Alon Loeffler is a Postdoctoral Scientist at Cortical Labs in Melbourne. Cortical Labs are a biological computing startup putting live neurons into chips to revolutionise computing. This in part means the ability to teach real human brain cells to do things, outside the person's body. The company works with real neurons, studying their electrical activity and even teaching them to play Pong (you read that right!). Entering the field of neuroscience came after a significant turning point in Alon's life at the age of 16. He developed an autoimmune disease called Transverse Myelitis, which left him paralysed in his hands and legs. Despite the challenges of dealing with recovery and rehabilitation as a teenager, it shifted his priorities from parties to taking care of his health and understanding why this happened. His first project in this field led him to pursue a PhD in nanotechnology at the University of Sydney. He worked on neuromorphic materials that mimic the behaviour of real neurons. This application can be used to process dynamic, noisy and real-time data that AI can't deal with currently. Alon's work at the company involves data science, algorithm development and software development - a role he describes as his dream job: “It's fascinating work with huge potential, like testing neurological diseases and possibly replacing animal testing.” In this episode, we chat about: What is a synthetic biological intelligence postdoctoral scientist? What are neurons? Neurodegenerative diseases Electrophysiological reward and punishment What is Cortical Labs? What is synthetic biological intelligence?

The spinal cord serves as the main communication highway between the brain and body. Did you know that 80% of people with multiple sclerosis have spinal cord lesions on MRI? These lesions can disrupt specific neural pathways, leading to common MS symptoms like numbness, weakness, impaired coordination, balance issues, bladder problems, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. For instance, damage to the corticospinal tract on one side of the spinal cord can weaken an arm or leg. A remarkable autopsy study revealed that nearly 90% of people with MS still had active inflammation in the spinal cord. This finding brings new hope for potential treatments, even for older and progressive MS patients. Advances in imaging technology, including more powerful MRI scanners (3 Tesla and higher), are enhancing our ability to see inside the spinal cord, which is as thin as a pinky finger. Improved spinal cord imaging is driving the development of new therapies in clinical trials and helping identify those at risk for worsening disability, ultimately guiding better treatment decisions.

