Episode 133: Demystifying PANS/PANDAS with Dr. Nancy O’Hara, MD

This week I am so thrilled to learn more about PANDAS/PANS and welcome Dr. Nancy O’Hara. She is a Board-certified Pediatrician in the United States that has dedicated her career to caring for children with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric issues. She also recently released a book, Demystifying PANS/PANDAS: A Functional Medicine Desktop Reference on Basal Ganglia Encephalitis, which is a valuable resource that we will talk about today.  As always, this podcast is based on experiences and should not be construed as medical or professional advice. Please speak with your own medical professional.
