In this episode, I walk you through how to approach autism lab testing without feeling overwhelmed. I explain how we use precision genetics to guide decisions and break down the most important baseline labs, from cholesterol and nutrients to thyroid and gut health. Instead of doing everything at once, I share how to prioritize and layer testing so you can take meaningful, manageable steps toward healing.

In this episode, I sit down with Cristina Greenfield to uncover how her daughter’s autism diagnosis led to a deeper investigation into environmental root causes. We explore how toxic mold, inflammation, and genetics can impact development, behavior, and overall health. Cristina shares their journey of leaving their home, rebuilding their environment, and witnessing remarkable improvements, offering hope and direction for families s...

In this episode, I sit down with mold remediation expert John Bohde to explore how mold, mycotoxins, and moisture-affected homes can influence neurological health, especially for children with autism. We break down how hidden environmental exposures occur, why proper testing is critical, and what families should know about remediation. Most importantly, we talk about hope—because identifying the root cause inside the home can help ...

In this episode, I'm joined by Kathrine Salah, CNC, as we continue our autism series by layering in autophagy and detoxification support. We explore why some children become "hangry," how impaired glucose delivery disrupts cellular energy, and how D-chiroinositol can restore balance. We also unpack glutathione, NAC, histamine sensitivity, and how supporting detox pathways can improve mood, focus, sleep, and even speec...

In this episode, I sit down with Piper Gibson, PhD, to unpack the root causes of Tourette’s and tic disorders. We explore neural inflammation, genomics, gluten and dairy sensitivities, infections like PANS/PANDAS, and how gut health shapes brain function. Piper shares her personal journey as a mom and explains how identifying genetic “on” and “off” switches can help calm runaway inflammation and restore hope for families.

In this episode, I sit down again with Kathrine Salah to explore how inflammation and genetics shape autism. We break down the role of microglia, the endocannabinoid system, and immune overactivation—and share practical tools like PEA, high-dose fish oil, vitamin D3 with K2, and CBD modulation. Most importantly, we discuss how precision genetics gives families clarity, hope, and a roadmap for calming the brain and supporting whole-...

In this episode, I’m joined by Kathrine Salah, CNC, to talk directly to parents facing the shock and fear that often follow an autism diagnosis. We explore what to do first, what not to rush into, and how nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle factors may support a child’s development.

In this episode, I explore how environmental toxins—especially those found in water-damaged buildings—can trigger brain fog, fatigue, and focus issues. We discuss why the brain is so vulnerable to inflammatory toxins, why some people develop symptoms while others don’t, and how poor indoor air quality, mold, bacteria, and chemical exposures disrupt neurologic function. Most importantly, I share why these symptoms are real, measurab...

Discover why chronic fatigue isn’t just poor sleep—and how hydration, nutrition, hormones, and toxins affect your energy.

In this episode, I break down why feeling tired all the time isn’t normal—and why sleep alone doesn’t fix true fatigue. We explore how hydration, nutrition, mitochondria, hormones, blood sugar, infections, and environmental toxins all influence energy. I explain the red flags that signal deeper imbalances and...

Discover why migraines aren’t genetic and how inflammation, infections, hormones, and nutrient gaps can drive chronic migraine pain.

In this episode, I unpack why migraines are so often misunderstood and why they’re not something you simply have to live with. We explore how inflammation, blood flow issues, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, infections, and histamine overload can drive migraine pain. I also share practical, root-ca...
