BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson

They tried everything. Nothing worked.
If you're not shocked by this podcast episode, you have a heart of stone. In it, I reveal the sad story of 3 autism moms that came to me too late—broken by the most common autism symptoms and the most common autism therapies (that don't work.)

This podcast/youtube video is a personal message for autism moms like the 3 moms I spoke to last week. Stimming, eloping, nonverbal autism, tantrums and picky eating were just some of the symptoms that stole their child, their happiness, their dreams for the family and their future. Disillusioned after having done EVERY diet, therapy, diet and protocol out there with no results for the hours and thousands of dollars wasted.

I dedicate this podcast episode to 3 moms that didn't make it. They came to me too late. Too battered by the autism therapy industry to battle anymore. To drained financially, emotionally and practically to trust me. Or anyone.

I created this episode to:
Save new moms from the expensive experiences these moms went through, which cost them a fortune, didn't change symptoms and made them give up on the "autism healing" community altogether. Whilst losing precious years that could have been used to redevelop the child's brain and

Expose the insane "State of the Union" in the field of autism therapy where ineffective  "coping strategies" that cost more than a house is recommended by the "experts who diagnose and misunderstand our children.

Go through and describe the "dark phase of autism" a very normal phase of autism that HAS to be followed by change if it's not to become our prison.

Warn autism moms about the most popular autism therapies, diets and protocols such as Nemechek, Gaps, heavy metal detox, TRS, homoeopathy, neurofeedback, ABA, OT, autism supplements, camel milk etc.

Explain the underlying reason behind autism symptoms like stimming, eloping, anger, aggression, mood swings, rigidity, sensory issues, and lack of social skills and learning and how to address these reasons to change the outcome.

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 detoxification), plus cause aggression, tantrums, mood swings, and more.

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 to tell you that the more drastic you go right now to fix that problem, the worse the problem is going to get. 

The strategies you used when you were younger or even before autism does NOT work anymore.

Your nervous system is in pieces. Your hormones are all over the place because you've been living in stress, fight/flight and worry for way too long. 
Your body does not feel safe, and adding MORE stress into the mix (aka fasting, cardio, calorie counting, skipping breakfast, will have a horrible long-term effect on your weight (you will gain more), metabolism (it will slow down even more) and your hormones (permanent stress, survival, break-down mode.)

So what do we do instead? How do we lose weight, tone up, and stabilize mood, anxiety and depression while turning autism symptoms around, getting stronger with kindness and biochemical/biologically safe approaches? 


That's what I'm covering in today's solo episode. I am also sharing a little life update (what's going on in our life, with that tiny home, my Jesus journey...you're about to find out.

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 many American/Canadian families as well.)

Don't miss this conversation between Ninka-Bernadette Mauristson and Hilde Lorentzen about stress intolerance, anger, rage, mood swings, anxiety and panic attacks,  depression, eating disorders, addiction, night terror, gut - and blood sugar imbalances and how to deal with it from a nutritional standpoint.

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 suddenly, he was "gone" into autism symptoms, tantrums, and meltdowns. He had dark circles under his eyes, he would be throwing things and hitting himself if things didn't go his way.

He had no interest in other humans or animals. Ashley and her husband were in denial. Ashley used food to escape (4000 calories per day) and switched between over-consumption and punishment (heavy exercise. 

When they first heard that autism symptoms don't have to be for life, they tried Nemechek, gluten - and dairy-free diets. It had some effect. But it wasn't until Ashley started working on herself and her own healing that things started to shift for real. 

Her son is now bonding with animals and other people and smiling. He makes eye contact and loves to touch and look at his family members (he hated it before.)

Ashley lost 27 pounds in 2 months without dieting. She stopped stressing, over-performing and feeling numb, and her son is behaving more and more like a typical 4-year-old.