Episode 12: Navigating Long COVID Complications: Deb Jensen's Story | Conversations With a Chiropractor Welcome to another powerful episode of "Conversations With a Chiropractor." I'm Dr. Stephanie Wautier, and today, I'm joined by Deb Jensen, a remarkable woman whose journey through the complications of long COVID is truly inspiring. In this episode, Deb shares her harrowing experience with transverse myelitis, the impact of the condition on her life, and the unwavering faith that guided her through challenging times. Her story is a testament to resilience and the importance of a strong support system.
Needless to say Aimee Hofmann is an INSPIRATION to many! At 30, she suffered from the neurological condition, Transverse Myelitis, an inflammation in the spinal cord that caused complete paralysis from level T10 of the spine. After learning she would never walk again, art gave her peace during the difficult stages of loss, grief, self-reflection, and re-discovery. Art helped her emotionally heal, as well as find joy again. Throughout the years that followed, while facing a new life with a disability, Aimee created a number of collections. Her works featured landscapes, abstract florals and swirl patterns, which have continued to evolve into deeper abstract work. Her unique abstract art has inspired many with its vibrancy and depth, symbolizing the resilience and strength found in the journey of recovery. Aimee is being honored on June 6th by Burke Rehabilitation Hospital with the Burke Award, their highest honor. This year's theme is the "Healing Power of the Arts," which highlights the transformative impact of the arts in rehabilitation and recovery. Burke is a nationally renowned rehabilitation hospital located in White Plains NY and Aimee's impactful artwork adorns the walls throughout Burke Rehabilitation's buildings. Aimee joined me to share her pride in how her unexpected journey brought her to this moment and how art contributes to the rehabilitation and recovery process for patients. I asked Aimee to talk about what she does every day and how she does it. Her most recent collections she said, express a newfound freedom that embraces the beauty of imperfections, renewal/rebirth and nostalgia and the symbolism of one's unique life journey. “After I became paralyzed throughout the years that followed, I learned so many life lessons. I did a lot of self-reflection and self-rediscovery work. One of the things was that I learned to let go of perfectionism, and it's something that I struggled with throughout my whole life. And so, my latest work features, for example, paint in diverse textures and various consistencies, which I liberally pour and splatter all over the canvas. And this kind of embracing the beauty of imperfections, allowing the paint organically to react instead of focusing on being perfect and that is a complete reflection of my personal journey. " "And so, acquiring a disability has also helped me discover this newfound courage that was born from the realization that there is nothing to fear because I realized that the future will always be uncertain for everybody no matter what. So, this epiphany has allowed me to relinquish control over outcomes, allowing my intuition to guide the creative process instead of focusing so much on the final results, if that makes sense.” Everything Aimee creates makes total sense. In addition to individual collectors and Burke Rehabilitation, Aimee Hofmann's work is part of corporate collections at Amazon, JPMorgan Chase & Co., HSBC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Intuit, State Street Bank, Ipsen, Brown Advisory and Vigil Neuroscience. She has also shown at local and regional arts centers and has been a guest speaker at the Harvard Business School. Aimee Hofmann lives with her husband and two children in Westchester County NY. She is a two-time hand-cyclist marathoner, avid swimmer, fundraiser, and guest speaker. As disabilities advocate her goal is to continue to create awareness about inclusion and fair representation for people with disabilities. ********** About 'The Burke Award': Given by Burke Rehabilitation, it is conferred upon an individual or group who has made significant contributions to the field of rehabilitation, either through personal achievements, the development of research or the establishment of programs and facilities to assist individuals with disabilities. It recognizes strength and courage in overcoming the challenge of a disability or a significant contribution to the understanding of physical disability. It remains the highest honor bestowed by the Board of Trustees of Burke Rehabilitation Hospital. The Burke Award Dinner is Burke's premier fundraiser, with proceeds supporting Burke's outstanding rehabilitative care services and the Healing Power of the Arts fund. Your generous support of the 2024 Burke Award being held on June 6th will make a difference in the lives of the thousands of patients Burke serves each year. Enjoy being inspired to learn how art heals by the fabulous Aimee Hofmann in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.
Tonight, we welcome Adam “Glider” Bonnett to the show. Whitney met Adam at the place where she has met so many amazing people: St. Albans Sanatorium (which I think should become its own episode). Adam is a motivational speaker and paranormal investigator, calling himself the “rolling trigger object.” He uses a wheelchair due to being paralyzed from a condition called Transverse Myelitis. He's also created a character called “Glider,” who is a ghost using a wheelchair. We'll have to ask Adam more about “Glider” when he joins us.Website: https://the-glider.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonnett3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wvgliderCheck out our website: https://paraunitypodcast.wixsite.com/paraunityYou can find us on Instagram and FacebookInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paraunitypodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paraunitypodcastThanks again to all of you for tuning in.

Christine Ha, an award-winning blind chef and restauranteur, shares her experience grappling with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Facing relapses with the inability to walk and feed herself that challenged her independence, she leaned on the support from family and friends. As she lost her sight due to optic neuritis in both eyes, Ms. Ha had to embark on a journey of rediscovery in the kitchen, starting with the fundamentals. Winning MasterChef Season 3 marked a turning point, propelling her culinary career forward despite the obstacles posed by her disability. NMOSD is an autoimmune disease in which an antibody attacks water channels on astrocyte cells in the optic nerves, spinal cord and sometimes the brain. Attacks or relapses can be devastating and incomplete recovery from attacks is typical. Like Ms. Ha, some people living with the condition can be misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis. A blood test for the aquaporin-4 antibody is key to getting diagnosed correctly early. Since 2019, highly effective treatment options have been FDA-approved that reduce relapses by 77-94%. Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Christine Ha, "The Blind Cook". Her first cookbook, Recipes from My Home Kitchen, was a New York Times best-seller. Ms. Ha's first restaurant in Houston, The Blind Goat, was named a semi-finalist for 2020 Best New Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation. She was also named a James Beard finalist for Best Chef in Texas in 2022. Michael Levy MD PhD, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Neuroimmunology Clinic and Research Laboratory
Alison's life changed overnight when she couldn't feel anything from the waist down. After being diagnosed with a 'bad cold', her symptoms became worst, soon discovering she had Transverse Myelitis, 'an inflammatory disease of the Spinal Cord'. With Alison now to become a full time Wheelchair user, it presented an opportunity to reflect on her career as a nurse and broaden her perspective of what support could look like in the in not only the medical community within her own town but within her own family. Her email to ListenABLE: “I would love to share my story on ListenABLE so that others can see that life doesn't end just because you have a disability and really, life gets better because of it. I am a better wife, mum, friend and employee because of my disability”. Overcoming the previous stigma and representation of what it means to be disabled, Alison speaks about her current road to acceptance of her own disability and how her attitude has created a ripple effect to not only the people she loves most but her own community.

