  • LIPIDS Are The Missing Link
    Jul 25 2024

    Welcome to Episode 214 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

    Dr. Doniparthi is the founder and medical director of Doniparthi Neurogen NeuroGEN Academy (DNA), a non-profit advancing education and research in neurodegenerative diseases, developmental disorders, and autism.
