Manage episode 413595354 series 3528574
In the second installment of our Autism/ADHD podcast series, we embark on a journey to unravel the intricate interplay between genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices in the realm of neurodevelopmental disorders.
With a firm commitment to informed decision-making, we tackle the contentious topic of vaccines, emphasizing the importance of education and research in safeguarding the well-being of our families. Delving into the realm of epigenetics, we explore how environmental, dietary, and lifestyle triggers can shape genetic expression, offering hope and insight into tailored interventions for ADHD and Autism spectrum disorders.
Reflecting on the exponential growth of knowledge and resources in recent years, we highlight the wealth of testing options and the integration of conventional and functional medicine approaches in pursuit of answers and solutions for our children.
Drawing attention to Fragile X Syndrome and its potential links to ADHD and Autism, we advocate for proactive measures to optimize familial habits and lifestyles for holistic well-being. From initiating healthy habit changes to addressing the impact of glyphosate and gluten consumption, we empower listeners to take charge of their health journey.
Amidst the overwhelming journey of diagnosis, we provide solace and guidance, debunking the myth of quick-fix solutions and emphasizing the importance of addressing nutrient deficiencies and exploring natural alternatives for symptom management.
Furthermore, we shed light on resources such as the Medical Academy of Pediatric Specialists (MED MAPS) and therapeutic options tailored to individuals with ADHD/Autism diagnoses. From supplements to herbal support, we navigate the spectrum of possibilities, equipping listeners with the knowledge and tools to embark on a path of healing and empowerment.
Join us as we navigate the complexities of ADHD and Autism spectrum disorders, bridging the gap between genetics, environment, and lifestyle to foster a community of understanding, support, and informed decision-making.
