Let me introduce you to my “why” - this is my younger brother, Tristan!
In 2001, Tristan was diagnosed with severe, regressive autism. Non-verbal with aggressive behaviors, doctors told us he would likely spend his entire life locked out of our world.
I thank God every day that my mom didn’t accept that life for us all. Instead, she moved 7 hours away from everything she’d ever known to find services for my brother.
Over the next 20 years, our family worked tirelessly to get Tristan help, even after he developed uncontrolled epilepsy at 10. ABA therapy, medications, years of functional medicine, and while he made some progress and eventually became verbal, he remained trapped in the mind of a 5 year old with worsening seizures by the year.
By the time God called me into naturopathy, Tristan was having over 200 seizures a year and was diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut disorder. No cure, no medications left to try and no trials around the corner, and little hope Tristan would reach 30 at the rate his disorder was progressing - slide #2 is from the ICU when he was on life support from the epilepsy.
Then came the breakthrough we’d prayed 25 years for!
A natural protocol that began putting his seizures into remission overnight…. and in the process, also began reversing his autism symptoms.
As it would turn out, the same oxidative stress in his brain causing his seizures was also causing his autism symptoms, and thankfully God showed us a solution that was reversing both.
Fast forward to today, and Tristan’s life is evolving by the day! Now on zero medications and just a few supplements, his seizure disorder is going into remission, his behaviors under control, and his understanding level is expanding by the day.
Then came my mission - to help others heal, too!
