How Metabolic Disorders Can Give Rise To Autism Symptoms

1/30/2023

0 Comments

 
     The metabolic system includes our thyroid, adrenal glands, liver functions, and more. With metabolic disorders, we see disruption of the normal biochemical processes that allow us to grow, repair damage to our body, and respond to our environment – processes that sustain life and the normal functions of our body.

     Every core symptom of autism can be potentially traced back to metabolic disorders. These disorders can be the underlying cause for symptoms we typically associate with autism, including difficulty focusing and paying attention, trouble with communication, tantrums, meltdowns, and aggressive behavior. When we treat the medical issues stemming from metabolic problems, autism symptoms improve, sometimes dramatically.

     In this important Live event, Dr. Taketa-Wong explains the medical symptoms related to problems with the thyroid, adrenal glands, liver detox, methylation (detox pathways), mitochondrial imbalances, and oxidative stress. She also reveals how those medical issues can often give rise to autism symptoms. While this event doesn't have the time to dig into all the details, Dr. Taketa-Wong does provide an overview of how she goes about treating the medical symptoms of metabolic disorders and what effect that has on autism symptoms. In a nutshell, the symptoms of autism are connected to medical problems. As those medical problems are resolved, children with autism typically function much more normally.

How Natural Medicine Can Improve Mood And Reduce Anxiety

     Anxiety is a very common condition, with about 31% of adults in America experiencing it at some time in their lives. Pharmaceutical drugs often come with unwanted side effects and are potentially harmful in the long term. But there are natural approaches that can be very effective in treating the underlying causes of anxiety and restoring one’s sense of calm and control.

     Anxiety can impact thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can interfere with people’s everyday lives and make it difficult to do the activities they want to do. Some common symptoms of anxiety include stress that's out of proportion to the event, an inability to set aside worries, ongoing irritability, feeling restless, sleep problems, and more.

     It’s important to always remember that the body is a single organism, so everything is connected to and affects everything else. For example, problems with the gut bacteria can affect the neurotransmitters in the brain that can alter moods. Likewise with hormone imbalances, along with yeast overgrowth in the gut and stress.
