What Is Functional Medicine for Autism?

Functional medicine for autism is a natural approach to health and wellbeing that addresses the root causes of behaviour, communication and cognitive abilities. Based on scientific research such as the CHARGE Study (Childhood Autism Risk from Genetics and Environment) we offer a 12-week programme that includes all the functional tests that you need to find out what biochemical imbalances may be triggering certain traits or behavours. Using our trademarked D.A.R.I.N.G. Approach to Healthcare we guide you on a path towards better physical and mental health for the whole family, not just the child who has ASD. Please watch the half hour video above for more inforamtion. Simone believes strongly that parental health is a vital foundational pillar that is often overlooked when their child has additional needs. On 1st January 2025 we will be launching our online community, Nourishing Neurodiversity, for parents and carers of children with additional needs.

There will be virtual chat rooms available in multiple languages to cater for different cultural needs.

Anyone who feels nothing can be done to alleviate a long term health problem , would benefit from Simone's assessment and knowledge...
