Latest podcast: The autism triad

In this episode, Emma Sutherland is joined by internationally recognised paediatrician Dr Elizabeth Mumper to explore the evolving understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  

Framed around the triad of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, this discussion moves beyond theory into clinical context. Dr Mumper shares insights on environmental influences, assessment considerations, and integrative perspectives, alongside emerging concepts such as cerebral folate deficiency and the role of the gut-brain axis. 

With autism prevalence continuing to rise globally, this episode offers practitioners a structured, systems-based lens to support clinical understanding and assessment approaches. From nutritional considerations to mitochondrial function and the importance of listening to parents, this conversation highlights key factors shaping current integrative thinking in ASD.
