Leucovorin and Autism: What the Folinic Acid Research Actually Shows | John Slattery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leucovorin, also known as folinic acid, has become one of the most discussed topics in autism research. John Slattery, co-author of the 2018 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of folinic acid in children with autism and language impairment, joins Nadia Elkhatib to separate the research from the noise. They unpack what the trial actually measured and found; why folate receptor alpha autoantibodies (FRAAs) may matter; how FOLR1, cerebral folate deficiency, the folate receptor, and th
Scott Forsgren’s 16-Step Chronic Illness Roadmap: What Autism Families Can Learn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a child or adult with autism has multiple overlapping health concerns, where do you start, what comes next, and what may need to wait? Scott Forsgren, founder of BetterHealthGuy, joins Nadia to walk through the 16-step roadmap he developed from nearly three decades of navigating complex chronic illness, and to explore what autism families may be able to learn from that framework. The conversation begins with nervous system regulation, mast cells and histamine, detoxification and drainage, a
Autism Gut Health: Peptide Signaling, Inflammation, and Oral Delivery | Kyal Van Der Leest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why can some peptides work orally while others struggle to survive the gut? In this episode of Biohacking Autism, Nadia Elkhatib talks with Kyal Van Der Leest, CEO, founder, and formulator of LVLUP Health, about autism gut health, peptide signaling, inflammation, oral bioavailability, and what formulation changes when peptides have to travel through the digestive system. Kyal starts with one of the clearest explanations of peptides we have heard on the podcast: “Amino acids are letters, peptides
Autism Gut Issues and Bioregulators: A Clinical Pharmacist Explains | Dr. Grace Liu, PharmD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Autism gut issues, the gut-brain axis, and bioregulators come together in this conversation with Dr. Grace Liu, PharmD. Grace explains why she approaches the gut and the brain as one interconnected system rather than working through them in sequence, what peptide bioregulators are and how they differ from signaling peptides, what the research actually shows, and why highly reactive children need a very different clinical lens. For most families the starting point is not theory. It is constipatio
Autism Biology | The Blood Work I Wish I Had Checked First (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Autism blood work rarely comes first. In this solo episode Nadia Elkhatib explains why she now starts with baseline biology before choosing the next specialty treatment for her son Jimmy. For twenty years she worked on Lyme, mold, gut, mast cells and detoxification, and that work helped. What she skipped was the foundation underneath it: thyroid function, sex hormones, insulin and metabolic health, the lipid panel, and nervous system regulation. Nadia walks through the difference between a labor
