The interview

What is your name, where do you live, and what is your profession?

Hi, my name is Sonia. I live in Dublin, and I'm a healthcare professional.

What were you struggling with before working with Belen?

I was really struggling with two of my children who have autism. There's a very important side of autism that I didn't look at, which was the gut health. I have been going through a rough time for around four or five years trying to do everything possible to help my son specifically, but it was not going anywhere.

How did you find out about Belen Optimum Health?

I then got a reference from a friend, and she advised if I could contact Belen, maybe she could be of help.

What was your experience during the initial consultation?

We had a consultation, and at the very first appointment, it did make sense. Whatever assessment she gave just added up to why the children were having so much difficulties. She really looked at the root cause of the problem. She was very open, and there was no pressure for any sort of treatment.

What changes did you have to implement at the start of the program?

The shift was profound. I had to change everything, so it was like a 100% change of whatever the treatments were for the children and what medication and supplements we had in place. It was a long, difficult journey, especially in the start.

When did you first notice a difference in your children?

On the third week, we could see that both the children were remarkably calmer. They were more grounded and felt more connected to the world around them. They were genuinely thriving in the third week already.

What specific improvements have you seen in your son and daughter?

My son is non-verbal, but there's no communication barrier now; he's able to calmly communicate what he wants. He sleeps eight to nine hours without any medication, which is huge for a child on the severe spectrum. My daughter, who is verbal, now has phrases and sentences. Their underlying gastro issues are gone, and they are eating more varieties of food.

What would you say to other parents considering this program?

I would strongly urge any parents who feel stuck or hesitant to take this step. It is definitely a missing piece of a puzzle that probably they are searching for. It's a game changer overall.

Full transcript

The difference since I started the program with Belen has been life-changing. There's no communication barrier. My son, he's non-verbal, but there's no communication barrier. He's able to very calmly, you know, communicate what he wants, what he doesn't want. My daughter, she is verbal, but there was no human-to-human communication, and now she has phrases. Like, she's calmer. She has a few sentence. Just in a few month, like we only started in June for our daughter. That has been, you know, like amazing. I think with Belen the difference is we have now kind of addressed the root cause of what was making inflammation and gastro is-issues. So for us, the difference that it made in our life meeting Belen, it's like we have unlocked the children potential. Hi, uh, my name is Sonia. I live in Dublin, and I'm a healthcare professional. So before working with Belen, I was really struggling with two of my children who have autism, and there's a very important side of autism that I didn't look at, was the gut health. So I have been going through rough time for good few years, for around four, five years, trying to do everything possible to help my son specifically. It was not going anywhere really, so I then got a reference from a friend, and she advised, you know, if I could contact Belen, maybe she could be of help. It was amazing to kind of, you know, just come across such a person. I was often told that we just have to accept, you know, the behavior issues that will come and developmental challenges. We really struggle a lot, especially when it came to kind of the diet side of it. We really struggle with both children. So we had a consultation. And once she spoke about everything, I think at the, at the very first appointment it did make sense. Whatever she said, whatever assessment she gave, it just add up kind of to why the children were having, like so much difficulties. So she really looked at the root cause of the problem and, um, from the very first appointment we were like, "You know, she's the one." Like, she... You know, we are not going anywhere. We were very much convinced and all the facts that she's kind of put on the table. She was very open. There was no pressure for any sort of treatment. It was just an open, you know, kind of, you know, consultation, and it was amazing. We learned so much. It's been a long, difficult journey, especially in the start. The shift was like kind of profound for the children. You know, the way we used to live, the, the way we started our day was different. Then I had to change everything, so it was like 100% change of whatever the treatments was going to give to the children and what medication, what supplement we had in place. But on the third week we could see that both the children were kind of remarkably like calmer. They were more kind of grounded. Felt they were more connected, you know, to the world around them. For the first time in many years, I would say like we felt kind of the joy was restored in the house, the way the children were behaving. They were genuinely thriving in the third week already, and they have reached like a milestone now, to be honest. Like o-on something that we, we thought was out of reach. Um, so that was massive. That was huge progress. But in terms of specifically sleep was great. Now my son sleep his eight, nine hours. For an autistic children who is on a severe spectrum, like that's huge. He's able to sleep without any medication. Um, he sleep eight, nine hours, no problem, and so does my daughter. The diet has become much better. He's eating more varieties. They had kind of underlying gastro issues, both of them, and they would be very upset like all the time, even at night. As of today, like this is gone. There was a lot of overall improvement. I would personally say to parents that based on my personal experience, I would strongly urge any parents who feels stuck to take this step or hesitant. I would say to them that it is definitely a missing piece of like, of a puzzle that probably they are searching for and to definitely go for it. It's a game changer overall.