She also shares her thoughts on wheelchair fashion and reads one of her poems. - ShelbyLyn on IG: https://www.instagram.com/poetry_on_wheels
People with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM fields, and all too often, they face isolation and ableism in academia. In this week's episode, two stories from the recently published book Uncharted: How Scientists Navigate Their Own Health, Research, and Experiences of Bias, have been adapted for the podcast. Both of our storytellers showcase how they, as scientists with disabilities, navigate their careers. Part 1: When Skylar Bayer's heart condition sidelines her from doing her dive research, she struggles with not feeling worthy enough as a scientist. This story was originally produced by SoundBites and aired on Maine Public Radio in 2019. Part 2: When Mpho Kgoadi loses feelings in his legs as a child, he worries he won't be able to achieve his dreams. Skylar Bayer is a marine biologist, a storyteller, and a science communicator. She completed her Ph.D. in the secret sex lives of scallops, a subject that landed her on The Colbert Report in 2013. Since then she has dabbled in a diversity of science communication activities, all of which you can read about on her website (skylarbayer.wordpress.com). She's an alum of the D.C.-based Sea Grant Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship program. She is the co-editor with fellow MIT alum, Gabi Serrato Marks, of the book Uncharted: how scientists navigate health, research, and bias. When there isn't a pandemic going on, she also enjoys Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the gentle art. Follow her on Twitter @drsrbayer. Mpho Kgoadi is a PhD student at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. He has a rare auto-immune disease called Transverse Myelitis and has been using a wheelchair for the past 15 years.

Danielle Baker was an active RN (Certified Hospice and Palliative Care) for 20 years and loved her job. Within 2.5 weeks after her last shot, she became completely disabled, suffering from severe neurological issues, demyelination of the spine, and getting the diagnosis of transverse myelitis, which her doctor confirmed was due to the Pfizer jab. Since then, Danielle has been unable to work as she has difficulty completing simple tasks such as walking and self-care. However, she has a beautiful light around her as she continues to fight to find joy and happiness.

