Educating a child with a disability isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're a parent or educator who refuses to give up on your child's potential, you're in the right place. Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy [mom to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome], this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child's learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or arbitrary busy work. Together we explore how to: - Break learning barriers so your child with Autism / Down Syndrome / ADHD can learn complex Math and Science - Make teaching and learning at home a flow state - Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools - Use Non Linear Education strategies to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again: in your child, and in yourself.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/non-linear-learning-rethinking-education-for-neurodivergent-learners-717057"},"episode":{"title":"197 Beyond Burnout: GABA Support, Mitochondria, and Realistic Help for Parents of Autistic Kids","slug":"197-beyond-burnout-gaba-support-mitochondria-and-realistic-help-for-parents-of-autistic-kids","published_at":"2025-11-17T05:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/non-linear-learning-rethinking-education-for-neurodivergent-learners-717057/197-beyond-burnout-gaba-support-mitochondria-and-realistic-help-for-parents-of-autistic-kids","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/non-linear-learning-rethinking-education-for-neurodivergent-learners-717057","url":"https://nonlinearlearningpodcast.com/197-beyond-burnout-gaba-support-mitochondria-and-realistic-help-for-parents-of-disabled-kids","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/functionalnutritionforkids/Podcast_Vaish_Audio_.mp3?dest-id=1502153","summary":"If you're parenting an Autistic child and living in a state of constant alert ( sensory overwhelm , dysregulation , sleepless nights , meltdowns , and the never-ending to-do list), this episode gives you a concrete biochemical map for how to get back to baseline. In today's conversation,I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr board certified internal medicine physician, certified practitioner of Health Optimization Medicine, and COO of Troscriptions , a company making physician formulated, precision-dosed buccal troches for focus, stress, sleep, and immune function. We talk about: What is the \"sympathetic spiral of doom.\" What GABA deficiency actually looks like (and why calming down isn't as simple as \"go meditate\"). Why mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation show up so strongly in autistic and disabled kids and how supporting cellular energy can actualy reduce hyper-excitability. The real problem with giving kids 10–20 supplements at once. How targeted support can help caregivers feel better now , while they work the longer game of diet, lifestyle, and environment.
