Mom & Doc Talk: Healing PANS/PANDAS

Today, we are talking about sensory issues and are joined by guest host Brittany Sumner. Sensory issues are when everyday sights, sounds, textures, tastes, smells, movement, or body sensations feel too intense, too weak, or confusing. It can be part of the PANS/PANDAS symptom picture, and homeopathy can help!

Today, we are talking about allergies and food sensitivities. Allergies and food sensitivities are signs that the immune system is reacting in a heightened or inappropriate way to certain substances. Instead of tolerating a food or environmental trigger, the body responds with symptoms. The good news: homeopathy can help!

Today, we are joined by Chrissie Bozeman to discuss the symptom of anxiety. Children with PANS/PANDAS often experience this symptom, which is described as a state of heightened fear, worry, or unease that feels bigger than the situation at hand. Anxiety can manifest emotionally, physically, mentally, or behaviorally.

This week, we are joined by PANS/PANDAS Mom Chrissie Bozeman to talk about tics. Tics are sudden, involuntary movements or sounds. Motor tics affect the body, like blinking or shrugging, while vocal tics include sounds like throat clearing or repeating words. This symptom is common in PANS/PANDAS but can heal with homeopathy.

In this episode of Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr and Jody are joined by guest host Chrissie Bozeman to discuss the symptom of OCD. OCD as a symptom involves unwanted, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) to ease anxiety. In children with PANS/PANDAS, these symptoms can appear suddenly, be intense, and disrupt daily life, but CAN heal with homeopathy.

In this episode of Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr and Jody are joined by an amazing PANS/PANDAS Mom, Julie Rhoads, who has come to chat with you all about her son’s healing journey. From onset, symptoms, and flares – to THRIVING, she shares it all. Thank you, Julie!

Andrew Botsford—an amazing PANS Dad and a steady light in our community—joins us for a deeply moving conversation. He walks us through their family’s journey from onset and symptoms to the many treatments they tried in hopes of helping their daughter heal. Their road ultimately led to homeopathy, and life has looked beautifully different since beginning this healing journey.

In this episode, Dr. Bahr and Jody dive into a question they hear all the time: when using homeopathy, can we focus on just one symptom—the main one? And why do those smaller, less troubling symptoms matter so much in the healing process?

Foundations of health — we’re diving in! In this episode, we explore how sleep, sunlight, and nutrition shape overall well-being, sharing personal insights along the way. We highlight how lasting health comes from small, consistent habits—like movement, connection, and time in nature—not perfection. And of course, how homeopathy can help make it all feel achievable.

We couldn’t be more grateful to welcome back this incredible (now 14-year-old!) guest. Amelia’s got some truly exciting updates on her PANS/PANDAS healing journey, plus plenty of hope for the tweens and teens still fighting their way through it. Her progress is inspiring, her wisdom is real, and this is absolutely an episode you don’t want to miss.

Today, we break down the differences between homeopathy, isopathy, LDI, and LDA, and why understanding each person’s unique susceptibility matters for true healing. We dive into homeopathy’s law of similars and how it contrasts with isopathy’s “same cures same” approach. Oftentimes, this is why chasing symptoms often leads to short-term fixes. Join us by listening along!

In this heartfelt episode, Michelle opens up about her journey as a mom navigating the challenges of PANS/PANDAS with her son. She shares the ups and downs of their path — from early struggles and countless interventions to the hope and healing they found through homeopathy. Michelle reminds us that every child’s journey is unique, but no parent has to walk it alone. Through storytelling, advocacy, and community, she’s helping shed light on a condition that's too often misunderstood.

Rachel Roberts from the Homeopathy Research Institute joins us all the way from the UK to share about the incredible work she and her team are doing to advance homeopathy research. We feel so grateful for this conversation—and hope it sparks the same excitement and curiosity in you that it did in us!
