The prevalence of autism has risen a shocking 400% in the last twenty years. Increased awareness and diagnosis are one piece, but there are also so many other factors to consider.
The hopeful news is that we’re seeing a shift paradigm in how we view and treat autism, with some truly amazing improvements possible. I’m thrilled to welcome Suzanne Goh, MD, a board-certified pediatric behavioral neurologist, behavioral analyst, neuroscience researcher, Rhodes scholar, and author.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Shaking things up around the autism paradigm
- The connection between the brain and mitochondria
- Can autism be reversed?
- The biggest mistake made in autism
- What creates the inflammatory fire in the autistic brain?
- The role of diet in autism treatment
- Functional tests for assessing brain function and how to best support kids with autism
- Mitochondrial dysfunction and autism
- "Magnificent Minds" – A book on autism by Suzanne Goh, MD
Using a whole-child approach and investigating the intricate connections between metabolism, mitochondrial function, and nutrition we can better understand what types of support autistic children need most.
