Welcome to The Brain Development Podcast

Are you a parent navigating the challenges of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, OCD, or other neurodiverse conditions with your child? You're not alone — and you're in the right place.

Welcome to The Brain Development Podcast, where we empower parents with knowledge, tools, and hope to help their children thrive.

Hosted by Lara Barnes — a successful tech professional turned functional neurology advocate — this show is inspired by her own journey helping her son overcome learning, behavioural, and speech difficulties. Lara discovered how to support his brain development by building the foundations of the left brain, and now she’s sharing what truly works.

In this podcast, you’ll discover:

How brain development affects behaviour and learning

Insights into the gut-brain connection, microbiome, and nutrition

The role of primitive reflexes, the nervous system, and sensory systems

Real-life success stories from parents and expert interviews

Practical tips on supplements, lab testing, photobiomodulation, and more

Subscribe now and join us on the journey to building brighter brains and helping your child shine.
