I specialize in helping children with autism, ADHD and related disorders to improve through the use of food and nutrition. I work with over a dozen special diets, and I thrive on the science and research, as well as clinical application of varied dietary approaches (that includes honing the diet and nutrition strategy, cooking and meal planning for varied and complex client needs.) My philosophy is BioIndividual NutritionTM; customizing the diet for the individual needs of the child or adult. I love researching the science of the underlying biochemistry of disorders and how food can help or hinder healing.
Our aim is to connect individuals with nutrition practitioners, as well as other health professionals, researchers, coaches, chefs, and providers that practice BioIndividual Nutrition.

There is great need for people with advanced understanding of the most effective diet and nutritional strategies in healthcare today. This is why we provide this directory.
