S3: Episode 106 - The importance of presuming competence in our kids and being mindful of the strong correlation between functional nutrition and behavior, focus & cognition

Vaish [/vIEsh/] Sarathy [/sAH rUH thEE/], Ph.D. is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Science Educator, and the founder of Functional Nutrition for Kids - a Functional Nutrition Practice for children, and Plum Pudding Chemistry - a science and math education practice for kids of all abilities. Her TEDx talk "Who decides how smart you are" talks about the value of Assuming Intelligence and has been called mind-blowing and perspective-shifting by practitioners and parents. Vaish believes that Sound Nutrition, an Equal Education, and a Rested Mind are the birthright of every child, and no functional practice is possible without truly Assuming Competence. Her perspective is shaped by her son, Sid, a non-speaking 14-year-old poet with Down Syndrome and Autism, who has a sharp mind and a quick wit.
