About this listen

 Lara and Vicky delve into the significance of lab testing in understanding and addressing the behavioural and learning challenges faced by children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. They discuss how environmental factors, such as mould exposure, viruses, and toxins, can impact a child's brain health and behaviour. Vicky shares insights from the Neural Zoomer Plus test, highlighting how antibodies can indicate immune responses affecting brain function. The conversation emphasises the importance of looking beyond diagnoses to uncover underlying issues that can be addressed to improve children's lives. Parents are empowered with knowledge about lab testing as a roadmap for healing, offering hope for significant improvements in their children's behaviour and learning capabilities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Empowerment Through Lab Testing: Lab testing serves as a crucial tool for parents to understand the underlying factors affecting their child's behaviour and learning, providing a roadmap for healing and improvement. Environmental Factors Impacting Health: Various environmental factors, such as mould exposure, viruses, toxins, and dietary components, can significantly influence a child's neurological and behavioural symptoms, highlighting the need for comprehensive testing. Neural Zoomer Plus Test Insights: The Neural Zoomer Plus test is particularly valuable for identifying antibodies related to brain inflammation and immune responses, which can help explain behavioural issues and cognitive delays in children. Autoimmunity and Behavioural Symptoms: Many symptoms associated with diagnoses like autism can be linked to underlying autoimmune responses, where the immune system mistakenly attacks brain proteins, leading to issues such as OCD and tics. BEST MOMENTS "Lab testing was like a beacon of light throughout, guiding us where to go next." - Vicky "When we delve down deeper into the lab work, we see that there are all these imbalances that are making up the symptoms." - Vicky "Essentially, what we're looking at is the underneath stuff and we're not looking at the top end anyway." - Vicky "If your immune system is continually attacking areas of their brain, that is obviously very unhelpful from a functionality perspective." - Lara SOCIAL/IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@braindevelopmentuk https://www.instagram.com/braindevelopmentuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/larakelly/ www.braindevelopment.co.uk https://thehappyhealthyunicorn.com/ https://thehappyhealthyunicorn.com/1%3A1-virtual-consultations HOST BIOLara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.

GUEST BIO Vicky is mum to her remarkable autistic daughter, Rose. With a BSc in Human Biology and a deep fascination with the human body, she was originally on track to become an NHS dietitian. When Rose’s needs became more complex, everything changed. Vicky immersed herself in learning about autism, neurodevelopment, and root-cause healing, a compassionate, whole-person approach that simply made more sense. From this journey, The Happy Healthy Unicorn was born, a space grounded in both science and heart, created for families seeking real answers and hope. Rose’s transformation inspired Vicky’s mission to help others. Combining science, lived experience, and deep empathy, she now guides families on their own healing journeys, empowering them to restore balance, support development, and unlock their children’s true potential.
