In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paula Kruppstadt to talk about autism, child development, and why individualized care matters. We discuss how genetics, inflammation, mold exposure, food, sleep, and screen habits may affect the developing brain and body. Dr. Kruppstadt also shares how her own health journey led her from traditional pediatrics into functional medicine and a deeper search for root causes.
