Microbiome Modulation: Not your Average Gut Protocol
Many functional doctors and practitioners treating autism may utilize antibiotics, including strong antimicrobial herbs, with the goal of eradicating dysbiosis or chronic infections. While this can bring temporary relief, it may lead to long term collateral damage to the microbiome, as beneficial microbes like Bifidobacteria are particularly sensitive to antimicrobials. Our protocols are designed to gently target harmful bacteria while regrowing the body's own beneficial bacteria, and addressing the complex relationship between the microbiome and cognitive function/behavior. By focusing on precision supplementation, microbial diversity, and supporting underlying pathophysiologies, we empower families to build a foundation for improved communication, behavior, and overall wellness for children with moderate to severe autism.
Gut issues in children with autism aren't always obvious, but addressing them can be a game changer.
The Gut-Brain Connection
Common struggles include:
-
Sleep
-
Irritability and meltdowns
-
Aggression and self-injurious behavior
-
Developmental delays
-
Allergies and food sensitivities
-
PANS/PANDAS
-
Gut dysbiosis after antibiotics
-
Hyperactivitiy and dysregulation
-
Awareness and communication
94% of surveyed families participating in this gut balancing program have reported improvements in one or more of these areas.
While healthy eating is encouraged, Gut Balancing does not have any particular dietary requirements. This makes it a compatible add-on to other biomedical efforts and supplementation, provided that those supplements would not interfere with the microbiome. To get guidance on diet, consider adding on mineral balancing, as this comes with dietary recommendations for balancing the body's oxidation rate.
From constant chaos to peace and progress
Our Story
When my son was diagnosed with level 3 autism at the age of 3, I thought I knew just what to do. We went to a functional doctor, we did gut protocols (at least 3 different ones), all sorts of supplements, nutrition, diet, detox sprays, all the therapy we could get, and even several medications—yet results remained limited. Right when I was about to give up and quit everything because we were struggling more than ever, I found gut balancing. This was not just another gut healing protocol. It was the first biomedical intervention that actually worked for us. In fact, it was a key part of putting my son's PANS into remission.

Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Gut Balancing Practitioner
I earned my certificate in functional nutritional therapy from the Nutritional Therapy Association before having kids, but I am foremost a mom who has spent countless hours researching ways to help my son. I know how difficult things can get with our kids and therefore the need for feasible, realistic solutions. Having been involved in the natural and alternative health sphere for 9 years, I know the solutions offered can be at times overwhelming and burdensome. But through years of trial-and-error I have learned that the most effective methods are not necessarily the most complex.
