POTS Isn't Just Fast Heart Rate and Why Your Brain Holds the Key

Dr. Joseph Schneider clears up the confusion between postural orthostatic tension syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) on My POTS Podcast, explaining why both terms describe the same debilitating condition. He breaks down how POTS affects far more than heart rate, causing dangerous blood pressure drops that lead to fainting, falls, and serious injuries when patients try to stand or climb stairs. The episode explores the cascade of symptoms that follow, including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, digestive issues, and reproductive problems that leave patients unable to work or care for their families. Dr. Schneider explains how damaged autonomic nervous systems create this widespread dysfunction, whether from inflammation, toxins, mold, COVID, or vaccines. He introduces Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) as a diagnostic tool that reveals brain communication patterns—connecting the thalamus, hypothalamus, and various neural pathways that control automatic body functions. Rather than managing symptoms for life, Dr. Schneider advocates for regenerating damaged brain and body systems through proper diagnosis and targeted treatment protocols.

How a 70 Year Old Man Recovered His Personality After Devastating Brain Injury

When Ernie collapsed unconscious on his neighbor's driveway at age 67, doctors quickly addressed his heart condition but missed the devastating brain injury that would steal his personality, trap him in his home, and leave him feeling hopeless. After two and a half years of failed treatments at multiple facilities, this retired healthy man found himself stuck in a cycle of brain fog, dizziness, and depression that traditional rehab couldn't break. His journey led him to Dr. Joseph Schneider's Hope Brain Body Recovery Center, where a comprehensive 10-week neurological retraining program began to restore not just his cognitive function, but his sense of self. Ernie shares how the second half of treatment became the turning point where his wife finally saw glimpses of the "old Ernie" returning. This episode reveals why treating brain injury requires more than addressing individual symptoms and why hope becomes the foundation for neurological recovery. Dr. Schneider explains how his own stroke experience shaped a revolutionary approach to brain rehabilitation that goes beyond conventional therapy.

Healthy People Have Down-Regulated Vestibular Systems and Never Know It

Dr. Joseph Schneider and Jerome Rerucha discuss massive vestibular down-regulation in non-symptomatic populations who never realize their balance systems operate far below capability. In this conversation on My POTS Podcast, Jerome reveals how vestibular down-regulation affects even healthy people when comparing average populations against figure skaters, gymnasts, and divers demonstrating superhuman vestibular function through triple axels and complex rotations. The vestibular system develops at 5 weeks after conception, before eyes and ears exist, yet remains the greatest untested gap despite controlling cardiovascular health, mood, and immune function beyond basic balance. Dr. Schneider explains the four-grid assessment requiring visual, auditory, proprioceptive, and vestibular alignment since each grid independently affects autonomic function. Gyrostim reveals hidden dysfunction when cognitive tasks spike symptoms from zero dizziness to level six nausea. The conversation covers Dr. Schneider's 13-year POTS struggle after an auto accident and engineering background designing power plant simulators before discovering chiropractic. Discover four-grid neurological assessment and Gyrostim technology, listen to the full episode on My POTS Podcast, and visit HopeBrainCenter.com. Understanding that healthy people have massively down-regulated vestibular systems compared to the capability changes everything about preventing future dysfunction before symptoms force attention.
