Noticing behavior changes? PANS/PANDAS could be the cause!
PANS/PANDAS is a life-changing diagnosis that’s often overlooked, yet it can be the root cause of anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and even autism. These autoimmune-driven conditions happen when the immune system mistakenly attacks the brain, causing a mix of neurological and psychological symptoms. In this episode, The Holistic Kids and Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer explore PANS/PANDAS, discussing the signs, symptoms, and how healing is possible.
Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer, PhD, NPP, PNP, RN-BC, IFMCP, is a double board-certified Psychiatric and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and certified Functional Medicine practitioner with over 25 years of experience. As Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Arbor Health, she specializes in helping kids heal from conditions like PANS/PANDAS, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and autism, blending conventional and holistic approaches to uncover root causes and support lasting healing.
