Gluten is bad for children with autism. Today we're making it EASY to break up with gluten AND come up with reasons why and delicious cakes, crackers, and bread. Did you know that gluten is addictive? For children with autism - gluten (and dairy ) acts like drugs/alcohol in the body (that's why they act "drunk" or agitated sometimes. ) That's not all.  Gluten can cause problems with methylation (cause problems with neurotransmitters, detoxification, gene expression, enzyme production, and...

Sun, spring and summer are moments of truth when you're an autism mom.  Most people are fasting, cutting calories and exercising like crazy to burn off the evidence of Christmas, Easter and long, dark days indoors.  But you're NOT like most people. I get it.  It's frustrating when your mood, sleep, energy and appetite are all over the place. It sucks when jeans suddenly don't fit anymore and when we look pregnant. I understand every inch of temptation to DO SOMETHING DRASTIC. But I am here...

It's not just autism parenting causing extreme stress, angry outbursts, anxiety and mood swings. It's genetic. It's biochemical, and it's something that you have in common with your autistic child.  This podcast episode covers the hidden link between pyrrole disorder, zinc deficiency and copper toxicity, which cause many mental health problems for children and parents in autism families.  These imbalances are more common in people of Scandinavian, Irish, and English descent (which includes...

This podcast episode is a mini-documentary with secret audio messages between Ashley and me (from when she was broken) and a "behind the scenes" look at her journey the past year (in real time, audio, video and private photos.)  Ashley took photos and I kept all the evidence from when things were really hard as Ashley went through the Autism Turnaround Program with me and this gives you a rare and unique look into the effort she put into it.  Ashley's son's eyes glazed over one day and...

Yvonne's autism turnaround testimonial is the most powerful transformation I've ever witnessed.  Her son had all the most severe symptoms of autism:  He couldn't speak. He had aggressive tantrums, hitting his mom and screaming in the store. He would run away (to London). He had echolalia.  ABA helped a bit - but no long-lasting results.  Now he's not only speaking - he's very sophisticated in his learning and communication skills. In her own words, she had A LOT of work to do to change...

In this interview with Dr. Rachel Haman: Why crooked teeth, tongue position, narrow palates, and facial features are crucial signs that can't be ignored (or untreated). The real reason why children have sensory issues and how to change it via the nervous system (and oxygen.) Why is sensory seeking behaviour caused by stress in the womb, during birth, or in the first two years of development?  How stimming starts in the nervous system, and it's a sign of stress in the nervous system. It...

An eyewitness story from my mom. I knew I had to interview my mom for the Barefoot Autism Warriors Podcast when she recently revealed details about my son's horrible symptoms and miraculous recovery that I'd blocked out (due to autism mom stress.) In this podcast episode, my mom and I share: My mom's memory of the horrible predictions that doctors gave us for our son and the things we did instead of accepting their suggestion: "Give up on him."  Those were the steps that ended up turning...

When I met Mandy - she was desperate. Her son's stimming, anaphylactic allergies, family conflicts + her health and fear of recurring cancer,  stress, trauma, and marriage problems had her in pieces.  And here we are - a few months later. And Mandy has changed her son's symptoms, marriage, and life in a way that neither she nor I thought possible. How? By following some simple steps that she shares in this podcast episode/Youtube video. 

Imagine thinking that you're paying big bucks for homoeopathic drops or hiring an alternative (or holistic) healer to help your child - and (unknowingly)  you're allowing dark spirits to access your child, manipulate and destroy your family (or your body) in exchange for initial healing.  Would you like to know, or would you hold on to your beliefs instead? The truth might cost you money, friends and acknowledgement. I lost almost everything in that exchange, but I am so grateful for the...

If your're not seeing  improvement in your child's autism symptoms like tantrums, aggression, rigidity, nonverbal autism, stimming, eloping etc - you need to change your approach to autism diets. Going gluten/dairy free can bring more symptoms and long term consequences if you're not doing it right. Restrictive diets - including low oxalate, candida diets, keto, vegan, Nemechek, gaps, paleo, carnivore or other restrictive diets can do harm long term even though they can help initially (and...

This podcast episode about an unusual autism recovery journey and an extraordinary mom is not a clear-cut "before - and after" story.  If you're curious about what it feels like when you're halfway into the autism recovery, what it takes, how long it takes, and what you need to do (and stop doing) to see lasting results, then this podcast episode is IT. You'll get a rare glimpse into the life of a family who is still collecting pieces for the autism recovery journey and the patience,...

My son is sharing his version of this vulnerable truth as a bonus at the end of this podcast episode. We're talking about gluten. We're talking about how addictive, and destructive gluten is, and that is exactly why my son sometimes can't resist it (despite the consequences). In this revealing podcast episode, you'll learn things about us and gluten that you didn't know. I feel called to share this (even though I don't want to) because: Gluten addiction is caused by an opioid effect,...

Part 1 in the docu-series: GOING OF GRID WITH MY FAMILY  the barefoot autism warrior's founder shares how her dream miraculously came true after almost giving up on it... She shares how she: Desperately looked for vans, tiny homes, land and houses all over the world without finding anything she could afford as a single autism mom with a recovered son but no pension or financial backup plan. How a dramatic break-up ignited an old dream of creating a retreat in nature with an outdoor sauna,...

This therapeutic sauna protocol and this same system were what we used in our son's recovery process. We got it after his diagnosis when he had daily tantrums, eloping, aggressive fits, ritualistic behaviour and suffering with night terror, sensory issues, gut problems. He was in it daily (so were we) for years. I am convinced it helped his recovery process. In 2021, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a mastectomy and researched the best medical therapeutics for recovery - I...

Before you send your child to school - listen to this podcast interview with expert home educator Kiki from "Kiki and the Wildlings" in England. I was crying during this interview. I WISH I'd met her when my children were younger.  I, like most people, failed as a mainstream school mom, as a homeschooler and I hated special needs education.. both mainstream school parenting, and home education. You don't have to.  Instead of trying to fit your child into a box that is claustrophobic and...

Here's a crazy real-life example that will make you question the screening and tests like DSM-5 and ADOS. What would you do if someone locked up to your child because of a diagnosis that shouldn't ever have been given? Horrific, right. Get this... If a diabetic has severe hypoglycemia - that person looks like a drunk. In some instances - diabetics have been arrested because of "drunk" behaviour caused by hypoglycemia. If that person isn't examined by someone who knows about diabetes and the...
