In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the science behind folinic acid (Leucovorin), FRAT testing, and cerebral folate deficiency. But he also explains why focusing only on medications, gut health, and inflammation often leaves families stuck. Instead, Dr. Tony shows how the nervous system plays the central role in language, behavior, feeding, sleep, and overall healing—and why addressing it first changes everything. If your child has autism, language delays, or you've been told “it's all about the gut,” this episode will give you a new, root-cause perspective and a clearer path forward.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:03:00]) - Why the Medical World Only Sees the Nervous System Through Chemistry([00:11:00]) - What is Leucovorin?

Neurodiversity is a term that was recently coined in 1998 but the existence of differences in brains is as old as time. In this episode, we explore neurodiversity with Dr. Thomas Armstrong, author of The Power of Neurodiversity, Unleashing the Advantages of Your Neurodivergent Brain.  Dr. Armstrong explores 7 varieties of neurodiversity: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia. He explores the advantages and challenges for each diagnosis and he is working to change the stigmas around them.  As he believes, "just as we celebrate biodiversity and cultural diversity, we need to celebrate neurodiversity, or the differences between human brains."

After debriefing about the return of Jimmy Kimmel (1:15), in the second emergency podcast in as many weeks, Asif and Ali discuss President Trump's recent press conference linking autism to Tylenol use. Ali starts off by asking Asif about autism (8:27). Asif discusses what it is, how common it is, and the theories about why the prevalence of autism has been increasing over the past 2 decades. He then goes over the genetic causes of autism and the common questions he asks if he sees a patient who he suspects may have autism. Finally they discuss current treatments for autism.The guys then go over what exactly Trump said in his press conference about Tylenol and autism (33:33), followed by Asif describing the studies which refute and support these claims. They also talk about the dangers of pregnant women not taking medications to treat fevers as well of the dangers of ibuprofen use in pregnancy. Finally, Ali asks Asif about the controversial link between autism and vaccines and disgraced physician Andrew Wakefield.

I've always wanted to keep people company and make them laugh. I want to hear what people are going through, because chances are, I've already gone through the same thing. -Kendra Petrone Meet a talented young woman who is part of the only all-female morning show on the radio in Boston. The legendary Magic 106.7/WMJX www.magic1067.com has been a female-driven radio station for decades, but it wasn't until 2025 that the station announced Sue & Kendra as co-hosts of Morning Magic. The two broadcasters, who are also the best of friends, host the station's award-winning series, Exceptional Women. No stranger to media, Kendra has worked for over 17 years in both radio and television. A graduate of UMASS/Amherst, she is the daughter of a first-grade teacher who taught her to be persistent. In fact, Kendra says 98% of her success story is rooted in taking chances. “I'm terrified of everything, but I know that if I don't do it, somebody else will, and if you don't take chances, you'll never know how far you can go. “ My mother used to say: 'Failure is not a failure. Every time you fail, you learn.” Raised north of Boston in the town of Methuen, Kendra is proud of her roots and is an avid Boston sports fan. Her deep love for the Patriots grew out of a stint working for the team during two Super Bowl runs. The devoted wife of a police officer, Kendra is also the mother of three children, including two sons diagnosed early in life with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In this interview, she shares her joy in finding a community to rely on as she raises special needs children, and her commitment to support local charities, including Melmark New England, The Northeast Arc, and Rock the Spectrum.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is the host of "Functional Health Radio" and an advocate for holistic health and well-being. With extensive experience in the field of functional health, Dr. Hieshetter addresses controversial subjects in health and wellness with a focus on empathetic and fact-based conversations. Her work often involves dissecting complex medical topics and bringing light to issues that impact public health. Episode Summary: In this riveting episode of "Functional Health Radio," Dr. Kristin Hieshetter dives deep into the controversy surrounding Tylenol (acetaminophen) and its implications for pregnant women and children's health. As part two of a compelling series, Dr. Hieshetter meticulously examines studies suggesting links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and increased risks of autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders in children. This episode highlights the historical, medical, and ethical concerns tied to one of the most commonly used over-the-counter medications in the world. This discussion centers around research showing acetaminophen's potential as an endocrine disruptor capable of affecting fetal brain development, with notable studies like the 2019 Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry article and others from UCLA and Sweden exploring this connection. Dr. Hieshetter raises awareness of these significant findings, intertwining scholarly data with her professional insights, and encourages listeners to approach this complex issue with open-mindedness and a commitment to understanding the broader implications on public health. Key Takeaways: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy has been linked to increased risks of autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders, according to various studies. Historical issues with Johnson & Johnson's products, such as asbestos in talcum powder, highlight concerns about trust and corporate responsibility. The notion that acetaminophen disrupts hormone function during pregnancy, potentially influencing fetal brain development, is supported by multiple research findings. There is a call for further investigations and dialogue about the safety of acetaminophen, particularly concerning its use in pregnant women and children. Alternative methods for managing fever and pain, especially during pregnancy, should be considered to minimize potential risks to fetal development. Notable Quotes: "We were propagandized to believe that certain medications are safe, and now we're facing the consequences of that trust." "If this is truly what's happening, as these researchers have said, it warrants additional investigation." "The rapid increase in childhood neurodevelopmental disorders in the United States of America is unacceptable." "Maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy is linked to a 37% rise in hyperkinetic disorders and 29% in ADHD." "We must have honest conversations about the world we've created and the legacy we want to leave behind." Resources: Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry (2019) - Link UCLA Study (2014) on acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders. Johnson and Johnson No More Tears expose by Gardner Harris. EWG Water Safety Reports - Link Alternative Medicine Review (2009) on acetaminophen and autism. Listeners are encouraged to absorb the insights and data shared in this episode and reflect on the broader implications of acetaminophen use.

