   Beyond Medication Stacking: A Psychiatrist’s Look at Autism Care

   Psychiatry does not have to stop at labels and medication stacking. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring about autism, ADHD, psychiatric drug side effects, informed consent, safe deprescribing, and why root-cause care matters. We explore how inflammation, toxins, gut health, nutrition, and whole-body medicine can change the way clinicians support complex children and families. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist, former FDA Medical Officer, and founder of TaperClinic, a practice dedicated to helping patients safely manage psychiatric drug withdrawal and highly personalized medication tapers. Drawing from his background in regulatory science, pharmaceutical drug safety, and clinical psychiatry, Dr. Josef educates clinicians and the public on drug side effects, informed consent, safe deprescribing practices, and the need for more individualized psychiatric care. - - - - - Social Handles: Website: https://taperclinic.com (https://taperclinic.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjosefwittdoerring (https://www.instagram.com/drjosefwittdoerring) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josef-witt-doerring-667b83a0 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/josef-witt-doerring-667b83a0) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjosefwittdoerring (https://www.facebook.com/drjosefwittdoerring) Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@taperclinic (https://www.youtube.com/@taperclinic) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GyJMiBXrkyDckuTlhTLXV (https://open.spotify.com/show/2GyJMiBXrkyDckuTlhTLXV) Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-effects-with-dr-josef/id1701477615 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-effects-with-dr-josef/id1701477615) - - - - - Medical Academy of Pediatrics & Special Needs (MAPS) Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.medmaps.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.medmaps.org/) Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MAPSNFP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.facebook.com/MAPSNFP) Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/medmapsofficial/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/medmapsofficial/) LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/maps-medical⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maps-medical) TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@medmaps.org⁠ (https://www.tiktok.com/@medmaps.org) - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

   Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Autism

   In this episode of Healing Tomorrow’s Future, MAPS Executive Director Honey Rinicella speaks with Dr. Jodie Dashore, PhD, OTD, about chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and its potential role in children with autism—particularly those who have not responded to conventional interventions. Drawing on both her professional expertise and her deeply personal experience as the mother of a son who experienced regression, PANS/PANDAS, Lyme disease, mold exposure and severe physical complications, Dr. Dashore explains how that journey shaped her work. She also discusses findings from a retrospective study of 1,722 children with treatment-resistant autism and CIRS, highlighting the overlap among environmental exposures, neuroimmune inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, mast cell activation and symptoms often attributed solely to autism. The conversation explores why clinicians should look beyond a child’s diagnosis to investigate multisystem symptoms and possible exposure to water-damaged environments—including homes, schools, therapy centers and other frequently visited buildings. Dr. Dashore outlines an individualized, carefully sequenced approach that begins with laboratory assessment, nutritional and gastrointestinal support, and binders before addressing inflammation and underlying infections. Her central message is that identifying and reducing a child’s inflammatory burden may provide the physiological foundation needed for more meaningful and sustained progress—making CIRS an important consideration when autism-related symptoms are accompanied by unexplained physical complaints, developmental regression or resistance to treatment. This conversation is the first in a planned four-part podcast series with Dr. Dashore, based on her recently published four-part research series. This opening episode focuses on CIRS and its neuroimmune pathology in pediatric autism. Future episodes are planned to explore Lyme disease and autism; an entirely herbal approach to treatment; and the connections among autism, PANS and PANDAS.

   How Red and Near-Infrared Light Support Healing and Recovery

   Light can be more than illumination. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Zayd Ratansi about photobiomodulation, red and near-infrared light, mitochondria, cytochrome C oxidase, cellular energy, inflammation, blood flow, brain support, and tissue repair. We explore how targeted light therapy may help complex kids and parents support recovery, resilience, and whole-body healing. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Zayd Ratansi, known as Dr. Z, is a licensed naturopathic physician and global authority in hyperbaric, bio-oxidative, and environmental medicine. With decades of experience in cellular health, neurological recovery, and performance optimization, Dr. Z has developed hyperbaric training programs and consulted with elite athletes, MLB teams, and notable public figures.
