Mom & Doc Talk: Healing PANS/PANDAS

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. She shares how she discovered homeopathy and the real-life ups and downs of her healing process. With honesty and vulnerability, Dr. Bahr explains why she truly understands what families are going through and why she has dedicated her life to helping others who could easily be her own family.

Marianne Knight joins us to share her son’s PANS/PANDAS journey—from the depths of severe symptoms to a place of healing and hope. The trajectory of his recovery is nothing short of miraculous.

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.

Dr. Bahr and Jody sit down with Toni Wilkinson to share a mother’s perspective on navigating her son’s PANS/PANDAS struggles and healing journey. Toni discusses the emotional impact on her family, the role of homeopathy, and the hope that emerges through patience, support, and trusting the process.
