The Missing Piece: How Mineral Imbalances Impact Sensory Processing and Development in Children

For years as a nutritional therapist, I've watched parents struggle to find answers for their children with sensory processing challenges and developmental delays. They've tried occupational therapy, behavioral approaches, and countless interventions—all valuable pieces of the puzzle, but often missing a fundamental component: the biochemical foundation that influences how a child's sensory system functions and how they develop cognitively and physically.

Looking Beyond Behavior to Biochemistry

What I've discovered in my practice is that sensory processing and developmental delays aren't just about neural pathways—they're about the cellular environment those neural pathways exist in. When a child seems overwhelmed by tags in clothing, has trouble meeting physical milestones, struggles with language acquisition, or can't regulate their responses to the world around them, we need to ask: wh...

In recent years, we’ve learned so much about the microbiome and its impact on overall health. Our understanding of gut health has evolved dramatically, and with it, our approach to healing the gut. But what does it really mean to heal your gut? The answer lies in one simple truth: healing your gut means rebuilding your microbiome.

Microbes Matter More Than You Think

Our relationship with food and gut health has never been static. The way we eat and how food is produced has always evolved, driven by environmental changes, resources, and our ever-expanding understanding of what true health looks like. Yet, as humans, we cling to familiar patterns—especially when it comes to our health. We tend to defend our habits and resist change, even when they no longer serve us.

In the realm of gut health, this resistance often shows up in the form of rigid dietary protocols, q...

The Importance of Gut Health: Rethinking Our Approach

Many people, if not most, are experiencing some degree of gut dysbiosis or "leaky gut." This observation stems from both clinical experience and a growing body of research on the human microbiome, as well as insights from ancestral health practices.

Surprisingly, most individuals who come to me have not adequately addressed their gut health. They may believe they’ve tackled it—often claiming to have healed their guts by eliminating problem foods or following various protocols to address pathogens. However, there’s little evidence that they have truly repaired their gut or are consuming enough nutrients for their microbial health, particularly the essential carbohydrates, plants, and fibers.

What Does Gut Repair Mean?

When I refer to "gut repair," I’m primarily talking about restoring the ...
