Your voice matters!

Pull up a seat "at the table". 

This show is so much more than a "podcast", which is why we call it a Talk Show.  We have one main show that airs (audio & video) the 1st of each month, then we spin the conversation out to "360its", various communication methods - indefinitely - to expand learning & resource building.

The mission of our organization is to lead efforts in Education (Awareness), Advocacy (Public Policy), and Research through peer-led guidance, collaboration, and resources driven by patient-identified issues and patient-infused solutions. For this show, we enlist the help of Patient Co-Hosts and Guests from around the world to elevate the education, improve the resources created, and help expand the conversation by inviting more people worldwide to continue the conversation.

The 6-Step Problem Solving Process and How the Show is Incorporated Into It

An infographic showing six steps in red squares with white icons: Step One - Listen to patient-identified issues (ear icon), Step Two - Put issue on the table - invite other patient voices to weigh in (connected circle of people icon), Step Three - Expand discussions - patients & other stakeholders (star burst of arrows icon), Step Four - Analyze data (gears icon), Step Five - Revisit the table & introduce patient infused solutions (head with puzzle piece icon), Step Six - Create unique patient-inspired resources, guidance, tools (lightbulb icon). Note at bottom states 'Steps Three through Six may repeat several times'
  • On the 1st Sunday of each month, we air a traditional version of a podcast (audio) and video (new in 2023). In these episodes we either put a new patient-reported issue (topic) ‘on the table’ for the first time (Step 2 in the process) OR we put the topic ‘back on the table’ when we are getting closer to a solution (Step 5 in the process) But the conversation doesn’t end there. 
  • Next, we 360it!  Not everyone ‘does podcasts’...but we need as many voices at the table so we can create solutions that address the many perspectives and needs of a diverse community. We do this with 360its - an unlimited number of spin off segments that can be in any format (video, social media posts, TikTok, Twitter Chats, email blasts, in person events, etc.) 360its are done after Step 2 and Step 5 monthly Sunday episodes.

  • Episodio 116: El camino a la remisión

    La remisión ya no es una idea abstracta para las personas que viven con enfermedades autoinmunes de la artritis. Gracias a un diagnóstico más temprano, mejores opciones de tratamiento y una mayor concienciación mundial, cada vez más pacientes alcanzan la remisión y la mantienen. En este episodio de AiArthritis Voices 360, la directora de educación sanitaria, Leila PL Valete, conversa con Neil Betteridge de la Coalición Global para la Remisión para explorar qué significa realmente la remisión y por qué se está convirtiendo en un objetivo realista para muchos. Juntos, analizan en qué se diferencia la remisión del control básico de la enfermedad y por qué esta distinción es tan importante para la vida diaria. También abordan el impacto emocional y práctico de alcanzar la remisión, el papel de la intervención temprana y las barreras que aún impiden que muchos pacientes accedan a la atención oportuna. La conversación destaca cómo se ve la remisión sostenible en la práctica y cómo una mejor educación, apoyo y atención política pueden ayudar a más personas a lograrla. Tanto si acaba de recibir un diagnóstico como si lleva años viviendo con la enfermedad, este episodio ofrece una perspectiva realista y esperanzadora sobre el camino hacia la remisión y los pasos que pueden cambiar su vida.

  • El cannabis ha avanzado mucho desde la última vez que lo abordamos en 2020. Con un número creciente de pacientes que utilizan CBD y cannabis medicinal para controlar el dolor crónico, la inflamación, la ansiedad y los problemas de sueño, es momento de una actualización importante. En este episodio, Leila PL Valete, Directora de Educación para la Salud de AiArthritis, conversa con las coanfitrionas y defensoras de los pacientes, Eileen Davidson y Bridget Seritt, sobre los cambios, lo que aún debemos aprender y lo que los pacientes deben saber antes de probar el cannabis para la artritis autoinmune y autoinflamatoria. Las anfitrionas exploran cómo han evolucionado la investigación, las actitudes y los debates médicos en torno al cannabis. Comparten sus propias experiencias con el CBD y el cannabis, analizan los nuevos hallazgos de la investigación en reumatología y destacan la necesidad constante de un mejor acceso, educación sobre seguridad y mayor concientización por parte de los profesionales de la salud. La conversación también aborda cómo está cambiando el estigma a medida que más pacientes y médicos consideran el cannabis como una parte legítima del manejo de los síntomas, en lugar de un último recurso. Tanto si eres nuevo en el tema como si ya utilizas el cannabis como parte de tu tratamiento, este episodio ofrece una guía clara, una perspectiva personal y una reflexión profunda sobre su papel en la atención al paciente.
