Nutrient Deficiencies in Autism

• Magnesium, calcium, zinc, selenium, iron • Vitamin B6, B12, folic acid, B1, B2, B3, bio?n • Vitamin D and A • Vitamin C • Omega 3 faDy acids • Amino acids: glutathione, cysteine, l-‐carni?ne, taurine, and glycine


Deficiencies can cause or Exacerbate: • Poor methyla?on • Poor detoxifica?on • Impaired immune func?on • Inflamma?on • OCD • Anxiety • Depression

Deficiencies stem from…

•  Poor quality food consump?on from the SAD diet •  Picky and restric?ve ea?ng •  Insufficient diges?on or absorp?on (inborn or acquired) •  Inability for the cell to u?lize nutrient • Not converted to ac?ve form •  Improper enzymes or nutrients needed for biochemical pathways (methyla?on, transulfura?on, and sulfa?on)

•  Increased toxins and inflamma?on -‐ use up needed nutrients

•  Intes?nal dysbiosis and lack of beneficial bacteria • Medica?on induced nutrient deple?on


How Nourishing Hope Can Help - Support Digestion & Biochemistry •  Leaky Gut and Gut Inflamma?on

–  Remove foods that inflame gut –  Add foods that reduce inflamma?on and heal the gut –  Add foods that supply beneficial bacteria

•  Nutrient Deficiencies –  Increase the quality of food and diges?bility

•  Yeast Overgrowth –  Remove sugars –  Reduce refined flour products and starches –  Add probio?c-‐rich foods

•  Toxicity and Poor Detoxifica?on –  Avoid food addi?ves –  Avoid toxins in food supply and meal prepara?on

•  Faulty Methyla?on and Sulfa?on –  Remove phenolic foods –  Improve methyla?on and sulfa?on through supplementa?on

Food vs. Supplements

• Food is the founda?on for geZng proper nutri?on.

–  Food has phytonutrients, enzymes, probio?cs and other compounds needed for good health

• However, for most children, addi?onal supplementa?on may be required

– A mul?vitamin/mineral formula helps ensure all children meet minimum requirements

–  Special diets may limit intake of certain nutrients (like calcium on a dairy-‐free diet), supplemental nutrients may be needed

–  For gene?c/biochemical reasons, certain ac?ve forms or higher amounts may be necessary


Good Choices for Picky Eaters • Chewables • Transdermals • Liquids • Powders

First 9 Supplements to Consider 1.  Diges?ve Enzymes 2.  Probio?cs 3.  Calcium (par?cularly important on a casein-‐free diet) 4.  Magnesium 5.  B6 -‐ pyrodoxine or P5P 6.  B12 -‐ methylcobalamin 7.  Folate -‐ Folinic or 5-‐MTHF 8.  Cod liver oil or fish oil 9.  Mul?vitamin/mineral formula


New Beginnings Nutritionals

• An?oxidants • Herbals/Botanicals • Vitamins/Minerals • An?-‐inflammatories • Methyla?on support • Diges?ve Enzymes • Amino Acids • Spectrum-‐Mate Starter Packages

Digestive Enzymes Break Proteins into Amino Acids

When someone is unable to break down gluten or casein proteins into individual amino acids, they remain as protein chains or opioids


Opioid Peptides can cause…

• Addic?on (foods) • High pain tolerance • InaDen?on and spacey behavior • Aggression (self and others) • S?mming • Mood changes • Poor eye contact

Digestive Enzymes

• Enzymes with DPP-‐IV help break down gluten, casein and soy to prevent opiate produc?on, help digest food for beDer absorp?on of nutrients, and reduce food reac?ons

• Use with or without the GFCF diet – Can help as you’re geZng ready to implement the GFCF diet

– Can help break down other sources of opiates from cross-‐contamina?on and other foods


Enzyme Strategies

• Water ac?vates enzymes, fat does not. •  Sprinkle enzymes on first bite of food. Something liquid or mushy.

•  Smoothie •  Juice • Add to cold water/juice, will stay ac?ve for about 4 hours. Will change the consistency of food.

• Melt into chocolate • Mix in nut/seed buDer

Taste It!

• Make sure it tastes palatable • Taste different supplements • Get crea?ve with what supplements can go where

• Taste finished product


Multivitamin-Mineral Formulas

• Contain lots of important nutrients • Strong in flavor, because of B vitamins • Smoothies one of best for mul?’s because it gets suspended and is a liDle more easy to disguise any griZness.

• Juices

Smoothie Recipe

•  1 cup mango (fresh or frozen) •  1/2 cup berries (fresh or frozen) •  1 banana •  1/2 avocado •  5 kale leaves destemmed (about one cup of kale) •  12 oz of water, or fresh fruit or vegetable juice •  2 dates (op?onal if the berries are on the sour side) Blend together in a blender and serve.


Supplements that Go Well in Smoothie • Mul?vitamin/mineral formula •  Folate and B-‐vitamins • Amino acids: 5-‐HTP, l-‐Carni?ne, GABA, taurine, l-‐theonine

• An?oxidants: An?oxidant complex, CoQ10, Pycnogenol

• Herbals/Botanicals: Curcumin, Biocidal complexes •  Inositol • MCT oil • Probio?cs

Food Boosters for Smoothie

• Green powders or leafy greens • An?oxidant fruits • Acai berry juice • Avocado • Frozen veggie puree cubes • Frozen veggie juice cubes • Hemp seed or nut/seed buDer • Raw pastured egg yolks • Local raw honey


Good ways to Boost Nutrient Levels and Enjoy More Vegetables

•  Veggies 101 –  Puree vegetables and add to:

•  Muffins •  Pancakes 1/4-1/2 cup puree per cup of pancake flour mix •  Meatballs, meat patties, and meat loaf •  Sauces such as tomato sauce •  After pureeing, freeze in ice cube trays and thaw as needed

•  Juicing vegetables

For beginning veggie eaters: Pureed carrots, sweet potato, winter squash, cauliflower Evolve texture and color: Kale, broccoli, and other greens (chopped or pureed)

Butternut Squash Blender Soup • 2 cups acorn or buDernut squash • 1 ½ cups chicken broth • ½ cup onions • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or ginger • 1 teaspoon salt • Ghee or oil


Minerals – Calcium/Magnesium Powder Blends • Calcium citrate, a bit chalky but flavorless • Magnesium citrate, natural lemon/citrus • Good in savory food • Powders in pancakes • In smoothies
