Olga experienced firsthand the transformational power of nutrition when one of her children was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. She did not believe that pharmaceutical drugs could possibly provide a long-term solution to the problem. Instead, she applied her knowledge of orthomolecular medicine to manage her child’s behavioral difficulties and eventually helped him overcome many of them. Inspired by the results, Olga developed a passion for giving hope to and empowering other families who are looking for natural solutions to their health problems. She is currently shifting away from her general practice and towards pediatric nutrition, with a special focus on ADHD and Autism, while maintaining the vital role of Family Health Coach.
