Episode 44: IpsiHand by Kandu- The Latest on Brain-Computer Interface Technology
2026/06/02
Host Polly Swingle is joined by Lauren Souders, MOTR/L, CBIS, CSRS, and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Neurolutions, to talk about the IpsiHand device for stroke recovery. As an occupational therapist by training, Lauren has spent her entire career in adult neurorehabilitation. She began as a clinician at The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, an affiliate of Washington University in St. Louis, where she worked alongside the research team that conceived IpsiHand in its earliest days. She helped author the initial study protocol and has grown with the company ever since - shepherding the technology through clinical trials, peer‑reviewed publications, and the regulatory pathway that earned IpsiHand both FDA Breakthrough Device designation and De Novo clearance. After clearance, she helped lead the organization through commercialization and into broader clinical adoption.  Lauren has authored numerous publications and delivered presentations at national and international forums, but her most enduring focus is advocacy: ensuring that stroke survivors have evidence‑based access to therapies that meaningfully improve their quality of life. That mission is personal. Beyond the patients she has cared for, Lauren brought her grandmother into her own home during the COVID‑19 pandemic and cared for her after she sustained a severe stroke — an experience that deepened her understanding of the toll stroke takes on families as well as individuals.  She is also a mother of three, including a child with a rare neurogenetic condition, and is a passionate advocate within the pediatric neuro-community as well. Her and her husband also share their home with three crazy dogs. When she isn't working or advocating, she can most often be found visiting family in Bermuda.

Episode 40: Strength Training And Menopause, What Every Woman Over 30 Must Know
2026/03/11
Episode 40 takes on a different format, as Polly Swingle is a guest on the EmpowerHer Wellness Podcast hosted by Morgan Ekovich! Menopause doesn't mean your best years are behind you—but it does mean your body needs a different approach. In this powerful conversation, host Morgan Ekovich sits down with Polly Swingle, a licensed physical therapist with 39 years of experience, to break down the real changes happening in women's bodies during perimenopause and menopause—and what to do about them. Polly, who is also a yoga instructor for 15 years and currently pursuing her Pilates certification at age 62, shares evidence-based strategies for combating muscle loss, bone density decline, joint pain, fat distribution changes, and mood disruptions.

If you've noticed your metabolism slowing down, strength decreasing, or body composition changing despite eating less and exercising more, this episode will transform how you think about fitness, nutrition, and aging. Polly explains why strength training is the "new medicine" for women, why cardio alone isn't enough, and how much protein you really need to support muscle growth. Whether you're in your 30s and want to prevent future issues, navigating perimenopause symptoms, or already postmenopausal, this conversation offers practical, actionable advice from someone who has both personally experienced these changes and professionally guided thousands of women through them. WHAT LISTENERS WILL LEARN: ✅ Why muscle loss begins in your 30s (not your 50s)  ✅ Understanding osteopenia vs osteoporosis  ✅ How to naturally reduce or eliminate hot flashes ✅ Protein requirements for muscle building: How much women actually need  ✅ Fat distribution changes explained ✅ How decreasing estrogen and testosterone affect muscles, bones, joints, mood, and cognition ✅ Joint pain and inflammation management ✅Understanding the cognitive impacts of hormonal shifts and how exercise helps ✅ How Yoga and Pilates support pelvic floor health, flexibility, core stability, and nervous system regulation ✅ Recovery and sleep hygiene: ✅ Why following age-appropriate experts and finding supportive groups matters for long-term success ✅ How to reframe menopause Join Morgans 90-Day Kickstart Program: Customized strength training + nutrition baseline + habit building + weekly accountability.
