Autism Action Month!
April is Autism Awareness Month/ Autism Action Month, so let’s take action to reverse the astronomical rate of 1 in 36 being diagnosed.
When my son was diagnosed in 2001, the rate of autism was 1 in 150, so it has climbed 317%.
Back in 1970, the rate was 1 in 10,000!
Even though I’m focusing on autism, it’s not the only childhood disorder that’s increasing- obesity, ADD, depression, diabetes, and asthma are as well just to name a few.
Why! Why are we seeing such an epidemic rise in these conditions?
We know that there hasn’t been a dramatic genetic shift.
Conditions such as autism stem from metabolic dysfunction.
So, what’s causing this metabolic dysfunction resulting in disease?
Let’s think about some of the changes since 1970 that could cause metabolic dysfunction leading to the meteoric rise in autism.
· Increase in environmental toxins such as heavy metals, BPA, and glyphosate
· Increase in ultra-processed and fast-food consumption
· Increase in vaccinations
· Increase in pharmaceuticals prescribed and over-the-counter use
· Increase in technology with more EMF exposure
· Increase in nutrient-depleted soil
There are other factors like infections, inflammation, gut microbiome disruption, and hormonal imbalances that also play a role.
For each child, there’s a unique set of circumstances that led them on their journey.
I am so passionate about helping families reverse autism.
I have been working with kids with autism since my son’s diagnosis, continue to learn new things every day, and am amazed by what warriors our kids and their families are.
I get what families with autism are going through from the lens of being a parent, health coach and physician.
When I started the Autism Healing Program last year, I didn’t know exactly how it would go, but my plan was to guide and support families in every capacity to help them reach their health goals.
I’m proud to report the great results that we’ve seen.
Throughout autism awareness month of April, I’m offering a free 60-minute session to discuss how we can work on your child’s healing.
I also work with children and adults with various metabolic disorders including ADD/ADHD, depression, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders.
So, this offer is being extended to anyone who may need guidance and support to reach their health goals.
One free 60-minute session is available per family to be booked by the end of April.
