Use Food and Nutrition
to Improve ADHD & Autism
For Parents & Practitioners
To fully help autism (or related disorder), it’s important that you understand the connections between what goes into the body and how it functions.
Autism is a whole body disorder, wherein metabolic function (body) affects cognition and behavior (brain). Therefore, you can affect the severity of varied symptoms by giving strategic attention to diet and nutrition.
The process of nourishing hope is about using scientific research, practical knowledge, and individualized insight to apply the most supportive food and nutrition plan for each child or adult.
This book gets you on the hope path. You’ll learn which foods to avoid, which to add – and why! It even includes delicious and nutritious recipes.