In Session 311, I sit down with Christina Nylander and Leah Hussain from Apollo Behavior to talk about culturally sensitive approaches to Autism intervention. We dive into three case studies that show how flexible, individualized care can make a huge difference in building the rapport that's so important in our clinical work. Along the way, we share strategies for gaining parent buy-in, supporting bilingual language development, and using AAC devices to help children communicate more effectively with their families. Here's what we cover: The parent training shift when cultural sensitivity and rapport-building are prioritized. Christina and Leah's bilingual language development success stories, including Spanish- and Russian-speaking families. The role of AAC devices in improving communication, and one of these case studies progressed to no longer needing this technology. My random thoughts on video documentation and other creative methods to communicate client progress to stakeholders. Throughout the discussion, we reflect on the importance of balancing clinical recommendations with cultural and educational values. It's not just about treatment plans—it's about building trust, respecting families' perspectives, and helping kids thrive in ways that feel authentic to them. Sidenote: If you want to learn about what it's like to work at Apollo, or check out their open positions, click here. Key Takeaways Cultural sensitivity builds stronger collaboration with families. Bilingual and AAC strategies can unlock communication progress. Showing progress through videos and creative methods strengthens parent engagement. Individualized parent training, including in multiple languages, increases accessibility. If you're a BCBA, ABA therapist, or behavioral health professional, I think you'll find this conversation full of practical ideas for making your work more effective—and more meaningful.

Today we tackle the common issue of how parents should handle planned emancipation when their teenager carries one or more diagnoses like ADHD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder or Dyslexia or Depression or Anxiety or Trauma etc. etc. etc. This question comes up a lot! Dr. Ken's take is clear and freeing—the diagnosis shapes how you coach but not whether you give freedoms. Parents can adjust their approach, offer tools, and expect some natural consequences, but lowering the bar only delays the growth they'll need when the world stops making accommodations. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here.Got questions or feedback?

In ASD, a high prevalence of FRAA (up to 75%) has been documented, leading to impaired cerebral folate transport and subsequent deficiency despite normal serum folate levels.[1][2] Leucovorin utilizes the reduced folate carrier to restore central nervous system folate levels, thereby addressing a key pathophysiological mechanism in a subset of children with ASD.[1][2]Treatment of Folate Metabolism Abnormalities in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

“We've been able to show that even by 30 days of age, we can predict with some accuracy if a child is going to have a diagnosis of autism,” says Dr. Geraldine Dawson, sharing one of the recent advancements in early diagnosis being aided by artificial intelligence.  Dr. Dawson -- a leading scholar in the field and founding director of the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development – explains that an AI examination of a child's pattern of visits to medical specialists in its very early life is an objective diagnostic tool that can supplement the current subjective reports from parents which vary in reliability. Another objective diagnostic tool in development uses a smartphone app developed at Duke that takes video of babies watching images and applies AI-aided Computer Vision Analysis to measure for signs of autism. This enlightening Raise the Line conversation with host Lindsey Smith is loaded with the latest understandings about Autism Spectrum Disorder including advancements in early therapeutic interventions, the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, and the role of the mother's health and exposures during pregnancy. You'll learn as well about what Dawson sees as necessary societal shifts in how autism is perceived, the numerous factors contributing to a near tripling of diagnoses over the past two decades, and how early intervention and informed advocacy can make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless families.Mentioned in this episode:Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Co-Host Dr. Craig B. Wiener (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wiener) My first time guest, Dr. Craig B. Wiener is a licensed psychologist and best selling author on a variety of topics. Central to today's episode, much of Dr. Wiener's important work has snowballed since he first questioned the growing tendency to make behavioral problems medical disabilities...especially for boys. His groundbreaking work with ADHD shows that the behaviors included in the ADHD diagnosis can become frequent due to reinforcement. This "medicalization of the social" is a topic of interest for all of us as men, for sure...and for a variety of reasons, actually. What would Craig tell men who have been told there's something wrong with them by the medical field, when it might actually be a social thing? Could we simply need some self-work on our social skills. Or worse, could we have been told something is wrong with us when we're really just fine?  What about when parents project medical diagnoses upon their kids? (e.g. Health Anxiety By Proxy or Munchausen Syndrome) How would Craig explain the rise in later-life diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder? And what about when people manipulate the medicalization of the social for their own apparent benefit, like "I'm on the spectrum, not a narcissist"? What happens when little boys act like, well...little boys, but are rushed to the principal's office or even to therapy for it? On the other hand, there's also a pattern where people seek help, then resist it and offload the blame onto others. Why would anyone want to stay locked into their pattern of failure?
