Mother’s Day Gift for Mom’s of Children with Autism & ADHD – Self Care!

By stephani | Published: May 13, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope your Mother’s Day is truly as wonderful as mine has been:

Sleeping in (but just a little because they are so excited to show me the gifts they made!), a cup of coffee with a heart design in the foam by my 9 year old, “Happy Mother’s Day” song to the tune of Happy Birthday, yellow roses (my favorite flowers) from my wonderful husband and a shower of school- and homemade gifts… so much better than typically rushed and stressful school mornings!

Then my husband takes care of the cooking and cleaning up for the day while the kids *try* not to argue and fight, the instigator constantly reminded by the others that it’s Mother’s Day! With 4 kids, there are a few reminders to go around! :) Otherwise, we’ve spent the day just hanging out, playing games and having fun.

As an avid soccer player who has a game on Mother’s Day, my husband has now taken the kids with him to give me a couple hours break – a special treat! Funny how we treasure those moments of peace, but as soon as the kids are gone, we miss them so much!

I’m taking this chance to give YOU a Mother’s Day present…in hopes that you learn or improve the fine art of Self Care. It’s important for any mom, but as a mom of a special needs child with autism or ADHD – it’s lifesaving!

Guide to Self Care: 1 of 12 Fundamental Keys to Our Complete Transformation – A Group Support Program for Special Needs Moms

Since April, we have been focusing on two keys to transformation per month and will continue for a full six months to literally transform ourselves in body, mind and spirit – all while we spend a little time focusing on our own needs, health and well-being.

This Self Care file will give you the tools to help you take a little more time out for yourself and to care for your own needs.

We too often focus on the needs of our family, even more so when our children require more from us than other neurotypical children.

It is critical for YOUR health and well-being to take a step back and nurture yourself. The more you give to yourself, the more energy, peace of mind and patience you will have to give more to your children.

You need to do this MORE than once a year!!!

So, please read through this information, do the journaling exercises included and then use the chart of self-care ideas for inspiration to find creative ways to take care of and nurture yourself!

But, promise me this – commit to yourself to implement these ideas regularly.

Oh, and let me know what YOUR favorite self care habits are. Got ideas not in this file? Share them here!

Natural Foods vs. Processed Foods

By stephani | Published: May 12, 2012

The food that we put into our bodies can improve our health or worsen it, and in more ways than you may be aware. It is more than just a source of energy, more than simple carbohydrates, fat and protein.

Our modern food supply is full of artificial ingredients, additives, pesticides and other chemicals that don’t belong in our food or in our bodies. While supposedly there to make our crops be more productive and to make food look, smell and taste better, they do much more harm than good.

To prevent those processed and packaged foods in the grocery store from going bad, the components of food that go rancid quickly (which are usually the most nutritious!) must be removed and/or additives put in to preserve it. Plus other chemicals are added which create the unnatural colors, flavorings and aromas.

All these chemicals are toxic to the body and the more processed foods you eat, the more toxic your body is!

When you are able to focus on a diet of whole, fresh foods in their natural form, you are providing your body with the source of energy and nutrients that it needs. There is no pill or concoction that can replace the abundance of vitamins, minerals and micronutrients that natural food provides.

Scientists are continually discovering new and increasingly complex ways that the micronutrients in our food support our health and wellness.While additional supplements are beneficial to help repair the body’s poor condition and help provide nutrients that our soils are now stripped of, I don’t mean that they aren’t helpful. We just can’t rely on them to provide us with all the nutrients that a modern, processed diet is missing.

For example, we should be eating a rainbow of NATURAL colors in fresh fruits and vegetables each day for a good reason – All those colors (phytochemicals) have properties that are not only beneficial to our bodies, but critical to our health and well-being.

There is simply no way around it: We need all the micronutrients that fresh, natural food provides!

Connection, Health and Energy – The Complete Support Program for Special Needs Moms

By stephani | Published: April 6, 2012

 

I’m really excited to share something extra special with you today!

I’ve got a brand new group support program for Moms beginning in less than 2 weeks – but there’s only room for 12 members! (In fact, it’s so exciting that before I even send this announcement out, we’ve already got 5 spots filled!)

