Autism & Neurodivergence Part 1

Sandra and Monique discuss all things Autism & Neurodivergence. Sandra talks about her journey and experiences to getting her son diagnosed, the hoop jumping, and schools placement. She describes the various processes she went through and what retrospectively was valid and what was wasteful. She talks about what helped and what didn’t. Sandra also shares the emotional, time and financial costs involved. Sandra and Monique discuss ideas for improved conditions both within the education and service provision systems and about how a central systems approach could be far more productive, financially sustainable and less stressful, collectively.

They break down the bio & neuro chemical and physiological effects on the body and brain, if the 4 Pillars of Health which are Nutrition, Hydration, Exercise and Sleep aren’t being applied.

Sandra & Monique discuss how, with so much available information on pillars of health for physical and mental health, it can often seem conflicting and mind boggling. They explore why the “one suit fits all” approach in exercise, nutrition and lifestyle isn’t always best practice for personal, physical & mental health. They explore various ways and options for learning about your own personal constitution and how to apply that knowledge to creating personalised pillars of health for optimised physical and mental health care.

Monique shares her experience of a near fatal stroke in 2013. An ischemic stroke, 2cm infract in the right pons area of her brain. She talks about the post stroke symptoms, some of which included paralysis, incontinence, speech and balance issues and the poor recovery prognosis she was given. She shares how her eventual full recovery was mainly due to the application of functional and lifestyle medicine and wellness.
