Our journey with Plasmalogens is a personal one. I have been using Omega9 Plasmalogens (Glia Oil, now being renamed to N9) with my own son for the past 1 year. And gains for us have been consistent and steady ! From improved handwriting, cognition, visual processing (ability to track in reading), stronger core and clarity of speech are just some of the gains we were able to see from Day 1. 🧬 Plasmalogens: These are specialized lipids that play an important role in brain cell membranes and neurological health. This is one area I’ve become increasingly interested in after interviewing Dr. Dayan Goodenowe and hearing from families around the world who have reported meaningful changes after introducing them (I’ve been sharing them on my page). Find the podcast link attached! Dosing: I am going to tackle some dosing questions in this post. The recommended dosing on the bottle is 1 ml (which is 20 drops). You can measure this with the little spoon it comes with. But don't start there. Start with just 1 drop. This is powerful stuff and you may find some emotional behaviour, some crankiness in the beginning but if you keep steady and slowly build to 20 drops you will see the shift in calmness, mood and behaviour. Alongside deeper gains I mentioned above. Therapeutically I may adjust the dosing in families that work with me. But 1 ml is the standard one. Timing: It is usually recommended to take this at night or evening because of its calming effect, Glia Oil can promote better/deeper sleep. However I have found when you are introducing this for the first time (infact first few weeks) you are better off giving it late afternoon/early evening until your child settles and adjusts to it. Then you can move it to late evenings. Personally I want calmer evenings so I give it late afternoon. But work with me or your practitioner to find the right time that works for you based on what you are targetting. Can I still give Omega3 when starting Omega9 ? You can but I recommend you don't. Omega9 Plasmalogens create a good foundation for omega3's later. Plus you want to be able to gauge how your child is doing on Omega9 alone. As Omega3 can be too activating for our children (histamine sensitivity, food sensitivities and just unsettled on omega3 is commonly noted)

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, Many of you have shown interest in functional labs and testing. Organic Acid Testing is the one I prioritize above all the other tests. However, some of you are further along your journey, and some of you are right at the beginning. I like to refer to these as Top 5 Tests. If you are interested in testing or retesting any of the labs below, just comment down here, and me or my team will reach out to you personally to assist. Organic Acid Test: A simple urine collection, this is one I use as a starting point to begin constructing a roadmap. You get clear indication into your child's detoxification pathways, candida load, clostridia markers, oxalic acid, neurotransmitter status, B vitamins for methylation, glutathione status, fungal metabolites, and even detailed snapshot on your child mitochondrial function which is what is linked to low muscle tone, delay in gross/fine motor skills as well as Apraxia. Comprehensive Stool Analysis: This is a 3 day stool sample collection and gives detailed markers for gut, bacteria (like staph, strep infections) as well as parasitology. This helps plan what type of detox can be planned esp if parasites are a problem. Hair Metals & Minerals Analysis: A hair strand test, this analyzes what heavy metals your child may be carrying a burden of. This helps us evaluate what is hindering child's cognition, language at the root cause level as heavy metals like lead and mercury (amongst others) are very toxic and will create inflammation which continues to act as a barrier to your child's progress. This test also gives a really good snapshot at your childs essential minerals such as zinc, manganese, selenium (essential for methylation) and even lithium (helps with B Vitamin transport). Mycotoxin Test: This is a urine based test that is specifically testing for mold burden in your child. Mold toxicity turns up as histamine sensitivity, allergies, immune dysregulation, regression and more. So I use OATs to identify patterns that may point to mold burden and run a mycotox test next to confirm the mold exposure. I have been helping families identify mold in their environment as well and plug the ongoing exposure to this neurotoxin.
