Hi Reader,

What do pandas, childhood illness, and CBD have in common?

Meet Ethan Pompeo—a guest I recently had the honor of interviewing.

As a teen, Ethan was misdiagnosed with Tourette’s, put on more than 40 medications, and left feeling hopeless. It wasn’t until years later that he discovered the real culprit: PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus). Never heard of it? You’re not alone. Most doctors hadn’t either.

Ethan’s story isn’t just about misdiagnosis—it's about resilience, healing, and finding natural solutions that actually work. He’s now the founder of Green Valley Nutrition, a company that creates high-quality, THC-free CBD products to help others find the relief he spent years searching for.

In our conversation, we talk about:

• What PANDAS really is and why it’s often missed by medical professionals
• How inflammation affects the brain and body—and what to do about it
• Why Ethan turned away from prescription pills and marijuana, and how CBD changed everything
• What parents need to know if their child has anxiety, tics, or a mysterious health issue
• His powerful advice for families who feel stuck or overwhelmed

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, exhausted, or unsure how to support your teen’s health (or your own), this episode will give you guidance.

I teach young people every day about anxiety and I also teach their parents! I love teaching and I want to do more of it, so here is the deal...

Every month, I am going to offer a different workshop where I am going to teach different topics around anxiety. I will always have a blurb about it at the end of my Monday newsletter.
