The Role of Diet in Autism (SHOCKING)


Listen Later

In this insightful episode, we explore the connection between diet and autism, and how the food we eat can play a significant role in managing autistic traits and overall well-being. Dan—who lives with autism, ADHD, and OCD—shares his personal experience and research into how dietary choices can impact gut health, sensory issues, and gastrointestinal discomfort, which are common challenges for many on the autism spectrum.

We unpack the science behind the autism and gut connection, discuss selective eating, and look at best practices for finding foods that support both comfort and energy levels. Whether you’re autistic or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical, easy-to-follow advice on navigating autism-friendly nutrition.

🎯 Topics Covered:

  • How diet can affect autistic sensory sensitivities and digestion

  • Understanding autistic metabolism and unique dietary needs

  • Tips for managing selective eating and food aversions

  • Best practices for creating a gut-friendly, supportive food plan

  • Why no one-size-fits-all diet exists for autism—and how to personalize your approach

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of autism, health, and nutrition, especially for autistic adults seeking relief from food-related discomfort or low energy.
