Blueprint: The Ultimate Autism-Support Meal – Brain, Gut, & Neurotransmitter Balance

Introduction & Concept

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is linked to brain function, gut health, neurotransmitter imbalances, and inflammation. Nutrition plays a critical role in reducing sensory sensitivities, improving focus, stabilizing mood, and enhancing overall well-being.

This Autism-Support Meal is designed using functional medicine, gut-brain connection research, and neuroprotective foods to:

✅ Support cognitive function and neurotransmitter balance for better focus and learning

✅ Improve gut health and digestion by reducing inflammation and promoting a healthy microbiome

✅ Stabilize blood sugar and mood swings to prevent irritability, hyperactivity, and emotional dysregulation

✅ Reduce sensory overload and anxiety by promoting calming and anti-inflammatory nutrients

✅ Enhance detoxification and reduce oxidative stress to protect the brain and nervous system

This meal follows a gluten-free (GF), casein-free (CF), soy-free, and anti-inflammatory approach, using brain-boosting, gut-healing, and mood-balancing superfoods to optimize neurodevelopment and emotional well-being.