Aimee Hofmann is an abstract artist who has been painting for 16 years. Her journey to finding her professional purpose and life's work is one that is inspiring and filled with twists and turns. In '98, Hofmann earned a BS degree from the Stern School of Business at New York University. After graduating, she landed positions in marketing and public relations, but did not feel fulfilled. In search for an artistic outlet, she explored creative industries, i.e., make-up artistry and acting. Suddenly, in 2006, she suffered from the neurological condition, Transverse Myelitis, which resulted in permanent paralysis. The hospital, where she was a patient, offered a therapeutic art program which prompted Hofmann to start painting in her hospital bed during her stay. After learning she would never walk again, it was art that, ultimately, gave her peace during the difficult stages of loss, grief, self-reflection and self-discovery. Throughout the years that followed, while facing life with a disability, she created a number of collections. Aimee considers herself mainly a self-taught artist and her work has been exhibited at Carriage Barn Arts Center, Jamestown Arts Center, Blue Door Arts Center and Rye Arts Center.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do and for your amazing podcasts, you are a wealth of knowledge and I trust your word before anyone else!! My question is about sodium. I get really dry skin mostly on my face when I have a very small amount of salt. Is this a gut issue like candida or yeast overgrowth, why would this be happening so much later in life? I'm a male, 43 years of age and I'm in pretty good health overall. I never had an issue with salt when I was younger, but now my nose, cheeks and sometimes hands get really really dry. I predominantly have salt only on the weekends, and whether its celtic or himalayan and maybe a cheat meal from a restaurant, it just seems to overloaded my body. I always keep up with my water throughout the day so I am hydrated as well. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, keep up the fantastic work!!! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all you do and for putting out these podcasts daily. They're highly informative and I'm learning new things everyday!! My question is about bcaa's. I know you've talked about them before but I was just wondering if when working out or lifting weights, a person can have 3-5 grams in water during the session to keep the body anabolic and not tap into muscle as a fuel source? Ive heard that the leucine in bcaa's, if your having it every 3-4 hours throughout the day (especially if your not having any fish or meat with your meal) will basically flip an internal switch to keep you in a anabolic state so you don't slip into catabolism and you can keep building muscle. I know we are supposed to have half our body weight in protein a day, so would this go against that and up your protein intake too much? Thank you again for all you do! Kelsey: I'm wondering the best approach to managing weight gain and inflammation and overall feeling better while taking an aromatase inhibitor. Luciana: Dr. Cabral, I have a severe case of keloid scars. I have done multiple surgeries to remove them, but it keeps coming back. My last surgery was 2 years ago to remove two very large scars from my back and shoulder. After the surgery we followed up with radiation, compression, and steroid shots. I've been battling this since I was in 4th grade and have tried everything modern medicine has to offer. Yesterday I went to my doctor to get more steroid shots and he said I can't get them anymore because the skin is too thin. The scar is getting wider because of the tension in the shoulder. I've asked Naturopathic doctors before, but they didn't know how to help me. I've been following your work for the last few months and I'm getting ready to start the 21 day detox this weekend. Modern medicine claims that keloid scars are genetic, even though I'm the only one in my family who has it. I've always asked why I've only start developing them after age 10. Have you threated any patients with the same condition? What would your recommendation be? Should I setup an online consultation with you so we can further discuss the matter? Thank you for your time, Luciana Alexis: Hello Dr Cabral, I'm in IHP2 and grateful for all you do. I was on the mend from Covid and 2 days later I woke with full body severe nerve pain. Then full body numbness & no longer able to walk. Diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis and positive for HHV6 and MOG. As a child I had JRA and EBV (then was fine!) and later had issues arise as an adult like: shingles, rashes, vertigo, food sensitivities. I worked with someone to get rid of Cdiff and Giardia. I've sealed and healed my gut a ton. But I must still have a higher viral load and/or other remaining issues, and this current virus attacked my nerves? What is the root?! I believe I can heal and I will! Any guidance on steps… greatly appreciated in this time of need, thank you Tonya: Hello. My son has encopresis. He was diagnosed when he was 3 and now he is 10. For years the doctors said Miralax was the answer. Last year I decided enough was enough and quit the miralax. I hired a nutritionist and we did a food sensitivities test. Turns out he is allergic to dairy, gluten, soy, egg whites, peanuts, & tilapia. I searched your podcasts and found 1 other where you also suggested other testing so next we will do the stool test and so on. However, Ive also heard you mention a 5 day intestinal cleanse. And I was wondering if we could do this? Would this also work as a "Miralax"? Currently we are doing aloe vera juice and magnesium as well as a major diet change (that has been going great)! Thank you so much for everything!!

Vahen King is an author, motivational speaker and ordained minister. However, Vahen describes herself as "just an ordinary girl" loving life and seizing every opportunity to empower and inspire those around her! At the age of 23, one week after her engagement to the man of her dreams, Vahen developed Transverse Myelitis, a virus that left her physically disabled and dependent on the use of a wheelchair.

SRNA hosted an Ask the Expert podcast entitled, "Transverse Myelitis: Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines" with medical experts Dr. Ram Narayan and Dr. Elena Grebenciucova. The experts began by explaining what transverse myelitis is, signs and symptoms, and how the diagnosis is made. They discussed acute treatments and how they decide which treatments to use for each patient. Finally, the experts talked about rehabilitation and what someone should do if they experience decompensation.
Transverse myelitis is a disorder of spinal cord inflammation and demyelination. Although more common in adults, it does occur in children. In the past, people believed that transverse myelitis was not associated with cognitive symptoms, given that it exclusively impacts the spinal cord (not the brain). However, recent evidence suggests that performance on cognitive testing can be negatively impacted in some children with transverse myelitis. To learn more about this condition in children, John and Ryan speak with Lana Harder, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, who is a founding member and current Co-Director of the Children’s Medical Center Pediatric Demyelinating Disease Clinic.

Imagine being a normal kid for eleven years and then due to an unbelievable rare condition, spending the next four years of your life literally trapped inside your own body inside a hospital, unable to communicate with the outside world, suffering through non-stop seizures, while your condition worsens and the doctors offer no sliver of hope to your family...all the while you're still lucid in mind and spirit, desperately trying to get back to the life you once knew. At the age of eleven, Victoria Arlen developed two rare conditions known as Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, which rendered her “locked” within herself.

