Dr. Vaish Sarathy speaks with Dr. Kendall Stewart (former surgeon turned functional medicine + genomics clinician) about the biochemistry of learning: how inflammation, metabolic factors, neurotransmitter balance, and genetics can influence regulation, sensory stability, and why some kids respond to interventions while others don't.

What we cover:

  1. Why progress can look like "good days/bad days" when inflammation fluctuates

  2. Nutrigenomics vs exome sequencing vs pharmacogenetics (and why personalization matters)

  3. A parent-friendly clinical framework: inflammation → autophagy/insulin tendencies → neurotrophic factors → glutamate/GABA → methylation

  4. Sensory stability (vestibular/visual) and why eye contact can reduce listening for some learners

  5. Microbiome basics: inflammation load, butyrate, absorption/biofilms
