PANS & PANDAS Explained: Why Mental Health and Functional Medicine Both Matter

In this episode, we dive into PANS and PANDAS—what they are, how they show up, and why they’re so often misunderstood. We explore the different treatment approaches, from mental health support to functional and medical interventions, and why addressing both is essential for real healing. We also talk about the challenges families face when these conditions aren’t widely recognized in mainstream medicine. And we break down an important truth: just because there isn’t a single definitive test doesn’t mean PANS and PANDAS aren’t real or devastatingly impactful.Follow us on Instagram ⁠here⁠.Follow us on TikTok ⁠here⁠.Follow us on Youtube ⁠here⁠.
