Podcasts about pandas

In this episode of the Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Kate Kresge sits down with functional immunology expert and educator Dr. Samuel Yanuck to explore one of the most overlooked systems in chronic illness: the immune system. With clarity and compassion, Dr. Yanuck breaks down how immune dysregulation can contribute to complex conditions like depression, neuropathy, migraines, chronic fatigue, and even cardiovascular disease. From brain inflammation and mast cell activation to Epstein-Barr virus and mold, Dr. Yanuck offers a new way of thinking about biology—where inflammation isn't just a symptom, but a system that can be measured, understood, and treated. You'll here them discuss: - Why immunology could be at the root of nearly every chronic illness - The immune pathways that connect depression, anxiety, brain fog, and fatigue - What PANS, PANDAS, and autoimmune encephalitis really are—and why they're often misdiagnosed - How gut, brain, and immune health form a feedback loop - The labs you should run if you suspect chronic immune dysfunction - A framework for evaluating chronic viral infections like EBV and CMV - Natural immune modulators: Chinese skullcap, astragalus, quercetin, sulforaphane, and more - Why personalized immune workups—not protocols—create results Guest Bio: Dr. Samuel Yanuck is a functional medicine clinician and expert educator in functional immunology. He is the creator of Cogence Immunology, a comprehensive online training program that has educated over 9,000 clinicians in over 60 countries. His approach blends immunology, clinical experience, and systems thinking to help providers and patients uncover the true drivers of chronic illness. Dr. Yanuck is also the co-founder of the Yanuck Center for Life and Health in North Carolina, where he sees patients and helps clinicians find root-cause solutions to immune dysfunction through mentorship and collaboration. His work is helping reshape how the next generation of practitioners understand inflammation, autoimmunity, and healing.

This week on Beautiful Behavior, we're joined by Megan Hopp—mama, Nurse Practitioner, and Functional MedicineConsultant—whose personal journey into functional medicine began with one powerful realization: I'm not okay with these answers.When Megan started experiencing unexplainedsymptoms, she was met with the kind of responses many women know all too well—“Your labs are fine,” “It's just stress,” “You're a mom, of course you're tired.” For a while, she accepted those non-answers.But when her young son was diagnosed with PANDAS and she saw the same dismissive patterns in how his care was handled, something in her shifted. She began asking deeper questions, seeking real solutions, and ultimately discovered a whole new approach to health.In this episode, we talk about:*The gaps in traditional medicine when it comesto women's health*Why we often silence our intuition and settlefor less than we deserve*How Megan reclaimed her voice and chose adifferent path*What functional medicine is—and how it canempower you to feel better, not just “get by”This is not a conversation about burnout as abadge of honor. It's about learning to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and know that feeling like yourselfagain is possible.If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend or mama who needs to hear this reminder: You don't have to settle. You deserve to feel well. Subscribe, rate, andleave a review—it helps others find the show and join this movement of change.

Michael #1: platformdirs A small Python module for determining appropriate platform-specific dirs, e.g. a "user data dir". Why the community moved on from appdirs to platformdirs At AppDirs: Note: This project has been officially deprecated. You may want to check out pypi.org/project/platformdirs/ which is a more active fork of appdirs. Thanks to everyone who has used appdirs. Shout out to ActiveState for the time they gave their employees to work on this over the years. Better than AppDirs: Works today, works tomorrow – new Python releases sometimes change low-level APIs (win32com, pathlib, Apple sandbox rules). platformdirs tracks those changes so your code keeps running. First-class typing – no more types-appdirs stubs; editors autocomplete paths as Path objects. Richer directory set – if you need a user's Downloads folder or a per-session runtime dir, there's a helper for it. Cleaner internals – rewritten to use pathlib, caching, and extensive test coverage; all platforms are exercised in CI. Community stewardship – the project lives in the PyPA orbit and gets security/compatibility patches quickly. Brian #2: poethepoet - “Poe the Poet is a batteries included task runner that works well with poetry or with uv.” from Bob Belderbos Tasks are easy to define and are defined in pyproject.toml Michael #3: Python Pandas Ditches NumPy for Speedier PyArrow Pandas 3.0 will significantly boost performance by replacing NumPy with PyArrow as its default engine, enabling faster loading and reading of columnar data. Recently talked with Reuven Lerner about this on Talk Python too. In the next version, v3.0, PyArrow will be a required dependency, with pyarrow.string being the default type inferred for string data. PyArrow is 10 times faster. PyArrow offers columnar storage, which eliminates all that computational back and forth that comes with NumPy. PyArrow paves the way for running Pandas, by default, on Copy on Write mode, which improves memory and performance usage.

