Functional Neurology and PANS/PANDAS
PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are conditions believed to stem from an autoimmune response that disrupts normal brain function, particularly in regions governing behavior, emotion, and movement. In these cases, an infection, most commonly streptococcal bacteria in PANDAS, triggers the immune system to mistakenly target neuronal tissue, especially within the basal ganglia. This immune-mediated inflammation can alter neurotransmitter signaling and disrupt neural circuits, leading to the sudden onset of symptoms like obsessive-compulsive behaviors, motor tics, anxiety, and cognitive disturbances. Understanding the neurophysiology of PANS/PANDAS highlights the complex interplay between the immune system and the brain, and it opens the door to targeted therapies aimed at reducing neuroinflammation and restoring neurologic balance.

The Parkinson’s Belt: What You Need to Know if You Live in the Midwest and Southern States
The “Parkinson’s Belt” refers to a geographic region in the United States, primarily in the Midwest and parts of the South, that shows significantly higher rates of Parkinson’s disease (PD) compared to other areas. States like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania fall into this category. Researchers have been studying why this regional pattern exists, and growing evidence seems to point to a combination of environmental exposures, particularly pesticides and air pollutants, as contributing factors to this neurodegenerative condition.

Are Your Favorite Fragrances Hiding Hormone Disrupting Chemicals?
One common side effect of using synthetic fragrances is endocrine disruption. The chemicals that do this are known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Once absorbed into the bloodstream, they can interfere with the endocrine system by mimicking a certain hormone or blocking a hormone receptor. EDCs can also alter the amount of actual hormones in the body by disrupting how they are produced, metabolized, and stored in the body. Over time, the use of these chemicals in the body can lead to things such as early puberty in adolescents, estrogen dominance, endometriosis, decreased sperm count and motility in men, and infertility. In addition, they also affect the way hormones communicate with almost all other systems in the body and are linked to promoting certain cancers. Therefore, it is easy to begin to see how much havoc EDCs can create in the human body.
