My name is
Mercedes Benadivas
My name is Mercedes Benadivas and I started as a conventional nutritionist who calculated calories for weight loss, but thanks to the arrival of my first son who faced different health challenges, until they finally told me he had mild autism, I became a specialist nutritionist for children with autism. And with him I learned that through nutrition I can transform your child's health within the spectrum so they sleep better, eat more foods, are calmer, with less disruptive behaviors, and improve their gut health.
Many families have experienced both nutritional well-being and emotional well-being, and embark on a path of no return when they adopt nutrition as a fundamental part of their health habits. This is what I do in my practice, use the tools I have learned as a mother but also as a professional to make this process of change and transformation part of your life because nutrition is the change that your child cries out for and needs to be happier! And you too. That's why my program is called Change the nutrition and change your child's autism.
