Understanding the Surge in Developmental Disorders: A Biomedical and Nutritional Perspective – The Science Behind Treating More Than Just Symptoms
Over the past few decades, there has been a dramatic rise in developmental disorders worldwide. Autism rates have increased by 300% since 1997, now affecting 1 in 36 children in the U.S. Developmental disabilities have risen by 17%, ADHD diagnoses increase by 3% each year, and other childhood conditions—such as diabetes, cancer, and obesity—have also seen significant spikes. These alarming statistics raise critical questions: Why are these numbers increasing so rapidly? What factors are contributing to this surge?
Traditional approaches often focus on managing symptoms without addressing their root causes. However, growing biomedical research suggests that imbalances in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and detoxification play a major role in behavioral and emotional challenges. The biomedical approach, rooted in functional medicine testing, scientific research, and clinical experience, aims to treat these underlying causes through targeted nutritional and nutraceutical interventions.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
• The rising epidemic: Understanding the increase in developmental disorders and potential contributing factors.
• The biomedical approach: How functional medicine identifies and treats underlying imbalances.
• Case studies and clinical insights: Real examples of improvements through biomedical interventions.
