Enzymes and Autism: Gut Health, Diet and Nutritional Balance
An increased understanding of the gut's role in nutrition, immunity and overall health has emphasized the importance of digestive function. Enzyme supplements can add another level of benefit, along with the diet.Proper understanding of enzymes and their function can provide valuable help in addressing specific food intolerances.This lecture will illustrate how plant-based enzymes work, how they are dosed, and how to select the appropriate type of enzyme for individual dietary needs.
