Unlocking the Brain: Dr. Kyle Daigle on Healing Neurodiverse Children Through Functional Neurology
Lara Barnes engages in a compelling conversation with Dr. Kyle Daigle, a leading expert in functional neurology and author of Cracking the Code of Autism. Together, they explore the intricate relationship between brain health, gut function, and environmental influences that affect neurodiverse children, including those with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.
Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Daigle shares valuable insights on addressing root causes such as inflammation, chronic infections, and the neurological impact of modern living. He also introduces innovative, non-invasive treatments like cranial nerve stimulation and intranasal probiotics, underscoring the critical role sinus health plays in supporting cognitive development.
This episode is a must-listen for parents and caregivers seeking a deeper understanding of neurological health and actionable steps to support their child’s development. Dr. Daigle offers a message of hope and practical tools to help children reach their full potential.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Brain-Gut Connection:
The brain’s health is tightly linked to the gut and sinus systems. Inflammation, infections, and poor gut function can significantly affect neurological development and behaviour.
Critical Early Years:
The first two years of life are foundational for brain development. Maternal health, toxins, nutrition, and early stimulation all influence long-term neurological outcomes.
Role of Cranial Nerves:
Cranial nerves regulate essential sensory and motor functions. When these nerves are disrupted, it can lead to imbalances in brain activity that impact learning, focus, and behaviour.
Environmental Toxins Matter:
Exposure to microplastics, mould, preservatives, and other toxins is increasingly linked to neurodevelopmental delays. Creating cleaner environments can greatly reduce risks for children.
BEST MOMENTS
Dr. Daigle:“The brain controls the immune system. Today’s society is highly toxic—developmental delays often begin at conception.”
Dr. Daigle:“If the brain can’t regulate facial tone, sinus infections can migrate into the brain and gut, impacting overall neurological health.”
Lara:“Many primitive reflexes are tied to facial structure. Reducing fungal or bacterial infections in the nose directly supports brain development.”
Dr. Daigle:“Vaginal delivery seeds a baby’s immune system via secretions. C-section babies miss this crucial step, affecting early development.”
