This podcast is hosted by myself, Dr. Matt Zakreski, a clinical psychologist and speaker, alongside our co-host and producer Jake Noonan, an educational coach and humanities teacher. We are here to leverage our personal and professional experiences as neurodivergent specialists to inform and entertain the world around us. And, since we can’t do that on our own, we’ve collected an incredible group of professionals from all walks of life who use their time and talent to support the neurodivergent community. When we know more, we do better, and the goal of the #NooN podcast is to provide our listeners with as much information as possible to make your lives better. Because, as Dr. Matt always says, we can’t always make your lives EASY, but we can make them EASIER – and that is just as important! If you’re neurodivergent, someone who loves a neurodivergent person, or works with neurodivergent people, then Nerding out on Neurodiversity is the show for you. Come on this journey with us! We’ll laugh, cry, learn, and make obscure nerdy pop culture references, we’ll have fun – we promise!

Ep 29 -- Neurodivergent Nibbles and other Snack Hacks, with Jackie Silver!
Today, we have the great joy of sharing great wisdom and perspective from Jackie Silver! A registered dietitian nutritionist, Jackie approaches nutrition counseling through the specific lens of neuro-affirmative care first. If you are someone, or know someone, or know someone who knows someone, struggling with eating and/or nutrition in general, Jackie is the best person to know!
We loved hearing her accessible advice that can genuinely change how someone can experience food, especially as something other than 'just eating the thing'. We also talk about consistency as a critical avenue for shifting perspectives and understanding around food and mealtimes. (How amazing, right?)
Jackie began Accessible Wellness, a team of dietitians specializing in supporting neurodivergent kids. In her work there, Jackie approaches all neurodiversities as unique to the individual -- notably by recognizing and understanding their specific needs.
Her skills and compassion help her work with all types of kids who are autistic, have ADHD, ARFID, and many other specific needs. We loved being able to spend time with Jackie and learn all about the work that she does and her passions, curiosities, and joys.
Thank you for everything, Jackie! 🥳🎉
