Healing from the Inside Out: Cellular Health and Autism with Dr. Knight | Ep. 53

Brooke interviews Dr. Knight, founder of the Autism Wellness Center of Utah, about his path from pre-med studies and business into chiropractic care and then cellular/foundational medicine to better serve children on the autism spectrum. Influenced by early experiences with individuals with special needs and family connections to autism, he pursued extensive training in digestion, nervous system support, cellular healing, and safe detoxification, prioritizing courses that improve his ability to help autistic individuals. He explains cellular inflammation as a barrier to nutrient and hormone signaling and links stressors like toxins, chemicals, mold, infections, and emotional stress to impaired cellular function and regeneration. In practice he starts with dietary changes (avoiding seed/vegetable oils and food dyes), supports detox pathways (liver, kidneys, bowel regularity, lymph), and provides cellular and nervous system support. He describes Health Empowered Families, a remote five-month, four-phase program with weekly access, education videos, phased detox, mitochondrial and gut support, and a lab-informed but cost-conscious approach.00:00 Continuing Education Mindset00:48 Welcome and Guest Intro01:27 From Pre Med to Chiropractic05:33 Calling to Serve Autism08:56 Training in Detox and MAPS13:10 Cellular Healing Explained19:27 Practical First Steps at Home23:50 Virtual Program Overview30:27 Labs and Tracking Progress33:24 Handling Detox Speed Bumps35:25 Wrap Up and ResourcesConnect with Finding Hope on the Spectrum:www.findinghopeonthespectrum.comEmail: [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574918739411 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brooke-wagner-4819233a/ Instagram: @findinghopeonthespectrum TikTok: FindinghopeonthespectrumGuest Contact:https://autismwellnesscenter.org/
