Bridging Genetics, Gut Health, and Behavior in Pediatrics with Lucinda Miller
Could a child's focus and mood problems really boil down to low iron levels and overlooked gut parasites? What happens when a leading pediatric nutritionist uncovers "obvious" root causes of ADHD and autism that most doctors miss?
Join hosts Dr. Emmie Brown, ND, and Melissa Gentile, INHC, as they welcome Lucinda Miller, clinical lead at Nature Doc and acclaimed expert in pediatric nutrition, naturopathy, and functional medicine. Drawing on over 25 years of clinical experience and her own journey as both a clinician and a parent navigating neurodiversity, Lucinda offers a deep exploration of how personalized, evidence-based nutrition can transform the neurodevelopmental trajectories of children.
The conversation traces Lucinda's evolution from family-centered experimentation to a clinical model focused on children with autism, ADHD, sensory challenges, and similar concerns. She emphasizes the importance of advanced functional testing, including organic acid analysis, nutrient panels, and comprehensive stool analysis, to reveal underlying drivers such as mineral deficiencies, parasites, gut dysbiosis, and mycotoxin exposures that are often overlooked in standard care.
Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
📌 Low iron and zinc worsen ADHD symptoms via impaired dopamine synthesis.
📌 Chronic gut parasites can drive behavioral and cognitive symptoms in children.
📌 Functional testing routinely uncovers overlooked nutrient deficiencies and toxins.
📌 Gradual, family-centered dietary shifts yield better compliance in neurodiverse kids.
📌 Gluten and dairy exclusion should be personalized, not universally mandated.
