Interviewees: Kirsten Brown, PhD Assistant Professor of Health Professions Education at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; as a short disclaimer, Kirsten's views do not represent the official policy or position of her employer.  Dionna Bidny, MD, MMUS  a first-year resident in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, currently completing her Transitional Year; and Abby Konoposky, PhD Senior Director of Medical Education Research in the Department of Psychiatry at Northwell Health. Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes.

Dr. Ira Rashbaum specializes in mind–body care and treatment of patients who have tension myoneural syndrome, previously known as tension myositis syndrome, a condition that causes pain and symptoms associated with tension and stress factors. His expertise is in diagnosing and treating individuals who have psychosomatic pain disorders. He has an extensive list of publications, national meeting presentations, and media appearances. As study guide committee chairperson of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, he led a project that compiled information on advances in rehabilitation medicine for more than 10,000 physicians worldwide. This position placed him at the forefront of all aspects of rehabilitation medicine. Dr. Samuel Mann is a physician and researcher, specializing in hypertension. He has spent the past 40 years as a specialist in this condition, combining patient care, research and teaching at his institution. As a researcher, he has published 65 articles in medical and psychology journals, along with 10 book chapters on hypertension, and three books. His most recent book is “Hidden Within Us; A Radical New Understanding of the Mind-Body Connection (2022). He emphasizes that in most patients, hypertension is not a mind/body disorder. But when it is, it is not related to emotions, such as anger and anxiety that patients report, but to powerful repressed emotions, often related to a past history of stress or trauma, that are completely hidden from conscious awareness. Part 2 The discussion included the following topics: accuracy of adults in recalling traumatic events that may have occurred in childhood, communicating with patients reluctant to discuss emotional aspects other than physical health ailments; possible distinctions among patients in different demographic groups, non-pharmacologic kinds of treatment, and status of research aimed at understanding the connection between emotions and physical health problems.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Dr Jeff KD Myers, a physician and acupuncturist, discusses his journey from Western medicine to integrative healing, emphasizing the importance of holistic approaches. He highlights his specialization in peak performance, neuroplasticity, and self-actualization, and his extensive teaching on various health modalities. Dr. Meyers shares his personal experience with chronic pain, which he managed through Feldenkrais exercises, reducing his pain from 95% to 5%. He also discusses the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in pain management and the importance of individualized treatment approaches. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-jeff-kd-myers   Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. Jeff KD Meyers emphasized the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in pain and healing, explaining that treating one aspect can improve the others, and that modern research supports this holistic view. (0:08:56–0:13:29) Dr. Jeff KD Meyers shared his personal journey with chronic pain and how discovering and consistently practicing Feldenkrais exercises helped him reduce his pain dramatically, illustrating the importance of individualized healing paths. (0:28:35–0:32:13)  Manon highlighted the importance of discernment and tuning into one's own body and intuition when choosing therapies, stressing that healing is a personal journey and that change is always possible. (0:35:33)   ABOUT DR JEFF KD Meyers: Jeff “KD” Meyers, M.D., L.Ac. is a physician, acupuncturist, guide, and storyteller whose work bridges Western medicine, holistic healing, and expanded states of consciousness. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he completed residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Penn and has practiced integrative medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Meyers specializes in peak performance, neuro-plasticity, and self-actualization and fulfillment, leading seminars and retreats focused on innovative, integrative approaches. He teaches internationally on topics including rehabilitation, resilience, yoga and Ayurveda, acupuncture, somatic practices, psychedelics, archetypes, and the transformative power of music. His journey as a healer has been influenced deeply by the wisdom of spiritual traditions including the Abrahamic lineage--Sufism, Judaism, and Christianity, as well as Buddhism, yogic and syncretic traditions. A profound awakening in 2003 opened him to non-dual awareness and years of exploration with indigenous and church-based plant medicine traditions in South America. These experiences catalyzed archetypal and prophetic insights and connection to lineages including the Divine Mother and the Holy Grail. Dr. Meyers holds certificates in Psychedelic Therapies and Research from CIIS, Family Constellations, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and biodynamic osteopathy. He is a certified firewalking instructor, and has co-directed Dharma Mittra's Life of a Yogi Teacher Training and teaches in Jeff Carreira's Mystery School. Blending science, spirituality, and art, Dr. Meyers is excited to guide individuals and groups toward healing, self-realization, and expanded human potential.  His new book with collage artist Jody Smith--Secrets from the Heart of Yoga:  New Yoga Sutras--will be out this fall. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to receive and share the Joy that is at the Heart of the Creation and healing, and is expressed through all of the Creation-- especially accessible through music and art, and to use this as a modality for solace and healing.

