The Brain Development Podcast provides parents with a pathway to healing the behavioural and learning symptoms of their Autistic, Dyslexic, ADHD, OCD, Asperger's, Dyspraxic, and Dysgraphic child.
This podcast covers topics like building the foundation of the brain, correcting the behavioural and learning issues you see in your child with a neurodiverse child.
We shared parent success stories, expert insights, how the brain develops, what causes changes in a child's trajectory, how to help your child, gut health, microbiome, supplements, diet, nutrition, lab testing, visual and auditory systems, correcting the trajectory of a child with primitive reflexes, nervous system, photobiomodulation and so much more.
Join us to understand how you can help build your child's brain to let your child shine.

Building Better Brains: Dr. Michael Trayford's Comprehensive Approach to Neurodevelopment
Lara welcomes Dr Michael Trayford, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and neurofeedback specialist, to discuss innovative approaches to addressing the neurological challenges faced by neurodiverse children. Dr Trayford shares insights from his extensive experience at Apex Brain Centres, emphasising the importance of understanding root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. The conversation delves into various diagnostic tools, including QEEG scans, and explores the significance of neuroplasticity in rehabilitation. Dr Trayford highlights the effectiveness of intensive treatment models and the integration of physical, neurological, cognitive, and metabolic interventions to foster meaningful change in patients. The episode also touches on the critical role of diet, environmental factors, and collaborative care in optimising brain health and function.
KEY TAKEAWYS
Holistic Approach to Neurodiversity:
The focus is on understanding and addressing the root causes of neurological and cognitive challenges rather than merely treating symptoms. This involves a comprehensive evaluation of a child's history, lifestyle, and neurological function.
Importance of Intensive Treatment Models:
An intensive treatment model, where patients undergo immersive therapy sessions, is emphasised as more effective for neuroplasticity and rehabilitation compared to traditional weekly sessions. This approach allows for more significant and rapid improvements in cognitive and behavioural outcomes.
Role of Diagnostic Tools:
Advanced diagnostic tools such as QEEG and sLORETA imaging are crucial for understanding brainwave activity and identifying areas that require intervention. These tools help tailor treatment plans based on individual brain function and needs.
Integration of Multiple Disciplines:
Bridging the gap between mental health and neuroscience is essential for effective treatment. Collaboration with various healthcare providers, including psychologists and nutritionists, enhances patient outcomes by addressing both neurological and metabolic factors.
BEST MOMENTS
"My purpose is to help empower parents to understand how they can build their child's brain from the bottom up to invoke change." – Lara
"We fancy ourselves neurological foundation builders... if you don't have proper neural communication, there's really just only so much improvement that you can have." – Dr Trayford
"Neuroplasticity dictates we will continue to be able to be mouldable until we're done." – Dr Trayford
"If we're not addressing the metabolic, we are missing the boat in a big, big way because it's guilty until proven innocent." – Dr Trayford
