Julie Matthews, CNC: Essentials of nutrition and dietary intervention in autism

I hope you listened to last week's Clinical Rounds teleconference, but if not, you missed an exciting and informative hour of discussion. Bernard Rosen, Ph.D., talked about the relationship between poor nutrition and erectile dysfunction. Basically, he said, three specific nutrients can go a long way in reversing a man's erection difficulties: Grape seed extract, omega-3 fish oils, and the amino acid arginine. You can listen to the presentation on our Designs for Health website. If you don't yet have a password to the professionals-only section, drop me an email and I'll get you set up.

Designs for Health offers all three supplements Dr. Rosen recommends. Ask me for details, or see the printed or the online catalog.

Today I found an article about the best-selling book Eat This, Not That by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding. The article discusses nutrients for improving sex, and includes "high-performance" recipes for breakfast, snacks, smoothies, lunch and dinner. The recommendations even include a nice glass of red wine.

Tonight's (Feb. 6) Clinical Rounds teleconference features Julie Matthews, CNC, who will be discussing the nutritional needs of autistic children. She is the author of a book on diet and nutrition for autism, Nourishing Hope: The Essentials of Nutrition and Dietary Intervention for Autism.

"The more I learn about different imbalances, the more I'm convinced that most chronic disease stems from a combination of environmental exposures and genetic predispositions (sometimes created by toxin exposure). In addition to the toxins in our world, the stressful attitudes and beliefs we hold as a culture and individually, all affect our health. Proper nutrition helps to naturally balance the body's systems and aids in restoring overall health." — Julie Matthews

Next week's (Feb. 13) Clinical Rounds teleconference will feature Sam Visnic, an expert at designing corrective exercise programs that produce results both in the rehabilitative and sports performance settings. Sam's articles have appeared in many sports magazines and on many bodybuilding and fitness websites. His popular video-program End Your Back Pain Now! uses the system he has successfully implemented with hundreds of clients with chronic pain.

The teleconference tonight — Wednesday — begins at 9 pm. Email me for the phone number and passcode.

Calls usually last about an hour.
