| Speaker: Dr. Anju Usman of True Health Medical Center | |
| Children with ASD ( and their parents) are in a constant state of stress. This stress causes a particular arm of the autonomic nervous system to be turned on or activated. When chronically turned on, it can cause symptoms such as hyperactivity, anxiety, inattention and focus difficulties. A chronic fight or flight response to stress can also lead to medical issues such as impaired gastrointestinal motility, immune dysregulation, and hormonal imbalances. These issues can be identified and addressed with proper testing, good nutrition, targeted neutraceuticals, and adoptogenic herbs. | |
