Collaborating with Purdue, Food & Nutrition Science

Combining the strengths of industry scientists, advanced clinical nutritionists, and academic faculty drives impactful outcomes-based research to improve the lives of individuals with autism. With Triada as our Philanthropy lead, we invite plant geneticists and agronomists to the Table!

We aim to drive impactful outcomes-based research to improve the lives of individuals with autism. In our scenario, innovative technologies and interventions combine with knowledge of how nutrient-dense interventions restore order, support neurodevelopment, and improve overall health. Our academic affiliations provide the research framework, ensuring rigorous scientific methods and contributing to a deep understanding of autism's complexities.

The convergence of industry scientists, clinical nutritionists, and academic faculty drives powerful, outcomes-based research focused on enhancing the lives of individuals with autism. With Triada at the helm of our philanthropic initiatives, we invite plant geneticists and agronomists to join our mission!

Our objective is to pioneer research that yields significant health benefits for those with autism. By merging cutting-edge technologies and therapeutic interventions with our knowledge of nutrient-rich strategies, we aim to restore balance, support neurodevelopment, and elevate overall wellness. Our strong academic partnerships lay the groundwork for rigorous scientific inquiry, providing profound insights into the complexities of autism.

We believe in the power of collaboration. By uniting these diverse scientific fields, we foster a comprehensive approach to clinical trials that can lead to remarkable outcomes:

- **Enhanced Patient Outcomes:** Tailored interventions that address various underlying imbalances can significantly boost effectiveness.

- **Increased Research Efficiency:** Our collective expertise streamlines the research process, minimizes redundancies, and accelerates the rollout of innovative solutions.

- **Groundbreaking Innovations:** Cross-disciplinary teamwork nurtures creativity, driving unique breakthroughs that can transform care.

We are committed to advancing the design, execution, and success of clinical trials, benefiting patients and pushing the boundaries of nutritional medical science. Join us in this vital mission! Means integrating these diverse scientific fields to create a holistic approach to clinical trials. This collaboration can lead to:

• Improved Patient Outcomes: Interventions can be more effective and personalized by addressing multiple underlying imbalances.
• Enhanced Research Efficiency: By combining expertise, we streamline the research process, reduce redundancies, and accelerate the development of new approaches.
• Innovative Solutions: Cross-disciplinary collaboration fosters innovation, leading to unique breakthroughs.

We aim to significantly enhance the design, execution, and outcomes of clinical trials, ultimately benefiting patients and advancing nutritional medical science.

According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 36 8 year old children are identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). (2020) This estimate comes from the CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. The prevalence of ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, and it is nearly 4 times more common among boys than among girls.

Carla Heiser, MS, LDN, FAAMFM, ABAAHP, co-Principal Investigator, specializes in integrating advanced medical nutrition strategies to optimize health outcomes. Her focus is on applied biochemistry to develop patient-centered nutritional programs. Carla excels in connecting, collaborating, and leading teams through her commitment to strategic alignment, ethical leadership, and impact-driven execution.

Lori Varas, BS, CFMC, co-Investigator and leader of the Precise Health Solutions Clinicians, advocates for science-based food and nutrition strategies that significantly improve outcomes for individuals with Autism. With a background in chemistry, environmental contamination, and health education, Lori's team addresses the root causes of symptoms and diseases to restore health balance.

Collaborating with Purdue University, Dr. Anita Panjwani, co-Principal Investigator, brings her expertise in bench science, human nutrition, and public health research to the team. She focuses on enhancing health spans by addressing the accessibility and appeal of nutrient-rich foods. Her research includes studying the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory phytochemicals in preventing and treating chronic diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Together, the team's research aims to improve individuals' health spans by tackling issues related to access to and the palatability of nutritious and therapeutic foods. We believe that a clean eating strategy combined with sustainable practices—rather than a restrictive "diet" approach—provides sustainable solutions that can be implemented in low-resource settings, ultimately benefiting those in greatest need.Carla Heiser, MS LDN FAAMFM ABAAHP, co-PI specializes in blending advanced Carla Heiser, MS, LDN, FAAMFM, ABAAHP, co-Principal Investigator, specializes in integrating advanced medical nutrition strategies to optimize health outcomes.
