If your child seems foggy, slow to respond or easily overwhelmed - even though they’re trying to learn or focus - the root issue might not be in the brain at all.
​
Gut inflammation and imbalanced bacteria can quietly sabotage your child’s ability to learn, remember and process.
​
In my upcoming workshop The Processing Speed ToolKit, I’ll walk you through the hidden gut-brain connections that impact processing speed, how to address it and give you practical tools to start shifting things right away.

Therapy burnout is real.

And your child isn’t being lazy, resistant, or difficult.

They’re exhausted.

After IEP meetings, reading programs, tutoring, and speech therapy that don’t address the real issue, it’s no wonder they shut down.

Somewhere inside, they know it’s not working.

They’re tired of trying three times harder just to fall further behind.

Every intervention becomes a reminder that they’re not measuring up - and that’s heartbreaking.

But here’s the truth most professionals miss:

When your child starts shutting down, it’s not time to push harder.

It’s time to zoom out and ask why their brain is still struggling to keep up.

Because if the root issue like slow processing speed isn’t addressed, no amount of flashcards or phonics drills is going to work.

In fact, it may just make them feel worse.

On August 18th, I’m hosting a live online training to uncover one of the most misunderstood root causes of learning and attention struggles: processing speed.

You’ll learn why so many smart kids get misdiagnosed, misjudged, and mistreated - and what actually helps.

If your child is burning out, this is your wake-up call.

Don’t wait until they give up completely.

Yep. I’ve heard it all…

“You should just trust the IEP and the process.”

I mean, I could... but why would I want to? 😏

Because learning independently matters. And when you want your child to have confidence, you don’t depend on a permanent crutch in place of their brain.

And let’s be honest - that kind of thinking is exactly why so many kids graduate high school and still can’t read, write or learn well even though they don’t lack intelligence.

Here’s what I’ve seen work instead:

✅ Addressing gut health, nutrient deficiencies and toxins that result in poor processing and learning ability and focus.

✅ Strengthening the weak connections in the lower brain levels that are causing the breakdown (and almost never get addressed).

✅ Boost cognitive skills with cognitive therapies and neurotechnologies.

✅ Helping kids bust past their apparent limitations, lose the IEP and other band-aids so they can regain their confidence and reach their full potential.

I don’t do this just so kids can get A’s (although kids have been known to go from D’s to As).

… I do it because kids shouldn’t be limited by a broken, underfunded medical and school system.

They definitely shouldn’t have learning trauma as their childhood memory…

…but instead they definitely SHOULD have childhoods filled with time to be a kid, to build self-esteem and be filled with joy at learning new things.

Ready to ditch the “shoulds” and do it YOUR way instead?

Moms of kids with learning delays will say “oh yes my child needs time to answer questions or they need more time to take tests.”

…and they absolutely do.

Those accommodations are necessary.

But they’re not enough.

Because here’s the real question:
Why does your child need more time in the first place?

Slow processing speed isn’t an ‘academic quirk’ and it’s definitely not hard-wired.

It’s a neurological bottleneck and it affects so much more than test-taking:

➤ Reading is SOOO slow. They zone out in class, then panic when they realize they missed the instructions

➤ They freeze when asked a question, not because they don’t know but because their brain can’t organize the response fast enough

➤ They take forever to start writing or can’t get their thoughts out fast enough to keep up

➤ Homework that should take 30 minutes… drags on for 2 hours

And while extra time helps them survive the school day… It doesn’t help their brain function more efficiently.

It doesn’t make them a better learner. It doesn’t build the processing speed they need to keep up for real life.

So what do we do instead?

We look at the brain systems involved in timing, integration, and efficiency:

Is the cerebellum underdeveloped?

Are there toxins slowing down ‘delivery speed’?

Are primitive reflexes still active?

Is there gut inflammation interfering with nutrient absorption and brain signaling?

Once we know what’s causing the slowness, we can address the root of the problem so your child no longer has to rely on compensations.

Your child can start to think faster, clearer and be better organized and feel more confident - without pushing or prodding.

In my upcoming training, I’ll walk you through what’s really behind your child’s slow processing… and give you all the tools I know that actually overcomes this issue.

Instead of getting stuck on labels like dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, or learning disability, it’s more helpful to ask:

What’s actually causing the symptoms?

Those diagnoses are just clusters of symptoms. They don’t tell us why your child is struggling or how to help them improve.

For example:

Slow processing speed is one of the most common root issues I see.

And it impacts everything - like

🧠 Memory
🧠 Reading
🧠 Writing
🧠 Attention
🧠 Anxiety + overwhelm
🧠 Impulse control

It’s often overlooked… but it’s one of the first places I start.

I’m diving deep into this in my upcoming workshop on August 18th so if you want to truly understand what’s going on in your child’s brain and what you can do about it comment PROCESS below and I’ll DM you the link to sign up.

I know what it’s like to feel like you are the make-or-break factor in whether your child gets better.
​
To carry the weight of knowing too much, trying SO hard and still feeling like you’re not doing enough.
​
To feel like time is running out… and it’s all on you.
​
That’s why my program isn’t just about exercises, gut healing or brain rewiring.
It’s about you, too.
​
Inside the Full Potential Academy, I offer Zoom calls as well as daily 1:1 WhatsApp support so moms never have to feel alone again.
​
You get real-time help, pep talks, perspective shifts and the kind of support that says:
​
“You don’t have to hold this all by yourself anymore.”
​
Because when the mother is supported, the child can thrive.
​
You were never meant to do this alone.

Most families I work with come to me after trying everything… tutors, reading programs, supplements, diet changes, IEPs - and still feeling stuck.
​
The truth is, your child doesn’t need more drills or another diagnosis.
They need a completely different approach.
​
We strengthen the weak brain connections that make learning hard.
​
We remove what’s slowing them down (like gut imbalances or nutrient deficiencies).
We train the brain to process, remember, and learn - independently.
​
And kids start learning, focusing and building confidence like never before.
​
That’s the power of building the brain - not just accommodating the struggle.
​
This summer is a window. No homework. No overwhelm. Just time to make massive progress before September.
​
I have 2 spots left for summer enrollment.

When your child has slow processing speed, they are working way too hard to learn, read, write, play sports and even focus.
​
While others might think they are ‘lazy’ or ‘unfocused’, your child is exhausted, frustrated and wondering what’s wrong with them.
​
Whether it’s you telling them to get their shoes and they just stare at you or you ask a question and it takes them forever to answer or they start their homework and somehow 40 minutes later - nothing is done.
​
When timing is off in the brain, it shows up in both thinking and moving.
​
That’s because movement and learning both live in the cerebellum - a part of the brain responsible for timing.
​
Processing speed issues is a whole-brain systems issue and it can affect kids with learning issues and even bright kids who while academically gifted can’t focus or self-regulate.
​
When it comes to learning difficulties, slow processing speed is one of the most overlooked factors in learning challenges - and even when it is recognized, the answer is often things like:
​
More time to take tests
Provide adequate time to respond to questions
Assistive technology to write in-class assignments
​
But the underlying factors behind poor processing speed can be optimized and even overcome with brain-based interventions.
​
Processing speed is complex, so I’ll be diving into the top root causes of slow processing speed (like gut health, retained reflexes, and brain development) and what can be done.
