Ep 53: Child behavior, anxiety, ADHD & autism with psychologist & nutritionist Dr Nicole Beurkens

Dr Nicole Beurkens is known as 1 of the only clinical psychologists inward the world with advanced degrees inward nutrition and special education who has spent over 20 years helping families place the root of their children’s behavior, attention, anxiety, or mood disorders – sometimes where other specialists have failed – using lifestyle solutions before medication.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She’s also a female parent-of-four, an award-winning therapist, a published researcher, international consultant, author of two books – and somehow still has time to Pb a team of clinicians at her treatment center inward Michigan.

After learning about Dr Beurkens’ integrative work, I was really keen to interview her on #healthHackers. When I was teenager, at to the lowest degree two practitioners linked my debilitating #anxiety to fluctuating blood sugar levels. It resulted inward a major dietary shift for me (and my family). At the time, we knew barely anything about possible associations between food and #brain health.
