Many parents will ask, why doesn’t my pediatrician or my doctor or my neurologist know this? Well, why most doctors don’t catch what we, the certified autism health coaches, do? It’s not because they don’t care. It’s that they’re not trained to look at the root causes.

Why most doctors don’t understand or have the knowledge of what we do? We, the certified autism health coaches that have gone through the Total Wellness Empowerment Institute learning the functional medicine approach using biomedical and nutritional intervention. It’s that they have only been trained to treat symptoms, not root causes. They typically do not think out of the box.

They do not run the specialized labs. Worse yet, they do not know how to interpret the specialized labs, and they do not know how to create personalized treatment plans. Again, it’s not because they don’t care. They weren’t taught.

Do you know that medical schools do not teach functional medicine? They do not teach getting to the root causes. Medical schools do not teach about nutraceuticals and food, but you can be empowered with the knowledge. You can register and become a certified autism health coach and differentiate your approach from conventional medicine.

And what we see, our certified autism health coaches get referrals from pediatricians, neurologists, therapists, and other doctors so they become your referral network. If you are ready to be the positive ripple effect in the betterment of the children diagnosed on the autism spectrum and for positive progress for their families, then we invite you to register today.

What’s the number one mistake parents make with diet changes? Many parents may start a diet on their own, and they haven’t done testing, but they heard that, oh, maybe a gluten free diet is good. But it’s not just gluten free that’s going to work without gut healing first. So if the child has something called a leaky gut condition, then the junctions of the gut lining are not tight and they’re spaced out so foods can pass through those junctions, and that’s a leaky gut.

And then if we don’t heal that by going gluten free, well, it’s not going to make the most progress. In addition, many families don’t go gluten free one hundred percent. They think, oh, it’s okay if a child goes to a party and they just get a little piece of pizza. They don’t realize what this does without a scientifically backed protocol.

So it’s not just going gluten free. It’s working on the health of the gut. It’s identifying where the imbalances are because every child is different. And it might not just be gluten free.

It may be dairy free as well. And not to go to soy or rice, but to go to foods that are going to work best and be most beneficial nutritionally for the child. And this is why diet only works when paired with gut healing. And gut healing starts when you identify the root causes of what is imbalanced in this child’s gut.

We are all uniquely made, and we have different vulnerabilities.

So it is not a one size fits all approach. If you wanna be empowered with the knowledge of the functional medicine method of biomedical and nutritional intervention, then we welcome you to register for the certified autism health coach training today, and you becoming the positive ripple effect in the betterment of the children diagnosed on the spectrum and their families.

What are the signs your child may have hidden inflammation? Does your child have eczema? Does your child have mood swings? Does your child get red ears?

It’s much more than skin deep. So let’s review the signs and what they mean functionally. Eczema is a sign of an autoimmune disorder that we can get tested on to determine the root causes because the gut immune system is scientifically proven.

Mood swings. Could it be that there’s not enough serotonin? Could it be that there are too many excitotoxins instead of the calming neurotransmitters?

Well, the gut manufactures most of the serotonin in our bodies. So if there’s inflammation or not enough beneficial bacteria in the gut, we can see mood swings, and that gut could cause neuroinflammation.

And what about those red ears? Many parents say that the child’s cheeks or ears turn red, and we always want to see if there’s a pattern. Did that child eat a food that is high in salicylates or histamines (tomatoes, bananas, corn). So that goes back to digestion and the gut, which is causing inflammation. The human body is very fascinating because it does send signs and signals, but we have to look at the root causes of these signs and signals to get true healing. And that’s what we teach in the certified autism health coach training program. So if you want to be empowered with the knowledge to make positive change for the children and the families diagnosed, then we welcome you to register today.

Let’s talk about why addressing the brain without the gut is a mistake. If you’re only doing speech therapy, ABA therapy, you’re missing fifty percent of the solution. The gut brain connection is scientifically proven. There are multiple research studies out there that shows a bidirectional link, bidirectional pathway of communication between the gut and the brain. And because of that, behavior focus learning is also impacted. You need to find out if there’s inflammation in the gut that’s causing neuroinflammation.

Is there a blockage in the gut that’s preventing serotonin to be produced and manufactured? Is there a pathogen in the gut that can be crossing the blood brain barrier? Is there an absorption problem in the gut that is not bringing the nutrients to the brain? So you always want to address the gut brain wellness of everyone, especially anyone diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder. We go deep into getting to the root cause in the certified autism health coach training. So if you want to be empowered with the knowledge about the gut brain connection and what you can do about this, then register today so you can be the ripple effect in the betterment of the children and the families.

What makes the Total Wellness Empowerment Institute’s program of the certified autism health coach different? Well, are you tired of one size fits all protocols? I was. What makes this method of functional medicine different is that it’s not about a supplement or a diet trend that you may see on TikTok or Instagram.

