Welcome to Episode 148 of Autism Parenting Secrets.
We are delighted to have Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen with us today and we’re talking genomics.
An exciting and promising area of opportunity to better support your child that you don’t want to overlook.
And the first step is better understanding what’s now possible that wasn’t even a few years ago.
Dr. Sharon is the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of IntellxxDNA™.
She received both her master’s degree and medical degree from Harvard Medical School and she’s been in the field of integrative medicine for over 25 years.
She co-foundered IntellxxDNA to fill an unmet need for an accurate, evidence-based genomics tool geared at helping functional and integrative physicians practice personalized medicine.
A tool that could 1) help identify ROOT CAUSES of autism, cognitive decline, environmentally acquired illness, and other chronic illnesses and 2) help clinicians know HOW to address these genomic factors.
The IntellxxDNA™ clinical decision support tool is now being used as part of medical decision-making by physicians across the country and it’s being used in studies addressing autism and complex illnesses in children as well as in adult studies geared at the reversal of cognitive decline.
There are literally hundreds of different nutrients, vitamins, and interventions out there that have evidence in the literature for improving outcomes in autism, OCD, ADHD, and anxiety. But, how do you the parent figure out without random trial and error what might be beneficial for YOUR child?
