20.01.2022 Coming to the end of another year of school and reflecting on how much progress my little one has made despite a diagnosis at 4yo with a long list of acronyms. This year our family has witnessed great gains- big catch up to peers in social communication, emotional regulation, processing speed, reciprocation, executive function, self organisation, better connection of thoughts and feelings, and so on. Gains have always happened in little leaps followed by periods of plateau, ...plus some regression. Hand writing, drawing and written expression has been a constant and reliable marker in the journey. And this creation below marks a milestone in development. A poem written in Italian! with correct emotional context and structure. It's a marathon filled with complexity, contradiction and setbacks. But don't give up. Keep going. Back yourself. Know better so s/he can do better. See more

17.01.2022 Just listened to another great public lecture at the Florey Institute for Neuroscience in Australia. This time Assoc. Prof. Laura Jacobson, head of Sleep and Cognition at Florey, spoke about the importance of restorative sleep for preserving brain health over a life time. What is restorative sleep? Why is it so important for best neurodevelopment health and preserving cognitive ability? Read my latest blog about why sleep is the best medicine for your brain. https://www.arisinghealth.com.au//the-most-powerful-medici

So how can naturopathic interventions help build our stress resilience? https://www.arisinghealth.com.au//building-resilience-to-t

10.01.2022 Managing the fallout of the school start anxiety. Going back to school or starting school is a precarious time for families managing the fallout of the stress response in kids who struggle with school. Sensory overload, increased demands on social and executive function, expectations of performance, following the unwritten rules, switching to a school routine from a home routine. Heightened anxiety and a prolonged hypervigilant stress state (flight and fright) impedes our kid...s overall health especially mood, behaviour and cognitive capacity for learning and focus. So here is one lunchbox recipe developed using ingredients that have good evidenced-based application to mitigate the stress response and promote the right nutrients for happy guts and happy mood. The standout key points here specific to managing anxiety are coconut flour and and resistant starch. These flours contain compounds that mitigate the blood sugar spike driving fluctuations in mood and energy in a day. The medium chain fatty acids in many of the ingredients also even our blood sugar over the day. Acetyl carnitine with eggs provides ample supply of neurotransmitters,in high demand while under stress, for cognition (learning and memory). And glycine is a sweet nutritional medicine that is effective in reducing anxiety behaviours. Many of the ingredients are documented in nutritional medicine science to influence the synthesis of happy brain hormones serotonin and GABA by influencing beneficial flora in very complex ways. And choosing organic where you can means you are making a choice to limit your microbiome’s exposure to organophosphates used in its agricultural production. Chronic exposure is reducing microbiome diversity and altering gut function it ways still yet to be established in evidence. 1 cup of coconut flour cup of quinoa flakes 1.2 tsp of baking powder (aluminium free) 1 cup Coconut milk (or other preferred mylk) Pinch of salt (mineral rich derived from sea or rock, not table salt) 2 tsp of sweetener (stevia, xylitol, maple syrup 2 tsp of glycine powder 2 tbsp of resistant starch prebiotic powder 2 tsp of acetyl carnitine powder 4 tbsp of olive oil (oleic rich brand) 3 eggs Vanilla bean or drops. Fruit, dark chocolate or nuts to add METHOD 1. Set your oven to 180C 2. Prep the cupcake tray. 3. Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl. 4. Mix all the wet ingredients in another bowl. 5. Pour the dry into the wet and combine. 6. Spoon the mixture into each cupcake case (dye, bleach and plastic coating free if can get them). 7. Add your fruit, nut or chocolate piece into the centre and push down. 8. Bake for about 25mins or until firm and springy to touch.

07.01.2022 Another gut herbal antimicrobial mix made up for a client. Was happy to read the science article link below confirming what herbalists like me already know about the gentle and powerful force of herbal antimicrobials for healing the gut. I wish the article captured how herbal antimicrobials are more sophisticated than antibiotics in their mechanism of action. Antibiotics are indiscriminate with their killing and can create more problems down the track by lost diversity of b...eneficial species and promotion of antibiotic resistant weedy undesirable species. Herbal antimicrobials however, can kill specific pathogens or overgrown species, but will not kill other beneficial species. They have several mechanisms of action and are multifactorial in their effect on the gut. While they poison, explode, sabotage DNA, inhibit replication or dissolve the pathogen like detergent dissolves oil, they also encourage a healthy gut wall and support a gut environment for beneficial bacteria. This second round formula I made up today was carefully selected wit respect to the pathology of the client's GIT microbiome map. Making progress with the gut biome using herbal antimicrobials has seen Inattentiveness, poor handwriting, slow audio processing, agitated sensory sensitivity all improving. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4030608/ See more

06.01.2022 Noticing improvements such as better language, mood and so on can be lost amongst day to day demands. The degree of a deficit can be forgotten once an inital improvement is seen with a nutritional intervention. So what is the best way to track progress objectively and over the years? How do you know to stick at something because there is benefit. Changes in hand writing and drawing give the most reliable objective insight to the progress because it reflects shift and progress in the core deficit of autism, social communication and social thinking. Here's why.

03.01.2022 And that is summer school holidays done. Kids have had a great summer break, and this evening we worked on some social story maps to manage anxiety about the return to school routine. Spent the last day preparing batches of school lunchbox and after school treats - chocolate jellies, chocolate and berry truffles and muffins. All GFDF with good quality fats, resistant starch rich based flours, high fibre add ins such as chia and linseed meal, collagen rich gelatine, heat resistant probiotic powders known to increase GABA and serotonin happy hormones, and berries for polyphenol goodness to feed the good flora. Happy tummies, happy gut flora, good moods for the first week back at school.
