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 Neurological Revolution: Innovative Approaches to POTS & Complex Health Challenges

In this reunion episode, chiropractic classmates Dr. Joseph Schneider and Dr. Mark Sanna reflect on their educational journey before diving into the complex world of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) treatment. Dr. Schneider explains how patients with POTS face cascading symptoms affecting multiple body systems, leaving them frustrated after visiting major medical institutions with six-month waiting lists and limited treatment approaches. The conversation highlights how functional neurology and brain scanning technologies can identify inflammation patterns in the brain, especially common in post-COVID patients. They discuss the importance of patient education and the value of giving patients all-inclusive information about their condition rather than oversimplifying. Dr. Schneider also shares his personal health journey that led him to open the Hope Regenerative Medicine Center, which integrates various disciplines including peptide therapies to address complex neurological conditions from POTS to cerebral palsy.

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.

Advanced Eye-Tracking Technology Reveals Hidden Brain Function in Real-Time

Dr. Joseph Schneider partners with Dr. Freddys Garcia from Spryson USA to introduce revolutionary eye-tracking technology that's changing how we diagnose and treat neurological conditions. Using advanced VNG goggles operating at 250 frames per second, they can now detect microscopic eye movements completely invisible during standard bedside examinations. Dr. Schneider shares the story of an 18-year-old with autism who couldn't perform a single normal eye movement—and how this technology helped achieve a 60% improvement in his visual function, enabling him to use his phone and socialize for the first time. The episode reveals how this integrated platform combines 3D virtual reality, precise eye tracking, and rotary chair technology to map brain function through eye movements, providing immediate feedback on treatment effectiveness. Dr. Garcia explains how the massive database they're building will eventually help detect neurological diseases years before symptoms appear. The Hope Brain & Body Recovery Center receives this complete rotary chair system this fall, representing a major advancement in precision brain rehabilitation that delivers measurable results within a single treatment session.
