Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joy, a board-certified pediatrician specializing in integrative care for neurodiverse children. We delve into the topic of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance, exploring how an awareness of these conditions can profoundly impact lives. Dr. Joy shares her unique perspective on integrative medicine from both personal and professional experiences, emphasizing the importance of looking at the whole child. We also discuss practical steps for implementing lifestyle changes to manage symptoms, from diet adjustments to environmental modifications. Join us as we uncover simple yet life-changing strategies for better health. Dr. Joy Eberhardt De Master Dr. Joy is a board-certified pediatrician (FAAP) who has been dedicated to supporting children and families since 2009. After several years in primary care, she found her calling in integrative pediatrics, with a special focus on children with developmental and behavioral needs. Her approach is rooted in the whole child and led by the parent, always prioritizing collaboration and inclusivity. As both a neurodiverse individual and a parent of neurodiverse children, Dr. Joy brings a unique perspective and deep empathy to her work. She values innovative, inclusive practices that honor each family's journey. Fluent in Spanish and proudly bicultural, Dr. Joy was raised between the U.S. and Mexico. In 2021, she opened Orchid Pediatrics—a welcoming, inclusive practice built on the belief that healthcare should be accessible, empowering, and centered on true partnership with families. One of the quotes that guides her approach comes from Albert Camus: “Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me.” This philosophy reflects her commitment to walking alongside each family with compassion and respect.

Texas vs. Becerra/Kennedy: Understanding Policy Threats to Section 504 41:23

vor 10 weeks41:23

41:23

In this special episode of The Collaborative IEP Podcast, I’m diving into a big case you might’ve heard about—Texas vs. Becerra (now Kennedy)—and what it could mean for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 504, which has been around since 1973, is a law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination from organizations and businesses that receive federal funding. I have read the entire case, as well as all of the filings to date, and I’ll break it all down for you – the good, the bad, and the ugly! We’ll unpack the background of the case, which involves 17 states challenging a new addition to the definition of disability—specifically, the Biden administration’s move to include gender dysphoria under that umbrella. We’ll talk about the real threat- these states’ request to find Section 504 Unconstitutional. I’ll break down what the states are arguing specifically, what’s happening with the case now, and why all of this matters—especially for our schools and the disability community. I’ll also talk about the federal vs. state power struggle at the heart of the issue and the success of the grassroots advocacy that’s come out of it (we made them backtrack significantly!). Join me for a thoughtful conversation about how this case highlights the complicated intersections between disability rights, government regulations, and the policies that affect our everyday lives.
