Autism Spectrum Support

From Dr. Bryan Rade ND: My focus on supporting individuals on the autism spectrum stems from my studies with the Autism Research Institute's (ARI).  My approach is biomedical, meaning that I am familiar with some of the important biochemical differences that can impact the health of someone on the autism spectrum versus a neurotypical individual.  Clinical experience - along with parent feedback in the case of pediatric patients - has shown that dietary, nutritional and nutraceutical interventions can produce a profound benefit for individuals on the autism spectrum if they are struggling with health challenges in the first place.

Some of the supports we offer at ECNC include:

  • Gluten-free/casein-free diets (or additional dietary changes if needed)
  • Gut healing measures (e.g. probiotics, anti-yeast/fungus agents)
  • Methylcobalamin ("active B12") administration
  • Glutathione deficiency correction
  • Heavy metal detoxification (if determined to be necessary after testing)
  • Correction of nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, zinc, taurine, etc)
  • Correction of metabolic imbalances as determined by lab testing (correction of methylation cycle issues, immune system deficiency, pro-inflammatory factors, etc)

It is crucial to note that support for individuals on the autism spectrum is 100% individualized.  That is determined by taking a detailed clinical history (discussing the history of the condition, health in general, health history before symptoms arose, prenatal history) and pursuing lab evaluation where necessary, including:

  • Comprehensive stool analysis (CSA) and/or yeast stool culture and sensitivity
  • Urine amino acid profiling
  • Urine organic acid profiling
  • Urine provoked heavy metal testing

Some of the health benefits from using a biomedical approach for individuals on the autism spectrum could lead to improvements in symptoms such as:


  • Sleep issues
  • Digestive issues
  • Problematic stimming
  • Irritability
  • Speech challenges
  • Impaired non-verbal communication
  • Hyperactivity