If you remember, I recently ran the group support program, “5 Weeks Transformation in Body, Mind and Spirit” focused on Moms. It was all about learning how to take care of our own needs as we struggle to “do it all” taking care of our family in addition to having a child with ADHD or on the autism spectrum.

We had such a wonderful time with this program and were beginning to see such good progress and real results in our emotions, energy, mindset and physical well-being that we were sad to see it come to an end! The connection with other moms who understood our needs in a way that no one else can was one of the best parts – we all agreed!

I was so very honored that the participants all asked, “Does it have to end?” and “How can we keep our connection going?” It was truly a deep desire from us all to continue on the path we started and I decided that no, it didn’t have to end! So, I created the perfect solution!

I’ve taken the fun and success of the 5 Week group support program and rearranged it all, plus added some new and exciting information, tools and resources, to create the ultimate version of it.

The best part is: We want YOU to come play with us! :)

Join the “Complete Transformation for Special Needs Moms Support Program” TODAY! (Our first group call is April 14th – less than 2 weeks from now!!)

This new program will run for a full 6 months (a 3 month option is available, plus the option to upgrade with private coaching if you’d like personal support as well). It is designed to give you more time to make these simple yet profound changes and turn them into real habits – a true lifestyle transformation.

It will go deeper with complete support and nurturing connection and just ask the other moms…We’ll have a fantastic time with it!

Here’s what one mom had to say about it:

I loved the 5 Week Transformation Program so much, I signed on for more!!

I looked forward to the regular calls and getting to know others who are having similar experiences as I am. The calls kept me motivated and on track.

The well-organized information, weekly contact with like-minded individuals on the phone and in the Forum, and goal setting along with Stephani’s expertise has made a huge impact on my personal outlook and well-being. I’m glad I did it for me…and my family benefits!

- Kimberly Monfort

Please take a moment to read more about what other moms have to say and discover all this program has to offer [Just click here...]

Remember, there are only 7 spots remaining. I can’t make any more room because I do give a lot of time and energy to every single member. This will be a close group to grow with!

Find out how you can join in the fun today!

Teaching Social Skills with a Kindness Jar

By stephani | Published: March 25, 2012

I’m writing a bit of an off-topic post today. Off topic for dietary information, but yet sharing a great idea for your kids who struggle with social skills like “being kind just because it’s the nice thing to do.”

Yes, most children struggle with basic kindness, but those who have ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders act impulsively without thinking through the consequences or simply don’t understand basic social skills and must be taught (like my son with Aspergers).

We started the “Kindness Jar” with our children and it worked great! Instead of falling into bad habits and letting frustration get the better of them, the kids started TRYING to be nice. It was, of course, obvious and intentional – but good habits have to start somewhere!

All you need is an empty jar and something to fill it, such as dried beans, marbles, small rocks, etc…

The rules:

  1. When someone says or does something nice, put in one bean.
  2. When someone says or does something unkind or hurtful, take out two beans.
  3. Have a goal. For example, a family outing or movie night when it gets full. Just so they actually want to fill it up!

It’s that simple!

Thanks to another mom’s blog post I found via Twitter on “Quirky Momma: Kids Activities Blog,” I was inspired to write this post here.

We were taking out one bean for the negative words and actions, but I loved her reasoning for removing two:

The twist to take the beans out was added to show them that unkindness does a lot more damage than one small act of kindness.  And that it takes a pattern of acting in love, to build up something big, like character.

Let me know what you think! Have you tried this before or has something else worked great for you?

Last Opportunity for Personal Diet Support Until Fall!

By stephani | Published: March 23, 2012

I’m opening up room for 6 more clients this spring! As I write this, before the announcement has even been publicly made, 2 places have been taken. I now have  4 3  2 spots available.

(The last time I sent out an offer like this, I had 5 spots claimed within a week!)

I want to get you set for success, peace and calm. Now. Not later!

Think about it. The school year is winding down. Summer will be upon us before you know it…and then school starts again…

The stress. The frustration. The overwhelm. For your child – and for you!

Are you ready to put an end to the cycle? If you really want to make changes then it truly is THE time to do it.

