Autism: let's Goh!!!

As a doctor myself, part of my job is to keep learning, and to pass on the exciting and powerful things that I find along the way to you!

I've been a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine since its inception in 1991, and have been provided with a multitude of opportunities to learn from brilliant physicians and researchers through its conferences and lectures.

And it happened again today!!! I got to learn from the brilliant Dr. Suzanne Goh! (follow this link to see her remarkable training and experience!)

Here is how it came about. I was invited to view a live stream lecture: Cleveland Clinic Grand Rounds With Dr. Suzanne Goh

From Mitochondria to Music: Integrative Neurological Care for Autism
September 26, 2017 Cleveland Clinic - Glickman Tower, Q2-175C/D
Cleveland, OH

Suzanne Goh, MD, is a board-certified pediatric neurologist and an expert in evaluating and treating children with neurological conditions. As a researcher, she is an expert on mitochondrial function and brain imaging in children with autism. In this free Grand Rounds presentation presented by IFM and Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, From Mitochondria to Music: Integrative Neurological Care for Autism, Dr. Goh shares the latest research on underlying causes of autism and how to address those causes therapeutically.

The complex nature of neurophysiological and metabolic changes in autism reduce the utility of monotherapies. Dr. Goh will elaborate on the range of clinically useful therapies and how those therapies address the underlying causes to help children with autism.

Dr. Goh is not just brilliant and experienced, she is obviously caring,  a skilled communicator, a philosopher, and even has a sense of humor.

One of her slides included the wisdom of E.O. Wilson.

Another, citations of research demonstrating mitochondrial dysfunction in autism.

And she found a way to fit video from Carpool Karaoke with Gwen Stefani into the discussion!

I encourage you to go check out her website at https://www.corticacare.com/ to learn about the remarkable successes that her team routinely achieves with patients with autism.

Be assured,  I will be following Dr. Goh's work! I may even see about heading down to San Diego to meet her and visit her center!
