Attachment Theory, just hanging in there

In this episode Preston and Margaret dive into the science and personal experiences surrounding attachment theory. They discuss its origins, its modern-day interpretations, and how it shows up in everyday relationships. Takeaways: Attachment is Dynamic: Attachment theory isn’t a fixed diagnosis—it’s a lens to understand how people relate to others and themselves. Repair Builds Resilience: Healthy relationships are not conflict-free but can recover from disagreements and grow stronger. Pop Psych Oversimplifies: Modern discussions about attachment styles often miss the nuance and flexibility inherent in these frameworks. Therapy is Practice: Therapy can rewire attachment patterns by creating safe spaces for emotional repair and connection. Humor as a Shield: Humor can be a tool for connection but also a way to avoid vulnerability—knowing the difference matters. — Watch on YouTube: @itspresro Listen Anywhere You Podcast: Apple, Spotify, PodChaser, etc. — Produced by Dr Glaucomflecken & Human Content Get in Touch: howtobepatientpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Knock Knock Eye: United Healthcare Is A Wealth Of Content

In this episode I break down the latest research on Ozempic and its potential link to NAION (non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy), a rare condition that can lead to sudden vision loss. I also reflects on UnitedHealthcare’s continued public relations missteps, including its latest legal threats against physicians and anybody on social media, speaking out about the company. Takeaways: The Ozempic and Blindness Connection: Dr. Flanary explains a recent observational study that suggests Ozempic may increase the risk of NAION, a condition that affects the optic nerve. However, the data isn’t conclusive yet, and more research is needed before drawing firm conclusions. Uveitis and the Syphilis Conversation: If you have eye inflammation (uveitis), your doctor may need to test for syphilis—leading to some of the most awkward conversations in ophthalmology. Dr. Flanary explains why this is necessary and how it helps with proper diagnosis. UnitedHealthcare’s PR Nightmare: The insurance giant recently hired a law firm to threaten doctors on social media, proving once again that they’re more focused on silencing criticism than improving patient care. Does Everyone Need Cataract Surgery at 60? Not necessarily! While cataracts affect nearly everyone with age, surgery should only be performed when they significantly impact vision. Dr. Flanary explains how doctors decide when it’s time for surgery. Do We Really Need a Spleen? Dr. Flanary debates whether two livers would be better than one liver and a spleen, adding yet another hilarious (but oddly insightful) take on human anatomy. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Intro, tale of two doctors

In this debut episode of How to Be Patient, psychiatry residents Preston Roche and Margaret Duncan open up about their personal journeys into medicine and the challenges they’ve faced in connecting with patients—and themselves. From navigating early patient interactions to grappling with their own vulnerabilities, they explore the balance between authenticity and professionalism. With humor, candid storytelling, and a dash of introspection, this episode sets the stage for a season of thoughtful discussions on empathy, growth, and the art of being present in healthcare. Get ready for the tale of two doctors! Takeaways: Empathy is a Skill: You don’t have to be born with it—learning how to connect with patients can happen over time and with practice. Authenticity Matters: Medicine isn’t about pretending to be perfect; it’s about finding a way to unify your personal identity with your professional role. Vulnerability is Strength: Struggles, failures, and even embarrassing moments can be powerful tools for connecting with others. Creativity Fuels Resilience: Exploring hobbies and personal interests, like Margaret’s Bad Art Every Day project, can help you stay grounded during stressful times. Reflection Unlocks Growth: To truly understand and support patients, start by looking inward and understanding your own emotions and biases — Watch on YouTube: @itspresro Listen Anywhere You Podcast: Apple, Spotify, PodChaser, etc. — Produced by Dr Glaucomflecken & Human Content Get in Touch: howtobepatientpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

