18. Here's an Ally: Foundation to Fight H-ABC ft. Michele Levoir Sloan
Saison 1 · Épisode 18
mardi 30 juillet 2024 • Durée 20:02
This week's episode is with Michele Levoir Sloan, co-founder of the Foundation To Fight H-ABC. Michele and her husband started the foundation in 2015 after their daughter was diagnosed with H-ABC.

We then dive into current research focused on finding a cure for H-ABC and the ASO treatment in clinical trials. We later focus on the necessity of raising awareness for rare conditions, especially H-ABC, as there are only about 200 diagnosed cases, making this condition mainly unknown to the public. She then shares her goals for the future and an inspiring message to families affected by H-ABC.

dimanche 3 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:02:35

After completing his undergraduate degree at the Western University of London, Ontario, he pursued medical school at the John A. Burns School of Medicine in Hawaii.

Dr. Natekar addresses all of these questions and explains the science behind how numerous drugs and substances --caffeine, marijuana, alcohol, hallucinogens--lead to headache. We also discuss the difference between a headache and a migraine, and he clarifies common misconceptions about them both. We later talk about the importance of prioritizing health and sleep and how Dr. Natekar is able to do this in his busy life as a Neurologist. He also shares useful tips on how to put both your physical and mental health first! Get ready to learn all about headache!
As a disclaimer, we mention the names of various drugs and substances, and this episode is not meant to influence anyone's choices--it is simply to explain how different substances can affect headache.
