Podcasts about Wendy Wagner

What if your symptoms weren't isolated… but signals in a much larger system breakdown? In this wide-ranging solo Q&A, Dr. Linda Bluestein uncovers the hidden threads connecting uncontrolled pain before surgery, unexplained eye issues, MCAS, multiple chemical sensitivity, Alpha-gal syndrome, and even autism risk. From the scar tissue no one warned you about to the medication that works—but doctors won't prescribe—it's all here. Dr. Bluestein shares eye-opening research on TILT (Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance), fragrance-triggered flares, and why standard pre-op care fails patients with connective tissue disorders. And woven throughout it all? The heavy, frustrating stigma that people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders know too well—being dismissed, doubted, and disbelieved. This episode doesn't just give answers. It reveals what questions you should have been asking all along. Takeaways: This one over-the-counter product might be behind your chronic eye issues—and no one's talking about it. Considerations and cautions for taking cromolyn A “safe” eye ointment led to lasting damage—here's why. Doctors say no to pain meds before surgery… but do they know the full risk? A tick bite and subsequent food allergy changes everything—even your shampoo. Find the episode transcript here. Reference Links: EP 140 with Dr. Brayden P.

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, welcomes Chicago-based physical therapist Wendy Wagner to discuss the unique challenges of physical therapy for hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Wendy, who personally manages EDS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), shares her journey, insights on cervical instability, and tips for choosing the right physical therapist. They dive into the importance of “starting low and going slow” in exercise, strategies for avoiding flares, and how to tailor physical therapy to individual needs. Whether you're looking to build strength or simply move without pain, Wendy's expertise provides guidance and practical hacks to make physical therapy safer and more effective for hypermobile bodies. Takeaways: Physical Therapy Requires Customization: Traditional PT often doesn't suit hypermobile patients, who benefit more from individualized programs that focus on stability and gradual strength-building. Start Low, Go Slow: Many patients with EDS need to begin with very small movements to avoid overloading their joints and worsening pain or instability. Building Confidence is Essential: Overcoming kinesiophobia (fear of movement) is key for hypermobile patients, often requiring exercises that first build trust in their bodies. Mindfulness and Body Awareness Matter: Breathing exercises, body awareness, and even posture adjustments can help patients avoid compensatory movements and pain. Collaboration is Key in PT: Finding a PT willing to learn and work collaboratively is crucial for hypermobile patients to safely navigate physical therapy.

Episode 123 of the Check Your Six Podcast brought 3 lovely ladies into the GRP Studios to talk about Exit Global Realty. Wendy Wagner, Kristina Peacock and Alena Rivera all joined me today and explained how a meeting that may or may not have included wine and napkins resulted in them joining forces and becoming a part of what is Exit Global Realty. These ladies obviously love what they do, they love the clients/customers that they deal with on a regular basis and they love giving back to the community in both personal and professional ways. We talked about competition, (or is it really competition), how they are different from some of the other realtors in the industry, how they approach business, the ability to work 24/7 and how a rising tide lifts all of the boats!!! Great time with these ladies, love their passion for what they do. You can check them out at https://www.exitglobalrealty.com/

How are you today and did you enjoy my episode #5 BATMAN, Riddler, and Moth? I'm always excited to learn about your thoughts, reactions and opinions. Just as you like to learn about what happens on the shows I've done as well as my life stories that you enjoy. I think you know today will be about the GREEN HORNET. The first day I recall going to the studio was Exciting and Truthfully, I Just didn't know what to expect although looking forward without question or any doubts. The Director was Darrell Hollenbeck, a man who definitely knew his business. Shortly after I met the handsome Van Williams playing dual parts transforming from businessman into the Green Hornet who fought for justice along with Kato. Also there was the very pretty Wendy Wagner as his assistant. My character was Vama from outerspace and I was the very first female to ever ZAP DOWN and KNOCK-OUT Bruce Lee. This action became History !! I met Bruce at the studio for the first time and believe it or not, there was an immediate friendship. I'll explain .... For sure It seemed that right off the bat he and I clicked and Bruce began sharing many things in his life. The Green Hornet was his first acting role in America and as you know Bruce was a good looking guy and had been, of course a star talent in martial Arts Kung Fu in Hong Kong films. I believe that was the chief reason he was chosen as Kato to be the Kung Fu Protector of the GREEN HORNET !!! Although Bruce never talked about his wife Linda that, coincidentally was My Name and well it could have been because my name was the same as his wife's that he may have felt an unexpected comfort level. All be it, during "takes & filming", a special and trusting friendship began between us. Yes, he was "Kato" the Green Hornet's Protector but much more than that, the Legendary Kung Fu Master "Bruce Lee" who was destined to become an American Icon. THEE LEGENDARY KUNG FU MASTER .... BRUCE LEE ... By the way, July 9th 1967 Bruce wrote in his diary that he named his marshal arts style, "Jeet Kune Do". My very first day of shooting was the day I met Bruce as he approached me almost immediately and began talking about his career. Well, what would YOU do if you were me? Listen of course, right!! And LISTEN is exactly what I did. He kept looking directly at me all the while chatting on and on wanting advice about his life. I never had anyone do that before. There were times he would stare into my eyes but then quickly look away all the while continuously talking; Sometimes he'd step back and look down immediately as if he was unsure of himself. Since I hadn't known him for any length of time I would always listen, and also because We had an immediate friendship. This would happen every day that I was on or off set, he'd find me no matter where I was, whether or not I was in costume or waiting to change into being the golden VAMA. During breaks was his favorite time to come over and begin talking. His main focus was always on his career which encompassed something that saddened me. From his voice I could feel his pain from something deep inside that he wasn't fully accepted being Chinese in the Hollywood film community as he was desperately striving to become an accepted and known star. Being overly sensitive myself, I could recognize and feel his sensitivity regarding those who did not appear to fully accept him. Those who at times might whisper or even sometimes halt their conversations when they saw us talking together. He was gentle and treated me with great respect as he asked my opinions about almost everything in his life. He would say many times I respect your opinion, and you're smart and very educated, a special and beautiful lady.

