“One of the biggest misconceptions about autism is that it’s purely genetic.” 🧠

In this week’s episode of the FMI Podcast, Amber Warren, PA-C, and Dr. Brian Hauser dive into the growing research showing that autism may be influenced by much more than genetics alone.

They explore how environmental exposures, gut health, inflammation, toxins, nutrition, mitochondrial function, and even preconception health may all play a role in neurodevelopment.

And while that conversation can feel overwhelming at first… it’s also incredibly hopeful. 💛

Because if there are modifiable factors contributing to dysfunction in the body, that means there are also ways we can support healing, improve function, and better care for future generations.

This episode is a reminder that children deserve more than symptom management. They deserve care that looks deeper.
