Ep. 09 | Navigating Autism Recovery: A Mother's Journey of Hope and Healing through Nutrition

Brain Power with Dr. Eko

When Lori Knowles' son, Daniel, was diagnosed with autism, she found herself at a crossroads that many parents know all too well—the search for answers when the experts seem out of reach. Lori's relentless pursuit of knowledge led her to explore the uncharted terrain of biomedical treatments and dietary changes, which resulted in Daniel's extraordinary recovery. In our latest episode, we're honored to share Lori's empowering narrative, from the initial struggles of Daniel's diagnosis to the founding of New Beginnings Nutritionals, a beacon of hope for families seeking similar solace. Listen as Lori recounts the pivotal shifts in Daniel's health following the removal of gluten and dairy from his diet, and learn how carefully chosen nutritional supplements played an integral role in his journey to wellness.
For those grappling with the complexities of autism, especially the gastrointestinal battles that often accompany it, Lori provides a roadmap brimming with insights. Our discussion navigates the significance of high-dose B vitamins, digestive enzymes, and the customization of care plans for each child with autism. Lori's advice to parents centers on harnessing hope and the relentless pursuit of progress, no matter how incremental it may seem. Join us as we uncover the power of a mother's love, the resilience that turns research into recovery, and the heartfelt encouragement Lori extends to all who walk this path. Her expertise is not just a light at the end of the tunnel—it's a guide through the darkness, illuminating each step with practical, life-altering strategies.