In this episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement, we get real about something many parents sense but can't quite name: when a child's behavior is actually a reflection of their biology. We talk about how signs like meltdowns, toe walking, chewing on everything, sleep issues, and poor posture might not be “just a phase” or even ADHD—they might be the result of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. We open up about our own parenting missteps and discoveries (hey, no judgment—we've all been there) and share the red flags we wish someone had pointed out earlier. From mouth breathing and tethered oral tissues to overlooked conditions like POTS, PANDAS, and EDS, this episode connects the dots between the mouth, the nervous system, and your child's overall regulation. Key Takeaways:-Behavior is biology. What looks like defiance might be your child's nervous system screaming for help.-The mouth tells a story. Chronic mouth breathing, low tongue posture, and poor sleep are often the first clues.-It's more common than we think. Conditions like POTS and PANDAS are often misdiagnosed or missed entirely.-Small shifts = big impact. We talk about tools like nasal breathing exercises, crunchy foods, craniosacral therapy, and myofunctional work that can help bring your child's body back to safety and balance.-Be the advocate. No one knows your child like you do. If no one is asking the right questions, you can—and should—start doing so. If your child struggles with focus, emotions, sleep, or sensory overload, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Let's stop guessing and start seeing. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me. If I can not help, I can get you to a provider that can.https://shereewertz.com/15-min

Tamara Lucas, the founder and CEO of My Panda, has turned that universal feeling into a business that's transforming lives and communities. My Panda, short for “Personal Assistant Next Door App,” connects people with trusted, hyper-local assistants—called Pandas—who can handle everything from grocery runs to household chores.“What we need is community,” Tamara said during today's episode. “What we need is people to turn to that we trust to be able to ask for the help that we need and also an opportunity for people to provide assistance and help.”Unlike gig-economy platforms like TaskRabbit or Uber, My Panda emphasizes community, trust, and mutual support. Tasks submitted through the app are matched with Pandas in the user's local area, fostering a sense of connection and accountability. “You're a lot less likely to steal someone's grandmother's jewelry if you're going to run into them at Publix,” Tamara joked.The business model is as innovative as it is impactful. Users pay a flat hourly rate for services, with membership options that offer discounts and additional perks. Pandas, who are independent contractors, are primarily women—just like the users they assist. This creates what Tamara describes as “a culture of women helping women,” which has become a hallmark of My Panda.Tamara is also leveraging community to fund her vision. Through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, anyone can invest in My Panda, starting with as little as $100. “By doing crowdfunding, not only are we raising the capital that we need to grow,” she explained, “but we're also giving people a sense of ownership and deepening relationships within the community.”As My Panda prepares to expand beyond Atlanta to new markets like Charlottesville, Virginia, Tamara's vision of creating a modern-day village is gaining momentum. Her approach is about more than convenience—it's about rebuilding the connections we've lost in today's fast-paced, individualistic world.My Panda isn't just a service; it's a movement. It's a reminder that we're better together, and with the right tools, we can create a community that lifts everyone up.tl;dr:My Panda connects people with hyper-local assistants to provide trusted help for daily tasks.The app fosters community by hiring local Pandas and creating a culture of mutual support.My Panda's business model includes flat hourly rates, memberships, and perks for users.Tamara's superpower is empathy, helping her identify and act on others' needs.The company is raising capital via a WeFunder crowdfunding campaign to support its expansion.How to Develop Empathy and Connection As a SuperpowerTamara Lucas's superpower is her ability to deeply listen, empathize, and connect with others. “My biggest superpower is my ability to listen to people and connect with people, understand what their needs are, and then really creating spaces and connections for them to get those needs met,” she explained in today's episode. Tamara's background in psychology and social work has informed her approach, but it's her natural ability to engage and understand people that has been the foundation of her success.One day, a conversation with a friend sparked the idea for My Panda. Tamara's friend, a dog walker, shared her frustration: “I go into people's homes, and they need so much more than just a dog walk.” That moment of connection inspired Tamara to envision a platform where people could easily ask for—and get—the help they need. My Panda was born from her ability to listen, empathize, and act on the needs of others.To develop this superpower, Tamara's advice is straightforward yet profound:Practice Active Listening: Stop rehearsing your response in your head and focus entirely on what the other person is saying.Cultivate Empathy: Try to understand the emotions and experiences behind someone's words.Think Creatively About Support: Look for ways you—and your community—can offer help and share resources.Embrace Connection: Remember that humans are meant to live in community, not in isolation.By following Tamara's example and advice, you can make empathy and connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTamara V Lucas (she/her):CEO & Founder, My PandaAbout My Panda: My Panda (Personal Assistant Next Door App) is a tech-enabled, community-powered platform that connects people with trusted, local assistants, called Pandas - to help with everyday personal tasks.

