    The Study That Turned Lasers Into Brain Therapy

    Sixty years ago, scientists were trying to regrow hair on rats using red and near-infrared light. What they found instead changed the future of brain therapy. Erinn Askin explains how transcranial photobiomodulation was accidentally discovered when researchers noticed decreased ADHD-like symptoms in the rats they were studying, and how the field has grown from there. She also breaks down BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). 👍 LIKE this video if you learned something new. 💬 COMMENT below: were you surprised this was discovered by accident? 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to The First Seven Years for more expert conversations on parenting, childhood development, nutrition, and family health.

    How This Light Therapy is Helping Kids With Autism, ADHD and MORE | Erinn Askin EP24

    Could shining light on a child's head help rewire a struggling brain? That's the question at the center of today's conversation. Erinn Askin, MA, OTR/L, is a pediatric occupational therapist, the creator of NeuroAdaptive Therapy™, and founder of OTEIM (Occupational Therapy Empowering Individual Minds). Erinn joins Dr. Murray Clarke and Bryce Wylde to break down photobiomodulation, the use of specific light wavelengths to energize brain cells at the mitochondrial level, and why she believes it's changing outcomes for kids with autism, ADHD, developmental delay, and sensory processing challenges. This conversation goes beyond behavioural labels into the biology underneath them: mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, retained primitive reflexes, and BDNF (often called "fertilizer for the brain"). Erinn explains how her own daughter's severe ADHD led her to pioneer this work, walks through what a QEEG brain map reveals that a standard evaluation can't, and shares real outcomes from OTEIM's intensive therapy model, including a nonverbal child who is now keeping pace in the fifth grade.

    Does Your Child’s Eczema Starts in the Gut? | Joy McCarty EP24

    Could your child’s eczema be a sign of something deeper going on inside the body? In this episode of The First Seven Years, Joy McCarthy joins Dr. Murray and Bryce Wylde to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, skin health, and early childhood development. Joy McCarthy is a certified holistic nutritionist, bestselling author, founder of Joyous Health, and author of The Eczema Healing Guide. In this conversation, she explains why eczema is often more than a surface-level skin issue, how the gut microbiome influences inflammation and immune balance, and what parents can do to support healthier skin from the inside out. In this episode, you’ll learn about the gut-skin connection, how pregnancy and early feeding may shape a child’s microbiome, which foods and ingredients may aggravate eczema, and why “less is more” when it comes to skincare for babies and kids. Joy also shares practical guidance on probiotics, food rotation, clean products, and simple ways to help parents feel more empowered instead of overwhelmed.
