A free guide to FSM training is available there for licensed practitioners. https://frequencyspecific.com/how-to-choose-your-fsm-core-training Hosts: Carolyn McMain, MA, DC & Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT In this episode of the Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast, Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss the importance of treating the whole patient—not just the injury—and strongly discourage using AI or published frequency lists to create FSM protocols, emphasizing hands-on assessment and clinical reasoning. They troubleshoot an ACL post-op case with patellar tendinopathy and quad inhibition, highlighting tissue-based detective work (especially the fat pad, scarring, nerves, and cartilage) and noting that effective frequencies should produce palpable softening quickly. They also explain how to differentiate disc versus facet referral patterns in the upper back based on flexion/extension provocation, recommend considering flexion-extension X-rays and hypermobility screening for chronic neck issues, address questions on statin-related neuropathy and antidepressant tapering, share carpal tunnel strategies and outcomes, and explore vagus-focused approaches for interoception, pelvic pain, coccydynia, and vaginismus. They close with course announcements and a reminder that AI cannot diagnose, treat, or provide reliable legal documents. 00:00 Healing Beyond Tissue 00:38 FSM Podcast Intro 01:05 OR Teamwork Mindset 03:01 Perioperative Care Gaps 04:53 AI Protocol PSA 08:02 ACL Rehab Case Study 13:25 Hands-On Over Algorithms 16:02 Tendonitis vs Tendinopathy 18:25 Neck Pain Disc vs Facet 24:34 Reading Imaging Like a Pro 29:12 Trust the Exam 29:43 Statins and Antidepressants 32:13 Carpal Tunnel Protocols 35:48 Interoception and Vagus 37:52 Pelvic Pain and Dura 41:44 Arachnoid and Simplifying FSM 43:45 Radiation Scar Case 45:15 Vaginismus Treatment Options 48:01 Athlete Anxiety and Safety 51:01 AI Limits and Connection 52:45 Course Dates and Wrap Up 55:08 Podcast Disclaimer

Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.