Don't miss this summer kick-off episode of The Just A Mom Podcast featuring Anna McCasland. Anna has an incredible and unique journey as a person with lived experience with PANDAS, which is short for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections.  PANDAS is a rare autoimmune condition that can occur in children after a strep throat infection, and is characterized by a sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive (OCD) along with other behavioral and emotional changes. Anna candidly shares how, after a strep throat infection at age 12, her life changed. Anna chronicles her journey and how her parents were incredible advocates for her and how, after a myriad of mental health treatments, including numerous medications and therapy, she was able to lead a fairly typical life in high school and college.  However, things changed dramatically when Anna graduated from college and started her first job. Anna tells how she became a shell of a person, experiencing a host of physical and mental health issues. Because of the tenacity of Anna and her parents, Anna was able to locate a researcher in PANDAS, and her life virtually changed within days of a new treatment and understanding of her PANDAS. Anna shares how she cares for herself and her mental health, and encourages parents to listen to their children and not to give up looking for answers.

In this comprehensive deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel explores PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS from a neurologically-focused perspective. Drawing from his extensive clinical experience treating hundreds of PANDAS cases, Dr. Ebel reveals why traditional biomedical and functional medicine approaches, while important, often fall short when not properly sequenced with nervous system care.This episode challenges the conventional understanding that PANDAS begins in the gut, instead presenting compelling evidence that nervous system dysfunction is the root cause that then triggers the cascade of gut dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Dr. Ebel provides a detailed clinical protocol for healing, emphasizing the critical importance of addressing nervous system regulation first before implementing intensive biomedical interventions.Key Topics & TimestampsIntroduction & PANDAS Overview [00:00:00 - 00:06:00]Definition and why PANDAS cases spike during seasonal transitionsThe "perfect storm" nature of PANDAS requiring deep understandingDr. Ebel's Background & The PANDAS Rollercoaster [00:06:00 - 00:16:00]Clinical experience with hundreds of PANDAS casesPersonal story with his daughter's toxic exposureSetting realistic expectations: peaks, valleys, and signs of true healingWhy Current Approaches Fall Short [00:16:00 - 00:25:00]Traditional medicine limitationsFunctional medicine gets "one or two layers deep" but misses root causeWhy families feel stuck despite "doing everything right"The Root Cause: Nervous System First [00:25:00 - 00:36:00]Why gut-focused approaches miss the deeper issueNervous system → gut → immune → inflammation cycleThe reality of supplement overload and extreme restrictionsFinding the Right Practitioners & Protocol [00:36:00 - 00:50:00]Importance of expert-level care from neurologically-focused providersWhy "full send" biomedical approaches too early make kids worseThe 90-180 day nervous system stabilization periodClinical Implementation: The Reset Approach [00:50:00 - 01:01:00]Pausing 80% of supplements while keeping basicsUsing INSiGHT scans to achieve neurological stabilityRealistic timeline: 1-3 year healing journey with proper sequencing-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, host Mary Greensmith chats