    Hey So We Really Need to Talk About MAHA (Pt. 1)

    Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’ll be dissecting the “MAHA Report” as well as it’s strategy and “MAHA ELEVATE” proposal. Please know that there will be several more parts to this series so if there’s anything you think I didn’t get to or is worth emphasizing, I will absolutely be doing follow-ups and want you to hang tight - I very much hear and mirror your concern. Researching this episode has been heartbreaking like none other and I just appreciate you all taking the time to listen. Please review the sources below for all information, it is of the utmost importance right now that we all stay informed. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit ⁠https://hily.go.link/jRMKW I do also plan on searching for actionable items and ways to recognize front groups, but I do need some time to collect and format that information. Please know that hope is never lost.  Nuance: I do apologize for my poor pronunciation of some medical conditions and other words, I am someone who loves to research outside of a school context so I don’t get to hear most of these words spoken out loud by others. I foresee some red-hat-supporters running with this point for “evidence” of me being unintelligent and I’m covering my bases for when that eventually happens. My main reason for pointing this out is not to prevent people making fun of my pronunciation but more of a demonstration on how predictable some people are. Reminder: I love answering questions, if you have an assumption on any of my political stances, please just ask. *Spoiler* I am not a fan of the United States military and have very strong, informed opinions. Edit for 31:50 - I accidentally referred to RFK Jr. as “JFK” - this was a mistake lol.

    Let’s Discuss “Whiny Women,” Women’s Health, and the Hantavirus

    Welcome to this week’s episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are continuing our discussion of May health observances, as well as why I think “whiny women” is the most IRONIC label and we’ll also be touching on the emerging Hantavirus outbreak. Please make sure to check out all the resources below, it is important to stay informed *especially* as an American, considering *gestures to current administration.* I just want to take the time to say, if you have chronic pain, I absolutely believe you. The world has been cruel and made you hide, belittled you, gaslit you, and that is a massive load of BS. It is cruel, unfair, and outright wrong - I am sending you support, resources, and will continue researching and speaking out because no one should ever have to “suck it up.” Also, the part about getting advised by a group of people with pain medication addictions is a joking suggestion. However, it would behoove everyone to get acquainted with the addiction community, seeing as how a lot of these conversations involve us but do not actually involve us as individuals. ● Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/jRMKW — Book Resources — Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal - Rachel Zoffness, PhD ADHD: Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health - Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System - Matt Richtel Attention: Beyond Mindfulness - Gay Watson Organ Speak: What It Really Means to Listen to Our Bodies - Giulia Enders — “Whiny Woman” & Laryngeal Manifestations Resources — The Whiny Woman, written by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD Role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal expression of emotion The role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal behavior Chronic Pain Syndromes and Their Laryngeal Manifestations Laryngeal Involvement in Connective Tissue Disorders.

    Let’s Talk About Betrayal Trauma (Pt. 1)

    Thank you for y’alls patience, this week we’re finally discussing betrayal, betrayal trauma, and betrayal blindness. I sincerely apologize for getting derailed last week, hopefully this week’s episode shows you guys that I am course correcting and making up for the delay. Yes, this caption does seem quite serious but I’m just taking the time to display what this episode is all about. Hopefully you all enjoy the research I’ve collected because I sure as heck did.  Next week we’ll be going into the neuroscience of betrayal blindness as well as the “freeze” response - so be prepared for a very cold Schauer.  -Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/jRMKW Make sure to ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ on Youtube, as well as rate me five stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts or any place you get your podcasts.
