Autism isn’t just a brain condition — it’s a whole-body story. This free guide explores how gut health, mitochondria, immunity, toxins, and sleep affect children on the spectrum, and how parents can support their child’s daily function with functional medicine and ancestral strategies.

Why Look Beyond the Brain in Autism?
1 in 36 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. While genetics play a role, research shows that gut health, metabolism, sleep, detoxification, and immune function all shape how children feel, learn, and interact. Supporting autism from a functional medicine perspective means addressing these root systems — not just focusing on behavior.
Common Whole-Body Differences in Autism
Gut imbalances (constipation, reflux, bloating)
Neuroinflammation (immune activation in the brain)
Mitochondrial dysfunction (low energy production)
Sleep and circadian rhythm disruption
Environmental and nutritional triggers
