Environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle strategies backed by research for children on the spectrum
Autism Spectrum Disorder is defined by differences in social communication, restricted interests, and sensory processing. But the science reveals that many of the most disabling features of ASD, including GI distress, sleep disruption, and behavioral rigidity, are modifiable through environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions. This module synthesizes the research on the gut-brain axis, prenatal environmental exposures, dietary interventions, exercise, and sleep optimization to help you build a comprehensive support protocol. Every claim is cited to peer-reviewed research.
