environmental toxicity

Attention, parents of picky eaters – this episode is for you.

Today, we talk about nutrition, specifically, how to ensure your child is getting the right carbs, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, not only for their overall health, but also their muscle and brain functioning.

Our guest in this episode is Dr. Jared Skowron, who has been working with children who have autism and ADHD for 20 years. He specializes in using natural, non-pharmaceutical therapies to impact healthy neurological development. These treatments support language development, sensory function, sleep, emotional stability, behavior, and memory.

He also authored the Amazon bestselling book, 100 Natural Remedies for Your Child: The Complete Guide to Safe, Effective Treatments for Childhood’s Most Common Ailments, from Allergies to Weight Loss.

We’ve known Dr. Skowron for a long time, and here, we talk about the effects our diets have on our bodies’ functioning, and how to make positive changes through different natural supplements – plus, when to seek naturopathic care. (Hint. It was probably yesterday!)

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• How kids with developmental delays often are picky eaters due to sensory processing issues –  which is complicated by the fact that these kids might also be on special diets
• The impact anxiety has on the foods children eat, and how to combat mood and anxiety issues through amino acid supplements – plus, which kind work best
• Testing whether environmental toxicity is affecting children, and the different methods of detox treatment, or detoxification
• Mitochondrial supplements (the big three) and the impact they have on the energy our muscles receive
• Improving sleep among kids (turn off the lights/electronics!) and how to use melatonin supplements if there are still issues
• Fish oil supplements, their components, their effects, and what to look out for
