  • Summary

  • PodcastDX is an interview based weekly series. Guests share experience based medical insight for our global audience. We have found that many people are looking for a platform, a way to share their voice and the story that their health journey has created. Each one is unique since even with the same diagnosis, symptoms and the way each person will react to a diagnosis, is different. Sharing what they have experienced and overcome is a powerful way our guests can teach others with similar ailments. Many of our guests are engaging in self-advocacy while navigating a health condition, many are complex and without a road-map to guide them along their journey they have developed their own. Sharing stories may help others avoid delays in diagnosis or treatment or just give hope to others that are listening. Sharing is empowering and has a healing quality of its own. Our podcast provides tips, hints, and support for common healthcare conditions. Our guests and our listeners are just like you- navigating the complex medical world. We hope to ease some tension we all face when confronted with a new diagnosis. We encourage anyone wanting to share their story with our listeners to email us at info@PodcastDX.com ​

  • Bullying in Young Children

    Bullying in Young Children
    Jul 23 2024

    This week we are discussing bullying amongst young children.

    CDC defines bullying as any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youths, who are not siblings, that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance, and is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying may inflict harm or distress on the targeted youth including physical, psychological, social, or educational harm. Common types of bullying include:

    • Physical such as hitting, kicking, and tripping.

    • Verbal including name-calling and teasing.

    • Relational or social such as spreading rumors and leaving out of the group.

    • Damage to victim's property.

    Bullying can also occur through technology, which is called electronic bullying or cyberbullying. A young person can be a perpetrator, a victim, or both (also known as "bully/victim"). (credits: CDC)

    We would like to take a moment to thank the judges at The National Health Information Awards Organization for granting us the Bronze Medal for Media/Publishing for 2024!

  • Heavy Metal Poisoning

    Heavy Metal Poisoning
    Jul 16 2024
    Heavy metal poisoning (toxicity) is the result of exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic. Heavy metals bind to parts of your cells that prevent your organs from doing their job. Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning can be life threatening and they can cause irreversible damage. ​Heavy metal poisoning occurs when microscopic molecules of metals accumulate within your body after exposure. Heavy metals attach to your cells and prevent them from performing their functions, which causes symptoms that could be life threatening without treatment. ​ What metals cause heavy metal poisoning (toxicity)? Several metals can be toxic to your body. The most common toxic metals are: Lead. Contaminated water from lead pipes, batteries, paint, gasoline, construction materials. Mercury. Liquid in thermometers, lightbulbs, dental amalgam (“silver”) fillings, batteries, seafood, topical antiseptics. Arsenic. Topical creams, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, paints, enamels, glass, contaminated water, seafood, algae. Cadmium. Cigarette smoke, metal plating, batteries. Thallium. Rodenticides, pesticides, fireworks. ​ How does someone get heavy metal poisoning? You can get heavy metal poisoning by exposing yourself to heavy metals. Heavy metals form naturally within the Earth’s crust. We interact with small amounts of heavy metals every day, like when you check the temperature of your thermometer, which uses mercury. Heavy metal poisoning occurs when metals get into your body. This can happen if you’re exposed to a large amount of metal including: Eating a lot of food that contains metals (fish). Drinking water from older water supply systems. Working with metals on the job. Taking medications or supplements with high amounts of metallic elements. Handling metals or products made with a large amount of metal (like paint or pesticides) without using personal protective equipment. Most metals that cause poisoning are in a microscopic (molecular) form when they enter your body. They are so small, you won’t be able to see them. Heavy metals can enter your body by: Absorbing into your skin. Breathing in or inhaling tiny metal molecules. Eating or drinking (ingesting) the metal from food or water. ​ Who does heavy metal poisoning affect? Heavy metal poisoning can affect anyone who has exposure to heavy metals. This most often affects people who: Drink water from pipes made of older metals (lead). Work with metals. Take more than the prescribed dosage of medicine or supplements that contain metal. Live in an environment with high air or water pollution. Eat a lot of foods that contain metal. Consume a non-edible product made with metal (paint). Children are at a higher risk of heavy metal poisoning because their bodies are still developing and they are more sensitive to the harmful effects of heavy metals. ​ How common is heavy metal poisoning? The exact rate of occurrence is unknown, but in the United States, heavy metal poisoning is rare since it only affects people who have exposure to heavy metals. The number of people diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning decreased significantly over the last 20 years because of awareness and preventative measures to remove heavy metals from homes. ​ What does heavy metal poisoning do to my body? Exposure to heavy metals can be dangerous to your health. While we use and interact with metals every day, certain heavy metals are toxic because the molecules that make up the metal damage or negatively interact with the cells in your body that are essential to keep your organs functioning. Your body has small amounts of metals in it already, like iron, copper and zinc. These metals are important to keep your organs functioning. If you have too much metal accumulated within your body, it can damage your vital organs like your brain and liver. (credits: Cleveland Clinic)
