Science is just beginning to understand the connection between gut health and brain health. As a result of this research, a third connection has been found – the Gut-Brain-Behavior connection. Children are often prescribed antibiotics for ear, sinus, and respiratory infections. If these infections occur often, the child can end up with insufficiency dysbiosis or a complete lack of good bacteria in their gut (Quid, 2017). Studies have shown that when an imbalance in the gut microbiome of a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is treated, the behaviors associated with this disorder appear to improve (Yang, Fu, & Liao, 2020).

What is the truth? Everyone seems to have an opinion and to them, their opinion is the way it is – their truth. In most cases, the only one the person that opinion can hurt is the person themselves. But what if that ‘truth’ comes from a place you were raised to believe in? How would you know?

In the last two years, the truth – or at least what we have been led to believe is true – has been blasted to us from every channel on our televisions and radios. And we have no reason to doubt what they have been saying … do we? What if the ‘truth’ they are sharing is only one part of the whole story? What if the other part of the story would cause them serious financial harm if the ‘whole truth’ came out? It has happened before. Could it happen again?
