Puja Network About The Show April 2009's Guests & Topics
Judy Converse, MPH, RD, LD is a licensed registered dietitian and a nationally recognized authority on pediatric nutrition for learning and developmentally disabled children. She is the author of Special-Needs Kids Eat Right: Strategies to Help Kids on the Autism Spectrum Focus, Learn, and Thrive (Perigee, 2009). Converse holds graduate and undergraduate degrees in nutrition from two universities, including a master’s degree in Public Health Nutrition. When her own newborn son was struggling with feeding, illness, growth, and developmental concerns, she sought help from her pediatric group—and was stunned to find that they were unable to help her solve the problems. Converse began applying her nutrition background to solve the problems herself. Not only was she able to address her son’s problems nutritionally, but along the way became one of this country’s leading experts on a nutrition care process for children with autism, ADHD, asthma, sensory processing disorders, learning disabilities, and mood/behavior issues. Judy founded Nutrition Care for Children (NCFC), a clinical nutrition consulting firm that serves families, individuals, and government and private programs in the autism and special needs communities. Located in Boulder, Colorado, NCFC serves children who need and benefit from nutrition care, but who do not usually get it. NCFC provides resources, advocacy, and educational materials to parents, healthcare professionals, and associations, as well as individualized nutrition assessment and care for children. She presents and lectures nationally, and conducts educational webinars through her website, www.NutritionCare.net. Topics include:

Jenny McCarthy is a best-selling author, actress, activist, and mother. When Jenny published Louder Than Words, the story of her successful efforts to help her son Evan recover from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People. But what she hadn’t anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children, who sought her out to share their stories. Since no two autistic children heal in exactly the same way, Jenny expanded her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country in her book Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds. Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthy has now teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to write Healing and Preventing Autism: A Complete Guide, the first book to give parents all the necessary information about biomedical treatment. Jenny is also the co-founder of www.Teach2Talk.com, which produces safe, trustworthy educationally beneficial games, toys and DVD’s, including an DVD educational series that targets core speech, language, play and social skills through video modeling and other techniques that can help children improve their vocabulary, language usage, comprehension, problem-solving abilities, imagination, social skills, play and empathy toward others.

Today's
children face far more challenges than we did as kids. From our governments
to our boardrooms to our health services, corruption, mismanagement
and carelessness are rampant in the world today. As someone once said,
if we truly want to see change in the world, it has to start with
us. If we are truly committed to becoming the best humans we can possibly
be and the best stewards of our beautiful planet, it has to start
with the way we nurture, raise, and educate our children. And it has
to start NOW!
