Why should you listen to us?
Imagine what your life would be like if your days weren’t consumed with fear, tantrums,
confusion and a constant hunt for solutions, experts, answers and solutions for your child? What would
your days look like if you could have the life and the peace back (the way things were before)?
What would you do with your time? What dreams would you have? We are both mothers of
children who have been turned around. That’s why we are passionate about sharing this process
with you.
Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson:
I know how it feels to go f rom chaos to peace,
freedom, health and clarity. I have made all the mistakes
we are going to teach you to avoid. From believing
there’s nothing you can do, to forcing your child to
eat an arsenal of supplements and soldiering through
extreme exclusion diets. Spending fortunes on tests
and practitioners. None of it with the desired effect.
It wasn’t until I understood the formula for turning
autism around and the importance of doing THE
RIGHT (simple) things IN THE RIGHT ORDER, that I
saw a real change (and continue to see changes), in
my son. Some of the pieces for his and my healing
journey (the anger, anxiety and mood
swings) I only found recently (4 years ago)
when meeting Dr. Barendse. We are sharing it all
with you.

This is me before. My son was diagnosed with infantile autism, when he was 5 years old. I thought
I had lost my life and my future and I was constantly anxious and fearful. I could not take my eyes
off my son, because he would throw himself in front of cars, jump into swimming pools, run away
or have a tantrum or a fit of aggression.
Today, he is no longer lining things up, stimming, rituals, picky eating, sleepless nights, lack of
eye contact or melt downs. In fact, his life is as close to a neurotypical pathway as you can get. Today,
no one would guess that he was ever diagnosed. He is 20 years old, passed all his exams, has a job
and his own music production company. He is the most calm, empathic, loving and caring person
on the planet.
I wrote a bestselling book about our journey and it became a #1 Best Seller (still holds the record
for bestselling non-fiction book in Denmark, where I am originally from). It sold 180,000 copies (the
equivalent of 6 million copies in U.S numbers). My book created a health revolution in Denmark in
2008. Since then I have coached thousands of women in my online health courses and received
prizes for my company and business model.
Dr. Barendse, PhD. is the Founder of the Nutrigenomic Medicine Centre. Her passion is to help
anyone for whom a one-size-fits-all approach to disease or disability is not working. She brings a
unique perspective to patient care, having been a prize-winning researcher, author, speaker, lecturer
and consultant to the pharmaceutical industry before focusing on genomics and nutrient therapy
in complex developmental conditions.
More than twenty years ago Dr Barendse began her
own search for better answers to health challenges,
starting with her own family. Since then, her profound
understanding of the complex interaction between the
genetics, biochemistry, microbiome and environmental
history of one unique person has helped bring remarkable
changes in health and wellbeing to children and parents
around the world.

We know that a brave Warrior mom (like you)
looking to turn autism around and get their
lives back, probably already knows...
1. You won’t find all the answers in the established system.
2. You need a holistic approach to see real change.
3. Food and lifestyle matter.
4. You have probably also heard of children who go from melt-downs, sleepless nights, ritualistic behaviour,
picky eating, lack of eye contact to a much better place or even a life without those symptoms…
But here’s what you might NOT know about the pillars to turn autism around…
Understanding the Framework and The 6 Pillars to
Turning Autism around AND Going Through Them in the
Right Order Can:
Replace frustration and overwhelm from trying EVERYTHING with little to no results and increase
the speed and results from the lifestyle and diet changes.
Will minimize set-backs and stress because you don’t have to do more. You will realize that so many
of the things that make you feel stressed and stretched are the things you don’t need to hold on
to. You need to calm down, take a breath, do less and follow certain steps in the right order instead.
Set you free because you finally know how to cure the “what-do-I-do-next” syndrome. You’ll know
how to choose the next step for your child and how to test and adjust diet and lifestyle without
having to involve anyone else (not even your child).
Stop the endless conflicts, battles and chaos, because you learn why these happen, what you need
to do to unscramble them and why it happens FOR healing. Not AGAINST healing.
Make you invincible, when you realize that you already have all the healing tools and that YOU
are more powerful and important for your child’s healing journey than ANY expert. You’ll know how
to use that power to make real changes in your life and for your child.

Doing things the “opposite way” is the key to success.
Most autism parents start with the last step miss out on the steps (1 - 5) that are key to success. They BEGIN
their journey by looking for experts, diets, detox treatments, therapies, protocols and supplements to treat the
SYMPTOMS. Here’s the problem: That’s the LAST step in the autism turnaround formula for change. That’s like
going for your driving test without taking driving lessons. It won’t work.