with homeopath Anna Bihari, who specializes in helping children with PANS and PANDAS. Anna is an active practitioner with Homeopathy 247 and also provides support in two Facebook communities—one focused on PANS/PANDAS and another on detoxing with homeopathy. What Are PANS and PANDAS? Anna explains that these are pediatric autoimmune conditions that affect neurological and psychiatric health. PANS: Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome PANDAS: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections These conditions can cause a sudden onset of symptoms like obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anxiety, aggression, and tics. They are often triggered by infections or environmental stressors, and many families feel overwhelmed navigating conventional treatment routes. Why Parents Seek Homeopathy Anna shares that many parents turn to homeopathy after trying other options that haven't brought relief. They're often searching for a more holistic, gentle, and effective approach. Anna reassures listeners that homeopathy can be deeply supportive, not only for the child's symptoms but also for the emotional toll on the whole family. Homeopathy's Individualized Approach No two children are treated the same way in homeopathy. Anna emphasizes how treatment plans are tailored to each child's specific symptoms, personality, and medical history. Whether a child is dealing with aggression, OCD, sleep issues, or other challenges, remedies are selected to match the whole picture—not just the diagnosis. Detoxing and Layers of Healing Another key topic discussed is the idea of detoxing with homeopathy. Anna talks about how certain toxins or medications (like antibiotics or vaccines) may play a role in triggering or worsening symptoms in sensitive children. Homeopathy can gently support the body in detoxifying these substances and clearing blocks to healing. Healing is rarely a straight line, and Anna encourages parents to be patient and open-minded. Often, multiple layers need to be addressed over time, including immune stress, emotional trauma, and inherited patterns. Finding Support and Community Anna's work in Facebook groups offers daily support and encouragement to families on this journey. These spaces allow parents to ask questions, share experiences, and feel less alone. Anna notes how valuable it is for parents to connect with others who truly understand the challenges of PANS/PANDAS.

Sie sind eine Art Nationaltier in China, fast schon heilig: Die Pandabären. Hoch kompliziert in der Nachzucht, gelten die Tiere immer noch als gefährdet. China unternimmt große Anstrengungen, um den Bestand zu sichern und auszubauen. Gleichzeitig sind sie ein Milliardengeschäft und ein Mittel der Diplomatie. Seit Jahrzehnten verschickt China Pandas in die ganze Welt, schmiedet damit Allianzen und nutzt die Tiere, um das eigene Image zu stärken. Meist werden sie gegen eine Millionengebühr verliehen, der Nachwuchs muss zurück nach China. Bekannt ist das auch als Panda-Diplomatie. Was drückt die chinesische Staatsführung damit aus, wenn sie Pandabären verleiht, wie politisch sind diese Leihgaben? Wir sprechen mit unseren ARD-Korrespondent*innen in Peking und Shanghai über die Aufzuchtstation in Chengdu, den Artenschutz und die Panda-Diplomatie. Und wir fragen den Panda-Kurator im Berliner Zoo, Dr. Florian Sicks, wie die Nachzucht funktioniert. Der Berliner Zoo ist Deutschland einziger Tierpark mit Pandabären und steht regelmäßig in Kontakt mit China. "Welt.Macht.China" ist der China-Podcast der ARD. Aktuelle und ehemalige Korrespondent*innen und Expert*innen haben sich zusammengetan, um einen vielfältigen Einblick zu geben in das riesige Land.

