Functional nutrition and medicine is a branch of medicine that addresses the system as a whole. Denise Voight’s “fall” into autism began when she was looking for ways that she could help her son with his ADHD diagnosis. She wanted to treat her son’s whole body and not simply his hyperactivity. With a Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, Denise helps clients address all of the interconnected problems that arise from biochemical imbalances, hormone issues, neurotransmitter disruptors, and gut problems in order to improve symptoms, issues, and behaviors.

While you consider whether to turn to functional nutrition, you should consider what the biggest levers you can pull to help your child out the most. Functional nutrition may be a small lever for you, or it may make a huge difference. If you are dealing with potty training issues or weaning, now may not be the time to explore this option.

In today’s video you’ll learn:
✔️ Common mineral deficiencies in children autism and ADHD.
✔️ How a zinc deficiency can impact a child’s behavior and appetite.
✔️ Creative ideas for overhauling a permanent diet change for your child.
✔️ How to know when it’s time to address nutrition.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