You need to build the foundation f irst (we will get to steps 1 - 3 in a moment) because it’s the
foundational steps that make diets, lifestyle changes and tests succeed.
Foundation = your leadership, nature and ancestral health. That’s the wheels for your car. The driving
lessons before the test.
In other words...it’s time to stop wasting money on tests, supplements and experts. We want you to
BECOME the healer by getting the best information in a way youcan understand and implement, so you can
focus on what really matters. Your child.
Take your child through the 5 foundational steps
to turn autism around FIRST, to return to your internal
healing power.. Often this is enough to see big changes.
If your child still has issues, then (and only then) will you know
that you have done everything possible before spending money
on expert help. This step can literally save you years and
thousands of dollars.
Tried everything with no results? Feel like you can’t
do anymore?
If you are like most warrior moms, you have invested
time and money on tests, detox treatments, OT, ABA,
supplements and healthy foods or autism diets. If you
are like most warrior moms - chances are that you
haven’t seen the improvements you hoped for. Or there were
improvements that didn’t last.
The good news is that most autism diets, protocols or therapies (if not all) have huge gaps, they miss the
pillars that are crucial to turning autism around and they don’t take you through the process IN THE RIGHT
ORDER. Done right, there’s HUGE potential in a lifestyle and diet change. The good news is that the best
solution is found where you probably haven’t even looked yet. The key to turning autism around is right in
front of you. Actually it’s within you, your home and right outside your window.
Because no protocol, supplement or diet will work for every child and because every child’s need for
food and supplements change ALL THE TIME, we can’t tell you what your child needs. No one can. Not
even the most expensive experts who say that they are telling you the truth. But you can learn how to
read, test and find the right food and lifestyle for your child and become the leader of your child’s healing
journey. That’s what we are here to show you.

6 Truths You Must Know About Diet and Lifestyle
Changes for Autism
Feeling overwhelmed because of conflicting advice? Confused about whether one of the many “autism diets”,
supplements or protocols will work for your child? Maybe you have even tried them all with little to no result?
You are not alone. Here’s the truth nobody tells you.
1: There is a lot you can do with lifestyle and nutrition for autism.
The science is there (more about that under links and resources). Most experts simply don’t know how
to find it and put it all together. Also, new research and scientific advances are released every week. The
field of epigenetics, nutrigenomics and autism is rapidly evolving. We learn so many things about autism
biotypes every month that it’s incredibly hard to keep up. Nobody can keep up at the rate of speed of which new
knowledge is surfacing.
2: The reason why there are so few children who have been turned around
is that virtually NOBODY (not even the most expensive experts or the most dedicated moms) are
doing THE RIGHT things in the RIGHT order. Most experts start with testing, detox or diets and protocols. That
simply doesn’t work. Tests, detox and diets are the LAST steps in the healing journey, not the first. Most experts
have missing links or gaps in their approach. Without ALL of the steps completed in the right order - there
will be no significant and sustainable change. In this guide, we will take you through the exact steps and the
order in which to complete them.
3: “One size fits all” diets and protocols are dangerous and won’t work
There is NO single protocol, diet, supplement or expert who will be THE SOLUTION for your child. Believing
that there is a magic bullet is the BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION in the autism community. Why? Because EVERY
CHILD IS DIFFERENT. What makes one child better WILL make other children on the spectrum worse.
What to do then? The only solution is that YOU become the expert. You become “The Healer”. You become
a leader. You educate yourself so that you know more about your child’s needs than any practitioner and
become the leader for your child’s autism journey. That’s what we have created The Autism Turnaround
Nutrition & Lifestyle Academy for. Your intuition and instinct is the key to THE SOLUTION for YOUR child. Your
intuition is needed in order to choose the perfect food, experts, tests, supplements and lifestyle for your child.
We will teach you how to access that knowledge and the confidence to apply it.
4: The biggest missing links in the autism community
This is what no one tells you about autism. There are many biotypes (underlying issues) of autism. These
physiological/biochemical imbalances can lead to all the symptoms known as autism. All of them can be
addressed via lifestyle and nutritional approaches. When you address these, it affects the symptoms.
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.9 Masterclass Report 2021
5: De-Stressing and Nature Deficiency is KEY
Autism is a stress disorder in very sensitive individuals. Many of the symptoms are related to oxidative
stress, physiological stress reactions, cell danger response and disconnect from the healing capacity and
the rhythm, cycles and healing effects of nature. We are designed to live outdoors, naked, in the sun as
hunter/gatherers. The sensitive children are the first to react. Getting back to a life that’s more in tune with
the logic, the rhythm and cycles of nature is KEY in the healing process.
