28. What If Autism Isn’t a Life Sentence? How This Dietitian Got Her Son Back

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your child’s autism diagnosis wasn’t just therapy hours, but healing their body from the inside out?In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with pediatric dietitian and holistic health trailblazer Greer McGuinness to unpack the journey that began with her own son’s autism diagnosis. We explore the biochemistry, environmental factors, and overlooked medical pieces that can influence autism symptoms, and how addressing them can unlock a child’s potential.Greer shares the integrative tools she’s used in her practice and her own home: biomedical testing, gut healing, detoxification, and nutrient optimization. We also talk about the roadblocks parents face in the conventional system, and why trusting your instincts as a parent might be your most valuable tool of all.If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of a diagnosis, this episode will show you there is always more you can do and that your child’s story is still being written.📚 Take a look at Greer’s guides and recommendations💻 Check out Greer’s free resources💌 Get in touch with Greer on Instagram @biomedicalhealingforkids---------------------If you're interested in my recommended sensory swing, visit outree.com and get a 24% discount with my code: MHM---------------------Reach out to me on Instagram @andrea.clark.mftFollow @truthaboutmentalhealthpodcast on InstagramFollow @truthaboutmentalhealth on TikTok
