As a holistic pediatric practice supporting children with autism and ADHD, we pay close attention to everyday foods like nut butters and fruit jams because they show up in so many meals and snacks.

Many conventional nut butters and jams are loaded with added sugars, seed oils, artificial flavors, dyes, and preservatives. These ingredients can contribute to gut inflammation, blood sugar spikes, and behavioral dysregulation in sensitive children.

We recommend nut butters made with simple, real ingredients. Just nuts, and sometimes salt. No seed oils, no added sugars, no fillers. These provide healthy fats and protein that support brain development, stable energy, and improved focus.

For fruit jams, we look for options made with real fruit, minimal ingredients, and little to no added sugar. Cleaner jams reduce unnecessary sugar overload and help protect the gut microbiome, which plays a key role in immunity, mood, and attention.

Small swaps matter. When the gut is supported, the brain can function more calmly and efficiently.

If your child struggles with digestive issues, hyperactivity, mood swings, or energy crashes, it may be time to take a deeper look at ingredient quality and gut health.

If you need personalized guidance, functional testing, or a nutrition plan tailored for autism or ADHD, we’re here to support you.

Hopeful for the future of Autism, moving from a “sick model” to a holistic, hopeful mindset. The key? Understanding that food is medicine, environmental factors matter, and symptoms are improvable.

We’re turning a corner. The goal isn’t just a label It’s improving a child’s quality of life, which lifts up the entire family

13 years in neurodevelopmental care has taught us:
✅ Keep an open mind.
✅ Look at the *whole* child.
✅ See that behaviors like picky eating, sleep issues, and constipation CAN be improved.

There is hope. Every family deserves to know that.

Many autism and ADHD behaviors are rooted in the gut, not just the brain.
When digestion is inflamed or imbalanced, it can impact:
• Behavior
• Focus
• Sleep
• Sensory regulation

At Glow Pediatrics, we look beyond symptoms to address root causes.
✔️ We run functional testing to identify food sensitivities and gut imbalances
✔️ We look for inflammation, dysbiosis, and poor digestion
✔️ We create personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans to support healing and regulation

How integrative pediatrics approaches autism differently

I don’t just treat symptoms I look at the whole child.
Sleep, gut health, nutrition, environment, and stress all matter.

Poor sleep, picky eating, teeth grinding, or emotional dysregulation aren’t “just autism” they’re clues.
Instead of asking what medication fits this, I ask:
Why is the gut–brain connection struggling?

Medication has its place, but root-cause support comes first so kids can thrive long-term not just cope.

Many children with Autism & ADHD detox more slowly, which means even tiny exposures can trigger behavior changes, sleep issues, sensory overload, or gut problems.
But detoxing for kids should never be extreme no fasting, no harsh cleanses, no quick fixes.

A gentle, integrative detox focuses on:
✔️ Supporting the liver + detox pathways
✔️ Reducing toxic load
✔️ Healing the gut & balancing the microbiome
✔️ Restoring minerals + hydration
✔️ Nourishing with whole foods
✔️ Safely moving the lymphatic system

When we support detox pathways the right way, parents often see better mood, focus, digestion, sleep, and sensory regulation.
