Getting to Know Marissa Conover - A Founding Board Member The Pure Living Family Podcast

- Parenting
Let me introduce you to Marissa Conover another member of our board for the Pure Living Family Foundation. Her daughter Lila was diagnosed with Autism around age 3 after witnessing signs of regression for about 6 months to a year. About that same time, we were going through the same things with Theo. Marissa was introduced to Angela (Theo’s mom) through a mutual friend and Angela introduced Marissa to the bio-med mom’s group on Instagram. Marissa talked about what an amazing feeling it is to be connected to like-minded parents. Within the autism community, you can be judged and dismissed as a conspiracy theorist if you want to pursue a holistic diet approach when you try to avoid gluten and dairy and when you try to remove sugars and food coloring. Marissa said how amazing it is to be connected to moms who share similar beliefs and she feels like she will be connected to these moms forever. Our goal with this Foundation is to connect more parents in this space.
Marissa also talks about the process they went through to find a stem cell therapy, where they eventually took their daughter to Panama for this treatment. They really felt called to stem cell therapy because they had worked on the gut and they decided that they needed to break through the blood-brain barrier to help Lila reach her potential. We know that you will love Marissa as much as we do. You can connect with her on Instagram @marissaconover.
The Pure Living Family Foundation is a federally recognized 501-C-3 nonprofit. 2024 we have a goal to run 3 camp retreats for parents of kids who have been diagnosed with autism or other chronic autoimmune illnesses like PANDAS. We need to raise $20,000 in order to run these camps that will serve both as a networking event and an educational summit. We invite you to donate to the nonprofit to help support the parents of kids with special needs. You can donate here:
