Biohacking Autism and Caregiver Burnout: When Staying Healthy Isn't Optional - Nadia Elkhatib
Hack My Age : Menopause UpgradeShow Notes
Are you a mom who has put her own health on the back burner because someone else needs you more? Or maybe you're caring for a child with autism or an aging parent and have no idea where to even begin when it comes to your own wellbeing? We cover: What 21 years of caring for a child with autism actually taught one mom about the human body
Why caregivers are silently aging faster and what to do about it before it's too late
The biological layers underneath an autism diagnosis that most doctors never address
The specific blood labs that need to be optimized that could be the first domino for both you and your child
What really happens when you stop sacrificing your health and start treating yourself like a patient too
Nadia Elkhatib hosts Biohacking Autism, a weekly podcast bringing biohacking, peptides, and functional medicine to autism families. Nadia spent years working in Silicon Valley tech before her son Jimmy's autism diagnosis pulled her into a different kind of research entirely. For 19 years she has worked on the integrative side of autism: biomedical protocols and most recently hormone and thyroid optimization. After her own labs surfaced significant metabolic and hormonal dysfunction, she expanded her work into caregiver longevity, the recognition that her own healthspan is her son's safety net. Real solutions for people with autism and the ones who love them.
