The gut and brain are deeply connected — especially in children with ADHD or Autism.

When the gut is out of balance, it can affect everything from emotional regulation to behaviour and learning.

The NeuroBalance Program helps uncover these imbalances through functional testing and tailored support.

Nutrient and neurotransmitter testing can reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface.

Low zinc, magnesium, or vitamin D can influence anxiety, mood swings, focus, and even speech development.

That’s why every NeuroBalance Program includes a full nutrient assessment — so we can treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Can a nutrient really help unlock social connection in Autism? 🌿�Folinic acid (leucovorin) supports the brain’s chemistry for communication and emotional engagement.

🧠 What Is Folinic Acid?
�Folinic acid is the active form of folateyour brain uses to make neurotransmitters and support healthy signaling.�When folate metabolism is low, social and emotional processing can be affected.

🔬 The Science
�Studies in autism and folate receptor antibody (FRAT‑positive) children show that folinic acid can improve social interaction, communication, and language.�It supports the brain systems that help us connect.

💬 How It Works
�Folinic acid helps your brain make serotonin and dopamine, supports myelination, and reduces inflammation — all of which can enhance social motivation and awareness.

🌈 What Parents Notice
Caption:�Parents often describe:�✨ More eye contact�✨ Better response to name�✨ More shared play and emotional warmth�Small biochemical shifts can create meaningful social change.

✨ The Takeaway
�Folinic acid doesn’t change who someone is — it helps their brain work at its best, allowing natural connection and communication to shine through.

📍 Reminder�Before supplementing, test for:�🧬 Folate receptor antibodies (FRAT)�🧬 MTHFR gene variants�Personalized care = better outcomes.
�Folinic acid can be a powerful tool for supporting social wellbeing when used thoughtfully and individually.�

ORGANIC ACID TEST

I’m working with a little client who has been diagnosed with autism.

Alongside this, she’s also dealing with sensory sensitivities, feeding struggles, anxiety, OCD tendencies, communication delays, sugar cravings, mood swings, and behavioral challenges.

We ran an Organic Acid Test, and the results showed there’s a lot more happening beneath the surface:

☑️ High oxalates
☑️ Folate metabolism issues
☑️ Gut bacterial imbalances
☑️ Fungal overgrowth
☑️ Mitochondrial dysfunction
☑️ Methylation challenges (MTHFR gene)

This tells us her behaviors aren’t just “because of autism.” Her body is overwhelmed on many levels, struggling to regulate and function properly.

This is more than autism — it’s a whole-body picture that needs support.

We need to look at the whole child not just one part. 👧

For our fussy beige eaters out there. So hard to get the fibre in for nourishing meals . For a health nervous system, brain and immune system .

Some benefits of fibre are for our kiddies are :

Elimination of wastes
Regular bowel motions
Helping to Absorb nutrients
Feeding our microbiome

So we can still have a beige diet and get the snout of fibre needed for these things through -

Pulse pastas
Potatoes 🥔
Brown rice
Oat meal
Apples
Cauliflower

All this in turns help brown and nervous system function for an our fussy neurodiverse eater with constipation .

Why do we test these in every child ?

These nutrients deficiencies like plasma zinc 🥜can contribute fussy eaters, picky eaters, food aversions like meat or our beige eaters .

Vitamin D ☀️can contribute to inflammation and immunity and also new research on speech and language problems.

Copper : zinc ratio if imbalances can lead to fatigue mood and cognitive issues

Low or high Serotonin and dopamine can lead to anxiety, depression , hyper activity , low appetite , fussy eaters.

B12 & B6 can lead to serotonin and dopamine being low , behavioural issues and mood disturbances , low energy.

All the these have such important impact on our kids brains and health. Our biggest asset. 🧠

Zinc and Food Aversions in Kids/ fussy eating, picky eaters

> Zinc deficiency can lead to poor appetite. Patients can have altered taste and smell & are normally beige eaters.

Why Does Zinc Deficiency Affect Eating?

- Zinc is involved in taste and smell:

Low zinc levels can cause changes in these senses, making food less appealing or even unpleasant for children.

Loss of appetite: Kids with zinc deficiency may simply not feel hungry, contributing to food refusal or aversions.

Signs Your Child Might Have Low Zinc

- Persistent food aversions or refusal to eat
- Loss of appetite
- Altered or reduced sense of taste or smell
- tending towards beige foods
- Growth delays

What Can Parents Do?

- Offer a variety of zinc-rich foods- Meat, seafood, dairy, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

supplementation is always a must if food aversions are present or limited food intake.
