In this vital and technically complex presentation, Dr Scott Antoine explains why PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptoccocal Infection) are common and overlooked root cause of psychiatric symptoms in children (such as OCD, restrictive eating, anxiety, emotional distress, depression, dramatic mood swings, psychosis and suicidal ideation). In doing so, he encourages physicians to explore mental health in an entirely new way, especially in the treatment of children.    Dr Scott Antoine completed his undergraduate training at the University of Scranton, after which he completed his doctorate at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He later served in active duty with the United States Army as an Emergency Physician and worked as an Emergency Physician at St. Francis Hospital until 2019. In addition to his board certification in Emergency Medicine, he achieved board certification in Integrative Medicine and holds certifications in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and A4M. His book The Comprehensive Physicians Guide to the Management of PANS and PANDAS was released in February 2024 to excellent reviews.    He discovered his calling when he and his wife Ellen, also a Functional and Integrative Medicine physician, battled to correctly diagnose the root-cause of their 12 year old daughter’s sudden-onset OCD, insomnia, rage, as PANS. Since then, he has helped hundreds of children recover from PANS and PANDAS, and in 2019 helped to pass a law which prohibits insurance companies in Indiana from denying coverage for medical care (including IVIG) for children with PANS and PANDAS.   In this richly informative personable interview, he presents an evidence-based outline of the successful ways to both diagnose and treat PANS and PANDAS, and stresses that they are not nearly as rare as mainstream medicine seems to believe. He decodes complex medical expertise, referencing over 300 clinical studies and peer-reviewed medical literature, that identify biological mechanisms and the root causes that underlie PANS and PANDAS. In this episode, Dr Antoine unravels why PANS/PANDAS can have such a profound, often sudden impact on Children’s psychiatric health, and demands that PANS and PANDAS be considered more broadly in psychiatric diagnoses. In this episode you will learn how infections, toxins and the immune system interplay in the expression of harmful psychiatric symptoms, why they cause PANS and PANDAS, and how they can be successfully treated.   In this episode learn about: Why PANS and PANDAS are hidden and common root cause of OCD, violent mood swings, depression, anxiety and suicidality, how they are diagnosed, and the role of testing. Why physicians routinely overlook and even deny PANS and PANDAS as a cause of mental health symptoms. Why toxins and infections can trigger PANS and PANDAS and their associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. How Strep is related to autoimmunity and why to treat it even if strep tests are negative.   Why a range of infections - not just strep or Lyme borrelia - can trigger neuropsychiatric symptoms (OCD, attention issues, hallucinations, psychosis, depression, suicidal ideation), including other tick-borne co-infections, influenza, Epstein Barr, chlamydia pneumonia and Covid. Ways environmental chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins (mould) can lead to inflammation and autoimmunity. The concrete link between rheumatic fever and OCD, ADHD, mood issues and psychosis. Other causes of autoimmunity, including genetics, intestinal permeability, infection/T-cell activation and molecular mimicry  (the mechanism by which microbes can induce autoimmunity). The 4 vital components of treatment: 1) find and treat infections 2) find and remove toxins 3) re-regulate the immune system 4) break neurological loops (OCD, anxiety). How to treat infections using prolonged use of antibiotics, and which antibiotics to choose. Why herbs (isatis, baicalensis, cat’s claw etc) can reduce the duration of antibiotic use, and the studies that prove it. The binders (activated charcoal, zeolites, humic acid) and bitters that help remove toxins. Ways medications (naltrexone and steroids) can help re-regulate the immune system. Why and when IVIG is used for the treatment, why it can relieve and cure symptoms (OCD, anxiety and tics) quickly. How Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and hypnosis outperforms medications in breaking neurological loops (OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts) Other helpful interventions that assist healing; nutrients, diet changes and probiotics.

