Episode 75: Ethan Pompeo

Overcoming PANDAS with CBD: A Journey to Wellness

« Back to Podcasts

Show Notes:

Ethan Pompeo was a healthy 13-year-old when his life took an unexpected turn. He began experiencing spontaneous tics, repetitive movements, compulsive behaviors, and severe anxiety. After a series of medical evaluations, Ethan was diagnosed with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections)—a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells.

Doctors prescribed a long list of pharmaceutical medications, but the side effects often outweighed the benefits. For ten years, Ethan struggled with the impact of both his condition and the medications. Determined to reclaim his life, he sought a natural solution—and found it in CBD (cannabidiol).

Unlike THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, CBD is a non-intoxicating, plant-based remedy known for its ability to support neurological health and reduce inflammation. For Ethan, CBD provided immediate relief, significantly reducing his PANDAS symptoms and helping him regain control of his life.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Ethan shared his powerful story on Bioenergetics Beat with host Heather Gray, offering insights on overcoming chronic illness:

  • Mindset Matters – He emphasizes the importance of not letting illness define you. “You are not your diagnosis—you are a person on a journey to recovery.”
  • CBD as a Tool, Not a Cure-All – While CBD played a key role in his healing, Ethan underscores that true recovery requires a holistic approach.
  • Supporting the Body for Maximum Recovery – He incorporates:
    • A protein-rich diet to support brain function and muscle recovery.
    • Strength training to rebuild muscle mass and aid neuroregeneration.
    • Detox and inflammation reduction with tools like the NIKKI wearable.

Inspired by his personal journey, Ethan founded Green Valley Nutrition, a company dedicated to providing high-quality, CBD-based wellness products to support those battling neurological and autoimmune conditions.
