Beyond POTS: Understanding the Complex Web of Dysautonomia

In this episode of My POTS Podcast, Dr. Joseph Schneider explains how Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is often one component of a broader autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Drawing from his 35 years of experience as a functional neurologist and his personal stroke recovery journey, Dr. Schneider examines the intricate relationship between the brain's regulatory centers and multiple body systems. He and co-host Joseph Quirk provide an extensive overview of how dysautonomia affects various aspects of health, from temperature regulation to digestive function. The discussion explores the critical role of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis in maintaining bodily homeostasis and how its disruption can lead to diverse symptoms. Listeners will learn about the impact of neuroinflammation on autonomic function and discover innovative, non-pharmaceutical approaches to treatment. This episode offers valuable insights for both patients and healthcare providers seeking to better understand and address autonomic disorders.

The Real Reason You're Not Getting Better After Injury

Dr. Joseph Schneider reveals what actually happens inside your brain after trauma and why most people never fully recover. When your brain suffers injury, it triggers an inflammatory storm that rewires your entire nervous system, often leaving you with a "new normal" of chronic pain, cognitive issues, and fatigue. Most patients end up managing symptoms with bags of supplements or multiple medications instead of addressing the root cause. Dr. Schneider explains how brain trauma creates a cascade of dysfunction affecting everything from digestion to decision-making, and why traditional segmented care fails to restore proper function. He shares a case study of a patient who went from severe movement disorders to playing basketball again using targeted neurological rehabilitation. Instead of accepting diminished capacity, learn how precision diagnostics and brain-specific therapy can help you function at full capacity again. This episode challenges everything you think you know about brain injury recovery.

How Iontophoresis Delivers Cellular Energy Without Needles

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Schneider sits down with Dr. Roy "Buzz" Korth to explore the science behind NAD+ and its delivery through innovative Push Patch technology. Dr. Korth explains how NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, leading to decreased cellular energy and slower healing, while describing how iontophoresis allows for needle-free, sustained delivery of this critical molecule directly into the bloodstream. They discuss the challenges of traditional NAD+ supplementation methods, including limited oral bioavailability and lengthy IV administration, and how the Push Patch overcomes these limitations by delivering 1300mg over 12-14 hours. Dr. Schneider shares insights on how NAD+ enhances mitochondrial function and neuroplasticity, making it particularly valuable for POTS patients and those recovering from brain injuries. Through patient success stories and clinical observations, both doctors highlight how this therapy improves mental clarity, energy levels, sleep quality, and athletic performance by supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms.

The Adjustment Revolution: Why Brain Recovery Can't Be Rush-Delivered

Dr. Joseph Schneider teams up with Dr. Adam Klotzek to challenge the "one-week miracle cure" mentality plaguing functional neurology today. They dissect why intensive treatment programs often fail patients with chronic fatigue, POTS, and post-concussion syndrome, revealing how these rushed approaches ignore the basic metabolic limitations of damaged nervous systems. Dr. Klotzek explains how proprioceptive input from spinal joints provides the foundation for all brain development, making chiropractic adjustments far more than just pain relief tools. The conversation takes a personal turn when Dr. Schneider shares his stroke recovery experience, including his ongoing battle with "floppy foot syndrome" and how it mirrors the joint instability seen in patients misdiagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. They explore the interconnected web of sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction that requires comprehensive treatment protocols rather than cookie-cutter solutions. Both doctors advocate for a return to thorough examination, gradual progression, and respect for each patient's unique metabolic capacity. The episode concludes with Dr. Schneider describing the remarkable growth spurts he witnesses in children with developmental disorders when their nervous systems finally receive proper support.
