P5 Protocols - Dr. Nancy O'Hara - Episode 5

"From ADHD to autism, a guided tour on setting up a framework for treating children with neurological setbacks." Welcome to the next episode of P5 Protocols with Dr. Nancy O’Hara, who fortunately is based in Wilton, Connecticut, right near my home. She is a traditionally trained pediatric doctor who is also the child of two doctors; but her approach is anything but traditional. She started her career as a teacher before attending The University of Pennsylvania Medical School. Of note, she currently is treating two of my sons who have chronic Lyme. As I recently started in the last few transcripts, I bold and italicize background information and I bold and underline treatment related information. Dr. O’Hara was so clear thinking and methodical that most of the transcript is marked up. In other words, for those who are listening, this is a very dense interview. The focus is on pediatric neurological disorders from ADHD to Lyme Disease symptoms to Autism. I do not think you will find a more scientifically, evidence-based doctor in the world. And, as those who are listening to this and past podcasts will notice a common theme as Dr. O’Hara pivoted from the pure traditional medical world to looking for every edge she could get to help her patients. Her mentors are some of the best medical doctors and researchers in the world, but she has long reached an age and stage where she is materially contributing and perhaps teaching her mentors a few things. Ever curious, I think you will enjoy listening to Dr. O’Hara lay out an approach and framework for treating children with various neurological disorders. Remember that at the end of this transcript are links to resources. It is long… So let’s get started
