From Chaos to Calm: The Hidden Key to Healing PANS/PANDAS


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of the Demystifying PANS/PANDAS Podcast, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge shares her decades of experience helping children with PANS/PANDAS by addressing one often-overlooked root cause: nervous system dysregulation. We also break down how regulating the nervous system can unlock healing, improve therapy outcomes, and transform the lives of both children and their caregivers.

In this episode of the Demystifying PANS/PANDAS Podcast, I welcome Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a mental health expert and neurotherapy pioneer, to discuss why regulating the nervous system is critical for healing children with PANS/PANDAS. Dr. Roseann emphasizes that trauma, chronic stress, and inflammation keep both children and parents locked in a state of sympathetic overdrive, making healing difficult or impossible. We also delve into how stress responses derail treatments and how parents’ own dysregulation often contributes to the family’s struggles.

This conversation explores practical and empowering tools like neurofeedback, magnesium supplements, and daily habits like breathwork and mantra repetition to bring calm to chaotic households. Dr. Roseann also explains how OCD can take root in activated brains, why talk therapy alone often fails, and how lifestyle changes can unlock the path to real progress. This episode is a call to action for both parents and practitioners to prioritize nervous system health, not as a luxury, but as the foundation for everything else.
