Autism Is More Than Behavior: A Functional Medicine Perspective 

In this episode, we explore a functional medicine approach to autism with Dr. Paula Kruppstadt. We discuss why autism is more than a behavioral diagnosis, how gut health, inflammation, detoxification, genetics, environmental toxins, and nutrition can influence neurodevelopment, and why parents deserve a deeper look beneath the surface. This conversation offers hope, clarity, and practical next steps for families seeking root-cause support.- - - - - About the Guest:Dr. Paula Kruppstadt is a board-certified pediatrician, IFM Certified Practitioner, and founder of Hope for Healing.
