Brainfood Nutrition Autism ADHD Dr. Angela Taylor

Dr. Angela Taylor is a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, double board-certified in Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine. She currently serves as Adjunct Faculty at Johns Hopkins University and Nova Southeastern University. Her son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 2. He would often exhibit behaviors such as flapping his hands, toe walking, and banging his head on the ground when frustrated. Medical Nutrition Therapy - using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD/GAPS) - proved to be the cornerstone of his recovery process. Within a year he was enrolled in neurotypical preschool, speaking in complete sentences, using pronouns correctly, potty trained, playing with friends, and asking who/what/when/where/why questions. Dr. Taylor discusses the science behind the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) in her book, The BrainFood Cookbook.
