About this listen

Learn about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and more by joining us each week for a new episode. If you are living with POTS, MCAS or other chronic illnesses, you are not alone! Our goal is to raise awareness, nurture community, and empower patients with information and practical skills for living better with this chronic invisible illness. Each month, we feature episodes with top POTS physicians as well as POTS patients. Because many POTS patients are eventually diagnosed with MCAS, the first Tuesday of every month we feature a new series called Mast Cell Matters, in which top MCAS practitioners share their experiences in better treating patients. You can learn more by listening to our groundbreaking POTScast anywhere, anytime.

  • Todd Maderis, ND on novel treatments - Mast Cell Matters with Dr. Tania Dempsey
    Jul 7 2025

    Dr. Todd Maderis is a naturopathic physician in Marin, CA, who began his career in environmental medicine and now specializes in helping complex patients by searching for the root causes of their illness. He and Dr. Dempsey discuss their hypotheses about how and why some patients can get so sick, their favorite newer tests and treatments -- including genetic testing, SOT, phosphatidylcholine -- and how excess fibrin production may contribute to excessive blood coagulation and biofilms that help infections hide from treatment. And much more! Drs. Maderis and Dempsey cover a wide range of topics and compare notes on their approaches to helping the most complex patients.
