POTS & Dysautonomia: Beyond Symptoms to Root Causes

Continuing their discussion from Episode 7, Dr. Joseph Schneider and Joseph Quirk dive deeper into the complex world of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and dysautonomia at the Hope Brain and Body Recovery Center, exploring how these conditions disrupt multiple body systems and require individualized treatment approaches. The experts discuss hidden factors like mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, and cortisol imbalances that can trigger or worsen symptoms, explaining why morning hours are often most challenging for patients. They address both weight gain and loss patterns, examining physiological rather than mental causes behind eating difficulties and digestive dysfunction. The conversation highlights their specialized exercise with oxygen therapy techniques that carefully monitor heart rate fluctuations and recovery times to prevent patient setbacks. For those struggling with the debilitating effects of POTS—from being unable to get out of bed to experiencing brain fog and limited functionality—this episode offers a science-based perspective on comprehensive testing and personalized rehabilitation strategies. The Hope Brain and Body Recovery Center in Chaddsford, Pennsylvania welcomes patients seeking intensive or gradual recovery programs tailored to their specific needs.

Why POTS Misdiagnosis as Functional Neurological Disorder is Destroying Lives

In this episode of the My POTS Podcast, Two veteran functional neurologists expose the dangerous trend of POTS misdiagnosis as functional neurological disorder (FND) that's leaving patients without proper treatment. Medical research on Frontiers, confirms that many patients with autonomic disorders are frequently misdiagnosed with FND, making it difficult to obtain further diagnostic and therapeutic care. Dr. Joseph Schneider and Dr. Adam Klotzek reveals why POTS patients are being labeled with psychological disorders when they actually have measurable neurological dysfunction from brain injuries. They discuss shocking cases, including a 26-year-old pilot whose hands leak water like faucets after car accidents, yet doctors diagnosed him with functional neurological disorder instead of treating his obvious brain trauma. The conversation exposes why traditional cardiology approaches miss the central nervous system dysfunction driving POTS symptoms and demonstrates how targeted cerebellar therapy can reduce severe autonomic symptoms by 50% in a single session. This episode challenges the psychiatric labeling of POTS patients and reveals the real neurological causes behind heat intolerance, exercise intolerance, and autonomic dysfunction.

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.

POTS & Dysautonomia: Training Through Fatigue and Finding Balance

My POTS Podcast hosts Dr. Joseph Schneider and Joseph Quirk tackle the relationship between Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and dysautonomia, revealing how these conditions impact cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and neurological systems uniquely in each patient. They discuss their exercise with oxygen therapy approach for monitoring heart rate, oxygen levels, and recovery times—identifying when patients reach metabolic thresholds as heart rates unexpectedly drop during activity. The conversation extends beyond exercise to examine environmental triggers like mold exposure and heavy metals, hormonal imbalances affecting morning symptoms, and metabolic factors causing weight fluctuations. The hosts detail how brain performance suffers when these systems break down, resulting in brain fog, slowed reaction times, and memory issues that significantly impact daily functioning. Listeners gain insights into identifying hidden inflammation triggers through food sensitivity testing, managing exercise intensity appropriately, addressing gut dysbiosis, and balancing the critical triad of neurological input, muscle function, and fuel delivery essential for 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.
