Improve Autism Symptoms Naturally with Diet and Gut Health Support

More peace. More progress. More moments that finally feel like you’re moving forward.

For children with autism and related developmental challenges, nutrition therapy rooted in gut health and real foods addresses what other interventions often miss — helping improve communication, behavior, digestion, and daily connection.

When Lubna helped me understand the gut-brain connection and walked me through changing my son's diet, things started to shift.  My son's therapists and teachers immediately saw a difference, because my son was less hyperactive, more engaged and calmer overall.

What Happens When Diet and Gut Health Are Excluded from Autism Symptom Treatment:

When diet and gut health are overlooked, families are left struggling with pure symptom management. The impact reaches deep — emotionally, physically, and mentally — leaving many parents caught in patterns that feel impossible to break.

Disheartened

You’re doing everything they told you to — but your child is still struggling.

Disconnected

You know your child is in there — but the meltdowns, the discomfort, and the disconnect make it so hard to reach them.

Overwhelmed

You’re holding the entire plan together — therapists, meals, routines — and you’re exhausted. 

 In Crisis Mode

You want to enjoy your child — not just struggle to get to bedtime each day.

Running on Empty

You rarely get a break, and when you do, you feel guilty for not using it to "research more."  

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

 

The Truth is, Diet and Gut Health Are Overlooked in Autism Care

So many families I work with come to me after months — or years — of doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck.

You’ve worked with therapists, followed protocols, maybe even tried changing the diet… and yet the meltdowns, the food struggles, the disconnection — they’re still there.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Lubna Nazarani, a Certified Nutrition Specialist with a Master’s in Nutrition and a Certified GAPS Practitioner.

I help families like yours support their child’s development through a different kind of nutrition therapy — one that goes beyond food lists and trendy diets, and actually addresses what’s happening in the body.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a step-by-step process that helps calm inflammation, nourish the nervous system, and support the gut-brain connection — all in a way that’s practical, based in science, and realistic for your life.

Because when we stop guessing and start supporting the body at its foundation, things begin to shift.

And that’s where real progress starts.

So what happens when you actually get help 
to implement a targeted autism diet?

 Well, here's 3 wins for starters —

1. Clarity You've Been Missing

We start with a deep dive into your child’s history, symptoms, and routines — and I put together a clear, step-by-step plan so you finally know what to focus on, what to let go of, and why it matters.

2. Support You Can Lean On

You aren't left to figure this out on your own. I’m here between sessions to answer questions, adjust the plan when life happens, and make sure you always know what to do next — no spiraling, no second-guessing.

3. Mealtimes That Truly Nourish

I don't just send you a bunch of recipes and hope for the best. We take a step-by-step, gentle, root-cause approach to picky eating — helping your child move beyond processed cravings and begin eating real, nutrient-dense foods that support digestion and development. Mealtimes no longer feel like a battle anymore; they feel like family again.

Here's How It Works:

 

Step 1: Get on my calendar for a Free Strategy Session

This is a no-pressure conversation where you can share what’s going on, ask your questions, and see if this feels like the right next step. I’ll listen — really listen — and we’ll talk honestly about what’s been missing.

 

Step 2: We Build a Real Plan, Together

If we move forward, I’ll start with a deep dive into your child’s history, symptoms, and routines. From there, I’ll create a step-by-step plan that fits your life — no overwhelm, no one-size-fits-all protocols. Just the right next steps, clearly laid out.

 

Step 3: You Start to See Real Change

Little by little, things start to shift. Mornings aren’t as hard. There are fewer meltdowns. Maybe your child tries a new food, or actually sleeps through the night. You feel more calm, more connected — and more like yourself again. It’s not magic, and it’s not overnight. But it’s real. And it lasts.

 

"We are noticing a change!"

I’m not sure if it’s the baths or everything just working together now, we are noticing a change! Yesterday he was trying to take the iPad cover off and he told me “I wanna take it off.” He has never used “wanna” in a sentence before! Also just now when he was leaving for school I said bye to him, and he turned around and said “bye, adios.” 😂

What you get and why it matters

If you’ve been on this journey for a while, you already know how quickly the costs add up — therapies, supplements, specialty foods, programs that promise a lot but don’t always deliver.

The average middle-class family with a child on the spectrum ends up spending $10,000 to $60,000 each year in therapies and treatments. Each. Year. 

That’s exactly why I created this program. I wanted to offer something more focused, more supportive, and actually doable — with a clear plan, consistent guidance, and a partner who understands what you're going through.

So, what exactly do you get? Here’s the full breakdown:

A Deep-Dive Initial Consult
⭐️

where we map out what’s really going on and where to start

7 Bi-weekly Followups
⭐️

to guide, adjust, and support as your child’s needs evolve

Unlimited Messaging
⭐️

between sessions — so you’re never left guessing

Picky-Eating Strategies
⭐️

with full-color templates to help you introduce nourishing foods without battles

Custom Recipe Collections
⭐️

that meet your child where they are

Plus...

⭐️ Unlimited handouts, lists, and how-tos to walk you through every step 

Your cost for all this is
3 monthly payments of $497 each

or 1 payment of $1397.

Note: Because this program is so high-touch and personalized, this pricing is an introductory offer. As demand increases, I’ll be raising rates to reflect the depth of support included.

As an added ⭐️BONUS⭐️ you'll receive a GAPS Guide Workbook —

Your behind-the-scenes handbook on product sourcing, kitchen and mindset prep, wallet-friendly ideas, symptom and progress trackers, tools to help you stay grounded, even on the hard days.

This isn’t just an investment in a nutrition plan for your child...

It’s about shifting their internal environment to feel calmer, more connected, and more at ease in their body.

It’s about making everyday life — meals, mornings, sleep, connection — a little bit lighter.

It’s about you feeling supported, grounded, and no longer carrying it all alone.

This is an investment in real progress and quality of life.

For your child, for you, and for your whole family.
