In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Sam Shay, a recognized clinician who proudly shares his own experience as someone who grew up with undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome.
Dr. Shay’s mission is to support moms trying to balance raising a “neurodistinct” child with their work, other children, relationships, and staying healthy themselves. He sees these parents as being overlooked and uncared for, and his work is to bring them the tools they need to thrive along with their families.

0:00.0 | Hey, this is Ari. Welcome to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. |
0:11.7 | Sam Shea, who specializes in helping moms of neurodiverse, neurodistinct children to reclaim their health and their energy and to |
0:24.2 | make the lives of their children and their whole family better. I want to say that even if |
0:32.0 | you don't necessarily identify or connect with the idea of having neurodistinct children. |
0:40.3 | You know, I, for example, have two young children ages eight and five who I wouldn't |
0:48.3 | identify as being neurodiverse or neurodistinct. |
0:51.3 | But even for me, I found Dr. Shea's insights to be extremely valuable. |
0:58.1 | And I think that if you open your mind, especially if you're a parent, he's also targeting |
1:03.1 | moms. I'm, of course, not a mom. But I think for parents more broadly in general, I don't know if you necessarily will get a lot of |
1:15.2 | value from this podcast if you're not a parent. But actually, now that I think about it, |
1:21.5 | think back to the conversation, you might. There might be some stuff in here that that you |
1:26.3 | might get some insights from, but especially |
1:29.1 | for parents, I think that there's a lot of really valuable insights that you can glean from this. |
1:36.3 | And if you are a parent of a neurodistinct child, I think in particular, you're going to get a lot |
1:43.0 | of value from this discussion, |
1:44.2 | and I highly encourage you to check out Dr. Sam's work more broadly. And he's got a really |
1:52.2 | interesting story. I won't tell it here. I'll let him tell his background story. But I do |
1:58.4 | want to mention one part of his story, which he doesn't say at the |
2:02.9 | beginning, which is that he's also a stand-up comic using humor to educate and entertain on topics |
2:08.8 | like functional health and life with Asperger's. And he's recently released his one-hour |
2:14.6 | comedy show, Neurospicy, Love, Life and life and comedy on the spectrum which i'm excited |
2:21.3 | to check out i haven't seen yet but it sounds cool and after having this conversation with him |