In this captivating live event for The MindHealth360 Show and Alternatives, Dr. Dan Siegel discusses his upcoming book, Personality and Wholeness in Therapy, released in November 2024. It gives practitioners insight into different types of personality, and shows how this understanding can be used to help clients live happier, more harmonious lives, and have better relationships. Presenting a revolutionary new way to incorporate neurobiology and its impact on personality into therapeutic practice, Dr. Siegel reveals his theory of developmental pathways. In doing so he addresses a key oversight in conventional therapy training: personality - both what the personality is scientifically, and how to work with it therapeutically. Dr. Seigel’s ground-breaking understanding of personality encourages therapists to unlock the neurological underpinnings of personality, and to help adjust ‘stuck’ personality patterns - often formed through poor childhood attachment or trauma - transforming it from a prison into a playground, to ultimately improve states of wholeness and wellness in patients. In this episode you’ll learn about: ·        What personality is and what it’s for. ·        Dr. Siegel’s nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs) in relation to the enneagram types, showing therapists the neurological basis of personality patterns as applied in therapy. ·        Ways temperament and attachment interact in the formation of personality, and what that has to do with childhood development as well as long-term relationships, our brains and our mental health. ·        The four key factors that shape temperament: sensitivity (activation of the nervous system), intensity (size of response), novelty (how reactive a person is) and tone (manner of response). ·        Why parental responsiveness to children’s temperaments is key to the outcomes of child development and well-being. ·        Why the in-utero experience is of being and wholeness, while being born is about surviving, and how this shapes personality. ·        Dr. Siegel''s three ‘vectors’ that mirror the enneagram; 1) agency 2) bonding 3) certainty, and how these impact a sense of wholeness, as well as the influence of ‘inward’ and ‘outward’ energies. ·        How therapists can use Dr. Siegel’s nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs) to improve the mental health of their patients, and why seeking ‘wholeness’ is the goal. ·        Why there is no such thing as a personality ‘type’ but rather why there are personality patterns. ·        Ways temperament and life experiences intensify our adaptive strategies, which can then become a prison of behaviour and feeling. ·        What personality imprisonment is and how therapists can identify negative dominant personality patterns (such as fear or sadness) and identify their root causes (often poor attachment or trauma); and how awareness can help us find our deeper self and free us from these personality prisons. ·        Why every measure of wellbeing is predicted by the interconnection of neurological pathways, how this is damaged by developmental trauma and non-secure childhood attachments, and ways to increase/repair pathways to enable them to flourish. ·        How mindfulness and therapeutic psychedelics can open neuroplasticity potential to alter seemingly fixed neurological patterns of behaviours. ·        Why personality structures become inflexible, how to find harmony between chaotic and rigid states, and why integration and attachment security are key. ·        Why modern society is traumatising, and what this means for the ‘Self,’ the personality, and our mental health.

In this episode, Silvia Covelli, a former social science researcher at Harvard University, successful business woman, single mother, and now founder and CEO of The Healing Depression Project, talks about her recovery from 25 years of treatment resistant depression. During this time, she explored over 60 different treatment modalities which failed to provide lasting relief, until she hit on a formula that worked. Drawing on her vast personal experience of suffering in silence while trying to find solutions, and her eventual recovery, she put together a groundbreaking programme to offer sustainable relief to those suffering from treatment resistant depression called “The Healing Depression Project” with a fantastic team of functional medicine psychiatrists, including Dr. Kat Toups and Dr. Achina Stein.  Silvia reveals the surprisingly simple yet transformative practices that helped her overcome years of depression. She offers actionable insights into her programme’s treatment plans and emphasises why identifying common biochemical root-causes of depression (such as toxins, poor gut health, hormone imbalance, and nutritional deficiencies) as well as making lifestyle changes (to include better sleep, diet, exercise, and meditation) are key to successful healing.    Silvia assures us that depression is not a life sentence and explains how those suffering from depression can sustainably heal. Now, her life mission is to share this programme and help others achieve sustainable and lifelong mental wellness. In this episode learn about:  Silvia’s four simple pillars for successful healing; 1) exercise 2) meditation 3) nutrition 4) prioritising sleep.   Why conventional treatments, including psychiatry and medications, not only failed to address Silvia’s symptoms (such as fatigue, poor cognition, anxiety, lack of connection, apathy, etc), but worsened them and created new ones.   Why you don’t have to accept medication for life – and where to find support as you de-prescribe.   How and why depression isn’t “just in your head” but has roots in biochemical imbalances.   Why mental trauma should be viewed in the same way as physical trauma.    The science of habit and how to embed lifestyle changes into daily life.   Why talk therapies, life coaching, somatic work, psychodrama and yoga are integral to finding Peace and Purpose.   What The Healing Depression Project is, how it’s underpinned by functional medicine psychiatry and how to apply for it.

