What happens when your body suddenly stops feeling like your own — and no one can explain why?

In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter sits down with Ethan Pompeo, PANDAS survivor and founder of Green Valley Nutrition, to talk about transforming health through simple, holistic lifestyle changes that support true healing.

Ethan shares his deeply personal journey from being a healthy 13-year-old athlete to developing debilitating neurological symptoms connected to PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). After years of misdiagnosis, medications, anxiety, tics, OCD behaviors, and frustration, Ethan began searching for answers beyond conventional treatment.

Together, Autumn and Ethan explore inflammation, nervous system health, the mind-body connection, holistic healing, CBD, lifestyle shifts, exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, and the importance of staying curious instead of giving up. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is rarely about one “magic fix.” Often, it’s about building supportive habits, finding the right tools, and creating a life that allows your body and mind to begin recovering.

Ethan also shares how his struggles eventually led him to create Green Valley Nutrition, where he now helps others explore practical wellness tools and alternative approaches to health.
