The explosive increase in severe autism has left many parents feeling utterly helpless. But what if there were simple, safe, evidence-based ways to prevent autism? Fascinating new research on prenatal nutrition suggests that we already have the knowledge to dramatically lower the rate of autism. Join Dr. Jeff Zadeh, an internal medicine physician whose oldest son has autism, on a journey exploring the mysteries and potential solutions for this epidemic, such as: • Understanding the vital role of preconception counseling, before getting pregnant • Creating an optimal, nourishing environment from conception to support fetal brain development • Using specific prenatal vitamins five days a week, which has been associated with a 70% reduction in autism risk • Proposed, evidence-based guidelines for healthcare providers and families The evidence collected in Autism Prevention 5 Days a Week comes from impeccable researchers, highly respected peer-reviewed medical journals, and reproducible results. Beyond the research, the book shares real-world anecdotes of healthcare providers seeing remarkable effectiveness over decades. Yet somehow the public-and much of the medical community-remain unaware of this eye-opening research. Accessible and game-changing, Autism Prevention 5 Days a Week offers a glimmer of hope on a topic that could not be more important: the health of our future generations.