In this fascinating conversation for the MindHealth360 Show, Pam Conboy and Leah Linder discuss an imminent and radical approach to mental health treatment: psychedelic therapy. When combined with spirituality, community, and functional medicine, this approach can be incredibly powerful for brain restoration, neuroplasticity, and mental healing. Pam Conboy is a biologist and clinical laboratorian who has worked most of her life in medical marketing but has been working in Naturopathic Functional Medicine spheres for the last 7 years, transforming her approach and understanding of medicine.  Leah Linder is a naturopathic physician. Following significant patient interest in the healing power of psychedelics, she was blown away by the wealth of research on the power of psilocybin to successfully address depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental health conditions as a breakthrough therapy endorsed by the 2018/19 US Food and Drug Administration. Reconnecting a year ago, they discovered how psilocybin can be used legally and therapeutically in the context of a religious entity. Founders of the Setas Seminary Church of Spiritual Integration, the first legitimate non-profit church using psilocybin for therapeutic use under the Religious Freedom Act, their treatments sincerely incorporate elements of naturopathic medicine, holistic spirituality, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. In this groundbreaking interview, they explain the remarkable effects of psilocybin on our biochemistry to reveal why it can not only powerfully and sustainably address mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD when used in an integrative and therapeutic way but can also be truly life-changing for those who use it. In this episode, learn about: How the Religious Freedom Act enables the use of psilocybin within the church setting. Ways psilocybin kickstarts the healing process, and why it works significantly more effectively than antidepressants via the 5-HT serotonin receptors. How microdosing can help individuals taper off SSRIs. Why the therapeutic space is key and the importance of the therapist witnessing/holding in the healing journey. How recreational use can go wrong, and why the Church hasn’t seen a 'bad trip.' Why the psilocybin used in the Church is safer than SSRI medications, where their psilocybin is sourced, and the rigorous testing involved. The three therapeutic psilocybin dosing categories, and the circumstances in which they are applied: 1) micro-dosing 2) moderate dose 3) full dose Ways the full dose generates a significant psychedelic experience, why it is taken in ceremony and how it works long-term. How psilocybin can create neural pathways/connections, as shown in MRI scans, and how it can vastly increase neuroplasticity and the growth of brain cells quickly – giving sufferers a jump start into better mental health. Why whole mushrooms, rather than molecules, are used and ways they are anti-inflammatory. Why psilocybin is only one of many tools in the healing toolkit, and why the integration of community, naturopathic medicine, EMDR, light therapy, etc., is also vital, and how the Church facilitates this approach. The early research showing that psilocybin can prevent neurodegenerative diseases and stabilize the endocrine system, pointing toward its potential to treat many areas of poor health. Some incredible case stories from churchgoers, ways it can unexpectedly bring to the forefront and heal past traumas, and why psilocybin therapy can be life-changing.

