Dude, Where’s My Vitamin A, E, C, D, B2, B6, B9, and B12??
2026/10/24
Apologies for the late upload! I cannot stress how absolutely devastated I am that I recorded for forty minutes towards the end and only video (not audio) recorded! There will absolutely be a part two to this because I have much more to say and share! That aside, please enjoy this weeks episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are going on a long journey through the land of light and LEDs so hide your vitamins and slather on the sunscreen because subject-matter will be quite photoDEGRADING. Ayo! Word play *untz untz* I will also be discussing my research on the *historically* shared diagnosis of autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy and *part of* my theory for why that was. Again, I must apologize because the part that tied them all together was included in the portion that did not have audio.  What I am NOT saying here:  Artificial lighting is universally bad. Artificial lighting is the sole cause of any chronic/ immune/ psychological disease, disorder, or diagnosis. There is nothing to be done to protect yourself, your vitamins, your health from light pollution. Vitamins and turning off your lights are the cure for everything! Remember folks, nuance! And yes, absolutely feel free to run this by your dietician, PCP, therapist, etc. Please enjoy and know that more resources are coming.

Ukraine, Russia, and a Smattering of Health Literacy!
2026/10/15
Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering vast expanses of the topical board, and yes, I checked my medication and realized I did not take my Vyvanse. Thanks to that ADHD misstep we will be going over: a *potential* case of securities fraud, the ins and outs of heart failure, erectile tissue in the nose, what’s happening with Russia and what it means for American elections, as well as a new documentary coming out on *slams head against wall* Elon Musk.  Thank you all for your continued support, it means the absolute world to me. I would just like to say, if your child was automatically enrolled into a Trump Kids Account, please strongly consider picking up “The Second Estate” (listed below) as it’ll give you an amazing primer into why the Trump Kids accounts are a bad idea and potential ways to navigate the situation. There will be a separate episode on that coming soon. Hope you all enjoy this weeks episode!

2026/10/09
Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering my 32nd birthday, what Donald Trump said about Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as going over some climate-related menstrual nuance. Is that a wide range of discussion points? Yes, but that is the essence of Schauer Thoughts, so get ready to go on a topical saga!

We Are All Jane Doe
2026/09/30
Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we will be discussing the “Cornell 7” and the horrific gang rape of Jane Doe. I am so mad and you should be too, rape is a systemic issue and we all need to stand up and demand answers, demand accountability, and demand a world where justice can swiftly and with the full force of the law be served.  Discussion of the “Cornell 7” does begin at the later half of the episode but please know it’s not because I am pushing it’s importance to the back, it’s because this exact thing has happened to me and I’m allowed to discuss it at my own pace. Thank you for understanding. Nuance for my rant on Jimmy Carter: He did try more than *one* environmental initiative and did create CERCLA (I appreciate that) but he could have done so much more and did not. If my direct communities - farmers and those I’ve been elected to represent (the people of the United States) lives were on the line, I would have done so much more.  SA Resources Substack Post  https://substack.com/home/post/p-218383219  The letter count wouldn’t let me add all these resources so I put them into a Substack post - please visit for resources and ways to get involved.

You read that right, a recipe for Alzheimer’s. This week on Schauer Thoughts we’re doubling back on a previous episode with some new and very interesting information! Join me on a journey through the body to the brain and out again and please, tip your waiter. “Why is this caption so short?” Because I have limited letter allowance and a lot of sources. 86 that attitude and enjoy! Previous episode I keep referring to: July 22, “The Good, The Bad, the Incredibly Nuanced” https://open.spotify.com/episode/0FrRNutkWpakiUg8i0ANi6 I would strongly prefer you listen to this first.

Most of my information on inflammation, LDL cholesterol, fatty acids (long chain vs short chain) and much more I discuss can be found in this book broken down with exquisite detail. The Human Brain Book: A Visual Guide to Structure and Function - Rita Carter Anything I mentioned about brain functioning, signaling, neurotransmitters, olfaction, etc. can be found in this book. I would highly recommend this one if you’re looking to learn a lot on the brain. Pg. 204 - the adult brain Pg. 206 - the aging brain Pg. 208 & 209 - Parkinsons, Dementia, & Alzheimer’s information Plastic: The Secret History and Shocking Future of Big Oil’s Biggest Bet - Beth Gardiner All of the information on the history of plastic, microplastics in the brain and body, as well as petrochemical points are in this book. The Menopause Brain: New Science Empowers Women to Navigate the Pivotal Transition with Knowledge and Confidence - Lisa Mosconi, PhD Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s - Charlies Piller Loving this book so far, it’s also great at breaking down the basics of Alzheimer’s and treatment directions if you’d like to know more.

