Omega9 and Autism | Role of Plasmalogens in Myelination for better Speech & Cognition

Описание: Why Omega-3 Alone Isn’t Enough: The Case for Plasmalogen Precursors in Autism | With Dr. Dayan Goodenowe

As parents, we’re told that autism is about behavior — speech, eye contact, social skills. But what if the real story starts much deeper — in the wiring of the brain itself? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, neuroscientist, researcher, and founder of Prodrome Sciences, joins me, Batool Mirza — autism mom, holistic health practitioner, and founder of Autism Empowered — to explore how myelination, neuroinflammation, and brain lipids shape cognition, speech, and connection in autism.

Together, we break down:
The science of myelination and why it’s key for brain communication and motor skills.
How neuroinflammation and environmental factors can disrupt brain development.
The link between sensory hypersensitivities and myelination issues.
The difference between omega-3 and omega-9, and why plasmalogen precursors may restore healthy brain wiring.
The role of nutrition and phospholipids in supporting cognition and speech.
How addressing co-occurring conditions (like ADHD, tics, and aggression) through brain health can help.