Wouldn’t you love:

  • An end to the anger, rage and tantrums?
  • Getting through homework without stress and fights?
  • Being able to go out in public without fear of uncontrollable meltdowns?
  • You to hear your child to look you in the eye and speak your name?

No matter the issue, we’ll get through it together!

  • Knowing what foods your child should/should not be eating
  • Learning how to read food labels and save money while eating healthier
  • Avoiding the crazed rush of “What’s for dinner?” and having no idea – except take-out, drive-thru’s, delivery or frozen processed foods.
  • Organizing your kitchen and pantry
  • Getting your child to actually eat new food
  • Staying the course when faced with opposition (whether it be from your child, a well-intentioned family member or just life getting in the way…)

**And so much more…

I promise you that together, whatever it is…we’ll get to the bottom of these issues and get beyond your struggle to real, lasting results. Can you imagine what peace looks like for you and your child – to your whole family – at home, at school and with friends?

I am here in full support of you, to be your personal mentor and keep you motivated, get you answers to the questions you have when you don’t have time for it and to ensure that we finally overcome all this nonsense.

Sound good?  Are you interested at all?

Here is what your 3 Month Support Program includes:

  • Complete support and attention from me from April through June!
  • 1 60-minute initial planning/goal setting session
  • 3 per month 30-minute individual support sessions (by phone or skype) with me personally
  • Weekly “Success Journal” emails with accountability and feedback
  • Access to my personal vault of charts, plans, cheat sheets, family strategy tips and more
  • Free Access to Busy Mom’s GFCF Kitchen complete “Done for You” menu plan and recipe service for a full 3 months!
  • Emergency E-mail and phone access between our individual sessions should a crisis arise and you feel you need help NOW.
  • BONUS: Free enrollment into my brand new live group program dedicated to planning your child’s diet – including live coaching calls, workbooks, how-to menu planning guide, resource guide and more! (All happening in May – the perfect time to complement your private calls!)

All in all, you are getting complete access to me and my resources. You see, when I offer support (“coaching”), I want it to be comprehensive. I want to give you my full attention. I want to you to know you are not alone! While your doctor/therapist is giving you one hour a week (or month!) and then expecting you to figure it out between now and your next session…I’m there when it matters most.

Life happens outside that one-hour therapy appointment or 15-minute appointment with the doctor.

We both know that life happens in that moment, and you need help then…not next week.

So let me ask you this…

How interested are you?

Before I go further, I’d like to share what a couple of other moms had to say after their coaching program with me:

Investing in the 3 month personal coaching program with Stephani McGirr was exactly what I needed to commit and be successful in implementing a GFCF diet for my ADHD and special needs child. We had been experimenting with an almost gluten free diet for several years. With Stephani’s coaching and education, we were finally able to convert 100% and make it a lifestyle change. So when the genetic test for gluten came back positive, it only reinforced the commitment to living GFCF. I no longer cross-contaminate the family’s foods or preparation. And I’m able to plan for all meals, special events and outings to help keep my daughter away from these common allergens. Thank you!

-Sandra Ely,TX

Stephani has been a real lifesaver as I navigate the stormy seas of parenting a teenager on the spectrum! She has been a supportive coach as we worked together to implement a program of healthy eating for my teen. With her guidance and advice, we have stopped the negative cycle of eating too much fast or junk food and moved to a more positive system that involves open communication, planning, teamwork and healthier food choices. I knew we had succeeded when I saw on his Facebook page that “cooking” was one of his interests! Her weekly calls kept mefocused and energized and feeling totally supported!

-Eileen Shaw,CA

 

I could share a few more, but I need to move on…

 

Do you see the value in this type of coaching? When this could mean the end to your frustration and chaos? When this could mean the beginning of a brand new life for your family?

Here’s what I need from YOU right now.

If you are 100% serious about working with me, CONTACT ME and let me know the following:

1.  Your current situation…  What are your biggest problems that you are facing?

2.  How will working with me make a difference in your life or your family’s life?

It’s that simple.

For this type of coaching and access, I normally charge $199 per month, including all email, phone, and resources.

One single hour alone with me, if I could open my schedule up, is $80. (the hourly price doesn’t include my follow-up commitments and time put in for you after the call, but that’s included in this offer!)

