Julie Matthews Shares Nourishing Hope Message for Autism

Parents deserve knowledge of every helpful option for children

Many children with autism exhibit demonstrable physical symptoms that go unaddressed due to a narrow focus of autism as a strictly psychiatric disorder. However, significant scientific data and overwhelming anecdotal analysis indicates a link between Autism symptoms and diet. Doing her part to spread autism awareness, Julie takes to the airwaves, Internet, and the leading biomedical autism conference venues to share the knowledge and inspiration of hope for autism.

Leading autism practitioners believe that diet is the most important place to begin biomedical autism intervention. As an international leading advocate of diet for autism, Julie is expanding her efforts to inform parents and healthcare practitioners about nutrition intervention. People should be fully informed about their options and the need for conscious attention to the nutritional requirements of these children.

In her presentation and interviews Julie explains the scientific rationale for specials diets, the gut-brain connection, foundations of a healthy diet, ASD diet options, and particulars on getting started and evolving special diets for children with ASDs. She is rich with personal insights that help support and encourage parents to try, and persist, with nutrition intervention.

Julie’s content and message conveys three strong themes:

• Autism is a whole body disorder – Common physiological symptoms, GI tract and brain are connected, body systems breakdown affect cognitive function and behavior.
• Food affects the health of body and brain– Digestion & biochemistry, brain is “downstream” from the body, nutrients required for brain function, common symptoms that can improve.
• Children’s health can be helped through Nutrition Intervention and Special Diets – Foundations of healthy diet, special diet options, providing essential nutrients, creative approaches for implementation.
