Autism Spectrum Help in Wheat Ridge: A Unique, Drug-Free Approach
At Omega Functional Health, we’ve been offering families a unique, holistic approach to supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder for over 10 years. Unlike conventional therapies, our non-invasive methods target both brain and gut health through advanced neurological rehabilitation, sensory integration, and metabolic care. By addressing the root causes of autism symptoms, we help children improve their behavior, emotional regulation, and developmental progress—without the use of drugs or surgery.
What Our Patients are Saying
What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact socially, and process information. It is characterized by challenges in social skills, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties with verbal and non-verbal communication. Autism can also involve sensory sensitivities or difficulties processing sensory information. The severity of symptoms varies widely, ranging from mild to more significant challenges, making it a “spectrum” disorder. Early intervention with therapies targeting social, cognitive, and sensory development can help improve outcomes for individuals with autism.
What are the Challenges of Autism?
Autism presents a range of challenges, particularly in areas of emotional regulation and sensory processing. Individuals with autism often experience emotional dysregulation, meaning they can struggle to manage strong feelings like frustration, anxiety, or anger. This may lead to outbursts or shutdowns, especially in overwhelming situations. Additionally, sensory issues are common, where everyday sights, sounds, or textures can feel intensely overwhelming, making certain environments or activities difficult to navigate.
Despite these challenges, many individuals with autism possess extraordinary talents or skills in specific areas. Often referred to as savant abilities, some people with autism demonstrate exceptional capabilities in fields like mathematics, art, music, or memory. These areas of genius often co-exist with other challenges, allowing them to focus intensely and excel in ways that neurotypical individuals might not.
How do You Help Children with Conditions like Autism Spectrum Without Using Drugs or Surgery?
We help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using a holistic, drug-free, and non-invasive approach that targets both brain and gut health, setting us apart from traditional therapies like Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech Therapy, or Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA).
While Occupational Therapists focus on improving fine motor skills and daily functioning, and Speech Therapists work on communication challenges, we go deeper by addressing the underlying neurological and metabolic dysfunctions that contribute to symptoms. Our approach focuses on enhancing brain development and sensory integration through neurological rehabilitation techniques, such as neurofeedback, sensory-motor integration, and primitive reflex integration. These therapies help improve coordination, emotional regulation, and overall brain function.
In contrast to ABA, which emphasizes behavior modification through repetitive learning and reinforcement, we aim to restore functional brain connectivity by addressing functional disconnections and hemispheric imbalances that are common with autism. We also incorporate metabolic care, addressing issues like gut health, food sensitivities, and inflammation, which are often linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
By combining neurological rehabilitation, sensory integration therapies, and metabolic interventions, we offer a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that helps children with autism thrive, without the need for drugs or surgery. This whole-person approach allows us to not only address the symptoms of autism but also optimize long-term health and development.

We use a holistic, non-invasive approach that targets brain and gut health through neurological rehabilitation, sensory integration therapies, and metabolic care to address the root causes of neurodevelopmental challenges.
Unlike OT, Speech, or ABA, which focus on skill-building or behavior modification, we address underlying brain dysfunctions and metabolic imbalances, offering a comprehensive solutions that supports long-term development focusing on under-integrated, under-connected and under-regulated systems in the brain.
Our evaluation includes a detailed assessment of your child's neurological function, sensory processing, motor skills, balance, and metabolic health, using cutting-edge tools to pinpoint areas of dysfunction that contribute to their symptoms.
We offer a range of therapies including neurofeedback, interactive metronome, chiropractic adjustments, sensory-motor integration, and metabolic interventions like gut health and nutrition support.
Improvements vary, but many families begin to notice positive changes within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the child’s unique challenges and the consistency of care.
Yes, all of our therapies are non-invasive and safe for children. They are designed to gently stimulate brain development and improve neurological function without discomfort or harm.
Parents play a crucial role in their child’s treatment. We encourage active involvement, offering guidance on at-home activities and regular updates on progress to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Our office is conveniently located in Wheat Ridge and we serve patients from the Denver metro including Arvada, Lakewood, Golden, Denver, highlands ranch and castle rock
