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.

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.

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.

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.

Two Patients, Two Impossible Recoveries: What 37 Years of Practice Taught Me About Hope

Dr. Joseph Schneider reflects on attending the wedding of a former patient who suffered a devastating hockey concussion in eighth grade, losing 18 months of his life to chronic migraines, fatigue, and medical disbelief. This celebration triggered memories of another remarkable case: a college ROTC student with severe amnesia who couldn't remember his own brothers after a car accident. Both patients were written off by conventional medicine, yet both went on to build successful lives through comprehensive functional neurology treatment. Dr. Schneider explains why segmented care approaches fail in complex brain injury cases and how his integrated functional neurology and functional medicine protocols address the full spectrum of neurological dysfunction. He discusses the critical role of autonomic nervous system rehabilitation in treating Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and dysautonomia, and why addressing both neuroinflammation and neuroplasticity simultaneously produces lasting results. Drawing from decades of experience treating thousands of complex cases, Dr. Schneider explores the difference between surviving and thriving after brain injury, offering hope to patients currently struggling with conditions that mainstream medicine considers permanent. This episode provides insight into the comprehensive approach needed for true neurological recovery and the life-changing potential of functional medicine.