Dr. Ronald (James) Cotton who is an electrical engineer, neuroscientist, and physiatrist working as a physician scientist at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, and assistant professor in the Northwestern University Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. We have this one paper where we can use diffusion models and generate a bunch of probabilistic samples of movements and they constrain them by what we see in the cameras and have shown that we can actually estimate the confidence and the uncertainty in a reliable way. He indicated that we can use something called the myoskeleton that allows us to track all joints in the body down to the individual fingers. Our Portable Biomechanics Laboratory is kind of a combination of a smartphone app that records the rotation and movement of the phone itself. He discussed how he would like to establish validity as a predictive biomarker. He asked what do we actually want and what do we mean by precision rehabilitation? In his mind, the best formalism of it is something called the optimal dynamic treatment regime, which essentially is some kind of function, probably a learned function that looks at all the health information, all the biomarkersof an individual at any point in rehabilitation, kind of condenses that into a phenotype, and then predicts what is the next intervention that should be given. He spoke briefly about a case studythat applies to another line of research in his lab, which is EMG-based biofeedback and also about Next Generation Brain Machine Interface Chips.

Dr. Ronald (James) Cotton who is an electrical engineer, neuroscientist, and physiatrist working as a physician scientist at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, and assistant professor in the Northwestern University Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. PART 1 All of us probably believe and understand that how someone moves and walks is hugely informative. People are exuding all this information about their health status, but we don't measure it and obviously a core treatment of rehabilitation is how people move. We don't actually routinely measure that and the reason is that we need better, more clinically accessible tools to measure the clinically meaningful things about movement and then use those to guide our treatment programs. We've never really had the tools. So, I'm going to discuss a plurality of methods we've been developing in my lab, including tools that use multi-view video, monocular video from a smartphone, for example, as well as sensor technology and then how we're trying to extract clinically meaningful metrics from these methods. A challenge we've been addressing in the lab is that the tools developed by the AI community don't necessarily solve the problems that we need or produce clinically relevant outputs. It's really important to have confidence intervals on what you measure. If we're going to use anything for decision making, we have to know we can trust it. A problem with a lot of computer vision algorithms is they don't provide anything like confidence intervals. Even if they pretend to, they're often uncalibrated and unreliable.

Some injuries never really leave you…unless you change how you heal them.That's something I got to dig into with Dr. Christopher Meadows, a double board-certified physician and regenerative medicine expert at Clinic 5C. Dr. Meadows has been chief resident, helped build a residency program, and now spearheads orthopedic regenerative therapies that skip the scalpel and address the root of healing.From football injuries and quitting soda in middle school to mini-liposuctions and stem cell protocols that target your body's natural repair systems, this conversation hits a whole different gear. We also talk about knees, tendons, aging, sleep, protein, inflammation, PRP vs PRF, and how stem cells may soon revolutionize neuro and spinal cord recovery.Whether it's fat-derived stem cells or platelet-rich fibrin, this is what medicine looks like when it's evolving. “The idea behind regenerative medicine is to take advantage of the body's natural healing process and apply it to something that's been notoriously difficult to treat.” ~ Dr. Christopher MeadowsAbout Dr. Christopher Meadows:Dr. Christopher Meadows is a double board-certified physician in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. A former UCLA football player turned regenerative therapy expert, Dr. Meadows leads the orthopedic arm of Clinic 5C in Spokane, Washington. He's passionate about helping patients heal and perform using their own biology, whether that's through adipose-derived stem cells, PRF injections, or personalized treatment stacks. His work bridges elite sports performance and long-term longevity care, all with a no-fluff, data-driven approach.Connect with Dr. Meadows:- Clinic Website: https://www.clinic5c.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meadows.md Connect with Chris Burres:- Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres

In this episode, host Charles Wooley sits down with Beth Hanks-Clark, CNP, of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Arkansas Children's Hospital, for a powerful and personal conversation about pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—from severe trauma to mild concussions—and how early intervention and follow-up care are changing outcomes for kids.

