In the last episode we spoke with a mom who found resolutions for her sons\u2019 autism, and PANS\/PANDAS. Today\u2019s guest, Maria, also helped guide her sons out of multiple health struggles. Long story short, early on, one of her sons showed signs of sensory processing disorder, digestive issues, developmental delays and other health concerns. After they weren\u2019t finding answers in conventional medicine, she turned to a naturopath and a variety of practitioners for help. By finding and addressing the causes behind her son\u2019s health issues, they were able to turn them around. In my talk with Maria, you\u2019ll hear\u2026 The mix of health struggles, including sensory processing disorder, that led Maria to describe her son\u2019s condition as \u201calmost autism\u201d Her own health issues and how she believes they were linked to her son\u2019s struggles The specific therapies and practitioners that helped Maria and her son Why she removed her mercury dental fillings The diet changes that improved many of her son\u2019s symptoms The link between developmental delays and what\u2019s called retained primitive reflexes How their family addressed Lyme disease and PANS\/PANDAS Why you have to do your own research and be your own and your child\u2019s advocate And how all this inspired Maria to leave Wall St to become a health practitioner Maria Rickert Hong is a former Wall Street sell-side equity research analyst who is now a Certified Holistic Health Counselor.
