ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
Welcome to Episode 325 of Autism Parenting Secrets.
This week, I'm joined by Nadia Elkhatib, host of the Biohacking Autism podcast.
Nadia holds a master's degree in computer science and spent her career in Silicon Valley tech, bringing that same engineer's mindset to more than twenty years of helping her son Jimmy.
Measure. Test. Adjust. Repeat.
Nadia believes parents need to become the CEO of their child's health. That doesn't mean doing everything yourself. It means owning the strategy, understanding the data, recognizing patterns, asking better questions, and building the right team around you.
Rather than continually chasing symptoms, Nadia has increasingly looked to longevity and biohacking for a more foundational answer:
How can we help the body do its job better?
That has led her to focus deeply on metabolic health and nervous system regulation.
We also explore why caregiver health can't be overlooked. The better you function, the better equipped you are to make decisions, lead the journey, and show up for your child.
And Nadia gets a firsthand look at another form of biohacking as we review her All-In Parent Assessment and identify opportunities to make an already strong parent even stronger.
The secret this week is…