When was the last time you read every page of Senate bill, processed each word of a mortgage agreement, or even parsed through an app's terms and conditions? If you're inclined to scroll straight to "accept," you're not alone. And as law professor and author Wendy Wagner writes in a new book, this idea of information overload is purposefully baked into the foundation of America's most important institutions. On this episode of DISCOVERY, Wagner discusses examples from politics, science, finance and more to illustrate how comprehensibility of information — or lack thereof — negatively impacts consumers.

Disclaimer: We will be talking about sexual abuse and other disturbing topics. Listener discretion is advised. Strip-search hoax A prank caller pretending to be a police officer instructed fast-food managers to strip-search female employees forcing them to jog naked, do jumping jacks and perform other humiliating acts. He made more than 70 of these calls in the United States over a 12-year period. Why do we obey? Some of the managers were charged with rape and kidnapping as a result of these pranks. How could they fall for such a prank? The truth is, humans are programmed to respect authority. But why do we obey? In this episode, you'll hear real audio from Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience and authority. The results are shocking. Bonus episode Donna Summers, the manager from the McDonalds restaurant in Mount Washington, sued McDonald's for failing to warn her about the previous hoaxes. She asked for $50 million. She was awarded $1 million in punitive damages and $100,000 in compensatory damages. Listen to my conversation with her attorney Wendy Wagner.

This week, we’re on the Writing Excuses cruise! We’re recording from the middle of the Baltic Sea, just off the coast of Sweden as we attend the fifth Writing Excuses retreat. We go into some of what to expect on the retreat and the fun things we’ve experienced so far in Europe–for example, a live taping of the Tea & Jeopardy podcast. But we’re really missing our Coke Zero. We also left an impromptu scavenger hunt prize for one of our lucky listeners in a Copenhagen bathroom! We’re discussing Wendy Wagner’s book An Oath of Dogs. We really loved the world building and the sense of danger that we felt from the flora and fauna on Huginn. We’d definitely like to read a sequel. Sadly, we also watched Kong: Skull Island, which was visually lovely, but lacked a cohesive story. Next week, we’ll be recording from Germany as we make our way to Worldcon!

We're super excited about the new Doctor Who. If you can envision a 900-year-old time lord with a soft spot for humans, but can't picture them as a woman, GTFO. We also loved the A Wrinkle in Time trailer. Ava Duvernay and Storm Reid are two of our favorite creators! Then, we heard the D23 announcement about dedicated Star Wars and Marvel lands, plus the immersive Star Wars resort hotel. How will the muggles LARP?! We loved Wendy Wagner's reading and trivia game for An Oath of Dogs, but we didn't love the movie Passengers. Spider-Man was earnest and too good for this world. Why on earth was an AI encouraging Peter Parker to kiss a girl during a dangerous moment? We confess that we didn't finish the entire Hugo voting packet, but we did come close, and we got our voting finished. We talk about China Mieville's This Census-Taker, Kai Ashante Wilson's A Taste of Honey and Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric and the Shaman. And finally, even though it's not speculative, we love the Ear Hustle podcast; created by two inmates in San Quentin prison. Next week, we're talking about Wendy Wagner's new book An Oath of Dogs and hopefully seeing at least one more summer release film. And if you're in the Seattle area, don't miss Daniel Jose Older (with guest DJ and Clarion West '16 alum Gabriel Teodros) at the Seattle Public Library on Tuesday, July 18th.

In episode 4, student leadership programs publishing star, Wendy Wagner, joins to discuss upcoming work, the 20th anniversary of the Social Change Model, how to successfully build an academic leadership course, Susan Komives' clairvoyance, and why she can't watch Top Chef and Project Runway anymore.

First Story: “They Would Only Be Roads” by Darin Bradley Prester fingered the chain–he’d pulled it from the tank behind one of the commodes downtown, in Idio, the old feed-mill turned nightclub near the depot. The chain had absorbed such faith in the dank water, pulling endlessly as expected–as the clubbers believed it would. Prester imagined each flushing synapse exhausting its neural blast all the way through the chain and into the water, where it rippled gently into the lime-scarred porcelain. Idio’s clubbers had no doubt empowered the chain to degrees that, no matter how he found his gnosis, Prester would never fully measure. The tarnished scars on the delicate chain’s aged links reminded him of flowers, complete with rusted stems and lines of calcium like pale roots. He took a deep breath as he eased out of his reverie, now acutely aware of his apartment’s water-stained breath. With a cough, he eased the chain back into his pocket–it had invaded his thoughts with... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