Intuition is your superpower. Animals choose what to eat based on intuition. Animals in the wild eat
different things every day. No two animals from the same herd eat the same thing, every day. This is nutritional
wisdom that we have lost. They are warned against danger and enemies through vibration and instinct. They
use this wisdom to protect and heal their offspring too. This intrinsic ability is nature’s wisdom and we have
the same capability as humans. The problem is that we have been robbed of this sacred intuition by modern,
un-natural indoor, toxic lifestyles and degenerative food.
6: Your child’s healing process is linked to yours
Autism is a wakeup call. Autism teaches us that “something’s gotta change”. Often times diet, nutrition,
self-care, lifestyle and life-path are the changes that are needed. Autism is not a punishment. It is a gift for
parents who are willing to change. When I changed the lifestyle and diet for my child, I changed my own
lifestyle and diet as well. I realized that what he needed to get to a better place was exactly what I needed.
He was my mirror. As he got better, so did I. I lost weight. I faced my demons. I opened my heart. I healed
my traumas, my anxiousness and my sadness. I reconnected with my body, my soul and my life purpose.
We can only heal our children when we heal ourselves first. We can only parent our child as we parent ourselves.
You go first. The child goes further.

The 6 Pillars
to Turning Autism Around
with Nutrition and Lifestyle Changes
Pillar # 1
The “Mom-method”
The biggest missing link in your child’s turnaround journey is YOU. Underestimating the importance of
your role is the biggest roadblock to healing. Not only are you the most important piece of the puzzle. You
are THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD who can collect all the pieces of the healing puzzle for your child.
Every child is different. There’s not ONE CAUSE or ONE SOLUTION for autism. There are often at least 5 - 10
causes and 5-30 (or more) pieces to the healing puzzle.
What’s your turnaround blocker?:
So why hasn’t this happened yet? You might be thinking: “I am not a doctor. My child is struggling. If this
is true, surely I would have made my child better a long time ago?
Why are you still confused about what to do for your child? It is because you have forgotten how to use
your superpower.
When you are stressed and disconnected you will remain stuck in subconscious failure mechanisms. If you
are stuck in fear and stress your beliefs and thoughts will be negative. You can’t heal yourself when you are in
fight/flight. You can’t heal your child when you are in fight/flight.
You can’t make good decisions, or you can’t stick to those good decisions and you will block the turnaround
because of your vibration, your frustration and the subconscious self-sabotage patterns that follow when we
are “in survival mode” . It’s not your fault and there is a way out. You need a plan and a step-by-step practice
to return to the state of healing and manifesting to overcome self-sabotage and overwhelm.
How to nail it:
This is why we teach Pillar #1 before anything else in our “Autism Turnaround Nutrition And Lifestyle Academy”.
In order to become the leader of your child’s turnaround journey and know where and how to collect all the
pieces of the puzzle, you need to:
1) Master the Autism Turnaround Mindset and the state of healing.
2) Reconnect to your inner guidance + intuition.
3) Learn how to heal and parent yourself.
4) Walk the talk. You can only lead your child through the healing and the new lifestyle if you walk the path first.
In our membership, we teach you the exact steps and phases to nail this method. If you haven’t joined the
Private Membership Group, you can subscribe HERE

Pillar # 2
Nature, Foundation, Ancestral Eating
This is a HUGE missing link missed by most experts and warrior moms. The good news: It’s free and we
have seen BIG CHANGES in children in the Barefoot Autism Warrior’s Community simply by doing this.
Nature is the foundation for health and healing. What if our children’s symptoms are stress-responses to
an unnatural life? One that’s disconnected from the element we are designed to live in?
We are designed to be outdoors, naked, in the sun, barefoot. Just like wild animals, we are designed to
choose different foods depending on our intuitive guidance, the seasons and our health and need on any
given day. Our mission is to guide you back to this lifestyle.
Your child has receptors that responds to light in the eyes and on the skin. Our bodies are designed to
respond to light. Light acts as an epigenetic switch that affects hormones, sleep, energy production, digestion,
brain and development.
Fake light from indoor lights and screens confuses the body clock and affects our children’s health.
There’s growing evidence that the lack of grounding (being barefoot on the earth or in water), is a main
contributor to inflammation and stress. Our children live an indoor life, un-grounded.
