This is Dr. Maggie Yu's story:

Dr. Maggie Yu's remarkable journey into the world of functional medicine and autoimmune disorders began with her own health challenges. Struggling with diabetes, fibromyalgia, and early menopause, she embarked on a quest for answers, delving into alternative and holistic medicine. Her determination led her to uncover undiagnosed autoimmune diseases, igniting a passion for understanding the intricate connections between hormones, autoimmunity, and food sensitivities. As she successfully reversed her own autoimmune issues through functional medicine, Dr. Yu's focus shifted to helping others. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her impactful work, culminating in the establishment of a functional medicine clinic in Oregon. The high prevalence of autism spectrum and neurodivergency among her patients prompted her to explore the intersection of autoimmune diseases, genetics, and individuals on the spectrum. Dr. Yu's personal journey, coupled with her expertise in transforming health through functional medicine, has positioned her as a beacon of hope for families navigating complex autoimmune issues and food sensitivities. Her unique insights and unwavering commitment to empowering individuals and families make her a trusted ally in the realm of health and wellness.

About The Neurodivergent Connection / The Curious Storyteller

Reid Miles Podcasts

Two shows. One curiosity-driven mission: telling human stories that matter.

Hosted by Reid Miles, this podcast feed is home to two distinct but connected conversations.

The Neurodivergent Connection centers neurodivergent voices lived experience, late diagnosis, advocacy, creativity, and the realities of navigating a world not built for autistic minds. These episodes focus on understanding, accessibility, and belonging, grounded in honesty and real conversation rather than clinical distance.

The Curious Storyteller began as a celebration of remarkable people and the stories that shaped them. It has since evolved into deeper, reflective conversations about identity, resilience, reinvention, and the quiet moments that change us. Guests include creators, athletes, leaders, and thinkers not to be interviewed, but to be heard.

Both shows share the same foundation: unscripted conversations, emotional intelligence, and curiosity over performance. This isn’t about polished success stories or neat conclusions — it’s about connection, reflection, and telling the truth while the story is still being written.
