About Me

PANS/PANDAS (paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections) are immune-mediated neuropsychiatric conditions. The symptoms of these conditions overlap significantly with autism but generally cause sudden functional problems, with onset occurring later in life. As a child, I experienced many signs of this disorder and endured years of lost time due to chronic ill health.

Eventually, I turned to nutrition for answers and learned that most illnesses, including autism and psychological problems, result from improper digestion and subsequent nutrient malabsorption. The GAPS diet made the connection between my neurological and intestinal health, which I used to heal my disease for several years. During this time, I studied nutrition and gained further insight into the growing field of gut-brain science and how its impaired state leads to whole-body dysfunction.

Neuroimmune disorders are some of the most challenging conditions to eradicate; however, I never believed they were impossible to heal from. With habituation to the right lifestyle, I can confidently say that complete reversal of disease is possible.