Dr. Ami Hampole is a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor who practices Sports Medicine and Neuro-Musculoskeletal Medicine. She is also a US figure skating triple gold medalist, former 8x Indian senior national figure skating champion, a World figure skating competitor, and a coach. She currently spends her time as the executive director for Chicago Youth Foundation, a Women-lead organization that helps make the highly expensive and non-diverse ice sports more accessible to the community. She is also a mother of three. Dr. Ami grew up in a culture where a sedentary lifestyle was highly encouraged, especially for women. However, she ended up becoming one of scarce South Asians to get involved in competitive Figure Skating, and with a limited access to resources. She attributes her athletic background to her success in launching change in many communities on multiple levels. She also attributes her athletic background to her state of health and wellness. She was able to avoid falling prey to eating disorders, drugs, and abuse, which have been seen commonly in this and other sports. Her healthy eating habits and activity levels in her teenage years, are largely responsible for her health and wellness today, especially during her pregnancies and postpartum partum years, allowing her to continue to perform for ice shows, etc. But being a healthy woman has not always been glorifying. There have been many challenges, especially as she went into a career in medicine where "healthy" women are not always given the support to meet their full potentials, and also a career where women are not always seen as equal to men. Dr. Ami feels that these barriers oftentimes affect women's ability to give back 100% to their communities. However, she is hopeful that women can work together instead of against each other, alongside men, to create positive changes in this regard, in the near future.  For more information about the Chicago Youth Foundation, visit: https://www.chicagoyouthfoundation.org/.                                                                                                If you enjoyed this podcast, please click "subscribe" wherever you listen to episodes and we hope you'll consider leaving us a review.

The Latest Research Behind Phantom Pain   You may have heard the saying, "Mind over Matter" a few times in your life. I know I have, but did you know that it is more than just a saying? Did you know that our brains are capable of helping us cope when we struggle, especially when we deal with pain? Today I learned how the brain can actually help us changing the way we think and perceive the pain we feel. We have the ability to redirect and reconnect our brain waves to cope with phantom pain, or any pain, that we experience. Today, I was honored to have on Dr Felipe Fregni, professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, as well as the Director of the laboratory of Neuromodulation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. He has been researching how the brain perceives pain and what is happening during bouts of pain to our brain. Dr Felipe Fregni, Harvard Professor   The hope is that if we learn how our brain works and how it changes during moments of pain or discomfort then we can start to use that information to better equip the individual to work through pain and eliminate it without medication! Wouldn't that be something! Studying the brain to find connections   Dr Fregni splits his time teaching at Harvard and working the lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital   Dr Fregni and his staff and students have been researching this topic for a while now and getting the data they need from participants, like myself, and they could use you too! Their goal is to create a device that you can wear to assist in pain elimination through brain waves. They started this study with bringing people into their lab to trial what they had created. Now they are onto phase 2 and getting new participants to work from home with their device. As an amputee I am excited to see research into phantom pain and how we deal with it and finding ways to cope without medication. Dr Fregni also mentioned that their research also branches into helping stroke victims and paralysis as well! When we figure out how pain is communicated within our body we can then begin to find ways to lessen or even eliminate it. One interesting thing we did touch on, which I stated at the very beginning was the mind over matter mentality. You may have heard me say that when I start hurting I tend to become active, I get moving and I find something to distract myself from thinking about the phantom pain. What Dr Fregni told me was that when we become active we start using our brain, we get neurons to fire and this makes for a healthy brain. So every time I'm struggling, my coping mechanism was to not think about the pain but to dive into something else. This is exactly what we should all be doing because we are creating connections in our brain, fire it up, and building it stronger. So mindset matters. Speaking to ourselves in positive ways matters. Even thinking about an activity we love to do creates connections in our brain for healing. What a powerful organ it is, indeed! I want to thank Dr Fregni for coming on and guiding us through how our brain is capable of helping us heal and for building this community of researchers to help those of us who are struggling with pain and need a better way to handle it. I look forward to seeing how your research builds a stronger and healthier tomorrow for us! Thank you! If you would like to take part in the clinical research happening right now, from the comfort of your own home you can reach out to Dr Fregni's department with the link below. I hope you all have a very blessed week. And as always until next time, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,     To see if you qualify to participate in their study please click HERE

