Epilepsy for Dummies: The Podcast Interview Pt 2 with Dr Elizabeth Thiele and Lauren Aguirre

Welcome to part two of embracing our dummy-ness! In this episode, Greg continues the conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Thiele, a neurologist and epileptologist, and Lauren Aguirre, an author, journalist, epilepsy patient and caregiver to her children that also have epilepsy. They authored the next installment of the incredibly popular "For Dummies" series of books from Wiley, and their book "Epilepsy for Dummies" will be everywhere books are sold at the end of the month, but you can pre-order or download it in digital formats NOW!

In this part two, they discuss looking at epilepsy from the perspective of both the patient and the medical professional which really helped them take a wholistic look at the condition for the book, the ketogenic diet, all of the valuable information that can be found within the book, new research in TSC, and stick around for the end because they take rapid fire questions from Greg about epilepsy and caregiving.

There is so much valuable information in this episode, which is just a taste of what you will find within the pages of their new book. Seriously, folks, whether you are a patient with epilepsy, a caregiver, an educator, or just a good citizen, you NEED to get your copy!
