n this honest and empowering episode, Greer Jones is joined by Greer McGuinness, a registered dietitian, autism mom, and researcher dedicated to helping families understand the real connection between gut health and autism.

Together, they explore what evidence-based biomedical interventions look like in everyday life — and how parents can make meaningful changes without burnout or guilt.

• What current research says about gut health and autism

• How to start small with realistic dietary and environmental changes

• Common nutrition myths and what actually helps
