What If It's NOT Depression? Podcast23 Jun 2022

The Functional Roadmap to Attention and Regulation in Kids | Dr. Vaish Sarathy PhD and Dr. Achina Stein, DO

This is an episode focusing on Autism and Down’s Syndrome. I wanted to interview Dr. Sarathy because she shows that functional medicine has a place with this population as well, but there are other specific things that also need to be addressed. Listen in!

Dr. Vaish Sarathy is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Science and Math Teacher in multiple settings. She comes to Functional Nutrition and Education with a mission to reframe health, cognition, and optimal function for children with disabilities. Vaish believes that Sound Nutrition and an Equal Education are the birthrights of every child. Her perspective is shaped by her autistic, non-speaking 14-year-old son, with Down Syndrome who is a published poet and author.

We discussed:

✅Making Functional Nutrition easy and accessible to kids
✅Fundamentals of Supporting Attention/Hyperactivity
✅Gaps in Fx Med approach when working with kids with Autism / other disabilities
✅What does it mean to Assume Intelligence
✅How Traditional Foods fit in a Regulation / Attention paradigm

Her 2019 TEDx talk "Who Decides How Smart You Are'' about the value of Assuming Intelligence in all kids has been hailed as "mind-blowing", "powerful, and eye-opening" by parents and practitioners alike. Vaish also hosts a podcast, Functional Nutrition and Learning for Kids, where she interviews thought leaders from Education, Learning, Functional Medicine, and Disabled people with different communication.
