Today, we discuss the symptoms of school refusal and cognitive regressions. School refusal is when a child/teen struggles to attend school due to emotional distress. Cognitive regression is a noticeable loss of previously mastered skills. Both can be heartbreaking to witness — but 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.
Today, we discuss sleep disruptions. Children with PANS/PANDAS may experience sleep disruptions such as trouble falling asleep, frequent night wakings, nightmares, restless sleep, early waking, and more. Although this symptom is another tough one for the whole family, it can absolutely heal with homeopathy.
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 and Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr and Jody discuss Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), its distinction from traditional eating disorders, and the role of homeopathy in healing.
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.
If you’ve seen one PANS/PANDAS kiddo - you’ve seen one. This condition can present with a whole host of different symptoms that range in severity, and every child has a different presentation. In this episode of Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr and Jody are joined by guest host Brittany Sumner to discuss the symptom of rage. Rage is an intense, sudden outburst of anger or aggression that is often disproportionate to the situation. It is a common symptom seen in PANS/PANDAS and 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!
In this episode of Mom & Doc Talk, Dr. Bahr and Jody discuss the patience and persistence needed when supporting your child’s healing journey. Healing with homeopathy takes time and often includes ups and downs, but the focus is always on restoring your child’s health and moving beyond PANS/PANDAS for good.

When you’re parenting a child with PANS/PANDAS, it can be hard to tell what’s what — is it a symptom, a personality trait, part of how they’re wired, or just age-appropriate behavior? The ladies dive into this relatable topic in our latest episode — we hope you’ll listen in! 💛
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?
