Welcome to the Swallow Your Pride Podcast. I'm your host, Teresa Richard. I'm a board certified specialist

in swallowing and swallowing disorders. And I know firsthand how much confusing and conflicting

information there is out there about how we assess and treat swallowing disorders.

This podcast is all about bringing everyone together, getting on the same page, being open to

new ideas, and using evidence-based treatment strategies for our patients with dysphagia.

So let's get into it.

So happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there
