Greer McGuinness: Biomedical Healing for Autism

In this episode, I sit down with Greer McGuinness to talk about what happens when a parent refuses to accept “there’s nothing more we can do”.Greer shares her personal journey as a mother of a child diagnosed with autism at the age of two, the limitations she encountered in conventional medicine, and the turning point that led her back to university to study health science. Drawing on 15 years in the medical field, she explains how functional and integrative medicine shaped her approach to supporting children by addressing root causes rather than managing symptoms.We discuss the real-world changes she witnessed in her own son through holistic and alternative therapies, and how those experiences led her to found Biomedical Healing for Kids. Greer also outlines how she works with families today, designing evidence-based, personalised strategies to support children with complex health needs.This conversation is honest, practical, and grounded in lived experience – offering insight, hope, and a broader way of thinking about health, healing, and advocacy for children and their families.
