03/22/23 • 48 min

It's not just autism parenting causing extreme stress, angry outbursts, anxiety and mood swings. It's genetic. It's biochemical, and it's something that you have in common with your autistic child.
This podcast episode covers the hidden link between pyrrole disorder, zinc deficiency and copper toxicity, which cause many mental health problems for children and parents in autism families.
These imbalances are more common in people of Scandinavian, Irish, and English descent (which includes many American/Canadian families as well.)
Don't miss this conversation between Ninka-Bernadette Mauristson and Hilde Lorentzen about stress intolerance, anger, rage, mood swings, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, eating disorders, addiction, night terror, gut - and blood sugar imbalances and how to deal with it from a nutritional standpoint.

#140 AUTISM MOM DOCUMENTARY: HOW ASHLEY HEALED HER SON AND HER BODY

This podcast episode is a mini-documentary with secret audio messages between Ashley and me (from when she was broken) and a "behind the scenes" look at her journey the past year (in real time, audio, video and private photos.)
Ashley took photos and I kept all the evidence from when things were really hard as Ashley went through the Autism Turnaround Program with me and this gives you a rare and unique look into the effort she put into it.

Ashley's son's eyes glazed over one day and suddenly, he was "gone" into autism symptoms, tantrums, and meltdowns. He had dark circles under his eyes, he would be throwing things and hitting himself if things didn't go his way.
He had no interest in other humans or animals. Ashley and her husband were in denial. Ashley used food to escape (4000 calories per day) and switched between over-consumption and punishment (heavy exercise.
When they first heard that autism symptoms don't have to be for life, they tried Nemechek, gluten - and dairy-free diets. It had some effect. But it wasn't until Ashley started working on herself and her own healing that things started to shift for real.
Her son is now bonding with animals and other people and smiling. He makes eye contact and loves to touch and look at his family members (he hated it before.)
Ashley lost 27 pounds in 2 months without dieting. She stopped stressing, over-performing and feeling numb, and her son is behaving more and more like a typical 4-year-old.

#142 HOW AUTISM MOMS LOSE WEIGHT AND STOP CRAVINGS, STRESS AND ANXIETY.

Sun, spring and summer are moments of truth when you're an autism mom.
Most people are fasting, cutting calories and exercising like crazy to burn off the evidence of Christmas, Easter and long, dark days indoors.
But you're NOT like most people.

I get it. It's frustrating when your mood, sleep, energy and appetite are all over the place. It sucks when jeans suddenly don't fit anymore and when we look pregnant. I understand every inch of temptation to DO SOMETHING DRASTIC. But I am here to tell you that the more drastic you go right now to fix that problem, the worse the problem is going to get.
The strategies you used when you were younger or even before autism does NOT work anymore.
Your nervous system is in pieces. Your hormones are all over the place because you've been living in stress, fight/flight and worry for way too long.
Your body does not feel safe, and adding MORE stress into the mix (aka fasting, cardio, calorie counting, skipping breakfast, will have a horrible long-term effect on your weight (you will gain more), metabolism (it will slow down even more) and your hormones (permanent stress, survival, break-down mode.)
So what do we do instead? How do we lose weight, tone up, and stabilize mood, anxiety and depression while turning autism symptoms around, getting stronger with kindness and biochemical/biologically safe approaches?

That's what I'm covering in today's solo episode. I am also sharing a little life update (what's going on in our life, with that tiny home, my Jesus journey...you're about to find out.
