Acetaminophen and Autism….this article (see comments) sheds light that the connection is not conclusive.

And I also agree that MORE research is needed. I also believe there are many factors playing into autism and acetaminophen overuse could be a piece of the puzzle.

Personally, I know the downfalls of using acetaminophen outside the womb and you won’t find it in my home. In fact, I’ve never given my children Tylenol.

Acetaminophen decreases glutathione which in turn taxes the liver. Toxicity can result in acetaminophen overuse.

Fun fact: acetaminophen is one of the MRT tested chemicals and it can cause inflammation. I talk about this with each of my clients.

Know better. Do better.

“Before working with Kristen, I never knew how to interpret medical results. She sat down with me and went through each line of my results and she explained what each reading meant. A BIG win for me was to no longer experience the headaches that I've been having. Eating healthy is not good enough. I needed to know exactly what was affecting me. Thank you, Kristen!" -Jaye

For many years I really struggled with eczema and dermatitis, and searched everywhere for answers. Was it my face wash? Is it allergies? Is it stress? Etc etc etc... I had a gut feeling ( no pun intended ) that the issue was coming from the food I was eating and how it was affecting my skin or causing inflammation in my body. After doing the MRT and GI map with Kristen's guidance I felt like I had learned heaps about my body, and the protocol I was given really did transform my skin. I feel as though the experience has given me a lot of tools to move forward with and a better understanding of my body, and its likes and dislikes. Not only did my skin improve, I felt less bloated, had the most regular bowel movements of my life, and had plenty of energy to get through the day. Kristen is really wonderful to work with, and I felt as though she really paid attention to all of the details when investigating this part of someone's life!" -Ashley

“Before working with Kristen, I never knew that healthy alternative foods had an impact on my overall health. I learned proper and regular eating habits while working with Kristen. A BIG win for me was learning the specific foods that were causing inflammation throughout my entire body. Kristen helped me understand more concerning proper nutrition and how to maintain an overall healthy lifestyle."

“Several times I had attempted to do food elimination diet, but was never able to do it successfully. It not easy and especially when you have been so sick….So thankful I was led to Kristen as she right away had a plan and such valuable tools that made the task in finding the culprits much easier. One thing that impressed me in what she said right off was that it was vital that I would be honest in reporting. Without that it would not be possible to be successful. More than anything she wants to help you to get better fast and to bring you through nourished and enjoying life again.”

Ever feel kinda off after eating but can’t figure out why? It might be a food sensitivity — those sneaky reactions that don’t hit you right away and can be super confusing.

One of the best ways to figure it out? Food journaling! Just jot down what you eat and how you feel afterward. It helps spot patterns and figure out which foods might be messing with you.

Here’s a quick tip for starting:
📝 Write down what you eat & when
📝 Note any symptoms (like bloating, headaches, or mood swings)
📝 Keep track of portion sizes if you can

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about getting to know YOUR body better. And if you want help making sense of your food diary, I’m here for you! 💪

Give it a try and see what you discover!
