Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer, PhD, NPP, PNP, RN-BC, IFMCP, is redefining how we understand and treat pediatric mental health. A pioneer in Pediatric Functional Psychiatry, she goes beyond symptom management to uncover the root causes of Anxiety, Depression, OCD, ADHD, Autism, and more in children and adolescents. With over 25 years in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Functional Medicine, Dr. Zendi integrates brain science, nutrition, and holistic healing to drive real, lasting transformation. 

After successfully treating hundreds of children, Dr. Zendi has learned that many mental health challenges stem from underlying medical issues, not psychiatric disorders. Mold exposure, gut imbalances, Neurologic Lyme Disease, and systemic inflammation frequently fuel these conditions. At the core is PANS/PANDAS, an autoimmune disorder that inflames the brain, triggering severe shifts in behavior, mood, and cognition. Dr. Zendi’s expertise in identifying and treating these hidden triggers has changed lives—and now, she’s sharing her proven insights with the world.   

A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Dr. Zendi delivers cutting-edge, evidence-based strategies with clarity, compassion, and real-world application. She has spoken at major medical conferences, trained healthcare professionals nationwide, and is recognized as a leading expert in Functional Psychiatry and Neuroimmune Disorders. Whether on stage or behind the mic, she engages, educates, and empowers audiences to rethink what’s possible in pediatric mental health.