Busy Mom’s GFCF Kitchen is $24.95 a quarter. (and that’s included in this offer!)

The new Dietary Planning Group Program will be $97. (and that’s included!)

The magic of getting exactly what you need, like a fairy god mother by your side -priceless! (and yes, that’s included, too!!!)

But for YOU serious 4 3  2 people…4 3 2 more families…you are going to be able to work with me personally for $50 off the regular monthly price! (That’s $150 savings for this 3 month offer – like a full month free!)

***I am going to offer this package to 4 3 2 more SERIOUS people for ONLY $149 a month.***

I am asking you to commit to at least 3 months of working with me. No…you don’t have to pay it all up front.

I just ask you to be open about 3 months because change takes time and it takes time to stick.

(If you are interested in the full 6 month option (only 1 spot available), there are additional bonuses – I like to reward those who give it their all! Like a bonus 2 hour session to organize your kitchen or pantry or a free grocery store tour… Just let me know!)

I can almost personally guarantee that you will notice a difference in 30 days or less – as long as you follow through with your commitments.

But let’s NOT get ahead of ourselves.

If YOU are 1 of those 4 3 2 more people, contact me and answer the questions:

1.  Your current situation…  What are your biggest problems that you are facing?

2.  How will working with me make a difference in your life or your family’s life?

Here’s the thing: I have a lot of things planned this summer, like a visit home across the ocean to visit family in Texas! So this is truly your last opportunity to get my focused, individual attention and help for you and your family – until Fall! (And it’s why I can only commit to 1 person for 6 months…)

Please…your time is valuable, so only act fast and reply if you KNOW this opportunity is for you, your child, and your family.

Serious inquiries only.  And this is first come first served.

Once I get your reply, we’ll schedule a time to talk and I’ll answer any questions you have.

Once I know we are a fit…we’ll get you signed up and schedule our first coaching call.

**************************************
My Personal Risk-Free DOUBLE Guarantee
**************************************

I know that making a financial commitment right now can be a difficult.  I’ve been there before, and I am often reluctant about so-called promises when nothing else has worked in the past.

I’ve been there…  So here’s what I am going to offer you when you sign up as an individual coaching client:

Guarantee #1: If after 30-days you are not satisfied or convinced that our working
together will help you reach our agreed upon goals, I will refund 100% of your money.

Guarantee #2: If after 90-days you are NOT seeing the results we discussed, you will no longer be charged AND I will personally work with you until you start seeing the results we agreed upon.

Are you ready now?

P.S.  I can only offer this for so long.  So I am serious when I say this is for 4 3 people and only 4 3 people.

And I will have to pull this offer when it fills! Last opportunity before Fall! Take action now before you’re faced with school and overwhelm all over again!

P.P.S.  If you need to speak with your spouse, partner, or other dependent, please do so as soon as possible so we can get you enrolled and started.

I am looking for serious action-takers who want and are committed to change.

I can’t wait to hear from you! :)

What Does “Diet for Autism or ADHD” Mean to YOU?

By stephani | Published: March 21, 2012

I’m curious – what does it mean to you when someone says “Diet for ADHD” or “Autism Diet”?

There are so many meanings to the word “diet.” I want to hear what comes to your mind when you hear those words above. Some thoughts to ponder:

  • Is it about supplements?
  • Natural remedies instead of pharmaceutical medication?
  • Dietary changes? Short or long term?
  • What benefits do you think you would get from it?
  • What symptoms do you hope to change?
  • Or, what benefits have you seen with changes already made?

I’m just doing a bit of research on the general public opinion of this topic.

There is NO right or wrong answer here! :) This is NOT a test. It is just me asking you what comes to your mind – be honest and let me know what you think in the comments below.

If you don’t know anything at all about dietary options, then tell me what you’d like to know more about!

I appreciate your time and opinion – Thanks!

Effects of Stress on Parents of Special Needs Children

By stephani | Published: March 20, 2012

As parents of children with ADHD or autism spectrum disorders, we are dealing with extra stress on an ongoing, daily basis. Our sleep is disrupted, our patience is tested to the extreme, our time is limited, our lifestyle is no longer as it once was. What we used to do for fun and relaxation is taken over by the needs of our children.

