You may see your child engage in unusual behaviours and when you tell your therapists or doctor, they may lump this under "oh this is part of autism" or "that's sensory seeking". But you have done months of therapies (maybe even integrating primitive reflexes) but these behaviours don't budge. That's because these are linked to Candida overgrowth. Telltale sign ? laughing spells, silly, giddy with brain fog. Find the full list in the brand new module dedicated to Candida Overgrowth under Classroom.

Hi All, I have made small changes to the membership program ! So that you guys receive the level of support you are ready for. 1. Membership Tiers: My Membership now has a Free Tier. That has access to only a few modules. You can adjust your membership by going under settings and opting for the level that best works for you for now. 2. Renamed/Re-branded: Since I have been studying Microbiome, it felt like a natural fit to shift the focus of the group as well as the Name of the group to gut health and microbiome. This is what my programs and coaching will be focus on, utilizing lab testing as well. Our platform for lab testing also goes up in a couple of weeks. Will share updated website link here when ready. 3. New Modules: There is a brand new module on "Viral Support" since its back to school ! 4. Guided Gut Health Programs: You have the opportunity to upgrade to my 90 Day Program for Gut & Microbiome Nutrition Program (a 12 week guided program) which I have been put together with all my heart and love. A fully supported week by week program where you'll never have to feel without support or alone again. Will be hosting group coaching calls in here that families in the program can attend with access to a ton of resources, recipes, detox strategies and more. 5. Q&A Calls Frequency: Will release a calendar of calls soon. But have shifted to monthly calls for now. If I see more questions come through, I will change the frequency to more calls ! You will find more families joining in as the group is now open. Please make sure you welcome everyone and share your journey too ! I hope everyone has had a fantastic summer as we head into fall. I look forward to seeing this group grow ❤️

Hi All, Welcome to this space ! I have been wanting to spend time and hang out with you guys more. I realize our time in consult calls is limited. Leaving plenty of questions for you, and a need for support. Thats how I came to the realization for a need for this community. And also a place for me to centralize resources for you. So instead of sending it to each one of you, there can now become a reference portal with a support system built in for you. How do you like the sound of that ? :) Take a second to introduce yourself to others (just drop a few lines below) ! and share with me what are the main challenges you are dealing with, so I can keep that in mind when building resources/content for you guys !

Hi Guys, I have been getting a lot of questions on my Instagram regarding priority of testing and why, so I have recapped the following: - Various types of Gene Testing: Whole Genome Sequencing Vs Microarray/FragileX Vs Methyation Gene testing - Toxin Testing: Mycotoxin + Hair Minerals - The right time to test things like Food sensitivity + Stool Analysis - When to consider testing for neurotoxins like mold mycotoxin Its a short video but it will set you right on how to approach testing ! Feel free to ask questions ! Warmly, Batool
