Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Dr. Torkil Faero, an MD from Norway about his book, The Pulse Cure, The revolutionary new way to balance stress, optimise health and live longer, which looks at ways to monitor and keep this same system in balance using wearables.   While wearables don’t teach you lifestyle habits, they can help train you to stay regulated.  Torkil shares how he felt like his role as a doctor of ‘heroically saving’ people after they were sick felt backwards and he started looking for simple cost effective ways to get people interested in reclaiming their own health by tracking sleep, diet, exercise, oxigination and heart health.  What he found was this was an incredibly easy way for him to keep a dialogue going with his patients while tracking their progress. Ultimately, this is a conversation about how to empower us to stay well with simple practices ... which should be the goal of true health care. https://thepulsecure.com https://www.amazon.com/Pulse-Cure-revolutionary-balance-optimise/dp/1529437334

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Dr. Dan, a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician for the 3rd time on the podcast to discuss bedwetting, medically known as nocturnal enuresis. There are no medical interventions proven to solve this challenge, but Dan has been working for decades helping children who lose control while sleeping to wake up proudly in their warm, dry beds. For both parents and children, this can be one of the most frustrating and embarrassing disorders for an otherwise healthy child. Clinical hypnosis helps to reprogram an otherwise well regulated system which has only become faulty during sleep. Jeremy and Dan discuss their experience with with this condition through their complementary integrative methods and take us through a clinical hypnosis session, to show the exact method used to reprogram bed wetting and other behavioral challenges. Lots to learn for any parent who has a dysregulated child.

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Kelsey Reardon, a pediatric nurse and integrative medicine practitioner here in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota. Having worked as a school nurse and as an in patient and out patient provider, she’s recently branched out this past year to create her own clinic setting where she’s finding more freedom to hone her skillset incorporating more holistic pediatric care modalities, including Chinese medicine and acupressure, pediatric massage, aromatherapy, yoga, reiki and most importantly, education.  As they discuss here, it’s incredibly important to continue to build a modal for a more integrative approach to care where individuals and families are able to be exposed to new tools that can address challenges as they come up and prevent them from ever becoming chronic conditions.  So many great considerations in this conversation for both parents and practitioners of care.  https://fourpillarspeds.com/