Naturopath Keonie Moore shares in-depth clinical experience on managing Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS) with Ambassador Emma Sutherland. Together they define the key differences between PANDAS and PANS, as well as the the common triggers, signs and symptoms to help clinicians pinpoint the condition - including an overview of the research history backing this relatively newly understood condition. They also discuss the immune-based pathophysiology that not only involves the nervous system but centralises around gastrointestinal health, triggering systemic inflammation. Keonie shares several components of her Moore method; a treatment plan where specific microbiome, nutrigenomic and pathology tests are recommended to help clinicians determine PANDAS and their therapeutic recommendations. Finally, Keonie details an in-depth, informative, and practical case study of a ten-year-old boy who had severe tic disorder, outlining her strategic approach to the case, therapeutic considerations and dosages, and ultimate outcome. The case study shows the determination of the patient, his family and the clinician in order to bring him back to health.

Excitement is building at the San Francisco Zoo as preparations continue for the arrival of two giant pandas later this year. As KCBS Radio news reporter Matt Bigler reports, zoo officials remain optimistic the beloved black-and-white bears will make their way to their new home, despite the ongoing trade war with China.

Pandas is at a the core of virtually all data science done in Python, that is virtually all data science. Since it's beginning, Pandas has been based upon numpy. But changes are afoot to update those internals and you can now optionally use PyArrow. PyArrow comes with a ton of benefits including it's columnar format which makes answering analytical questions faster, support for a range of high performance file formats, inter-machine data streaming, faster file IO and more. Reuven Lerner is here to give us the low-down on the PyArrow revolution.

Send us a textWhat happens when a simple strep throat infection triggers a devastating autoimmune response that attacks your brain? At age 13, Ethan Pompeo's life changed overnight when mysterious motor tics, compulsive behaviors, and overwhelming anxiety suddenly appeared, beginning a two-decade journey toward answers and healing.Ethan takes us through the frustrating reality of living with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neurological Disorders Associated with Strep) – a condition where strep antibodies cross the blood-brain barrier and create inflammation in the basal ganglia. His vivid descriptions of trying to complete simple tasks while battling uncontrollable tics paint a stark picture of the daily challenges faced by those with neurological autoimmune disorders.The path to diagnosis wasn't straightforward. Misdiagnosed with Tourette syndrome, Ethan became what he calls a "pill guinea pig," cycling through over 40 different medications by age 17, with side effects often worse than his symptoms. This experience fostered a deep skepticism of conventional medicine and pushed him toward finding his own solutions.What makes Ethan's story particularly compelling is his holistic approach to recovery. Moving to Colorado to work on an organic farm became a turning point, introducing him to lifestyle changes that would transform his health. His discovery that CBD's anti-inflammatory properties – not the psychoactive effects of cannabis – were addressing the root cause of his brain inflammation led to a comprehensive healing protocol combining anti-inflammatory diet, strategic supplementation, strength training, and cognitive behavioral therapy.Today, Ethan is 95% symptom-free and dedicated to helping others through PANDAS advocacy. His powerful message about accepting his condition rather than hiding it resonates beyond just those with autoimmune disorders: "The day I decided to be open about what I'm dealing with, it's like I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders."Whether you're battling chronic illness or supporting someone who is, Ethan's journey offers practical insights, scientific understanding, and above all, hope.

