You buy organic. You cook from scratch. You read every label, yet your child still has sudden outbursts, sleepless nights, or those unpredictable “off” days that seem to come from nowhere.
They’re the quiet villain in your pantry. They’re called glutamates compounds and they’re hiding in seasonings, sauces, processed meats…, even “healthy” snacks. They overstimulate the brain, inflame the gut, and keep your child’s system stuck in overdrive. Triggering chaos after every “safe” meal. Until you know where these glutamates hide, progress will always feel like one step forward, two steps back.
That’s why traditional “clean eating” hasn’t worked. It never removed the real cause of overstimulation.
You’ll learn exactly where glutamates hide, how to replace them without losing flavor, and how to rebuild your family’s meals into a calm, nourishing rhythm.