About the Episode: When I tell people I'm certifying as Doula, I get so many questions; what is a Doula? What do Doulas actually do? I have midwives, do I still need a Doula? I'm having a hospital birth – Doulas only do homebirths, right? I want the drugs, don't Doulas just try to talk you into a natural birth? These are all valid questions that come up about Doula work as this profession becomes more regulated and mainstream, so I'm very excited and honoured to have a seasoned Birth and Postpartum Doula, Kristin Mundy, on today's episode of the podcast to share her accounts of this work and how beneficial having Doula support can be for families who are transitioning into parenthood or adding a member to their family.In addition to sharing openly about her experiences as a Doula, Kristin is also sharing about her harrowing experiences with Lupus SLE and Transverse Myelitis as well as pregnancy loss. Her story really touched me, as she overcame an extremely difficult prognosis that she may never walk again, over six years ago. Today, Kristin is completely healthy and thriving thanks to self-care, mindset work and low-toxic living.This episode is for you if you're pregnant and considering hiring a Doula, if you're interested in becoming a Doula – and especially if you're dealing with a challenging diagnosis or prognosis and need inspiration to help you to see how much healing potential we have within us! Bio: Kristin Mundy is a Birth and Postnatal Doula, a clean beauty advocate with Beautycounter and a low-tox living educator. Kristin first started her path to health, wellness and advocacy after she was given a life-changing diagnosis in 2013 of Lupus SLE and Transverse Myelitis, which left her paralyzed from the waist down.Kristin now has full use of her legs and has been in remission and medication free for almost 6 years — which she accredits to self-care, mindset, a nontoxic lifestyle, nutrition and inner self-healing. From her own navigation through the healthcare industry, she realized there was a big need for advocacy and education. That need combined with her love for womanhood — becoming a doula became her life's passion.Kristin now runs The Doula Life, a little hub on the internet that aims to empower mothers and arm them with educated information about birth, postpartum, how to be a conscious consumer and protect yourself from environmental toxins. Key Takeaways:Doulas provide physical, emotional and informational support to families during pregnancy, labour, birth and in the postpartum phaseWhen you're practicing heart-centred work, setting boundaries and practicing self-care is very importantOur health struggles become a part of our story, and can help propel us to creating our aligned lives Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.doula.life/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.beautycounter.com/en-ca/kristinoblak

Imagine being a normal kid for eleven years and then due to an unbelievable rare condition, spending the next four years of your life literally trapped inside your own body inside a hospital, unable to communicate with the outside world, suffering through non-stop seizures, while your condition worsens and the doctors offer no sliver of hope to your family...all the while you're still lucid in mind and spirit, desperately trying to get back to the life you once knew. At the age of eleven, Victoria Arlen developed two rare conditions known as Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, which rendered her “locked” within herself. She went from being a completely healthy, normal kid to a complete vegetable in three months. She lost the ability to walk, talk, move, and function. Everything began to shut down, including all of her cognitive abilities. Victoria Arlen not only suffered and survived through this unbelievable battle but has gone far beyond the norm to thrive and has mastered the “never quit” attitude to fuel her extraordinary accomplishments. She is a current television personality for ESPN, as well as an actress, speaker, model, and World-record setting Paralympian swimmer. Hear her compelling story in this podcast interview with hosts Marcus and Morgan Lutrell. Support the show.
Sarah Todd Hammer joins the program to discuss her journey, which includes becoming paralyzed from the neck-down at age 8 due to a rare neuroimmune disorder called Transverse Myelitis that damages the spinal cord. Since that time, Sarah has recovered the ability to walk and partial use of her arms and hands, and has gone on to write 3 books and is a dancer and choreographer.
David and Kristen check in to talk about how they are doing in this last episode of Season 1 of THIS IS THIS. When this podcast began in early March, Kristen had just broken her ankle. It was a little over a year since her Spinal Stroke and she was newly and definitively diagnosed with SS, rather than the earlier presumption of Transverse Myelitis. Today David and Kristen recap how far they've come, what physical and emotional hurdles continue to exist, as well as one or two things they look forward to. We'll be back August 12th with the first episode of Season 2. Thank you for joining us!

A severe vasculitis, probably therapy related, in a sixty-four-year-old man being treated for possible subacute bacterial endocarditis, was associated with the development of transverse myelitis.