Within our mental health crisis, there are some tools most of us have access to; one of the most influential is food. In this compelling episode, Dr. Uma Naidoo discusses the profound impact of nutrition on our mental health and explains why a bad diet is the leading cause of poor health worldwide. Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Harvard trained, board-certified psychiatrist, professional chef and nutrition biologist. Founder and Director of the first and only hospital based nutritional and metabolic psychiatry service in the US, and author of This is your brain on food and the up-coming Calm your brain with food, Dr. Naidoo is a leading expert of nutritional psychiatry. Grounded in nutrition science and evidence-based research, in this episode, Dr. Naidoo explains why a bad diet is the most common root cause of poor mental health; anxiety, depression, poor concentration, and other mental health concerns. She discusses the power of the gut-brain connection and reveals how a healthy diet—one which includes prebiotics, fermented foods, fibre, clean proteins, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids—can help with mental health symptoms. In this fascinating interview discover which foods target anxiety, which relieve depression, which enable key neurotransmitter production essential to mental wellness, and learn why our diets are fundamental to our mental health.   In this episode, you’ll learn about:   ·         How nutrition can help mental health conditions and why whole foods and nutrients improve mental wellbeing. ·         Which foods target anxiety, and why anxiety is the most prevalent mental health disorder of the post-pandemic era. ·         Why what we eat works in synergy with medications and other therapies to improve mental health. ·         How the biological mechanism of nutritional psychiatry shows the centrality of the gut-brain connection in anxiety, depression, poor concentration, insomnia, and other mental health issues. ·         Ways a diet rich in vegetables, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats, enable the production of neurotransmitters – dopamine, serotonin, glutamate and GABA – within the gut microbiota, any why this is essential to good mental health. ·         How neurotransmitters are synthesised in our brains to cross the blood-brain barrier, and the vital role of amino acids (derived solely through diet) in this process. ·         The lasting impact of the Covid pandemic on our diet and our mental health; what we can do to combat poor health through conscious eating, and why fast foods as an occasional treat offer a sustainable and realistic approach to lasting dietary changes. ·         Ways ultra-processed foods damage our health and the hidden threat of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) – a food thickener widely used in processed food–to our gut microbiome. ·         Which foods feed good mental health, reduce inflammation, improve gut microbiome, and combat poor brain health – including prebiotic foods, fermented foods, fibre, clean proteins, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids – and ways they can be obtained simply through food. ·         Why fibre from whole grains–quinoa, spelt, barley, buckwheat and teff – can be vital to the relief of poor mental health, and anxiety and depression in particular. ·         How dark natural chocolate can really help us feel better! And why it can help ease symptoms of depression. ·         Which spices and herbs calm your mind and soothe mental health symptoms.    

In this extract of his presentation for IMMH 2023,, Dr. Robert Hedaya, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University and founder of the Whole Psychiatry & Brain Recovery Center showcases his cutting edge HYLANE treatment protocol which has proved very successful in treating previously intractable psychiatric and neurological problems. With decades of experience in both conventional and functional psychiatry, Dr. Hedaya has developed a unique approach that combines functional medicine with cutting-edge technologies like hyperbaric oxygen,quantitative EEG (qEEG) and photobiomodulation therapy to optimise brain function and enhance treatment outcomes. Dr. Hedaya shares case studies, including one of a patient suffering from cognitive decline and prosopagnosia (facial blindness), who experienced remarkable recovery after combining functional medicine protocols with high-tech brain treatments. His insights highlight how these advanced methods can repair not only the biochemical terrain of the body but also the brain's function. Dr. Hedaya’s approach offers hope for patients with complex psychiatric and neurological conditions by combining functional medicine with high-tech brain treatments to achieve optimal outcomes. His work demonstrates that when the brain's hardware (the structural - neurons and their synaptic and biochemical connections) and software (character, psychology, schemas, belief systems)) as well as the cloud (spirituality and psyche) are addressed together, patients can experience significant recovery even in conditions traditionally deemed untreatable. In this episode, you’ll learn about: The limitations of conventional psychiatry and how functional medicine can provide more comprehensive treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders by treating underlying issues such as hormone imbalances, neuroinflammation, and environmental toxins. The role of quantitative EEG (qEEG) in diagnosing brain dysfunction and guiding targeted treatments like transcranial photobiomodulation (laser therapy). How HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) can promote healing of the brain’s hardware. The impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on mental health and how advanced therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and laser therapy can restore brain function. Highlights from a groundbreaking case study of reversing cognitive decline and facial blindness using HYLANE combination treatment  The success of combining personalised and layered treatments, including diet, gut healing, hormone therapy, detoxification and advanced brain technologies for better neuropsychiatric health. How qEEG can identify abnormal brain function that traditional scans may miss, providing more accurate diagnostic insights, and how qEEG-guided therapies can improve memory, word recall, and focus in patients with neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive decline. The role of advanced brain mapping technologies in targeting specific brain areas for personalised treatments.

