    Interested in the best habits for you and your clients to improve healthspan not just lifespan?  Join as Erin and Claire talk with Dr. Mike Studer PT, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, FAPTA, a renowned physical therapist and author, to discuss his new book "The Brain That Chooses Itself."  We asked Mike our burning questions from the concepts in the book to help demystify information around exercise vs physical activity, sleep, nutrition and more. Some of the questions we addressed were how to provide choice to clients in a way that doesn’t overwhelm them, how to understand when the activities we’re doing or choices we’re making are releasing neurochemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, why Mike says “exercise is medicine” is dead and more!

  • 251: How To Make Life Better For People With PD TODAY With Russell Meyerowitz
    In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo and Claire McLean interviewed Russell Meyerowitz, the founder of the Parkinson Wellness Fund, a nonprofit with a mission to help PWP (people with Parkinson’s) by providing funds for services and equipment that will make life better right now. The Parkinson Wellness Fund was born out of Russell's desire to provide immediate relief and support to families affected by Parkinson's, in contrast to the heavy focus on research and finding a "cure" in the other nonprofits in the Parkinson's community. Russell emphasized the need to address the realities of living with Parkinson's today, including the significant financial and emotional toll on people and their loved ones. The Parkinson Wellness Fund provides grants averaging $350-$400 to cover a wide range of needs, from fitness classes and home modifications to assistive devices. The organization is committed to removing barriers and making their services accessible to all PWP, regardless of their financial situation or location. Russell shared his perspective on the challenges of the current healthcare system and research landscape around Parkinson's. He questioned the focus on finding a "cure" when the costs of living with Parkinson's are already so high for many families. Instead, he advocated for a greater emphasis on improving quality of life through exercise, nutrition, and accessible support services. Russell shared stories of how the Parkinson Wellness Fund has helped families connect with resources and find hope in the midst of their struggles.

  • 250: Uncovering The Role Of Speech Therapy In FND With Jenn Freeburn, MS, CCC-SLP
    In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, host Erin Gallardo interviews speech-language pathologist Jenn Freeburn about her work treating patients with functional neurological disorders (FND). Freeburn, a specialist in acquired motor speech and cognitive communication disorders, provides a fascinating overview of the often overlooked role of speech therapy in this complex condition. Freeburn explains that 30-50% of patients with functional motor symptoms may also experience speech-related issues, ranging from stuttering and functional dysarthria to changes in prosody and vocal quality. SLPs can also work with patients with functional cognitive disorder, a lesser-known aspect of FND that can involve memory problems, word-finding difficulties, and other cognitive challenges. As well as functional swallowing disorders, which often overlap with vocal symptoms and can lead to significant weight loss and deconditioning. In terms of treatment, Freeburn emphasizes the importance of a thorough assessment and a patient-centered, collaborative approach. She shares examples of creative techniques, such as using external cues, distractions, and even mimicry, to help patients regain natural speech patterns. Freeburn also highlights the potential for significant improvement, noting that some patients can achieve near-complete recovery of their symptoms. Throughout the conversation, Freeburn advocates for increased awareness and understanding of the role of speech therapy in FND and a collaborative approach.

  • 249: Navigating The PhD Journey And Advancing Vestibular Expertise With Christina Garrity, PT, DPT, NCS
    In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, host Erin Gallardo sits down with Christina Garrity, PT, DPT, NCS who is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Cincinnati. Christina took an unconventional path into her PhD and has gotten a new appreciation for our profession in the process. She provides insights into the time commitment and coursework involved, highlighting the focus on research ethics, study design, and statistical analysis while also being a clinic owner. While Christina’s outpatient clinic focuses on vestibular patients, her PhD research focuses on stroke and why she likes this. In the show we discuss how to be a responsible consumer of research literature because there are things you may not be seeing unless you think more critically. Christina also shares her perspectives on the practical application of clinical practice guidelines and the necessity of individualized care. Christina is also the lead mentor in the collaborative group VestiBesties. In VestiBesties, she appreciates the ability to provide real-time feedback and guidance to participants, addressing advanced vestibular assessments, concussion interventions, and other complex topics.

  • 248: Tackling the Challenges of Treating Ataxia With JJ Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS
    As rehab professionals, we often face unique challenges when working with patients who have ataxia. In today’s episode Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, J.J. Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD, NCS and Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS have a group discussion about working with people with it. One of the primary challenges is that often there can be slow progress. This can be exacerbated by the diverse underlying causes and presentations of ataxia, making it difficult to develop standardized treatment approaches. In today’s show we’ll discuss a couple of main points the research emphasizes to incorporate in your treatments for people with ataxia. We’ll discuss the question of how to divide up your time in the session, how to uncover what their true capabilities are, and how to balance care partner training into sessions.  Some treatment examples include incorporating sensory input, start-stop techniques, resistance training, whole task versus part task training, ocular motor training and visual tracking exercises to address the challenges patients face with balance and stability. Join us for a free webinar on working with patients with Ataxia on Jan 28, 2025! Register here: Navigating Ataxia Treatment: Practical Tools for PTs and OTs
