9. Addressing Autism from the Soil to the Kitchen with Carla Heiser
58m | Jan 21, 2026What if the health challenges we see in our children begin long before food ever reaches the plate? In this episode of Go With Your Gut, I sit down with Carla Heiser, research scientist and founder of Triada World, to explore how soil health, farming practices, and food quality shape human health—especially for children with autism. We talk through Triada World’s groundbreaking PEARL study, which follows families from soil to table and examines how reducing toxins and improving food quality can shift biological markers in just twelve weeks. Our conversation weaves together regenerative agriculture, functional nutrition, accessibility, and community-driven change. Because when we care for the soil, we begin to care for the gut—and the future of our families.
