From prevention to treatment, we use a variety of services, systems of medicine and unique vantage points to create comprehensive individualized treatment plans for each patient. We have extensive experience solving complex pediatric cases using the most current laboratory testing and nutraceutical treatments. We treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, developmental delay and autism, neuroimmune syndromes, sensory processing disorder, food sensitivities, eczema, leaky gut and related gastrointestinal disorders, and more.

At Neuronutrition Associates, we see both children and adults.

We were founded on the belief that while allopathic medicine is essential and lifesaving, it has limits when it comes to chronic illness, lingering symptoms, and optimizing health.

→ That is where functional and integrative care comes in.
→ Not just adding years to your life, but adding life to your years.
→ Not just helping your kids “get through” another school year, but helping them truly thrive.

We partner with families across the lifespan to uncover root causes and build care plans that create real resilience.

Does Leucovorin treat autism?

Dr. Emily breaks down the nuanced answer and the essential 2-step strategy for success. Hint: it starts BEFORE the prescription.

The data from 7 studies point to one area of core improvement in particular. Would you like to know what it is and how to apply the protocol? The full explanation can be found in the masterclass.

Teaching kids why food matters is where real health begins 💚

Jana recently spent time with 5th graders talking about nutrition, fueling their brains, and building habits that can last a lifetime. These are the conversations that plant seeds early, and we’re so proud to be part of them!

At Neuro Nutrition Associates, we provide personalized, functional, and integrative medical care for children, families, and adults navigating complex health concerns.

Our team specializes in root-cause medicine, looking at nutrition, genetics, immune health, environment, and nervous system function to understand why symptoms develop and how to support lasting wellness. We believe families deserve clear explanations, collaborative care, and treatment plans built around the whole person and not just a diagnosis.

Welcome to thoughtful, evidence-based care designed to support real healing.

Research shows that high-dose folinic acid (leucovorin) may support core autism symptoms, including speech, in some children.

This masterclass explains why form and dose matter, why blood folate or B12 levels don’t always reflect what’s happening in the brain, and how folate receptor antibodies and genetics can influence response. It also clarifies why leucovorin is not a magic solution and must be used as part of a comprehensive, root-cause approach that includes cofactors and oxidative stress support.

🎥 Watch our free on-demand masterclass, “Leucovorin in Autism: An Evidence-Based, Clinically Informed Approach,” to learn how this research is being applied thoughtfully in real-world care. Comment LEUCOVORIN below for access!

Here’s the nuance most people miss about bioidentical hormone therapy: it IS made in a lab, but it is molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. When estrogen or progesterone binds to its receptor, your body recognizes it as its own. This is very different from birth control hormones, which are NOT molecularly identical and can behave differently in the body.

Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We may start with patches, oral micronized progesterone, or compounded options to allow precise dose adjustments while monitoring symptoms and labs over time.

This is personalized care, not guesswork, and for many women, it is the difference between surviving midlife and actually feeling like themselves again.

Fueling the baby’s brain starts before birth.

Omega-3s, especially DHA, are vital for your baby’s brain and eye development in the third trimester and beyond. Since your little one can’t produce enough on their own, your intake directly supports their growth and long-term neurodevelopment. 🧠✨

Choose clean, high-quality sources like cold-water fish or a trusted supplement to nourish both of you.

Eating healthier can feel overwhelming, especially at the grocery store. You’re not imagining it. Marketing makes it look simple, but the front of the package doesn’t tell the whole story.

One of the easiest ways to cut through the confusion? Turn the box over and read the ingredient list. Even if something says gluten-free, organic, or non-GMO, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good choice.

What you’re looking for is simplicity. Fewer ingredients. Ingredients you recognize. Foods that are as close to their whole form as possible. If you flip over a jar and see a long list of added sugars, oils, or fillers, that’s a sign to put it back.

Small habits like this make a big difference over time. One label at a time is enough. 🛒

What if anxiety, depression, or developmental delays weren’t just “chemical imbalances”, but signs that folate isn’t reaching the brain?

At Neuronutrition Associates, we often use the Folate Receptor Antibody Test (FRAT) to uncover hidden blocks. When folate can’t cross the blood-brain barrier, the brain struggles to make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. That’s where Leucovorin (high-dose folinic acid) comes in. It bypasses the blocked pathway and uses a “back door” to deliver folate into the brain.

For some patients, this means improvements in:
✔ Anxiety and depression
✔ Cognition and behavior
✔ Expressive language and play

We’ve prescribed Leucovorin safely for over a decade, with careful, individualized dosing. For many families, it’s a missing piece of the puzzle.

Watching your child suffer leaves a lasting impact.

On Dr. Nancy O’Hara’s Demystifying PANS/PANDAS podcast, I shared how many parents carry real trauma after months or years of unanswered questions. Even when treatment helps, future infections or flares can trigger that same fear and vigilance all over again. Healing matters for children and for the parents who have been carrying the weight alongside them.

You’re not alone in this. Comment ‘TOXIC LOAD’ below to listen to the full episode!
