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.

Chicken and Broccoli: How the Keto Diet Healed My Brain After 4 Traumas

After surviving four traumatic brain injuries including a windshield impact, drunk driver collision, tubing accident, and hemorrhagic stroke with an aneurysm rupture, Dr. Joseph Schneider discovered the ketogenic diet protocol that triggered autophagy and cleared the hemorrhagic scab from his brain in just four months. In this deeply personal episode of the My POTS Podcast, Dr. Schneider reveals how the Zone diet's 40-30-30 macro-nutrient balance at a 2005 Barry Sears seminar in Boston became his roadmap to neurological recovery after years of severe sleep apnea, dysautonomia, and dangerous blood pressure spikes following his 2004 accident. Dr. Schneider explains why pasture-raised meats provide optimal omega-3 fatty acid balance, how autophagy cleared brain debris conventional medicine said was permanent, and why Wharton's jelly stem cell therapy finally enabled daily exercise eight years post-stroke. He shares the comprehensive approach combining ketogenic nutrition, interactive metronome therapy, CPAP for sleep apnea management, and faith-based daily commitment that transformed him from barely functioning to running one of the world's premier brain injury recovery centers. This New Year episode challenges the glucose-dependent model of brain metabolism and offers hope for anyone told their brain damage is irreversible.

Understanding how macro-nutrient balance and ketone metabolism support brain healing changes everything about recovery from traumatic brain injury and stroke.
