The Best Diet For Autism/ADHD

If you’re a parent of a child with special needs - including autism or even ADHD, then you’ll know how difficult it can be to help your child eat a healthy diet, while also seeing how bad the effects are on their behavior and health from poor eating habits.

So what should you do?

We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...

The combination of heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux together are one of the most common health issues in the world. This means they’re also one of the most commonly medicated groups of health issues. But, is the approach to treating acid reflux correct? Is it actually due to too much stomach acid, or is diet and lifestyle a bigger issue?
