183. Transforming Behavior Through Nutrition with Sonya Bell
Can what your child eats really affect their behavior?
In this episode of the Mother’s Guide Through Autism podcast, Brigitte speaks with Sonya Bell—a registered nurse, autism mom, and integrative nutrition health coach—about the powerful connection between food and behavior in neurodivergent children.
After both her son and daughter were diagnosed with developmental differences, Sonya began exploring the role of nutrition.
From removing food additives to embracing whole, clean eating, Sonya shares the steps that helped her son thrive emotionally and behaviorally—and how you can begin making changes too.
