🧠 Exploring Neurofeedback: Autism, Gut Health, and the Vagus Nerve 🌟

Autism affects the brain in ways most treatments never address. Jay Gunkelman, one of the world's most credentialed EEG experts with over 500,000 brain scans reviewed, and Dr. Mari Swingle, author of i-Minds, break down exactly what autism looks like in the brain — and how neurofeedback, gut health, and the vagus nerve connect to real outcomes for kids and adults on the spectrum. If you're a parent, clinician, or researcher looking for answers beyond medication and behavioral therapy — this is the conversation you need to hear. 🎙️ Jay Gunkelman has worked in neurofeedback for over 50 years.
