PANS/PANDAS
Finding the best functional physician to treat the complicated conditions of Pans or Pandas on a cellular level is a top priority. Then a comprehensive neurological approach like brain and autonomic nervous system regulation with the use of accelerant modalities, can be of significant support, and also rewire function back into the body.
We see many clients who have this condition as a co-morbidity while in our program. While we do not treat Pans/Panda specifically, we can strengthen the brain and nervous systems to optimal levels outside of the Pans/Pandas exposure.
As we move through our protocols, we can work in tandem to slow the program down or pause if a flare-up or period of transition occurs that is inherent to this condition.
When the brain starts to recover
Evan’s story reflects what can happen when the brain is no longer stuck in constant dysregulation. Living with severe neuroinflammation and behavioral symptoms linked to PANS and PANDAS, he struggled with intense distress behaviors, including self-injury and full dependence on his mother for daily care.
In these conditions, the brain can shift into a state of extreme over-activation. Emotions, behaviors, and even basic daily functioning can feel completely overwhelmed. What once looked like “behavioral issues” is often a nervous system and immune-driven response that keeps the brain locked in survival mode.
As support and regulation-focused approaches were introduced, changes began to emerge over time. Moments of calm became more accessible, daily tasks became possible again, and skills that were once out of reach started to return in small but meaningful steps.
This reflects what can happen when the brain is supported toward stability: not a change in who someone is, but a gradual return of function as dysregulation begins to ease.

“11-year-old Ethan reports that things are going really well. He’s starting to notice a real difference in himself.
During a recent week-long break from school—typically a time when he becomes so dysregulated that hospitalization is required—Ethan was able to move through challenges much more smoothly.
He did experience a PANS/PANDAS episode, describing that he ‘didn’t feel safe in his body,’ but with support from his dad using Brain Harmony tools, he was able to regulate without needing to call the police or go to the hospital.
Ethan is now starting to genuinely enjoy the program. In his own words: ‘Time to vibe!’”
— A mom’s testimonial: helping her son navigate PANS/PANDAS
“This New Year’s Eve, Elias did not become physically upset with a whole body shake during the ball drop!
He verbally stated ‘that was easier on me this year.’
Elias’s brother even noticed how much calmer Elias is from the last time he saw him.
Overall regulation has improved and he has a really great friend that is a girl. He got stuck in an upsetting conversation with her but was able to come to me and we problem solved through it calmly. He was then able to work out a calm solution with his friend.
He has been so communicative overall and doing so very well!”

“Before Brain Harmony, my child was hitting his head out of frustration and felt completely out of control. Now, he’s able to fold his own laundry and take pride in accomplishing daily tasks. It’s amazing to see him calm, focused, and gaining confidence—Brain Harmony has truly changed his life."