In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, we explore the future of healthcare with James Maskell, a pioneering advocate for functional and integrative medicine, author of “The Evolution of Medicine” and “The Community Cure” (check titles), and founder of the largest global network of functional medicine educational and practitioner groups, the  “Functional Forum”. Mr. Maskell discusses the growing burden of chronic diseases, the limitations of conventional medicine and how functional medicine addresses the root causes of illness, as well as the importance of community based care for healing. Mr. Maskell has been at the forefront of efforts to make functional medicine more accessible and effective at scale. The conversation covers the development of community-based healthcare models, such as group medical visits, which combine the power of social connection with medical care. Mr. Maskell explains how these models can enhance patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and address psychosocial factors that contribute to chronic disease. He emphasises the need for a shift toward participatory and preventive healthcare, where patients are active participants in their health journey. In this episode, you’ll learn about: - The Role of Functional Medicine in Chronic Disease Management: explore how functional medicine's root cause approach can reverse chronic diseases by focusing on personalised care, and lifestyle interventions while simultaneously addressing underlying physiological imbalances. - Innovative Group Medical Visits: learn about the implementation and effectiveness of group medical visits in functional medicine. These visits not only address the medical needs of patients but also provide social support, which is crucial for improving outcomes in chronic illness and mental health. - Health Economics and Functional Medicine: understand the financial implications of adopting functional medicine in healthcare systems. Mr. Maskell discusses how functional medicine can lead to significant cost savings by reducing the need for chronic disease management through medications and frequent hospitalisations. - Psychosocial and Psychospiritual Factors in Healthcare: mr. Maskell highlights the importance of addressing psychosocial determinants of health, such as loneliness and stress, which are often overlooked in traditional medicine but are critical for effective chronic disease management. - Integration of Functional Medicine into Mainstream Healthcare: discover the challenges and opportunities in bringing functional medicine into mainstream healthcare systems, including overcoming resistance from traditional medical practices and the pharmaceutical industry. - The Impact of Community in Healthcare: mr. Maskell's work demonstrates how community-based approaches can enhance patient engagement, adherence to treatment plans, and overall well-being, particularly in managing complex, chronic conditions. - The Future of Functional Medicine: insights into how technology and data-driven approaches are being integrated into functional medicine to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment personalisation and scalability of care models.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, are “chronic conditions that damage and destroy parts of your nervous system over time, especially your brain.” According to mainstream medicine, “these conditions are permanent and incurable, but many are now treatable thanks to medical advances. Currently, the main goal is to treat the symptoms and slow the progress of these conditions when possible”.  We also know that neurodegenerative disorders are the leading cause of physical and cognitive disability around the globe, affecting 15% of the world population, and are expected to double over the next two decades. Given that neurological disorders are so prevalent and on the rise, and given that mainstream medicine has few options other than symptom management, it is vital for the prevention and reversal of neurodegenerative disease to look elsewhere. Integrative and Functional Medicine has a lot more answers to neurodegeneration than mainstream medicine, and Dr. Ken Sharlin is a neurologist who has transformed his conventional neurology practice to incorporate more integrative and functional medicine approaches into his practice for better patient outcomes.  In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, we are joined by Dr. Ken Sharlin, author of *The Healthy Brain Toolbox*, who shares his journey from conventional neurology to a more holistic practice, emphasising the importance of addressing lifestyle, environmental factors, and personalised medicine in treating conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and MS. Dr. Sharlin discusses how modern neurology has traditionally focused on diagnosis and limited treatment options, often missing the opportunity to explore and address the root causes of neurological diseases. He explains that while medications and surgeries are valuable, they represent only a portion of the available tools. By incorporating functional medicine principles, including therapeutic lifestyle changes, environmental toxin mitigation, and addressing metabolic syndromes like "diabesity," Dr. Sharlin has expanded his toolbox to offer more comprehensive and effective care.  One of the critical insights from Dr. Sharlin is the role of the gut-brain connection and how gut health can significantly influence brain health, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. He also delves into the emerging role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress as primary drivers of diseases like Parkinson’s. Dr. Sharlin emphasises the importance of early intervention and personalised care, recognising that no two patients are the same, even when they have identical diagnoses.