Good Grief! Musings on the Neuroscience and Experience of Grief
2026/08/13
Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this episode we’re taking a long and winding journey through the land of loss and grief. I do appreciate everyone’s patience as this episode is going out Thursday - I sincerely hope you enjoy it. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who’s been so kind to me, we are strangers and the internet can be so cruel, but you guys haven’t been. I know sad comments get me down sometimes but I also see the kind messages and those have profoundly impacted me. I am grateful for y’alls kindness, support, and even just your time. I hope nothing but good things for each and every one of you - if you are grieving, please do not rush yourself, but know that there are options to “unstick,” even just for a moment. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster and I can’t wait to chat next week. Also, no pressure, but if you’d like to see me do stand up, this is the link for the show! I’m nervous but excited and can’t wait to get back into in-person comedy.

I think sleep is important for everyone, absolutely, but this point really drives home the importance of sleep for everyone with attention difficulties.  Books: Geometry of Grief: Reflections, Mathematics, Loss, and Life - Michael Frame Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Queer Expressions: Expressive Art and Somatic Therapy Practices for Healing Body Trauma - Wednesdae Reim Ifrach, REAT, ATR-BC, CLAT This Is What It Sounds Like: A Legendary Producer Turned Neuroscientist on Finding Yourself Through Music - Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas To learn more about your default mode network and music preferences, I highly recommend this book. It’s incredible and I chose it last year for book club and everyone seemed to like it. The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know - Shawn Coyne I really recommend this book for anyone writing a novel, I haven’t written one myself but I was at a script reading one time and the author (who was speaking) was asked about what book helped them write their story and they said “The Story Grid” and *with just how they were hyping it up* and the murmurs of agreeance from the room, I think it may be an industry favorite. But of course, this is just a recommendation, no pressure. Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People - G. Richard Shell This book has nothing to do with grief, it is written more for business negotiations, but at the time of picking it up I was in a “mental economy” (and very literal thinking) autism headspace. It’s an unconventional read for grief but it did help me and is currently helping me with the “bargaining” stage.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

2026/08/06
Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re continuing our discussion of the Disability Rights Movement - we’re covering the late 80’s, 90’s, and where we’re at today! There’s so much going on concerning Disability Rights but I hope what’s covered here, as well as all the resources discussed and linked below, fill your soul with some semblance of hope for the future. I do feel incredibly hopeful and I’m also incredibly determined and ready to keep applying pressure to this administration, directly or indirectly (we truly can do both.)  That being said, please also visit this website to stay up to dat on all anti-trans bills currently being introduced across the country.  2026 Anti-Trans Bills Tracker https://translegislation.com/ Thank you all so much for listening and joining me in this discussion, it’s incredibly important that we remain informed and engaged on all topics concerning civil rights as none of us are free until we are all free.  Also, apologies for the late upload, I have had a lot going on.

We’re Talking About the Disability Rights Movement! (Pt.1)
2026/07/29
Welcome to Schauer hour, I hope you’re ready to hear my thoughts lol. This week (and next) we’ll be discussing major milestones and events that happened and continue to happen during the Disability Rights Movement.  I do have to apologize in advance as *I am autistic* and *we do talk about autism* and *I am allowed to cry.* I realize emotions are just a natural part of being human but when I cry my voice gets quieter and becomes generally hard to hear, so next week I will enunciate better or take a moment to collect myself. I can’t wait to share more next time as I didn’t even make it to the passing of the ADA! But we will get there. I hope you enjoy and can’t wait to chat next week.

Shifting the Blame Back Onto Corporations and the Government in the Realm of Public Health!
2026/07/16
Can you all tell that I’m fed up? Welcome back to the Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re going to be a real pain in the behind to some massive corporations and *of course* the government - they have TRULY deserved this.  For too long the healthcare system has proposed a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” approach to health and wellness, but I ask y’all this, if it doesn’t work for the economy, why would it work for your health? Is that to say that we should all give up completely and stop taking care of ourselves? No. However, I am saying that we need to cut ourselves, everyone, neighbors, friends, etc. A LOT of slack. We are living in a polluted, corrupt hellscape and there’s only so much one can do to fight constant, all-consuming, non-consensual toxins.  Eat what you want, be who you want, stick it to the man, have some semblance of fun.

The Real Reason Women Were Banned from Clinical Research Trials in 1977
2026/07/09
Hi guys! Today’s episode is super duper long and I truly have stopped caring, there’s so much corruption in this world and it deserves to be covered. What corruption are we going over this week? Glad you asked! This is a continuation on our deep-dive into WHY women were actually banned from clinical research in 1977. It is absolutely crucial we understand who is behind this as *ahem* women matter and it’s also Disability Pride Month! Thank you all for taking the time to listen or at least check out the resources (scroll down for the databases) - if any sources are missing it’s because Youtube and podcast sites usually have a 5K letter limit. I’m using those letters explaining this - but if you need to find something, write down the key words I used and type them into ToxicDocs. By the way, NO, this is not sponsored by ToxicDocs as that’s not how research databases roll. I’m just a fan. I appreciate you all! Thank you again for listening.