In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, we go behind the scenes of autoimmunity to explore what's really triggering your symptoms. From past infections to gut dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, adrenal overload, and genetics—this episode unpacks the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Most autoimmune disorders are connected to previous infections, including viruses and bacteria. A damaged gut barrier can trigger immune dysregulation—leaky gut is real. Vitamin D isn't optional: low levels suppress the immune system's ability to respond. Chronic stress and overactive adrenals can drive autoimmune flare-ups. Genetic variants like MTHFR may increase susceptibility to autoimmune conditions. FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Challenge is an 8-week reset designed to support your gut, liver, and gallbladder—key systems often disrupted in autoimmune conditions. As discussed in this episode, improving digestion is foundational for reducing inflammation and supporting immune resilience.

The black and white bear from China can't hide from Jrad and Steed in this week's Chubstep as they talk all things Panda. But first Jrad is back from Namibia where he has been introducing Beanie Babies into the country for the first time and creating a new Beanie economy. The guys discuss recent trips to Austin, Texas with repeated back injuries, running into Jersey Mike in St. Augustine, Florida and getting one weekend away with a groom before he's married. For the main Panda event the guys discuss: the performer Red Panda, why these carnivores eating bamboo is stupid, captivity reproduction being a dream for certain members of society, the illegal ways Panda's first entered the country, the Chinese Panda barter system, panda attacks, and the best zoo animals to eat

When Ethan was just 13, his life was turned upside down by a sudden wave of neurological symptoms—severe anxiety, OCD, motor tics, and loss of motor function. After years of misdiagnoses and over 40 prescription medications, he was finally diagnosed with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). In this episode, Ethan opens up about his long and difficult road to healing—how conventional medicine failed him, what ultimately led him to natural solutions, and how working on a regenerative farm and discovering the power of CBD played a major role in calming his nervous system and restoring his health. Whether you're navigating unexplained neurological symptoms, chronic anxiety, or you're curious about natural alternatives like CBD, Ethan's story will leave you encouraged and inspired.  Links: Green Valley Nutrition.

Dr. Denis Bouboulis is a leading specialist in Neuro-Immunology, known for his pioneering work in diagnosing and treating PANS/PANDAS, which is a Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS), autoimmune encephalitis, and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease. As the Founder and Director of Superior Associates Infusion Center and head of Advanced Allergy, Immunology & Asthma in Connecticut, he has successfully treated thousands of patients whose conditions were often overlooked or misdiagnosed. With over 13 years of experience as a board-certified physician and a medical degree from New York Medical College, Dr. Bouboulis is committed to raising awareness and delivering cutting-edge care for both common and complex immune-related conditions.   In today's episode of Conversations on Healing, host Shay Beider welcomes Dr. Denis Bouboulis to discuss vector-borne illness, Long COVID, PANS/PANDAS, and the body's immune response. The two discuss how vector-based infections like Lyme disease and parasitic bacteria can remain dormant until a triggering event—such as COVID-19—causes a breakdown in the immune system, leading to symptomatic and chronic illness. Dr. Bouboulis also talks about autoimmune encephalitis, particularly how the basal ganglia is affected and why a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. He shares how he treats some of these autoimmune diseases, and offers hope to patients.   Listen to the complete episode by clicking the player above.

Send us a textTalking About Kids is committed to the science of raising happy and healthy children and adolescents. Unfortunately, there are times when the best research seems out of sync with the needs of families. For example, it is rare for me to encounter the parent of a neurodivergent kid who is completely satisfied with their child's diagnosis or the care their child is receiving. This is especially true for kids whose issues are defined by a combination of symptoms, some of which may be contradictory or shared by multiple syndromes. My guest today is Ethan Pompeo. Ethan has pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections or PANDAS. In this episode, Ethan describes how his and his family's inability to find a suitable treatment for him eventually led them to CBD. Ethan and I discuss PANDAS, his experience with CBD, what CBD is and is not, the state of the research on CBD as a treatment for PANDAS and other conditions, and how Ethan's company, Green Valley Nutrition, is helping advance the science. While researchers from groups like the Harvard Medical School agree that the available studies of CBD are promising, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is more to learn, which is why you should review the evidence yourself and consult with the care team before introducing CBD into a kid's treatment regimen.
