The prevalence of autism has risen a shocking 400% in the last twenty years. Increased awareness and diagnosis are one piece, but there are also so many other factors to consider. The hopeful news is that we’re seeing a shift paradigm in how we view and treat autism, with some truly amazing improvements possible. I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Suzanna Goh, a board-certified pediatric behavioral neurologist, behavioral analyst, neuroscience researcher, Rhodes scholar, and author.

In this episode, we discuss:

Shaking things up around the autism paradigm (1:57)
The connection between the brain and mitochondria (6:04)
Can autism be reversed? (7:00)
The biggest mistake made in autism (10:10)
What creates the inflammatory fire in the autistic brain? (15:20)
The role of diet in autism treatment (19:17)
Functional tests for assessing brain function and how to best support kids with autism (26:30)
Mitochondrial dysfunction and autism (28:30)
"Magnificent Minds" - A book on autism by Dr. Suzanne Goh (34:57)

Using a whole-child approach and investigating the intricate connections between metabolism, mitochondrial function, and nutrition we can better understand what types of support autistic children need most. I hope you’ll listen in to learn more.