47. Exploring the Link between Joint Hypermobility and Neurodivergency with Jessica Eccles, MRCPsych, PhD

Evidence shows that neurodivergency occurs at a higher rate amongst people with hypermobility disorders. And we know that anxiety is also prevalent in the hypermobile population. When we look at neurodivergency, hypermobility, anxiety, and dysautonomia, we see hints of lines drawn between them. Might science soon be able to connect the dots? Jessica Eccles, senior clinical academic psychiatrist at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and specialist in brain-body neuroscience, returns to speak with Bendy Bodies about neurodivergency, hypermobility, and possible links with anxiety and the autonomic nervous system. In February 2022, Dr. Eccles published the peer reviewed journal article, "Joint hypermobility links neurodivergence to dysautonomia and pain". She discusses the fascinating results of her research, and explains why neurodivergency, dysautonomia, and pain appear to be connected via joint hypermobility. Dr. Eccles shares her findings of higher levels of musculoskeletal symptoms in the study’s neurodivergent population vs the comparison group, and wonders if this may be a potential reason why people with neurodivergency experience more health symptoms. She explains the importance of raising awareness of the link between joint hypermobility and neurodivergency in the medical community, and discusses how anxiety is linked to joint hypermobility and possibly autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Dr. Eccles shares her work on the ADAPT program, a program aimed at reducing anxiety with a combined brain-body approach in hypermobile people. Still in its early stages, the program (Altering Dynamics of Autonomic Processing Therapy) has fascinating implications. Finally, Dr. Eccles reveals her current research projects and shares her hopes for future research. An incredible, accessible discussion by one of the top researchers in this field, this is an episode not to be missed. #neurodivergency #BendyBrain #dysautonomia #AutonomicNervousSystem #anxiety #ActuallyAutistic #adhd #ADHDAwareness #ASD #AutisticPride #DisabilityInclusion #RedInstead #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwareness #neurodivergent #AutisticAdults #neurodiversity #autistic #autism #BendyBodies #BendyBodiesPodcast #JenniferMilner #ZebraStrong #hypermobility #HypermobilityDisorders --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bendy-bodies/message Learn more about your ad choices.

44. Navigating Pregnancy with Shanda Dorff, MD

Pregnancy can be a time of new physical challenges, and hypermobility may make the season even more complex. Hormones can change tissue elasticity and the body may struggle to adapt. Dr. Shanda Dorff began working with connective tissue disorders in 2008 and has helped countless women through pregnancies and beyond. She imparts her hard-learned wisdom to Bendy Bodies on this complicated subject. Dr. Dorff shares important considerations for someone with connective tissue disorders to consider in a pregnancy, and discusses higher-risk issues with various types of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. She lists things to watch for during pregnancy, and gives advice on how to prepare for possible complications during a delivery. Dr. Dorff offers things to do - and avoid - during the post-partum weeks, as well as exercise considerations for hypermobile athletes during and after pregnancy. Finally, she reveals possible considerations for breastfeeding when hypermobile, and suggests ways to find specialists to help someone navigate a “bendy” pregnancy. For any bendy body considering pregnancy, as well as all healthcare providers, this episode shares decades of hard-won expertise with our listeners.

48. Supporting the Foot and Ankle with Andrea Zujko, DPT

Hypermobility can help the artist create aesthetically pleasing lines with one of the most obvious locations involving the foot. And while many artists envy the banana feet that sometimes accompany excessive ranges of motion, having hypermobile feet and ankles can just as often bring complications. Andrea Zujko, a physical therapist who works regularly with dancers from New York City Ballet and from all over the world, takes the opportunity to chat with Bendy Bodies about some of the common difficulties that flexible feet may face. Andrea discusses ankle sprains, and why they may need more recovery time than you might think. She explains the importance of an ankle bone called the talus and shares wisdom on maintaining its healthy range of motion. Andrea looks at stress fractures and how they can occur in artistic athletes, and explains the importance of evaluating the entire body when addressing foot and ankle problems. We discuss bunions in bendy feet, and Andrea shares secrets for working with bunions. Finally, Andrea discusses common tendon issues seen in hypermobile artists, the importance of strength conditioning, and techniques for controlled stretching. Proving that a small area can have a big effect on the rest of the body, this discussion is one to be listened to several times over. #ankle #Ballet #DancerFeet #BalletFeet #BalletDancer #HypermobileFeet #DanceTraining #DancersOfInsta #BalletTeacher #DanceInjuries #BalletLife #hypermobility #hypermobiledisorders #hypermobilitymd #BendyBodies #bendybodiespodcast #hypermobilitydisorders #bodiesinmotion #JenniferMilner --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bendy-bodies/message Learn more about your ad choices.

61. Getting Back Up Again with Keeya Steel

Life with multiple chronic illnesses is physically and mentally challenging. Feelings of exhaustion and emotional fatigue crowd in with physical symptoms and can be overwhelming in your daily life. How do you find balance? How do you find a way forward and regain joy in your life? We posed these questions to Keeya Steel, founder of the popular Hells Bells and Mast Cells on social media. As someone who lives with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), and hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), she is all too experienced at trying to find that balance. Keeya shares her journey through a childhood peppered with “you’re making this up” accusations, as well as her diagnoses as an adult that brought relief and despair in equal measures. Keeya speaks openly about how humor helped her find her way forward through some dark days, and her decision to share that humor with the world. She shares her emotional journey to accepting her chronic illnesses and disabilities. Keeya also explains the online course she created with Dr. Linda Bluestein on optimizing medical appointments with complex illness, and why she wanted to share that course with others. Keeya reveals tips on getting the most out of doctor’s appointments and discusses her experiences with finding new medical professionals. “In the end,” Keeya says, “I want people to be more open to hope and future joy.” An inspiring episode for us all so don’t miss it!