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Dr. Megan McGavern, a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Megan shares the powerful story behind the founding of C.H.A.T.S.—Creative, Holistic, Adaptive, Therapeutic Solutions—and how it was born out of both professional insight and personal necessity.When her son Cole faced significant challenges, and medical professionals told her to accept that he might never regain functionality, Megan refused to give up. Drawing on her medical training, clinical experience, and deep intuition as a mother, she created C.H.A.T.S. as a space where children like Cole could thrive. C.H.A.T.S. is not about traditional therapy or horseback riding—it is about building relationship, regulation, and readiness to learn through purposeful, adaptive, equine-based engagement.What sets Megan apart is her ability to take science-based, evidence-backed practices—like Movement Method—and integrate them meaningfully into both therapeutic and clinical settings. After traveling to New Trails to learn Movement Method and Horse Boy Method firsthand from Rupert Isaacson, Megan returned home and applied what she had learned with her son Cole. The profound changes she witnessed led her to establish C.H.A.T.S. as a nonprofit organization. From there, she worked to bring Movement Method into the medical establishment, eventually helping to launch a neuroscience conference focused on the approach and its clinical applications.What You'll Learn in This Episode:From Despair to Innovation: A Mother's Mission (Starts at 01:45)The moment Megan was told to “accept the loss” regarding her son Cole's future.Why she decided to go beyond traditional care models.The founding of C.H.A.T.S. and how it gave Cole a new chance at life.Movement Method and Medical Practice (Starts at 20:10)How Megan found the Movement Method and incorporated it into her work.Practical ways she's brought it into institutional and clinical settings.The role of science—not mysticism—in shaping her therapeutic philosophy.C.H.A.T.S. in Action (Starts at 32:40)What makes C.H.A.T.S. distinct from other equine-assisted programs.Why it's focused on adaptability, safety, and authentic connection.How Megan uses observation, relationship, and responsiveness to meet each child's needs.The Dual Role: Mother and Medical Professional (Starts at 48:15)How personal experience reshaped her understanding of care.Advice for professionals who want to do more—but don't know how.Why being present often matters more than having all the answers.Memorable Moments from the Episode:Megan recounts hearing that her son might never regain function (04:02).The turning point where C.H.A.T.S. took form in response to Cole's needs (11:50).Integrating Movement Method into medical care (24:35).A reflection on letting go of "being the expert" to simply be present (53:20).Connect with Dr. Megan McGavern:

The introduction is done by Dr. Steven Flanagan, Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health.  Sara Cuccurullo MD is Professor and Chairman, Residency Program Director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; Medical Director, VP at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute; and Physician in Chief of HMH Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services  Talya Flemming MD is Medical Director: Stroke Recovery Program, Post-COVID Rehabilitation Program, Aftercare Program ABMS, Brain Injury Medicine Certified JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinical Associate Professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Core Associate Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Part 2 Dr. Flemming described the functional results obtained from their intervention. They specifically chose the activity measure proposed for post-acute care, abbreviated as AM-PAC. It showed improvement over time and it allowed looking at specific subsections within rehabilitation, such as basic mobility, daily activity, and cognitive scores. An AM-PAC score is a recognized tool by Medicare used in multiple post-acute care settings. Dr. Cuccurullo indicated that according to an article published in 2011 in the journal Stroke, the all-cause mortality for stroke patients in the U.S. is 31%. In one year, the all-cause mortality in their program was 1.47%. Their results were published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The paper received the Excellence in Research Writing Award for the most impactful article of the year. Significantly, the manuscript attracted the attention of Medicare officials who asked them to present their findings. CMS wanted to know if it can be proved that the stroke recovery program saves money, can they validate their previous improvement in mortality with more patients, and can they replicate the results at other institutions nationally. Drs. Fleming and Cuccurullo described what they did in response to these questions. A Question & Answer period followed.

EPISODE #1134 THE RED PILL REVOLUTION: BREAKING FREE FROM A WORLD DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU SICK AND MISERABLE Richard welcomes co-authors and natural health advocates John Gusty and Jeremy Ayres who explore a radical idea: what if the world you've been born into is engineered to keep you stressed, unhappy, and struggling—just to benefit a tiny elite? Despite unprecedented wealth, technology, and opportunity, many of us feel trapped in an endless cycle of work, health issues, and unfulfilled promises. Join us as we discuss the powerful, hidden forces that maintain this system, from mass media to global inequality, and why they keep most of us in perpetual dis-ease. But this episode isn't about complaining—it's about empowerment. We'll share an alternative vision of life, offering fresh perspectives and practical steps to reclaim your sovereignty and live a life of true freedom. If you've ever felt that life could be more than this, it's time to wake up and make your own choices. Tune in for the beginning of your Red Pill Revolution. GUEST: Dr. Jeremy Ayres, co-author of "The Red Pill Revolution," passionately uncovers deception in the Medical Industrial Complex and its links to the Pharma and Food industries. Holding titles like Senior Practitioner of Physical Medicine and NaturoPractic Consultant, he merges Chiropractic, Osteopathy, and Naturopathy. Trained as a UK Osteopath, Jeremy, an International Natural Health Educator, guides numerous individuals toward natural healing. His mission involves blending Eastern wisdom with Western science, challenging medical manipulation, and advocating for holistic well-being to create a healthier world. GUEST: John Gusty, co-author of The Red Pill Revolution, worked over 30 years in the entertainment industry toiling “behind the curtain” for some of music's biggest names. Then, John turned his attention to health and wellness in an effort to help his wife heal from what was originally diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. He soon realized that the same deceit and profit motive that plagued the entertainment media was even worse inside the Medical Industrial Complex. As a devout agorist and champion of individuality, he now devotes his time to producing content that celebrates the spirit of sovereignty in all aspects of life.