In this vivacious and informative presentation for IMMH 2023,Dr. Arwen Podesta, board certified in psychiatry, addiction medicine, holistic & integrative medicine, and forensic psychiatry, and author of Hooked  and Dr. Joe Mather, board certified in family medicine and functional medicine, discusses their fruitful experience of working together as a collaborative, intra-disciplinary team for better patient outcomes. They also discuss how to use integrative approaches to diagnose and treat the root causes of mental health symptoms, and delve into the key drivers of mental illness, and their most effective, evidence-based non-pharmaceutical treatments.  In this fascinating and lively presentation, Dr. Mather and Dr. Podesta illustrate on a case by case basis the way they interact on a patient’s care, bringing their unique and separate approaches to bear, and showing how the power of their collaboration yields much better results than when they work alone. They take us through the key workups and diagnostic labs; the most common biochemical root causes of mental health issues; and the most effective evidence-based solutions.  In this interview learn:  What is a great definition of integrative medicine, and why is it so effective for helping patients heal?  How collaborative care works in practice, avoiding its potential pitfalls, and why it’s more fun and yields better patient outcomes than when each doctor working in their silos The most common mental health symptoms, their most frequent biological root causes, and how to best diagnose them The most common genetic SNPs associated with mental disorders and why these don’t always need to be tested but can be ascertained through phenotype The 8 key evidence-based non-pharmaceutical interventions that have been shown to help with mental health and addiction An overview of the key hormones, nutrients, toxins (including moulds and heavy metals), gut and methylation issues affecting mental health and addiction   

In the latest podcast episode of the MindHealth360 Show, Dr. Aimie Apigian delves into the neurobiology of trauma and how it impacts our mental and physical health. As an MD with a background in biochemistry, public health and functional medicine, Dr. Apigian bridges the gap between the biochemical and the psychological aspects of trauma. She explains how life experiences are stored in the body and how trauma can lead to nervous system dysregulation, contributing to various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Aimie Apigian, MD MS MPH is a leading medical expert on how life experiences get stored in the body and on accelerating the trauma healing journey through her signature model and methodology, The Biology of Trauma®, based on her personal health and trauma journey. In this episode, learn about: The interconnectedness of the nervous system and the immune system and the connection of the autonomic and central nervous systems.  How dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system drives mental and physical health issues.  How one individual neuron cell is getting signals, and its receptors, and its mitochondria.  The role of our biochemistry in understanding trauma and nervous system dysregulation. How chronic stress and trauma can lead to cellular dysregulation and chronic symptoms. Practical approaches to restoring the body's health through integrative trauma therapy. The importance of creating micro-moments of safety to support the healing process.   We are so excited to announce that Dr. Apigian will be one of our keynote speakers at the IMMH 2024 Conference in Washington DC from 10-13 October. She will be presenting on the neurobiology of trauma and effective integrative approaches to healing.
