ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
What if the mysterious symptoms of POTS, long COVID, and even autism weren’t invisible at all, but deeply connected through the autonomic nervous system? In this episode, Autumn Carter sits down with Dr. Diana Driscoll, OD FAAO—optometrist, researcher, inventor, and founder of POTS Care and TJ Nutrition—to uncover how her personal battle with POTS led to five patents and groundbreaking insights into the vagus nerve, inflammation, and “invisible” illness.
Dr. Driscoll shares her powerful story of being disabled for over a decade, watching her children become ill, and ultimately refusing to accept the dismissive labels that traditional medicine offered. She explains the science behind autonomic dysfunction, how inflammation and oxidative stress alter brain chemistry, and why conditions like IBS, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome may actually be different expressions of the same underlying issues. Together, Autumn and Dr. Driscoll dive into practical steps for hope and recovery, from innovative supplements like ParaSym Plus and NAC Max to the importance of self-advocacy when doctors miss the full picture.
If you’ve ever struggled with a so-called “invisible illness” or cared for someone who has, this episode is filled with validation, compassion, and cutting-edge science that points toward real healing.
