Z-Score Neurofeedback and Brain Connectivity: Precision Brain Mapping

Dr. Joseph Schneider interviews Dr. Richard McAlister (DC, DAAPM, BCN, QEEG-D), a leading QEEG and neurofeedback expert, revealing breakthrough brain mapping technology tracking 6,900 connectivity points for precision neurological rehabilitation. In this technical episode of the My POTS Podcast, the two functional neurologists discuss Z-score neurofeedback protocols allowing injured brains to witness their own activity and reorganize without the hammer approach of transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. McAlister explains neuroanatomy behind alpha rhythms, T-calcium channel mechanisms creating synchronous bursting patterns, and why thalamic dysregulation guides treatment targets. Patient outcomes include a 72-year-old feeling better than 20 years ago, an 8-year-old jumping two grade levels in six weeks, and addiction patterns showing alcoholics' alpha suppression before their first drink. Dr. Schneider emphasizes why POTS treatment requires addressing autonomic dysfunction as the foundational system driving metabolism and brain energy. Brain Master's upcoming X-Loretta technology expanding to 12,000 voxels enables cerebellar mapping for unprecedented treatment specificity. To learn more about Z-score neurofeedback, comprehensive QEEG brain mapping, and precision neurological rehabilitation, listen to the full episode on My POTS Podcast and visit HopeBrainCenter.com. Understanding how brain connectivity guides recovery changes everything about treating neurological conditions through targeted plasticity instead of symptom suppression.

How Proper Breathing Can Transform POTS Recovery

Dive into the often-overlooked foundation of neurological recovery as Dr. Joseph Schneider reveals how breathing mechanics directly impact POTS symptoms. In this informative episode, Dr. Schneider breaks down the critical relationship between diaphragmatic breathing and your autonomic nervous system, explaining why many POTS patients struggle with improper breathing patterns that exacerbate their condition. Through clear explanations of the phrenic nerve pathway and medulla oblongata function, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why chest breathing leads to physical discomfort and autonomic dysfunction. Dr. Schneider introduces practical tools like HeartMath training and the Maffetone Method that can help recalibrate your respiratory rate and improve heart function. This episode offers tangible breathing techniques for anyone experiencing fatigue, anxiety, or digestive issues related to POTS - potentially the missing piece in your recovery journey.

POTS Isn't Just Fast Heart Rate and Why Your Brain Holds the Key

Dr. Joseph Schneider clears up the confusion between postural orthostatic tension syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) on My POTS Podcast, explaining why both terms describe the same debilitating condition. He breaks down how POTS affects far more than heart rate, causing dangerous blood pressure drops that lead to fainting, falls, and serious injuries when patients try to stand or climb stairs. The episode explores the cascade of symptoms that follow, including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, digestive issues, and reproductive problems that leave patients unable to work or care for their families. Dr. Schneider explains how damaged autonomic nervous systems create this widespread dysfunction, whether from inflammation, toxins, mold, COVID, or vaccines. He introduces Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) as a diagnostic tool that reveals brain communication patterns—connecting the thalamus, hypothalamus, and various neural pathways that control automatic body functions. Rather than managing symptoms for life, Dr. Schneider advocates for regenerating damaged brain and body systems through proper diagnosis and targeted treatment protocols.

Why POTS Misdiagnosis as Functional Neurological Disorder is Destroying Lives

In this episode of the My POTS Podcast, Two veteran functional neurologists expose the dangerous trend of POTS misdiagnosis as functional neurological disorder (FND) that's leaving patients without proper treatment. Medical research on Frontiers, confirms that many patients with autonomic disorders are frequently misdiagnosed with FND, making it difficult to obtain further diagnostic and therapeutic care. Dr. Joseph Schneider and Dr. Adam Klotzek reveals why POTS patients are being labeled with psychological disorders when they actually have measurable neurological dysfunction from brain injuries. They discuss shocking cases, including a 26-year-old pilot whose hands leak water like faucets after car accidents, yet doctors diagnosed him with functional neurological disorder instead of treating his obvious brain trauma. The conversation exposes why traditional cardiology approaches miss the central nervous system dysfunction driving POTS symptoms and demonstrates how targeted cerebellar therapy can reduce severe autonomic symptoms by 50% in a single session. This episode challenges the psychiatric labeling of POTS patients and reveals the real neurological causes behind heat intolerance, exercise intolerance, and autonomic dysfunction.
