Dr. Kimberly Sanders will introduce parents to the basics behind how genetics influence a child’s behavior. She will specifically focus on the MTHFR gene mutation and how it regulates the brain chemicals that control mood, learning, speech and behavior. The presentation will also include what the gene mutation can indicate for parents of any child, including those with autism, ADD and ADHD.
Dr. Sanders is a naturopathic physician practicing in Milford and an associate professor of clinical sciences at the University of Bridgeport. She specializes in autoimmune diseases and using a naturopathic approach to address the immune system.
About Holistic Moms Network
The mission of Holistic Moms Network, a nonprofit support and discussion network, is to connect parents who are interested in holistic health and green living. It welcomes people wherever they are on their own holistic path in an environment that does not judge. The New Haven County chapter follows the Holistic Moms Network’s drive to encourage parents to use their innate sense of what is best for their children and the Earth while learning more about healthcare and parenting options. Living healthy and living green is not an endpoint, but an ongoing journey.
Our meetings, open to the public, are the third Tuesday of each month at the Woodruff Family YMCA, 631 Orange Ave, Milford, CT. Children are welcome. RSVP to Tori Lawlor at tdavisca@aol.com. Visit www.holisticmoms.org or https://www.facebook.com/HMNNewHaven for more information.
