173 - Diana Driscoll - Healing PoTS and Dysautonomia: From Patient to Pioneer


Listen Later

Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her remarkable journey from bedridden POTS patient to pioneering medical researcher developing treatments for autonomic dysfunction. Motivated by her own ten-year battle with post-viral dysautonomia and her children's similar struggles, she created patented solutions when conventional medicine offered no answers.

• POTS is not a disease but a presentation of symptoms related to inflammation affecting the cardiovascular system
• Dr. Driscoll's "Driscoll Theory" identifies high intracranial pressure as a common factor in POTS and dysautonomia
• Her research uncovered neurotransmitter deficiencies, particularly acetylcholine, leading to the development of Parasym Plus
• Inflammation creates oxidative damage, worsening symptoms and creating a vicious cycle that must be broken
• Many POTS patients show signs of blood vessel leakage and blood-brain barrier disruption
• Female patients often face additional challenges due to hormonal fluctuations increasing inflammatory responses
• Recovery requires consistency and understanding your personal inflammatory triggers
• Patients can maintain recovery by being proactive about their health and recognizing early warning signs
• Genetic factors influence inflammatory responses and understanding these can prevent relapse
