Okay.
So also medication, big, big subject.
I did a video series where I was trying out medication actual kind of like psyche
meds from, uh, my mental health team to help with ADHD and anger management
and mood swings and stuff like that.
Back in January of last year.
And I will leave a link for that video series down below, but I wanted to kind
of talk about medication, which is non kind of like, you know, pharmaceutical
more kind of like herbal remedies.
And if those can help with any of the condition traits at all, you
know, I'm not talking about holkham stuff here, don't get me wrong.
Autism is not a curable condition.
It's a condition that's developmental and it's lifelong and it can never
be cured, but I just want it to.
See if certain herbal remedies can take the edge off or is
there something we can do?
That's completely natural.
It can help take the edge off.
Certain things could be anxiety, could be whatever stress, whatever it is
that it's causing you issues in your life like this, could these help.
So I've listed out three of the ones that I think, um, have had the
most impact from people's lives.
Um, And, uh, yeah, I'm going to go through all of those right now.
So before I get started, guys, if you are on any medication for autism, and you'd
like to share that with me, I'd love to listen to what you have to say about it.
Put it in a comment down below.
I read every single one, so it's never wasted.
So, um, yeah, and if you're enjoying this video, give it a thumbs up.
It really helps me out and helps you out and helps us channel grow and we
can help more people in the running.
So.
What's going on with you guys.
So the first one I want to talk about is CBD.
Now CBD is a cannabis oil, which is a herbal extract from the hemp plant.
Basically.
Um, in a nut shell it's more complex, um, stuff to it, but it's non-psychoactive, it
means it doesn't get you stoned and it has no kind of psychoactive component to it.
So it's not going to kind of alter your state of mind is literally just like a.
A herbal remedy that you can take.
Now I have, um, spoken about CBD loads of times on the channel.
I've spoken about all kinds of CBD products and all kinds of stuff.
Um, I, once you got to send a bunch of new CBD products today, um, and,
uh, yeah, it just, it's amazing.
It's amazing stuff.
And I do swear by it now, this is very, very good for anxiety and low mood.
These are the two things I use it for and the impact it had.
We went from like being like super anxious where I couldn't even bear being in the
house between eight and 10 in the morning.
Cause the mail man was going to lock the door and put mail through the door
and it wasn't going to really trigger me to the fact that like now I do all this
stuff all the time, it comes to the mail.
I'm like really happy to see all the delivery guys.
And they all know me now.
Which is really, really like, that was like, if I could see that then how
confident I am now with it, life changing.
It was literally life changing.
And my girlfriend, Naomi, she's had really bad anxiety going to work and
stuff like getting up in the morning.
I have really bad anxiety in the mornings.
And so we switched to having CBD in the mornings and it just
completely cut out her anxiety, like just like flipping a switch.
It was ridiculously good.
Um, so we do take anxiety medication, which is basically CBD herbal
remedies for anxiety and low mood.
Yeah.
These are excellent.
Um, and I have a link actually for, um, if for USA and UK, if you want to buy
the specific ones we talk about in here, we talk about you know, CBD gummies are
the ones we take from Yumi nutrition.
So definitely check them out in the description below those I've
put links to every single one.
If you're in USA, UK, there's different kinds of like link for it.
And like some share, you get money off.
If you use the links, I provided its about 10% off or something, but
CBD is definitely worth having a go.
If you are going to try CBD.
Consult your doctor first always consult your medical practitioners before taking
any herbal remedies or any kind of over the counter drugs, because it's always
good to just talk to your doctor and get that advice because you don't want to be
taking something that could potentially impact your body in a certain way.
So definitely check that out.
Okay.
The next one I'm going to talk about is something that I used to take, but now,
because I'm on a, another medication, I can't take this herbal medication or
this kind of more natural medication.
This one is 5 HTP.
Now 5 HTP is a sleep remedy, which is, um, a.
Um, it's more kind of like nocturnal and thinking melatonin.
Cause like when you think about melatonin, And melatonin helps regulate wakefulness.
Right?
But this one has 5 HTP actually helps you with sleepiness basically.
Um, uh, and a lot of artists, if people have issues with sleeping, um,
I have issues with sleeping all the time and then getting to fall asleep.
It takes me forever and sometimes I can't even fall asleep.
So I tried all kinds of things and melatonin was quite a
harsh one to take because it's.
Basically, uh, you know, it's a, it's a hormone that regulates wakefulness.
So, um, it was quite a tough one to take.
I take that if I'm jet lagged and just to get myself back to the body clock,
um, cause it completely knocks me out.
But in terms of 5 HTP, it's more of a natural remedy that
actually creates more of a.
Um, and naturally occurring kind of like sleep remedy within the body.
I took this, I took it for a week and after a week it was fantastic.
It compelled lately gave me just the right amount of sleep without making me feel
like drugged and hung over in the morning
I was like melatonin did.
Give me that feeling a bit groggy and washed out, but 5 HTP.
Give me a sound sleep and maybe wake up feeling pretty great.
I actually have a link as well for the 5 HTP gummies I took.
So they're sweets, you can just like chew on them.
Um, I've had actually asked the question before, like a mum said that
they didn't do anything for her son.
Um, and I said, well, you need to try it for a week first.
So if you do get this, make sure you take it for a week before
judging the outcome, because I took it for like two or three days.
It didn't do anything and I forgot about it and I just felt
I it's never going to work.
And then I took it again for a week and then I was like, wow,
this stuff really does work.
This is really cool.
So definitely.
Take it for a period of time before you can make your judgment on it.
It's really, really cool.
And again, I've left a link for this down in the description down below.
Okay.
So the third one here I'm going to talk about is multivitamins.
Right now I take a bunch of multivitamins to help boost like,
uh, keep me healthy and keeping nutrients in my body right now.
Let me put this, you know, If the autism symbol, could we
change to a chicken nugget?
All the parents out there would be saluting and going.
I get it.
I can't wait the chicken nugget because let's face it.
What's the thing.
People have various diets and the diets are very niche sometimes.
And sometimes chicken nuggets.
The only thing is that we do eat.
I'm a vegan and I still eat vegan chicken nuggets.
It's kind of like my go-to meal having pretty much every day.
So in terms of having.
Um, uh, a nutritious, full diet.
It's not always going to be achievable on the autism spectrum and you're
gonna miss out loads of like a lot of vital nutrients and vitamins.
So I actually take supplements for this, which helps me feel so much more
awake and kind of what it would do because I'm not missing out anything.
Now, the one I'm going to recommend is.
The simple spectrum supplements, which are run by a company.
I absolutely love the people.
I know them personally.
They're really, really nice.
And they sent me a bunch actually, actually, I actually have it here.
This one, this is the one that I take.
Um, it's really, really cool.
Uh, despite the fact that it has a little bit puzzle pieces on the front
of it, um, which is a bit funny and cliche, but this is really good.
My advice is to get it.
It's like a powder.
You just mix it into like orange juice or a smoothie or something.
And it just absolutely works a tree.
This thing is amazing.
Um, and this is not a sponsored ad, by the way, you guys will
not sponsor me to say that.
I'm just telling you from my personal experience, when I use
it, I felt a heck of a difference.
And so I use it as my vitamin boost and morning, and it's a good way to
get all those multivitamins in because.
Let's face it.
Multivitamins will help your body no matter who you are.
So if you're on the autism spectrum, when you've got kind of a diet that was very,
very blunt or bland or beige, then these motive it's definitely going to help.
So please check out, um, simple spectrum supplements that are
literally designed for people on the autism spectrum, especially children.
So it's a great, great company.
