Ever wonder what’s in your gut?

Autism is a medical disorder with various biochemical imbalances that contribute to behavior, language and cognitive development. However, methylation problems don’t only occur in autism, but other neurocognitive and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and various dementia’s.

Methyl B12 therapy is one intervention, but there are others, including active folate, etc. that play a role in supporting the health of the individual. This presentation will take a deeper look at these important interventions.
