Food is not the sum total of its macronutrients. In fact, some biologists think it is appropriate to think of food as behaving as a hormone in our body.  We look at 5 examples to peek at dramatic changes in health and behavior from simply changing food habits. This is the introductory podcast to this series on using food and nutrition to impact behavior, physiology and biochemistry, especially in children.  To take a deep dive into nutrition and learning supports for Autism, check out this short actionable ebook on <a href="https://functionalnutritionforkids.com/autismsupports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Autism Supports that Work!</a> Disclaimer: The information in this Podcast is for educational purposes only.

Food as Medicine

Where we raise the bar on Education for children with a disability.

Educating a child with a disability isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're a parent or educator who refuses to give up on your child's potential, you're in the right place.

Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy [mom to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome], this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child's learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or arbitrary busy work.

Together we explore how to:

- Break learning barriers so your child with Autism / Down Syndrome / ADHD can learn complex Math and Science

- Make teaching and learning at home a flow state

- Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools

- Use Non Linear Education strategies to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could

Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again: in your child, and in yourself.
