  • Just ok…. Theresa talks too much

    A lot of great information, however,

    Would be even better if the host rambled less and allowed her guests to actually speak. There are now better medical SLP podcasts out there.

  • Your title is misleading!

    I haven’t listened to this podcast yet but I think that Maybe you should change the title because it could come off as homophobic just a disclaimer

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

409 – FEES in the CICU: What 58% of Cardiac Centers Are Doing Without Any Guidelines
Q: How did you become so passionate about this topic?
Karli explains it began with a deliberate graduate placement choice and networking with physicians to investigate feeding in medically complex pediatric patients, gradually recognizing gaps and advocating for herself to work in the CHD CICU, which led to focused research and practice improvements.
405 – A New Tool for the Hardest Patients: Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation After Stroke | Phagenesis
Q: Who would be a good candidate for PES and where does it fit in the care pathway?
Candidates are patients with severe post-stroke dysphagia, especially where sensory deficit and risk of airway compromise are present; however, labeling differs by US vs EU/UK. PES is typically used early in the recovery window as an adjunct to standard care and not a replacement for other therapies.
405 – A New Tool for the Hardest Patients: Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation After Stroke | Phagenesis
Q: What exactly is PES and how is it different from traditional electrical stimulation therapies?
PES is a low-frequency, internal pharyngeal stimulation that engages sensory pathways to promote motor output and neuroplastic changes, rather than attempting to contract muscles with higher-frequency NMES. It uses targeted sensory input to prime the brain's swallowing networks.
401 – Stop Overcomplicating It: The Research Proving Cough Suppression Therapy Is Simpler Than You Think
Q: Can you talk about some of the different delivery models you've explored for cough suppression therapy (e.g., telehealth, group therapy, digital tools)?
Delivery models include telehealth for remote sessions, group behavioral therapy showing higher patient-reported outcomes, and digital therapeutics like online-based modules and cough-monitoring apps that support asynchronous training and monitoring.
401 – Stop Overcomplicating It: The Research Proving Cough Suppression Therapy Is Simpler Than You Think
Q: My understanding is that the majority of your research, your work is all focused on cough. How do you arrive at this?
Her career started in language and voice, then pivoted toward cough through experiences in laryngeal research and interdisciplinary collaboration, leading to a focus on cough mechanisms, interoception, and clinical translation.
