The rates of autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, have absolutely skyrocketed in recent decades. This statement in and of itself is controversial, as many experts claim that prevalence has only grown with better evaluation and diagnostics. But no matter how you look at it, gaining a better understanding of autism and its root causes is important for children and families who are navigating symptoms. Our guest today is author and children’s health advocate, Beth Lambert. Beth has studied and documented the rising rates of childhood chronic conditions for 15 years. Her work includes running the nonprofit Documenting Hope, conducting a peer reviewed case report on reversing the symptoms of autism, and more. In this conversation, Beth is sharing the main environmental factors that can contribute to autism spectrum disorder. You’re going to learn about the generational impact of stress, the cumulative effect of environmental stressors, and how systems like the microbiome are connected to most chronic conditions that kids are dealing with today. Most importantly, Beth is sharing how to a proactive approach to health. I hope you enjoy this interview! In this episode you’ll discover:
