Free, Weekly Seminars on Autism Diet and Nutrition
Each week Julie Matthews, Certified Nutrition Consultant and Autism Diet Specialist, will conduct FREE educational webinars for parents and caregivers to learn and become more effective with their dietary strategies. Topics will range from beginner GFCF implementation to advanced diet discussions focused on other special autism diets, as well as entire Q&A sessions dedicated to having your questions answered. Julie is a leading specialist in "nutrition intervention" for ASDs which comprises deep understanding of biochemistry and the role of food, nutrition, and supplementation in the restoration of health and well being. She understands, applies, and customizes the varied dietary strategies - as there is no "one size fits all" approach, nor one particular "autism diet." Take just one hour each week for nutrition learning, guidance, advice and at-home support.
