Summary

EP. 215 In this episode of Realfoodology, I sit down with registered dietitian Greer McGinnis, who specializes in autism, ADHD, and pediatrics. Greer shares her personal journey as a mother of a nonverbal child with autism and the effective strategies she used to help him find his voice. We explore the challenges parents face when navigating autism, the importance of nutrition, and the concerning issue of glyphosate exposure in children. This conversation is packed with valuable insights and practical tips that I think will really resonate with families facing similar situations.

0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.
0:02.4	So when you understand that like a ritz cracker from 1940 will taste the exact same as it does today
0:08.4	because it doesn't change. When you have things that constantly change taste, it will throw
0:13.6	off a kid who loves structure, who loves, you know, things just being repetitious as well.
0:20.1	Hello, friends.
0:21.0	Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast.
0:24.6	I'm your host Courtney Swant, and today's guest is Greer McGinnis.
0:28.1	She's a registered dietitian who specializes in autism, ADHD, and pediatrics.
0:33.7	She is a wealth of knowledge, and we talk a lot about autism.
0:39.1	She actually tells the story of her own son who has autism and things that she did to help him become verbal because he was nonverbal as a kid at a very young age.
0:48.7	And she goes over some of the stuff that she did with her own child.
0:51.8	And she talks a lot about what she does to help parents
0:54.6	of kiddos who are on the spectrum. It was a jam-packed informative episode. I really enjoyed this
1:01.1	a lot. And then we also talked a lot about glyphosate and what she's seeing in her practice
1:05.0	with the kiddos that she's testing for glyphosate. And it's pretty, I mean, it's disheartening, but it's also empowering to know
1:12.8	that there's a lot that we can do, you know, and information is power. And once we know better,
1:18.0	we do better. So I really enjoyed this conversation. I think you're going to get a lot out of it.
1:22.4	It was really interesting to hear what she's been seeing in her own practice. And I think this episode is going
1:28.3	to help a lot of people. So I really hope that you enjoy the episode. If you could take a moment
1:32.0	to rate and review, it means so much to me. And if you could also go to a real foodology podcast
1:36.6	on Instagram and go follow it, we were posting videos there that you were only going to see there.
1:40.5	And then, of course, if you're enjoying the episode and you want to tag me at Real
