Summit Host: Julie Matthews, CNC
Certified Nutrition Consultant and Educator

Since 2002, Julie Matthews is a leading expert in the science and application of therapeutic diets and nutrition for autism, adhd, and related childhood disorders. Her award winning book, Nourishing Hope for Autism, guides parents and practitioners to make food and nutrition choices that improve symptoms, and Julie is co-author of "gold standard" scientific research that substantiates her approach.
She founded Nourishing Hope and BioIndividual Nutrition Institute to further the practice of customized diet and nutrition. Read Julie's bio..

Do you wonder if foods are affecting your child?
Do you worry about your child's nutrition?

You are not alone. Two-thirds of parents worry about their child's nutrition. And for understandable reasons: Poor nutrition can have long term ramifications.

Most children with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and neurodevelopmental disorders suffer physical health issues, as well as neurological symptoms (learning and behavior) related to what they eat.

Because the body and brain are connected, as a parent, you can positively influence childhood disorders by making very strategic diet and nutrition choices.

The Scientific Evidence Linking Nutrition and Autism Improvement
by James Adams, PhD

We will discuss the scientific studies supporting a diet and nutrition approach to autism. We will share the research on nutrient deficiencies and what happens when you replenish them, the microbiome and the benefits seen when balancing it, and food reactions and the improvements seen with special diets. This talk is for every parent that was told by their doctor that there is no research on diet for autism… hint, they are wrong.

What to Know About Methylation to Help Your Kid
by Ben Lynch, ND

Methylation affects neurotransmitter activity, allergy response, mitochondrial function, and many more processes, and is found to be impaired in autism.

Supplements 101: What you need to know
by Barry Smelter, PA

Does your child have food aversions? Are they turned off by the texture, smell, or even sight of a food?

Learn how you can address the underlying reasons for picky eating so your child can enjoy a more nutritious diet without the stress and struggle.

Oxalates, the Inflammasome, and Autoimmunity
by Susan Owens, MS

Oxalates have long known to create inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, as well as impair mitochondrial enzymes. More recently, it has been discovered that oxalate activates inflammasomes.

We will explore the research into oxalates and autism, as well as the interplay of inflammasomes and mitochondrial function.

We discuss how getting dirty through fresh food and time in nature can help with mitochondrial and neurological recovery.
