• From Silence To “I Love You”: A Mom’s Story of Hope and Healing with Naturally Recovering Autism [Podcast Episode #231]

  Every parent of a child with autism knows the moments of doubt, frustration, and heartache. For one devoted mom, the journey began with silence—days and months where her son barely spoke, struggled to connect, and seemed trapped in his own world. Like many families, she searched tirelessly for answers, trying therapies and interventions that promised breakthroughs. But true, lasting progress remained out of reach—until she discovered the Naturally Recovering Autism Roadmap. A Roadmap to Real Recovery The Naturally Recovering Autism program gave her a clear, step-by-step plan designed to support her son’s body and brain in a holistic way. Instead of chasing quick fixes, she learned how to: Support gut health and reduce inflammation  Rebuild nutrient balance to fuel focus and communication Promote safe, natural detoxification Create predictable, supportive routines that encourage learning and connection Within months, she began noticing remarkable changes: small gestures became words, words became sentences, and eventually, the phrase every parent dreams of hearing: “I love you.” Hope, Healing, and Possibility This story is a powerful reminder that every child with autism has potential beyond what we often imagine. With the right guidance, patience, and tools, progress is not only possible—it can be transformative. The Naturally Recovering Autism Roadmap gave this family the framework to see real, lasting results—proving that recovery doesn’t always come from the most expensive or dramatic interventions, but from consistent, thoughtful support that addresses root causes...

• California Approves Independent Vaccine Guidelines Law As Multi State Alliances Emerge [Podcast Episode #230]

  California Passes Law Allowing State to Set Its Own Vaccine Guidance In a landmark move, California has passed a new law (AB 144, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 17, 2025) that gives the state authority to establish its own vaccine schedules and related policies — rather than being bound by federal guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Here’s a breakdown of what the law does, why it was enacted, and how it fits into a broader trend among U.S. states. Key Provisions of the Law Some of the main changes under AB 144: It establishes a baseline for vaccine coverage based on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations as of January 1, 2025. It authorizes the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to modify or supplement those baseline recommendations, using guidance from independent medical organizations (like the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, etc.). It requires that state-regulated insurance plans (including Medi-Cal) cover vaccines that the state health department endorses under its guidance — meaning no copays for many Californians under those plans for state-recommended vaccines. It gives CA authority to act more independently of federal advisory bodies when those are perceived by state leadership to be compromised or less trustworthy. Why This Law Was Enacted Several reasons motivated the push for this law: Concerns over federal changes: The law reflects growing concern in California (and some other states) that recent shifts at the federal level — including reconstitution of advisory panels, changes in vaccine eligibility criteria, and what state officials view as politicization of public health — have undermined trust in the CDC’s recommendations...

• Benefits Of A Late Autism Diagnosis: Self-Understanding and Support At Any Age [Podcast Episode #229]

  Instead of just focusing on the controversy or risks of misdiagnosis, you can pivot toward the benefits of finally having clarity through a late diagnosis, and then be empowered with actionable, natural strategies that align with what we do at Naturally Recovering Autism. The Benefits of a Late Autism Diagnosis Clarity & Self-Understanding Many people spend years confused about why social situations, sensory environments, or certain tasks feel harder for them than for others. A diagnosis provides a framework — “Oh, that’s why.”   This self-knowledge can reduce self-blame, shame, and anxiety. 2. Access to Resources & Support Even later in life, a diagnosis can open doors to support groups, therapies, accommodations in work or school, and tools for managing sensory overload or executive function. Parents of children diagnosed later can finally advocate more effectively for educational resources.   3. Direction for Healing & Growth Instead of trying random approaches, families (or adults themselves) can pursue strategies that actually match the needs of an autistic brain and body.   You can move from “what’s wrong with me?” to “here’s how my brain works, and here’s what helps.” Natural & Supportive Approaches for Autism  Once someone receives a diagnosis — whether at 5, 15, or 55 — the question becomes: What can I do now? Here are some natural interventions: Nutritional & Gut Health Support The gut-brain connection is well-documented. Late-diagnosed individuals may realize their digestive issues, food sensitivities, or chronic inflammation have been compounding their challenges. Approaches: gluten/dairy-free diets, probiotics, gut-healing protocols, anti-inflammatory nutrition. Get my free food guide at autismcheatsheet.com...

• Banned Pesticide Found in Popular Children’s Cereals [Podcast Episode #228]

  Pesticide used on oats known to harm development, fetal growth and harming reproductive health later in life. Asheville, N.C. – Aug. 25, 2025 – A new investigation by Moms Across America has found disturbing levels of a banned pesticide, chlormequat, in some of the most popular children’s cereals sold in the United States. Given this disturbing finding, Moms Across America is calling on the administration to revise the recently leaked draft of MAHA Commission strategy report, which falls short in calling for increased policy enforcement to reduce exposure of harmful pesticides to our children and American families. The findings raise serious concerns about food safety, particularly for children, and call into question the effectiveness of regulatory oversight by the Food and Drug Administration. Chlormequat, which has been linked to infertility, cancer, and developmental harm, was detected in 11 out of 14 cereal samples tested. The highest level—134.16 parts per billion—was found in General Mills’ Honey Nut Cheerios. It is not permitted for use on food crops in the U.S., and it was illegal for any imported grains to contain detectable levels of it until 2018. Key findings include...