This is the exact reason why I changed my usual focus from our kids to as as moms in my last group support program. If we are overwhelmed and stressed out, we can’t show up fully to meet the extreme needs of our children with Autism and ADHD. Especially when we are trying to implement new lifestyle changes like diets for our children – it won’t happen if we ourselves can’t get it straight.

I’d like to share this video presentation by Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, a pediatric M.D., who also is the father of a child with autism. He is well known for his work on medical interventions for children with autism as well as those with allergies, chronic bowel inflammation and digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances and more. You can find out more about him at Mending Autism.

Dr. Kartzinel discusses “Ongoing Traumatic Stress Disorder” that we experience as parents to children with autism (and ADHD as well) and the effect it has on our health.

Autism, ADHD and Diet: Is it a Cure?

By stephani | Published: March 7, 2012

I’m often asked if dietary changes are a “cure” for autism spectrum disorders and ADHD.

I whole-heartedly believe that dietary intervention works miracles in our children and are the best alternative to medication for ADHD and autism. They are a crucial part of the healing journey. But a cure? Not exactly.

Let me explain.

We have had great results with dietary and other natural interventions for my son, who has both Aspergers and ADHD. It has been an amazing transformation and we are so very thankful for the improvements we have seen across many areas. (If there is a dietary slip-up, we are reminded of how “it used to be” with a reaction until the food is no longer in his system.)

Since working with other parents, I’ve witnessed the transformation in other children as well. There’s no doubt that dietary changes work when you see children struggling with anger, violence, impatience and impulsivity, lack of focus, sensory processing problems, etc. suddenly behaving, staying calm and patient, concentrating, responding to parents and teachers, finding friends and more.

I’ve been blessed to be a part of a family’s journey on bringing their child out of the depths of lower functioning autism, beginning to speak for the first time ever and responding to the mother. You can’t describe the joy that brings to a family.

In my own experience, and participating in the experiences of the families I work with, these changes are unbelievable when you know where the children started from. You could even say they no longer qualify for the diagnosis.

On the other hand, while they have recovered from the debilitating symptoms, they still have autism, ADHD or whatever diagnosis they started out with. It’s only changed, to a lesser degree of sorts. We all have varying degrees of the traits found classified under these diagnoses. It’s the combination of the symptoms and the point at which it affects your quality of life that make it something requiring a diagnosis and intervention.

When you make dietary changes (with or without other therapies), it takes away the external reasons for these behaviors. It removes, at the root, the core cause of the neurological system overload.

What happens is that they are no longer overwhelmed. No more sensory stimulation that’s sending their nervous system on overdrive. No more foggy cloud of confusion and forgetfulness. No more extreme impatience and irritibility that takes them over and sends them into out of control rages. No more being stuck, unable to communicate even though the desire is so great. I could go on and on…we know how varied it is.

Simply put, it’s no more of the extreme “symptoms and behaviors” that are debilitating and frustrating to them and those around them.

What is left if all that is gone? It’s the person who is really there, under all that noise. Under the disguise of autism or ADHD.

It’s the beautiful part.

The amazing intelligence.

The outside-the-box thinker.

The person who is not afraid to be uniquely themselves.

So, yes they are transformed. But not “cured.” Still Autistic or ADHD…only better!

Strict GFCF or Mixed Diet Household?

By stephani | Published: March 5, 2012

When you are trying to improve the symptoms and behaviors your child struggles with due to Autism Spectrum Disorders or ADHD, dietary changes should definitely be made.

So, you’ve decided to try it out. The next big question is: Do we do it as a whole family or just for the child who “needs” it?

Personally, I’ve tried it both ways in my home. In the beginning, we started out strict GFCF for all 6 of us. Over time, things changed and for several reasons we slipped into pure GFCF for my son only. We were in a saving mode and it was just logical to use non-GF products for the other members of the family.

We have had an odd mix of foods in the house since it hasn’t been strict for everyone. I still bake and cook family meals GFCF, but basic bread items and a few dairy items have trickled in. (This is where organization is important to avoid cross-contamination and accidents!)

