Lynn Altieri-Need came into this world questioning everything. She passionately believes that chronic health conditions in children, no matter how serious they appear to be, can be improved or overcome, because she’s lived it herself as a child, as a mother and as a practitioner. Until now, Lynn has been limited by the number of clients she has been able to manage which is why she founded Kids Health 101 Podcast. Her intention is to reach tens of thousands of parents around the world that can give their child a better chance at health by delivering life-changing tools through her podcasts.
As a child, Lynn at the age of 13 was diagnosed with endometriosis and experienced debilitating pain on a monthly basis for 13 years. Drugs and surgery did NOT work. In 1996 she changed her diet. Her pain ceased. No drugs. No hysterectomy. She’d been at the mercy of medical doctors and at both ends of the nutritional spectrum. Nutrition alone brought me chronic relief.
As a parent, her son experienced multiple seizures a day. He was given a grim prognosis. The most rigid nutritional ketogenic diet for her son, was not enough. Nutrition for him was just the tip of the iceberg. Lynn explored a functional path to healing. He is fully recovered for 8 plus years (and every day is a gift). No drugs. No brain surgery. He has a renewed chance at a fully functioning life.
The key is to find the right tools, so the body can heal.
As a practitioner, Lynn has helped countless individuals improve their health with symptoms that include autism, seizures, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalances, allergies, digestive issues and so much more,using a systems approach rather than a symptom approach, as an F.D.N. Practitioner. You can read her testimonials here (insert link). She offers functional support, identifying metabolic dysfunctions, dietary interventions and environmental supports to help children heal. Please refer to her 1-on-1 consultation page for information on labs to order, services that she offers and how to begin your healing journey.
Lynn has pursued the certification as a F.D.N. practitioner and have studied at the Academy of Functional Medicine in extensive modules including vitamin, amino acid deficiencies, neurological disorders and gastrointestinal disorders. Nutritional supports as well as exploration into H.I.D.D.E.N stressors (Hormone, Immune, Digestive, Detoxification, Environment and Neurotransmitters) has done wonders for many clients, both young and old. Lynn is trained in Autism Mastery, identifying and addressing the most complex biochemical dysfunctions. She also has training training in BioIndividual Nutrition: helping families identify the best possible diet for their child. I research weekly to keep current and updated and have written several Ebooks. I have a following on Facebook and at my websites Advocate for Healing and Nutrition for Seizures.
Kids Health 101 will feature articles and podcasts intended to reach thousands; those not limited to one community but to anyone in the world that has access to the internet. Lynn took this vow when my son “miraculously” recovered. Kids Health 101 podcasts will discuss everything from how to get our children to eat healthy (for all ages), nourish our teens, get supports for all types of symptoms (yes ADD, Asthma, Allergies and Autism are symptoms!) and help us parents feel empowered. Please join Lynn in this crusade and share this website with other parents.
Lynn has two beautiful children: Lainey, 17 and Koa age 14 and an extremely supportive fun loving husband. The kids bring her so much light, humor into my life while training me in tolerance. She and her family lives in beautiful Mammoth Lakes where she loves to hike, bike, run, ski, and live in the outdoors.
