasts to individual feeds, but for now they will piggyback on each other.
