Exploring Root Causes of Autism:
A Functional Medicine Approach
For the parents asking, “Why isn’t anyone talking about this?”
You’ve tried everything they told you to try—and you’re still looking for answers.
If your child has received an autism diagnosis, you’ve probably heard a version of:
“The only FDA-approved therapies are antipsychotic medications and applied behavioral analysis (ABA).”
“We don’t know what causes autism.”
“Changing diet, environment, or nutrition won’t make a difference.”
But you know there’s more to the story.
You can feel it in your gut. You see it in your child’s struggles.
And you’re not wrong to want deeper support.
That’s why this course exists.
A new path—grounded in science, rooted in hope.
In this self-paced video series, Dr. Emily Gutierrez, DNP, IFM-CP, CCN, FMAPS, teaches the same integrative and functional medicine approach she uses every day with families in her clinic.
You’ll finally understand what might be going on beneath the surface—and how to support your child’s brain, body, and behavior with practical, science-backed strategies.
