Kids and Sugar Both on and off the Spectrum

Jared Skowron, ND

Children are wired to seek sweet flavors because of energy demand of their growing brains and bodies. Naturally sweet foods from veggies and fruits are designed for these energy needs while refined carbs and processed sugar put an unnatural stress of their organs and nervous system. Children with spectrum or developmental disorders can be especially sensitive.

We will discover:

• How sugar affects memory, focus and mood in children
• Mineral and vitamins that are depleted by consumption of sugary foods and soda
• How unbalanced blood sugar can affect growth and learning
• Nutrition for healthy brain and gut development throughout childhood
