In this powerful episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her extraordinary journey from sudden disability to becoming one of the leading patient-researchers on POTS and invisible illnesses. After contracting a virus on a mission trip, her life changed overnight—hallucinations, heart rate issues, digestive shutdown, insomnia, tremors, and countless symptoms that left her bedridden. With little help from the medical system and even being told POTS patients are “perfectly healthy,” she decided to search for answers herself. What followed was a decade-long research journey—leading to new genetic insights, biomarkers, and five medical patents. Dr. Driscoll explains why many “invisible illnesses” aren’t invisible at all—we’re simply not measuring the right things. She helps patients uncover the real causes behind autonomic nervous system dysfunction and chronic inflammation, often leading to full recovery. This conversation offers science, hope, and empowerment—not just for those with POTS or chronic illness but for anyone wanting to live a healthier, more purposeful, and more resilient life. 🔑 Key Topics We Discuss: The virus that triggered Dr. Driscoll’s sudden disability What POTS really is—and why it’s so misunderstood Why inflammation and oxidative stress are at the root of many “invisible” illnesses The groundbreaking eye research that helped identify POTS clues Using genetics and biomarkers to find REAL answers How she developed patented supplements to support autonomic nervous system function Steps anyone can take to stay healthier as they age Why purpose—not pleasure—is the real foundation of happiness How hope and humor protect the mind during hard seasons What to do when people tell you “you can’t” The signs you're actually onto something big when naysayers appear 💡 Key Takeaways: Invisible illnesses are often measurable — we just need the right tests. Chronic inflammation plays a huge role in POTS and many other conditions. Health foundations like movement, nutrition, nervous system support, and reducing oxidative stress matter for everyone. Hope is not optional — it’s chemistry. Purpose is the cornerstone of long-term happiness. You are capable of more than people think — and more than you think. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Diana Driscoll POTSCare: https://potstcare.com Vagus Nerve Support & Supplements: https://vagusnervesupport.com Books, research, and more available on her sites. 🔗 Connect with Peggy Meyer Website: https://positivesolutions4life.com

In today’s episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy breaks down Matthew Kelly’s powerful book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy — a message that cuts through our cultural obsession with “hustle,” overcommitment, productivity pressure, and the myth of time management. This episode challenges the belief that more efficiency or better scheduling is the key to a fulfilled life. Instead, Kelly offers a transformational truth: Joy comes from slowing down.Not from doing less — but from living more. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔️ Why the “jar of life” metaphor is flawed — and how it tricks us into believing we can fit in everything✔️ The hidden cost of hurry: your joy, your health, your relationships, your soul✔️ What “the speed of joy” really means — and why it isn’t slow or lazy✔️ How Jesus modeled a life of presence, margin, and holy interruptions✔️ Why we need margin — and the consequences of living at our breaking point✔️ The one powerful practice that can transform your entire week: taking back your Sundays✔️ The difference between wanting more… and wanting the right things✔️ How gratitude creates contentment and restores spiritual balance✔️ Practical steps for living your life at the speed God designed Key Takeaways Busy is not a badge of honor — it’s a thief of joy. Joy has a speed — and it’s human, not hurried. Sabbath is a rhythm of rest that realigns your life with God and your soul. Margin = breathing room = the space where love, wisdom, and clarity grow. Contentment is enough + gratitude. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to flourish.

Today we’re talking about one of the biggest struggles we all share: time. Not how to manage it better… but how to think differently about it so we can live in alignment, connection, and peace. We’ve been sold the idea that time management will save us—color-coded planners, productivity hacks, and the urgent/important matrix. But those don’t fix the real problem. The frantic pace, the constant rush, the feeling of being behind… those come from our relationship with time, not the clock. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ What really keeps us overscheduled and overwhelmed Why “I don’t have enough time” isn’t a fact—it’s a thought that reveals your priorities. ✨ God’s design for balance and harmony How seasons shift, and why balance doesn’t mean doing everything equally—it means aligning what matters most. ✨ The hidden time-wasters we don’t admit From procrastination to comparing ourselves to others, these habits steal more time than our to-do lists. ✨ Why your plate is full—and who filled it The Thanksgiving plate analogy that changes everything about how you schedule your life. ✨ The shocking stats about our digital habits Why the average American’s screen time proves the issue isn’t time…it’s intention. ✨ How to reclaim moments that matter Practical steps to create connection, joy, gratitude, and presence. ✨ A powerful journal exercise A simple two-column reflection that reveals what you really want more time for—and what’s currently blocking it. This episode will help you shift from chasing more minutes to creating a life that feels meaningful, memorable, and aligned.
