In this episode, Dr. Crawford addresses critical questions regarding nonverbal autism and autism spectrum disorders to help parents understand the underlying causes and ways to encourage positive change. Featuring a detailed patient story, Dr. Crawford outlines a multifactorial and multimodal approach to treatment, the significance of neurodevelopmental evaluation, and the challenges and successes of assisting children in communication.

He explores the history of autism, discusses contributing factors such as light exposure, stress, and chemical influences, and introduces innovative therapies, including photobiomodulation and regenerative medicine. Tune in for a comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing autism spectrum disorders.

Resources Mentioned

1. Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) in Autism Treatment
   Study: A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study evaluated the effects of transcranial photobiomodulation in children aged 2–6 years with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The findings indicated that tPBM therapy reduced ASD symptoms, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive treatment option.

2. Circadian Rhythm Disruptions in Autism
   Study: Research has shown that sleep problems are prevalent in individuals with ASD, with circadian rhythm misalignment being a significant contributing factor. A study focusing on autistic children and adolescents found that misalignment of the biological clock can lead to sleep disturbances, which are common in this population.

3. Photobiomodulation as a Potential Treatment for Autism
   Review: A comprehensive review explored the application of photobiomodulation (PBM) as a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment for autism. The review highlighted that PBM could improve key characteristics of autism, including neuronal connectivity, inflammation patterns, and microbiome composition.

4. Impact of Light Exposure on Circadian Rhythms and Autism-like Behaviors
   Study: A study investigated the long-term neurodevelopmental consequences of circadian disruption caused by rhythm-disruptive light exposure. The findings suggested that early-life circadian desynchrony could lead to enduring autism-like behaviors, emphasizing the importance of maintaining regular light-dark cycles during critical developmental periods.

5. Systematic Review of Sleep Disturbances and Circadian Rhythms in Autism
   Review: A systematic review examined sleep disturbances and circadian rhythm alterations in children with ASD. The review found that children with ASD often experience irregular and delayed sleep pha

Dr. Brandon Crawford and Dr. Eric Ozansky discuss thyroid health, focusing on hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease. They stress the need for thorough testing and a holistic treatment approach that includes diet, stress management, and iodine supplementation. They also explore the links between thyroid health, halides, brain health, weight gain in hyperthyroid patients, and the effects of light exposure, providing tips for improving thyroid health.

What You’ll Learn

• Thyroid disorders affect 12% of the U.S. population, with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease often overlooked compared to hypothyroidism.
• Comprehensive testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis, as many patients may have both Graves' and Hashimoto's antibodies.
• Diet, lifestyle changes, and stress management play a significant role in maintaining thyroid health and managing autoimmune conditions.
• Iodine supplementation is controversial and should be approached with caution, especially in individuals with thyroid disorders.
• Thyroid hormones significantly influence brain health, mental well-being, and even contribute to unexpected issues like weight gain in hyperthyroid patients.
• Light exposure and gut health are critical factors that regulate thyroid function, emphasizing the importance of a holistic, functional medicine approach.

Tests Mentioned

• HAKALA labs testing (for halides testing)
• GI Map Testing
• Dutch Test (for hormones and cortisol)
• Urinary iodine testing
• Thyroid antibody testing (TSI, TPO, TG)

Dr. Brandon Crawford and Dr. Steph Venn-Watson delve into the groundbreaking discovery of C15, the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years. They discuss its pivotal role in cellular health, inflammation reduction, mitochondrial function, and longevity, shedding light on how modern diets may be lacking in this crucial nutrient. Listeners will be fascinated to learn how supplementing with Fatty15 can bolster brain health, immune function, and overall well-being.

What You’ll Learn

• C15 is a Newly Discovered Essential Fatty Acid – Identified through dolphin research, C15 is the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years. It plays a critical role in cellular health, metabolism, and longevity.
• C15 Deficiency Contributes to Accelerated Aging and Disease – A lack of C15 is linked to cellular fragility syndrome, which increases the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver disease. However, supplementation can help reverse these effects.
• Mitochondrial Function and Cellular Communication Improve with C15 – C15 has been shown to repair mitochondrial dysfunction, enhance energy production, and support cellular signaling pathways crucial for overall health.
• C15 Plays a Vital Role in Gut Health and Neurodevelopment. It helps reduce inflammation, supports digestion, and promotes beneficial gut bacteria while also playing a role in brain health, cognitive development, and childhood growth.
• Dietary Sources and Supplementation of C15 – While dairy fat and certain fish parts are natural sources of C15, many people don’t consume enough, making Fatty15 a bioavailable, vegan-friendly alternative.
• The Future of C15 Research is Expanding – Ongoing studies are uncovering the vast potential of C15 in Alzheimer’s prevention, anti-cancer properties, immune support, and its role in activating the endocannabinoid system for mood and sleep regulation. This exciting research is paving the way for a future where C15 could play a significant role in our health and well-being.
