Child Anxiety, Autism, ADHD & Diet With Dr Nicole Beurkens - Ep 53

#ADHD #anxiety #autism

Dr Nicole Beurkens is known as one of the only clinical psychologists in the world with advanced degrees in nutrition and special education who has spent over 20 years helping families identify the root of their children's behavior, attention, anxiety, or mood disorders - sometimes where other specialists have failed - using lifestyle solutions before medication.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She's also a mother-of-four, an award-winning therapist, a published researcher, international consultant, author of two books - and somehow still has time to lead a team of clinicians at her treatment center in Michigan.

After learning about Dr Beurkens' integrative work, I was really keen to interview her on #healthHackers. When I was teenager, at least two practitioners linked my debilitating #anxiety to fluctuating blood sugar levels. It resulted in a major dietary shift for me (and my family). At the time, we knew barely anything about possible associations between food and #brain health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In episode 53, Dr Beurkens shares her insights on:

🔹the rising number of childhood disorders
🔹why more than half a million under-5s are prescribed psychiatric drugs every year in the US
🔹why she looks for the root cause before prescribing medication
🔹nutrition solutions for improved child behavior
🔹the vitamin deficiencies that can affect behavior
🔹the real problem found to be affecting 40% of children diagnosed with ADHD
🔹the impact of the gut microbiome on child mental health
🔹diet changes with the most success in her ADHD and autism patients
🔹when placebo pills have been found to work better than psychiatric medication
🔹the problem with disorder labels and misdiagnosis
🔹what is pandemic-life doing to children's emotional and behavioral health?
🔹how your reaction to the COVID-19 crisis affects your child's behavior
🔹and - how Dr Beurkens limits her children's screen time (without an argument!)
