0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to this week's episode of Red Pill Your Healthcast. |
0:05.9 | My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz, and I'm here with Lauren Johnson, your favorite nurse. |
0:10.1 | And we're going to be talking about a topic that I feel like I've been getting, |
0:14.1 | and Lauren, too, has been getting a ton of questions on Instagram about it. |
0:17.5 | And so we thought we'd break it down. |
0:18.7 | And that is pans and pandas and strep. |
0:21.8 | So Lauren, what is pans and pandas? And let's kind of dive in. Then we'll just take it from there. |
0:27.6 | Okay. So pandas is actually, well, pans pandas is actually an autoimmune disorder of the brain. |
0:35.9 | Just like you would have an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid, |
0:39.7 | you have an autoimmune, this is an autoimmune disorder that involves the brain, but it's a |

1:13.2 | And but then they eventually found these kids that were having it that were that had not had strep. And, and we'll talk about all the |
1:19.6 | different triggers for it. But PANS is basically pediatric, acute onset, neuropsychiatric |
1:25.9 | syndrome. But they are very similar. They have a few |
1:30.6 | differences. But basically strep can trigger pandas. And strep, even if it's treated with |
1:39.9 | antibiotics, which is what they really want, is it could still turn into pandas if there is |
1:48.3 | immune dysregulation. And that is really the key here is understanding why, like what |
1:56.5 | environment sets the stage. And so there's an immune dysregulation component. There is a leaky |
