  • Best Behavioral Health Podcast

    Lisa was my daughter’s first therapist as a child over 15 years ago. She’s grown now and we still talk about the impact she’s had on my daughter’s mental health and my career as a social worker. Her podcast has been a saving grace as we’ve navigated incorporating are spiritual and holistic knowledge into our practices. I’m glad I found her podcast

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Protecting the Frontal Lobe: How Science & Everyday Habits Shield Our Kids with Dr. Crystal Collier – Episode 474
Q: What are the high-risk behaviors you cover, and how do they affect the brain?
The program covers a wide range of behaviors including alcohol, illicit drugs, nicotine, suicide, self-injury, dating and bullying, technology overuse, and mental health concerns, all of which can impair frontal lobe development and executive functioning, with emphasis on prevention through education about brain development and healthy coping strategies.
Protecting the Frontal Lobe: How Science & Everyday Habits Shield Our Kids with Dr. Crystal Collier – Episode 474
Q: Is there a magic or a specific age where we should start education about high-risk behaviors?
Yes, the best time to start is as young as possible, with kindergarten as a practical starting point for teaching basics, followed by age-appropriate conversations and scripted guidance that build a foundation for later risk-awareness.
Beyond Behavior: Science-Backed Strategies for Autism with Dr. Theresa Lyons – Episode 470
Q: How should families approach cutting-edge tests, like maternal immune activation studies, that may explain some cases but not all?
Recognize that autism is multifactorial; no single test explains everything. New tests can provide some insight into a subset of cases, but families should consult knowledgeable clinicians and maintain healthy skepticism about overgeneralizing findings. Use tests as part of a broader, evidence-based plan rather than as definitive answers.
Beyond Behavior: Science-Backed Strategies for Autism with Dr. Theresa Lyons – Episode 470
Q: What is your stance on ABA therapy in light of the controversy around its intensity and outcomes?
ABA can be effective for some skills and some children, but it often relies on extrinsic motivation and can be too intense. The best approach is to consider intrinsic motivation and motor planning issues, using ABA selectively and for limited durations when appropriate, while prioritizing health and functional, everyday life skills.
Beyond Behavior: Science-Backed Strategies for Autism with Dr. Theresa Lyons – Episode 470
Q: As a Yale-trained scientist, what frameworks do you teach families to choose therapies that work for their child?
Start with the child's health—sleep, gut health, and immune status—and let data drive decisions. Use functional medicine tests to identify root causes and prioritize interventions that address those, rather than applying one-size-fits-all therapies. The key is to align therapy choices with the child's top three symptom priorities and to reassess as those priorities change.
