BPA, Autism & the Developing Brain | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Therapy Podcast

Jay Gunkelman, Joy Lunt, John Mekrut, Anthony Ramos, and Santiago Brand go live for a Brain Bar panel that pulls no punches — and Anthony drops a Nature Communications study mid-show that stops everyone cold. Boys born to mothers with high BPA levels are 3.5x more likely to show autism symptoms by age two and 6x more likely to be diagnosed by age eleven.The panel also takes on the DSM, photobiomodulation, and the single most important distinction in the field — we train brains, we don't treat them.🎙️ Panel: Jay Gunkelman (500K+ brain scans), Joy Lunt, John Mekrut, Anthony Ramos, Santiago Brand, Pete Jansons (host)🧠 What You'll Learn:🧬 Why BPA in mothers is linked to dramatically higher autism rates in boys — live reaction to new Nature Communications data📋 Why the DSM has never been valid and what that means for how we work with clients🔬 The critical difference between treating and training — and why it changes everything💡 What photobiomodulation actually does to EEG frequencies and why pairing it with neurofeedback works🌍 Why neurofeedback is exploding internationally while the US lags behind🛠️ Why no head-to-head comparison of neurofeedback modalities has ever been done⏱️ Timestamps / Key Moments:🎙️ 0:56 Panel opens — Joy, Santiago, Anthony, John, Jay all in🩺 4:15 What to actually ask your doctor about neurofeedback — Joy Lunt⚡ 8:06 We train brains, we don't treat — the field's most important distinction📋 18:04 The DSM was declared invalid when it came out — Jay Gunkelman🌍 29:24 Neurofeedback is exploding internationally — Santiago Brand🔬 50:48 Photobiomodulation and the EEG — Jay breaks it down🧬 1:14:47 Anthony drops the BPA/autism study — 3.5x effect, Nature Communications🩸 1:16:11 How would you even test for BPA?
