About Our Guest:
Mike Koehler is a leader and active member of Parents Against Miralax. In 2010, his then 4-year-old son was treated for constipation and placed on the over-the-counter laxative, Miralax. Over the five years that followed, his doctors would recommend that he remain on Miralax to treat his constipation. In 2014 his son was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and started exhibiting PANDAS-like symptoms. His behavior was out of control, and their family was in a dark place, desperate for help. In February 2015, he joined the Facebook group Parents Against Miralax. It was there that he learned about naturopathic medicine. Mike and his wife found a naturopath in April 2015, and by May 2015, his son was on the path to better health and healing. Thankfully today, Mike’s son is doing really well. Mike has now made it his mission to warn other parents of the very real dangers of Polyethene Glycol.

We are delighted to have Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen with us today and we’re talking genomics.
An exciting and promising area of opportunity to better support your child that you don’t want to overlook.
And the first step is better understanding what’s now possible that wasn’t even a few years ago.

She co-foundered IntellxxDNA to fill an unmet need for an accurate, evidence-based genomics tool geared at helping functional and integrative physicians practice personalized medicine.
A tool that could 1) help identify ROOT CAUSES of autism, cognitive decline, environmentally acquired illness, and other chronic illnesses and 2) help clinicians know HOW to address these genomic factors.
The IntellxxDNA™ clinical decision support tool is now being used as part of medical decision-making by physicians across the country and it’s being used in studies addressing autism and complex illnesses in children as well as in adult studies geared at the reversal of cognitive decline.
There are literally hundreds of different nutrients, vitamins, and interventions out there that have evidence in the literature for improving outcomes in autism, OCD, ADHD, and anxiety. But, how do you the parent figure out without random trial and error what might be beneficial for YOUR child?
