Episode # 24 - PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY WITH DR. ROSS SAYADI is now live!!!
Plastic and reconstructive surgery involves so much more than a little nip here and a little tuck there. In this episode, Dr. Ross Sayadi, a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Resident Physician at the University of California Irvine, tells his story of how he got into medical school, the research projects he has been involved in, and the various medical tools and inventions he has developed in the lab and at home that are now being used in practice with patients. We discuss the different kinds of plastic surgery, his research on micro/nanobubbles for tissue oxygenation and wound treatment, the iPhone app he created called OR Stencil, and so much more.
You can connect with Dr. Sayadi on Instagram
Thank you Dr. Sayadi for nerding out with me!
I had the pleasure of recording an episode with Dr. Ross Sayadi today! We talked about his research in plastic surgery and his journey through medical school! I cannot wait to share this episode with you all! Tune in on Monday to hear the full episode!
Happy World Anatomy Day!!! 🫀🧠🫁👁💀 It’s almost better than Christmas!! Almost.
How cool is this notebook?! I’m in love! And these perfumes smell heavenly! Many many thanks to my sweet friend for sharing her new project with me!
We are four days into this deployment, and all I have to report is that this is really, really hard. My husband will be gone for six months. It’s hard to wrap my head around that amount of time when the last four days have felt like years. It isn’t missing him or having to get used to a whole new routine that’s hard. What’s actually the hardest is being unable to explain to my two year old that Dada isn’t here every time he cries out for him. I know it’s a good thing that he won’t even remember this deployment, and that he gets to see him on FaceTime, and he has a little picture frame of the two of them. But it’s still hard. And it breaks my mama heart that I can’t just make it go away.
This humongous life change is why this podcast has to slow down. I’m bummed that it I don’t get to work on it as much as I was previously able to, but I’m happy to keep it going. I’m currently working on three episodes and I can’t wait to get them recorded, edited and out to your lovely ears. You can expect the next episode to come out in the next couple of weeks.
Many thanks to all my listeners and supporters. Y’all are really wonderful and I am so happy you are here to share this fun project with.
Cheers!
Fun Fact Friday!! ⭐️ Well, it’s not a very fun topic, but it is interesting.
Seizure disorders and epilepsy are frequently reported medical comorbidities in individuals with autism. While a correlation between the two exists, how they influence each other has yet to be determined. Researchers are still exploring whether autism leads to seizures, seizures contribute to autism, or the two conditions coexist.
Epilepsy and autism may share similar genetic risk factors. Researchers have identified certain gene mutations that occur in both autism and epilepsy. Studies have found that siblings of children with autism are more likely to have epilepsy.
You can learn more about ASD in the latest episode! Tune in wherever you pod!

I can’t wait for this children’s book to come out. My guest from episode 23, Deniece Campos Landry and Dr. Joseph Talbet of are in the final stages of editing and releasing Puzzle Pieces, a children’s book about autism spectrum disorder.
Books like this are important, as it helps family members and friends learn more about ASD. The more we know, the more compassionate we can be towards each other.
I’m super excited to read this book! Have you read it? If so, what did you think?
Episode 23 - A DISCUSSION ON AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER WITH DENICE CAMPOS LANDRY is now live!!!
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that involves persistent challenges in social interaction, speech and nonverbal communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. The effects of ASD and the severity of symptoms are different in each person.
In this episode, I chat with Deniece Campos Landry about what ASD is and how she and her family have found ways around the challenges that come with ASD. Deniece is a mother of an individual with ASD and the founder of Global Panda, a job search portal database for Disabled college graduates that are entering the workforce. She has been working with people with ASD for over a decade and is active in her community in helping people learn more about autism.

Perfectly clear image of myelin around an axon by
Myelin is made by two different types of support cells. In the central nervous system (CNS) — the brain and spinal cord — cells called oligodendrocytes wrap their branch-like extensions around axons to create a myelin sheath. In the nerves outside of the spinal cord, Schwann cells produce myelin. Regardless of where it is in the nervous system, all myelin performs the same function, enabling efficient transmission of electrical signals.
Tune in to the latest episode to learn more!!
Episode 22 - THE MIGHTY MYELIN SHEATH is now live!!
The myelin sheath is the protective, fatty coating surrounding your nerve fibers along the axon, similar to the protective covering around electrical wires. It allows electrical impulses between nerve cells to travel back and forth very, very quickly. Tune in to learn more about how the myelin sheath works, and what happens to our body when it doesn't work.
Fun Fact Friday!!! Our wrinkle line run transversely to the contraction direction of our muscles of facial expression.
I love this image by Dr. Frank Netter. It very clearly shows why our wrinkle lines align up the way they do.
I love all of the cool things this amazing anatomy community shares with me. One of the things I’m nerding out about right now are these cool images from a first edition Sobatta atlas from 1906. 🤩🤩 I used to love collecting old books when I was a kid, so it was a delight when shared these with me.
It’s amazing how much we know about sleep, but even more intriguing how much we don’t know.
Here are some of my favorite fun facts about sleep I found during my research for the latest episode. I’d love for you to share some of your favorite facts about sleep and dreams with me.

Episode # 21 - THE SLEEP CYCLE, SOMNILOQUY, AND DREAMS is now live!!!
In this episode, my guest Olivia Rains and I nerd out about the amazing things that happen when we sleep. The first thing we explain is the sleep cycle. I dive into the details of what happens at each of the four stages of the brain's sleep cycle. We chat about somniloquy, aka sleep talking. Then we finally nerd out about dreams and even share some of our own wild and crazy dreams.
Tune in wherever you pod!

It’s time for Fun Fact Friday! Let’s nerd out about the rotator cuff, shall we?
Your rotator cuff is made up of muscles and tendons that keep the ball of your upper-arm bone (humerus) in your shoulder socket.
Muscle anatomy of the rotator cuff - best remembered by the acronym SITS
🧩 Supraspinatus - holds your humerus in place and keeps your upper arm stable. And helps lift your arm.
🧩 Infraspinatus - the main muscle that lets you rotate and extend your shoulder.
🧩 Teres Minor - the smallest rotator cuff muscle. Its main job is to assist with rotation of the arm away from the body.
🧩 Subscapularis - holds your upper arm bone to your shoulder blade and helps you rotate your arm, hold it straight out and lower it.
One of the most common shoulder injuries is a rotator cuff tear. A rotator cuff tear is often the result of wear and tear from daily use. Most tears are partial. You’re more likely to have this if you have a job where you need to move your arm a certain way over and over, like a painter or a carpenter, or you play sports like tennis or baseball. It also can happen if you fall on your arm or try to lift something heavy. It’s usually treated with physical therapy and medication, or you may need surgery.
Rotator cuff tears are the most common injuries in baseball, often seen in pitchers. Tears and ruptures can be prevented by practicing preventative exercises, taking pitchers out of the game after so many pitches, and body work post game to maintain structural integrity.
