NFAR PARENT'S GROUP
Zoom Virtual Meeting
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021
6:30 - 8:00 pm
Topic: Nourished: An Introduction to Nutrition-Based Wellness for Child and Family
The foods we eat are our primary source of fuel for powering our minds and bodies. If we subsist on a diet that is heavily processed/refined, chock full of additives and preservatives, and lacking quality nutrients, we are only limiting our capacity to be truly amazing humans. If we instead chose to celebrate our bodies, by nurturing them with whole, properly prepared, nutrient dense foods… then just think of what we can become! Dr. Huarte will present an overview of the core foundations of health and nutrition, what the evidence actually says, essential steps for dietary modification in Autism and ADHD, and will provide some helpful take-away tips for transitioning to a real food diet.
Guest Speakers: Caroline Huarte, PhD, BCBA-D, FNTP, of Nourish & Flourish Holistic Psychology, Inc.
Dr. Huarte is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She has worked in the field of Autism and Developmental Disabilities for 22 years, starting out as a behavioral therapist and spending her more recent years in executive level management of an ABA company. Autism has not been a job for her, but a calling. Dr Huarte's other true love and passion is health and wellness, with a focus on nutrition. She recently founded her own company (Nourish & Flourish Holistic Psychology) focusing on the integration of holistic nutrition and mental health services. Her services are tailored to each person's bio-individual needs, with a focus on whole-family wellness. She believes that parents should have a choice about how to help their kids labeled with behavioral issues, so they can use drug free and natural remedies to help their kids focus, do better in school, and have the best chance for personal success as they grow up.