I can see now, after a longer period of time off GFCF, that it is beneficial for all of us for different reasons. For undiagnosed ADD-Inattentive type symptoms in my husband, to weight and thyroid symptoms for myself, to eczema for my oldest daughter and my two youngest daughters showing increased unwanted behaviors that they didn’t have before, plus showing dark circles under the eyes (another symptom)… Knowing all I know about food intolerances, I’m certain we all need to go back on the strict GFCF diet again.

I’m being really open and honest about our own personal lives here because I need you to know there is no “final” moment in your dietary changes when you know you’ve done it and that’s it. Things change, you try new things, and if it works, great. If not, change again. I tried it (and though I really knew before that we all needed it, I was open to trying it another way) and now I’m certain we would be better off being strict GFCF for the whole family.

When I put my latest group program together, “Nourishing the Special Needs Mom: 5 Week Transformation in Body, Mind & Spirit,” I knew I was planning on going back GFCF for myself and my whole family. So, I created the program for full-on support for moms and I’m truly participating just as all the other members. It’s been a great group of support for everyone involved.

I had the inspiration to write this blog post to share my personal story thanks to that group program. There is no right or wrong choice, but there are pros and cons to each side. (I’ll be writing about that in the next “Nourishing Journal” article.)

The most important thing about diet (applicable to all of us), aside from food allergies and sensitivities, is to focus on WHOLE, FRESH, LIVING foods, and avoid anything artificial, processed and additive-filled. After that, the individual food sensitivity elimination is something to be determined on a personal basis.

More people are sensitive to these other natural foods than you may realize. If you do the right detective work, you could discover that you and your whole family benefit from the GFCF diet as much as your child with ADHD or Autism!

Be sure to join our free community to read my next article, “Pros and Cons to a Strict GFCF vs. Mixed Diet Household.” (To be published this coming Saturday.)

Is your home a mixed dietary household or do you all follow the same dietary principles? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments below!

Tips for the Best Green Smoothies – Even Without A High-Powered Blender!

By stephani | Published: February 29, 2012

This post was inspired by my group program participants, “Nourishing the Special Needs Mom: 5 Week Transformation in Body, Mind & Spirit.” This group of amazing women is working through diet upgrades to create their transformation from the inside out.

We got into green smoothies and how great they are for us nutritionally, yet how quick, easy and delicious they are! There truly isn’t another “faster fast food” that does a body THAT good! I’ve already written about how green smoothies are nutritional powerhouses and how good they are for our children with ADHD Autism Spectrum Disorders. (Click here for my original post on the benefits of green smoothies.)

Since the moms in my group program are experimenting with smoothies for themselves (we’re focusing on the moms, not the kids!), the green smoothie concept is relatively new to them. We don’t all own high-powered blenders like the Blend-tec or Vitamix, so I’m sharing my best tips for making creamy, smoothly blended smoothies with ANY blender:

  1. Put all the solid ingredients in with wet fruits on the bottom and greens on top. Add *just enough* liquid for your blender to blend it all up smoothly. Then add the additional liquid. This helps the lower priced/older model blenders get a smooth texture in your smoothie without leaving chunks in the mix.
  2. For the extra nutrient additions that are not a powder blend (like flax, sesame or chia seeds, for example) try a coffee blender to get a fine powder blend and add that to the big blender in your smoothie.
  3. Spinach and romaine are the mildest, sweetest greens, and are the best to start out with due to mild flavor. Yet kale, chard and other stronger flavored greens also work great because the fruits really do cover up the taste and texture of the greens.
  4. You DON’T NEED any special blender (although they are nice and I’d love, love, love the Blendtec) OR any special recipes. It’s nice to have a recipe when starting out – but go super super simple. Add your favorite fruits and a handful of greens. The more you get used to it, the more greens you can add.
  5. Using frozen fruit or ice chunks makes it more palatable for those who aren’t used to smoothies. It’s like an ice cream shake. If you prefer a thinner drink, you can, of course, add water or fruit juice to thin it out to a more drinkable consistency if it turns out too thick.

Beyond these helpful tips to make green smoothies without breaking the bank on a high-powered blender, I say just try it! Simply choose one or two of your favorite fruits, a handful of greens to start (you can always add more) and a bit of purified water.

Experiment! Create!

Then tell us how you like it and what works best for you in the comments below!