It’s about science-based testing, interpreting those tests with experience and building a phased in plan tailored to the child. Root cause work is deep, but it brings real breakthroughs and positive progress. If you want to learn more about the functional medicine approach using biomedical and nutritional intervention, then register today for the certified autism health coach training and be empowered with the knowledge for lasting change. Let’s be the ripple effect for the betterment of the children and their family.

What’s the number one mistake I see in autism detox protocols? Well, detoxification isn’t just about pulling toxins. It’s about where they go after you pull them. Because if the child’s lymphatic and gut system isn’t working and their bowels aren’t moving and they’re not having daily bowel movements, pulling toxins from their body can actually cause flare ups because those toxins recirculate instead of exiting the body. That’s why we teach the functional medicine approach, looking at the biomedical and nutritional intervention based on science and testing to make sure that we have the child able to support detoxification.

First, it’s to identify, are there mold or my cytotoxins, heavy metals, or pathogens, or candida, or parasites, or bacteria or clostridia. Then we look at with the testing, can this child detoxify? Do they have the right nutrients in their body to support this? How are their neurotransmitters?

What does the gut brain access look like? The communication, the gut adrenal, and the gut immune system. Because we don’t want any regression, we want progression. So detoxification that’s safe for sensitive kids. If you want to be empowered with the knowledge of how to do the right detoxification protocol for your child or for children you work with, then we welcome you to register for the certified autism health coach training today, and let’s be the ripple effect for the betterment of the children and their families.

From frustration to focus, this is the power of functional medicine method, adding in biomedical and nutritional intervention for children diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder. A mom came in with tears, bringing her child in for testing. And then we get the test results back, and the mom receives her customized protocol, and she starts to follow it.

Three weeks later, she had her first positive memory with her son. She had tried everything before, doing it on her own, looking at influences on TikTok and Instagram, but never getting tested, never following the actual functional medicine approach. And then once we saw her child’s labs, we found major imbalances, candida overgrowth and vitamin b depletion. So we targeted the gut.

We supported detoxification pathways. And within weeks, she saw improvements in focus, language, and sleep. Practitioners that have gone through the certified autism health coach program, when they start working with clients, they get the same results.

So if this resonates with you, the certified autism health coach training goes over exactly how to help families get positive results. We welcome you to register today because it could be the first step toward real hope, and we could be the ripple effect in the betterment of the children and their families.

What are the dietary concerns for a person diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder? Well, many children are picky eaters, and they have many aversions to food and textures, colors, or food groups. Many have gluten and dairy sensitivities.

So not full blown allergies, but sensitivities. And that’s why parents will try gluten free casein free diet. But if they go to the wrong foods like soy and other grains, it may not improve the gut health and behavior because the gut brain connection is scientifically proven that there’s a bidirectional communication pattern. Other dietary concerns are histamine and salicylate intolerance.

So some parents actually notice reactions to fermented foods, bananas, tomatoes, artificial dyes, and citric foods as well. And that could be because the child cannot break down salicylates or histamines. It’s just too much overload for their bodies. Blood sugar regulation is a common one where we see children diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder will experience mood swings, aggression, or even fatigue due to this imbalance of glycemic control.

And in supplements and diet interventions, parents often explore probiotics, certain digestive enzymes, omega threes, amino acids to support the child’s health. And this is why in the certified autism health coach training, we have a nutritional intervention approach based on functional medicine. So we could get to the root cause and parents could stop guessing, but they could start testing for the right markers and then receive a personalized supplement as well as nutraceutical plan to follow to get positive results. So if you are ready to be empowered with the knowledge and become a certified autism health coach, we invite you to register today and let’s be the ripple effect in the betterment of humanity for the children and their families.

What are the behavioral concerns of children and adults diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder? Meltdowns and tantrums, managing emotional outbursts, self-injurious behaviors or top concerns, communication delays or repeating what they’ve heard. Many parents worry about language development and if their child will learn how to communicate effectively, aggression and impulsivity, hitting, biting, or aggressive behaviors towards siblings, parents, or teachers, social skills and interaction. Because many times, the individual diagnosed on the autism spectrum disorder struggles with making friends and understanding social cues or playing cooperatively, Sensory processing issues because many are hypersensitive to noise, lights, textures, clothing tags, grass, sand.

And then others are seeking sensory input through spinning, jumping, or mouthing objects. Executive function deficits with trouble making transitions, following instructions, and organizing tasks. And many may have anxiety or rigid routines because they’re high anxiety, and they insist on strict routines that could lead to meltdowns when things change. And that’s why we look at the functional medicine approach to dealing with behavioral concerns.

We want to get to the root cause of these conditions and find out where the imbalances are in the body so we can support those imbalances with natural nutraceutical supplements and food protocols so we can get positive outcomes and results. If you wanna be empowered with this knowledge and become a certified autism health coach, then we invite you to register today and be the ripple effect in the betterment of the children and their families.
