Episode 67: Functional Medicine Pediatrician Dr. Elisa Song on PANS/PANDAS DX and Treatment

In this podcast of New Frontiers, I’m talking with Dr. Elisa Song,
a functional medicine pediatrician and superb teacher. If you are
practicing FxMed, you’re probably seeing more and more kids if your
scope allows (even if you didn’t before). Kids need FxMed, yet
there are arguably LESS pediatricians transitioning into FxMed than
other disciplines. Thus, working with kids can come with questions
– labs, dosing interventions. Listen as Dr. Song and I gallop
through loads of foundational information (and we’ll provide more
down the road – a blog, another podcast – we’ll see) as this is a
huge, important area for us. Here, the bulk of our time on New
Frontiers is on PANS/PANDAS: how to identify, and what to do. Both
are forms of infection-triggered autoimmune encephalitis. Take a
listen, and be sure to comment on iTunes or wherever you’re
listening. I’d love to learn your thoughts! ~DrKF
