Advertise on podcast: Mom & Doc Talk: Healing PANS/PANDAS

Many PANS/PANDAS parents have watched doctors dismiss their concerns. You may have even seen judgment in other parents’ or family member’s eyes. Talking about PANS/PANDAS (and homeopathy) with the people around you isn’t always easy. So, how do you explain what’s happening? How do you navigate the questions, the judgment, and the conversations that come with it? In this episode of Mom & Doc Talk, we’re talking about how to approach others about the things you’re going through—and how to navigate those conversations.

This week on Mom & Doc Talk, we’re turning the focus to YOU—the PANS/PANDAS parent. Because let’s be honest… navigating healing for your PANS/PANDAS child is HARD. And sometimes, in the middle of fighting for their health and well-being, we forget that we need support and healing, too. Could making your own healing part of the journey benefit both you and your child? Dr. Bahr, Jody, and Lori get raw and real about this often-overlooked side of the PANS/PANDAS healing journey. We hope you’ll tune in!

In this week’s episode of Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr, Jody, and Lori talk about that parental role alongside their homeopath in the healing process AND the mindset shift that comes along with it: remembering what brought you here, leaning into the process, and giving yourself permission to take a breath when things feel overwhelming.

Continuing our Navigating Recovery series, this week’s episode of Mom & Doc Talk tackles a question many families have: Can you incorporate medications and other therapies alongside homeopathy—and does it make sense to do so? What happens when you’re using multiple approaches? Can it get confusing? And how do you know what’s actually helping? The ladies dive into all of these questions and more.

Today, Dr. Bahr, Jody, and Lori dive into expectations, dosing, remedy responses, and aggravations—and why the experience can look so different from one child to another. They also highlight the learning curve in beginning to communicate with your provider!

What does the very beginning of a healing journey with homeopathy actually look like?  This week on Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr, Jody, and Lori continue the Navigating Recovery series and talk about something that doesn’t always get enough attention: the shift in expectations and mindset that can come with approaching PANS/PANDAS recovery with homeopathy. Jody and Lori get real about their own struggles and wins, while Dr. Bahr breaks down why homeopathic healing looks so different from the conventional approach—and why that can be a good thing.

Dr. Bahr, Jody, and Lori are back for the first installment of our “Navigating Recovery” series, tackling two big questions many PANS/PANDAS families face: “Does my child have PANS/PANDAS?” and “Can homeopathy help them recover?” Jody and Lori share personal perspectives from their children’s journeys, while Dr. Bahr offers insight from her experience as a homeopath who has helped hundreds of PANS/PANDAS children navigate recovery.

In this episode, Dr. Bahr and Jody are joined by the lovely Lori Bean as they talk about what’s ahead, what you can expect this season, and give you a little sneak peek at what’s in store.

In this episode, Dr. Bahr opens up about her personal recovery journey—from noticing the early signs and navigating misdiagnoses, to experiencing both treatment successes and setbacks.
