Hey there, I'm Chelsea. Get to know me a little before Tuesday.
You've got a seat for Tuesday's class. I put these four short clips together so you know who you're listening to and where I started, because it looked a lot like where you are right now.
Chelsea Juels, M.S.
I'm an autism nutrition and gut healing specialist. Before that I was a school psychologist, and now I work as a nutritional therapist for families like yours. I'm also a mom of twin boys who were both diagnosed level 3 autistic and nonverbal. I'm the one teaching Tuesday, and I wrote every text you'll get from us this week.
Four clips, one to two minutes each
2021, my twins diagnosed level 3. ABA, speech and OT. My own footage from that year. Captions on screen, no sound needed.
Gluten-free plus supplements, done in the wrong order. Why it costs families years, and what has to come first.
The four things a child needs before words come: a regulated nervous system, healthy digestion, stable blood sugar, and a brain that can hold language.
Jackie, mom of two boys, both level 3. She cancelled her first call with me, then went anyway. Six months later one is conversational and the other has his first 15 words.
Then and now
My twins, in the plainest terms.
Then, 2021
- Diagnosed level 3 autistic, both of them
- Completely nonverbal
- Woke up every day in misery: screaming, tummy aches, no way to say so
- Ate 2 or 3 foods, all processed
- ABA, speech and OT, and barely moving
Now
- Both speaking in full sentences
- Sleeping through the night
- Eating real food
- Regulated enough to learn
See you Tuesday.
5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern, about 90 minutes, live on Zoom. Camera off is fine. Bring your biggest question. I answer them live at the end, and only live.
Your Zoom link is in the text and email I sent you when you registered. Same link works Tuesday.
