In this podcast we will dive into all things health and wellness. My Salsa Sol Food approach breaks down how physical activity, nourishing self-care and intentional eating are all a part of healing our bodies and minds. After many years of mysterious chronic symptoms I wanted to share my health journey and help guide others. We do not take ourselves too seriously on this show and want to make you laugh!!!

Produced by Mark Damon
In today's episode we interview the Director of the Boston Ayurveda School, Kim Valeri Povey. She is a yoga therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner and activist for holistic health. She discussed with us how your specific mind quality can show if you have a tendency towards clarity (sense of calm), over activity (anxiety) or heaviness (depression). She describes her work practicing a healing therapy called Sattva Vajaya and how she first learned to start a dialogue within her own body after a near death experience.

Episode 24 - PANS/PANDAS + Mind Gut Connection + Anti-inflammatory Diet
In today's episode we interview the fabulous Helen Spignese. She is a mental health counselor and also my sister. She is an advocate for families dealing with an autoimmune disease known as PANS/PANDAS after her son Jackson was diagnosed. This is a condition where inflammation and stealth infections in the gut/body lead to the brain and create neurological symptoms. Helen continues to explore the importance of the mind gut connection to not only help her own family, but to also assist her clients. She is currently studying to become a health coach with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to deepen her knowledge of holistic approaches. Please take a listen and check out the resources below if you or a loved one may be suffering. PANS/PANDAS awareness day is October 9th 2021.

Initial blood work to rule out/in a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis:
1. Strep titers: Anti-DNase B and ASO
2. Mycoplasma titers: IgM and IgG
(Mycoplasma is linked to autoimmune encephalitis, as well as PANS. An elevated IgM is suggestive of a recent infection such as pneumonia or bronchitis, but can persist in autoimmune disorders also)
3. Lyme titers
