This episode of the My POTS Podcast challenges the conventional approach to POTS treatment and shows why muscle function holds the key to autonomic nervous system recovery. Fall sports season brings excitement for young athletes, but Dr. Joseph Schneider reveals why so many students with POTS and dysautonomia struggle with exercise intolerance that keeps them sidelined. Your muscle isn't just tissue that moves your body -it's actually one of your most important organs, and when it stops functioning properly, your entire autonomic nervous system crashes with it. Students with POTS experience a dangerous paradox where their heart rate spikes but blood pressure drops during activity, creating exercise intolerance that traditional medicine can't fix. Dr. Schneider explains why hyperbaric oxygen therapy isn't the answer and reveals how exercising with oxygen can actually retrain your cardiovascular system to respond normally again. Many patients arrive at his clinic unable to get out of bed due to chronic fatigue, but through targeted muscle rehabilitation, they're returning to work, school, and the activities that make life meaningful.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
