  • Food Chaining and Mindset Shifts: A Journey to Healing Through Nutrition

    Food Chaining and Mindset Shifts: A Journey to Healing Through Nutrition
    2025/09/11
    In this episode of the Brain Development Podcast, hosts discuss the challenges parents face with picky eaters, particularly in children with neurodiversity. They welcome Vicky Finlayson from Happy, Healthy Unicorn, who shares her insights on the gut-brain connection and the importance of a healthy diet for improving behaviour and learning outcomes. Vicky emphasises the need for a tailored approach to dietary changes, highlighting strategies such as food chaining and the significance of mindset in the process. The conversation also touches on the addictive nature of certain foods and the impact of gut health on emotional regulation and overall well-being. Listeners are encouraged to embrace small, manageable changes and to seek creative ways to make food enjoyable for their children, fostering a positive relationship with eating. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset Matters: Parents' emotional states significantly impact their children's willingness to try new foods. Approaching mealtime with calmness and no attachment to the outcome can help children feel more secure and open to change. Gradual Changes: Transitioning a child's diet should be done in stages, especially for those with strong food preferences. Small, manageable changes, such as altering the shape or texture of familiar foods, can help ease the child into a more diverse diet. Food Addiction Awareness: Many common foods, particularly those high in gluten and dairy, can be addictive due to their effects on the brain. Recognising this can help parents understand the importance of removing these foods to promote better health and behaviour in their children. Gut Health is Crucial: A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall well-being, including mood regulation and immune function. Parents should focus on nourishing their child's gut with a variety of whole foods to support brain development and reduce inflammation. BEST MOMENTS "If your child was addicted to heroin, would you keep giving him the heroin? Or would you just remove it and go through the withdrawal, which you will get? But actually to help them for the greater good." - Vicky "Your mindset in this is so important. If you are serving food from a place of desperation, fear, and anxiety, your child is so sensitive because they have neuroception." - Vicky "The way I like to liken this... is that if you imagine your child's gut as like this beautiful garden... you have to have vegetables and you have to have diversity." - Vicky "You can actually break it down. And I think that's what you've really taught me." - Lara HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain. The Building the Brain Podcast is for parents needing to understand how to help their children and show them what can be done to change little lives to allow them to shine and be their best version.

  • Building Better Brains: Dr. Michael Trayford's Comprehensive Approach to Neurodevelopment

    Building Better Brains: Dr. Michael Trayford's Comprehensive Approach to Neurodevelopment
    2025/09/04
    Lara welcomes Dr Michael Trayford, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and neurofeedback specialist, to discuss innovative approaches to addressing the neurological challenges faced by neurodiverse children. Dr Trayford shares insights from his extensive experience at Apex Brain Centres, emphasising the importance of understanding root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. The conversation delves into various diagnostic tools, including QEEG scans, and explores the significance of neuroplasticity in rehabilitation. Dr Trayford highlights the effectiveness of intensive treatment models and the integration of physical, neurological, cognitive, and metabolic interventions to foster meaningful change in patients. The episode also touches on the critical role of diet, environmental factors, and collaborative care in optimising brain health and function. KEY TAKEAWYS Holistic Approach to Neurodiversity: The focus is on understanding and addressing the root causes of neurological and cognitive challenges rather than merely treating symptoms. This involves a comprehensive evaluation of a child's history, lifestyle, and neurological function. Importance of Intensive Treatment Models: An intensive treatment model, where patients undergo immersive therapy sessions, is emphasised as more effective for neuroplasticity and rehabilitation compared to traditional weekly sessions. This approach allows for more significant and rapid improvements in cognitive and behavioural outcomes. Role of Diagnostic Tools: Advanced diagnostic tools such as QEEG and sLORETA imaging are crucial for understanding brainwave activity and identifying areas that require intervention. These tools help tailor treatment plans based on individual brain function and needs. Integration of Multiple Disciplines: Bridging the gap between mental health and neuroscience is essential for effective treatment. Collaboration with various healthcare providers, including psychologists and nutritionists, enhances patient outcomes by addressing both neurological and metabolic factors. BEST MOMENTS "My purpose is to help empower parents to understand how they can build their child's brain from the bottom up to invoke change." – Lara "We fancy ourselves neurological foundation builders... if you don't have proper neural communication, there's really just only so much improvement that you can have." – Dr Trayford "Neuroplasticity dictates we will continue to be able to be mouldable until we're done." – Dr Trayford "If we're not addressing the metabolic, we are missing the boat in a big, big way because it's guilty until proven innocent." – Dr Trayford HOST BIO Lara Barnes, a successful woman in tech, found herself managing behavioural, learning, and speech difficulties with her son. She learnt functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.

  • Empowering Parents: How Primitive Reflexes and Sensory Input Can Change Lives

    Empowering Parents: How Primitive Reflexes and Sensory Input Can Change Lives
    2025/08/28
    Lara speaks with Jen, a mother navigating the challenges of raising her son Will, who was born with a cleft lip and palate and later received an autism diagnosis. Jen shares her unique journey, detailing the struggles they faced, including Will's early feeding issues and communication delays. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding and addressing underlying developmental factors, such as primitive reflexes and sensory processing, to foster Will's growth. Jen discusses the transformative impact of working with Lara, including the implementation of sensory inputs and exercises that have significantly improved Will's speech and social interactions. This episode serves as an inspiring reminder for parents that there are alternative pathways to support their children's development beyond conventional diagnoses. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Primitive Reflexes: The discussion highlights the importance of primitive reflexes in child development. These reflexes should integrate by the age of 12 months, and retained reflexes can hinder a child's progress. Exercises to integrate these reflexes can help children develop essential motor skills and coordination. Holistic Approach to Diagnosis: The conversation emphasizes that a diagnosis, such as autism, should not be the end of the journey. Instead, it encourages exploring various avenues, including sensory input, dietary changes, and developmental assessments, to understand and support the child's unique needs. Sensory Input and Its Impact: Utilizing sensory tools, such as the ResiMax and specific sound frequencies, can significantly aid in a child's development. These tools help stimulate the brain and integrate reflexes, leading to improved focus and calmness. Importance of Lab Testing: Conducting lab tests, such as organic acid tests, can provide valuable insights into a child's gut health and nutritional deficiencies. Understanding these factors can guide dietary adjustments that may alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "I always, always believed that there was more to go on and to look into and really, like, I wanted to tap into who he actually is rather than his restrictions." - Jen "I was so desperate and so overwhelmed I thought this is the priority right now I am gonna put everything else to one side." - Jen "You can actually see what's going on inside the brain. You can see those alpha, beta, delta waves." - Lara "It was like another boost of hope of like, you know, this child will be able to do all the things." - Jen HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain. The Building the Brain Podcast is for parents needing to understand how to help their children and show them what can be done to change little lives to allow them to shine and be their best version. GUEST BIO Jen is a warrior mum, mum to Will, both born with a cleft lip and palate. Their account @dontgetlippyuk was created to share their experience and the impact this condition has. As Will was growing, Jen noticed that Will was missing or delayed with achieving developmental milestones, along with having a speech delay. Wondering how much of their medical journey had impacted Will and wondering what was next, Jen started looking at ways to support development and progress. Through a friend, Jen met Lara.
