Schauer Thoughts

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts! This week we’re discussing the 2026 US Midterm elections - from historic firsts to global reactions, we’re going over all of it. I do apologize for this episode being on the shorter side, what can I say, I am gobsmacked. The shock truly is setting in. 

I would like to say a massive thank you to every blue and left leaning organizer in red states - you all fought so hard and you’ve made me incredibly proud. I have no doubt in my mind that change is coming for y’all soon and I refuse to let anyone trounce upon your hard work. You all are absolutely incredible.

One thing I did not mention in this episode (since it was filmed the day after the election) - Hakeem Jeffries CANNOT be the Speaker of the House. Please sign this petition to prevent that from happening. Thank you.

Next week we’ll get back to science and the like, I hope you all have a nice, relaxing weekend. I can’t wait to start working and sharing more information but for now, we rest.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week will be a quick regrouping from last week’s topic - due to new information on the skin’s own “HPA axis” I do have to pause on my autism-schizophrenia-epilepsy theory to properly segment information, inputs, outputs, etc. I will absolutely be returning to this theory in the future.

While we wait for that update, please enjoy the episode! I will be discussing the new emerging field(s) of psychodermatology and neurodermatology and why the intersection of psychiatry, psychology, dermatology, and neuroscience are incredibly helpful for anyone with skin and/or psychological disorders, diseases, and conditions OR both. Ohhh.

Nuance for the crowd:

I am absolutely not advising that you stop taking any medication that your physician has prescribed.

I am strongly advising that before you act on anything I’ve said here, you take the information to your licensed physician and speak through all of it, getting their input and expertise, before moving forward with anything - if you so choose.

I am well aware that just because conditions overlap does not mean they are the same. 

I am not promising the “cure” for anything - I am offering more resources and experts to check out if you feel like you need more information on things brain, skin, and psychology related. 

It is very unlikely that a board-certified dermatologist can help you directly with psychological issues. They are incredibly knowledgeable and more than qualified to discuss skin, however “psychodermatology” and “neurodermatology” require dual-board certifications. If you want to find someone who is a licensed psychodermatologist (in the US) I recommend checking out this directory.

Thank you for listening and thank you to the professionals who help me with pronunciation, I greatly appreciate it. 

Books:

NUANCE FOR BOOKS: While I do trust Dr. Perricone’s expertise and recommend The Beauty Molecule, he does own a major brand and is trying to sell things throughout the book so I would strongly recommend reading Clean by James Hamblin first as he extensively discusses FDA regulations, what has been proven for treatments, and what has not. He will help inform your dermatological mindset and I do believe his alignments will help significantly when going through The Beauty Molecule.

Advice for Researching Nutrition Independently:

I strongly encourage speaking to a healthcare professional and researching vitamins and supplements extensively before acting on any discussion points mentioned in this podcast episode, some great nutrition publications are:

The Journal of Nutrition

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN)

Advances in Nutrition (AN)

Current Developments in Nutrition (CDN)

Links and details on each of those publications can be found here:

https://nutrition.org/publications/ 

If there are any links I did not include, please feel free to reach out on IG (as that’s where I’m most responsive). Have a good one!

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: 

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.

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!

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! Thank you all for accepting that I am a human being on SSRIs in a heat wave so tears (light Schauers) are normal. I appreciate you all and can’t wait for you to listen to this week’s episode.

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.

Hello guys! This episode of Schauer Thoughts truly is just a mental free for all, we will be discussing predominantly ME/CFS and registering to vote for the Midterm elections though. I do apologize for not getting to Boomers committing mass tax fraud and identity theft - that will be covered in a later episode. Hopefully there was some semblance of coherence here and I would like everyone to know with chronic conditions and chronic pain conditions that I will continue to raise awareness and just care in general because it is unacceptable that you all have been forced to go this alone. We all can do better.

Thank you all so much for listening!

Welcome back to the weekly Schauer, I hope you’re ready to get angry because we are talking about the sheer amount of health-related dangers that the US government and corporations are putting us all at risk of! I do apologize for the late upload, this week has been hectic but we’re here now. 

Please know that it is never too late to help the environment and reduce/reverse climate change. This episode may seem daunting, but rest assured there are a lot of people working on this and fighting for this, however they do need our help. We are all stronger and more capable together, thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode and thank you to everyone fighting climate injustice. 

Nuance:

Apologies for not talking about the conversion process of ethylene and ethylene oxide, I have a strong sense that if I did Youtube would take this video down. Please feel free to research for yourself if you’d like to know more.

Also, a full dedicated podcast episode on prison “labor” and Superfund sites is coming up, I am absolutely not done talking about that.

I’m really hoping that Dolly enjoys the triple D’s in the title, she was and will forever be an icon musically, philanthropically, and surgically.