Turnaround blockers:
You might think: “I have no clue how to use intuition to feed my child. I don’t even understand my own
body (hence the comment about the first step being your own journey). I can’t live like a cave man”. “I don’t
have the time or the lifestyle to get outside and do THIS TOO.” “I am feeding my child organic, gluten and
dairy free food. I follow the guidelines for what’s healthy and not. That must be enough. I can’t do anymore.”
We get it. But here’s the thing. A diet and lifestyle change without this first step is like building a house
on sand. You will waste time, energy and money without getting the results you deserve. And the journey will
be so much harder and longer if you try to do this without tuning into the healing capacity and the magic of
your INTUITION and nature.
How to nail it:
You don’t have to live like a caveman. With adjustments and small changes, you can get your child’s body
more in sync with the rhythm and the healing capacity of nature. In our Autism Turnaround Nutrition and
Lifestyle Academy we teach you:
Ancestral health:
Sun-charging, working with the elements, water, sleep, grounding, movement.
No diet, intuitive eating against picky eating:
Eating environment, cooking methods, Intuitive feeding, cyclic, no-diet eating, ancestral eating,
microdosing, planning a plate. Microbiome of environment.
The missing links and dangers in each “special” diet, picky eating, cooking methods(read the “Autism Diet
Dangers And Missing Links”) checklist.
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.12 Masterclass Report 2021
Pillar # 3
Testing your child and biotypes
This missing link is the most overlooked reason why autism diets fail. It’s time for a revolution when it
comes to autism diets, tests or biotypes. If you put a LOT of effort (and endless battles) into an autism diet
with inadequate results, you might think: “Diets’ don’t work”. Here’s the truth. No “one-size fits all” diet will
work in the long run. Why?
Diet + Turnaround blockers:
1) Every child is UNIQUE. Every child has underlying issues that require a unique diet.
2) Children’s dietary needs change all the time. They change as the child heals. They change depending on
stress-levels, environment, seasons and age. You need to learn how to read your child’s needs and adjust the
diet as time goes by.
3) Your child’s symptoms might get worse on the most popular autism diets, supplements or even many
popular “health foods”. Some children get worse (and you may not even suspect why) when they eat omega
3 fish oil, broths, fermented food, kefir, greens in high doses, gluten free food, condiments, protein powder,
collagen, gelatin and other healthy foods.
Additionally, most supplements and multivitamins or popular diets (like GAPS ,
Medical Medium, Keto, Vegan, Feingold,Standard GF/DF) and protocols (Detox protocols,
Nemechek) make symptoms worse for some of our children with underlying biotype-issues such as:
Undermethylation
Copper Overload
Pyrrole Disorder
Glutamate - GABA issues
Gene variants
Yeast
Fatty acid imbalances
G-alpha protein defects
Sulphation issues
Low metallothionein function
Why Gluten/Dairy/Soy Free Isn’t Enough Anymore
All moms want the best for their child, we do what is considered “healthy” and trust that we are doing the
best by our children. However, when it comes to our children on the autism spectrum, simply being “healthy”
doesn’t cut it. One of the first steps we are told to take on this journey is to cut out gluten, dairy and soy. But
if we replace gluten, dairy and soy with alternatives loaded with artificial sweeteners, glutamates and toxic
fillers, we make the situation worse. The truth is, all of the processed foods that are “convenient” versions of
real food and are trashing our bodies in so many ways. We’ll discuss how to do GF/CF/SF diets well.
There’s more though, In order for our children to totally heal we must no longer accept that the gluten-free,
dairy-free, soy-free lifestyle is enough. We need to take nutrition on, in a whole new way. It’s only when we
start over from scratch that we are able to reconnect with what REAL food is, and how food can be medicine.
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.13 Masterclass Report 2021
How to nail it:
Self-testing, Working with your GP and experts:
It can be exhausting and extremely expensive to go down the “testing” route. Especially because it’s hard
to find practitioners who know which tests to prioritize in 2020, how to interpret them and how to put a plan
in place to help you going forward. This costs you time, money and headaches. So many moms have invested
huge amounts on worthless gene tests, food intolerance tests, MTHFR (Gene)tests and protocols that more
often than not can make their children worse.
Again - you need to become the expert, the leader of your child’s turnaround journey. It’s important for you
to learn which self-test checklists you can use at home to find out more about your child’s bio-individuality
and then how to know what you can do yourself and when to seek expert help.
You can learn how to save money by working with your GP and when to invest in costly tests and expert help.
We can also teach you when it’s time to involve a specialist and how to test.
We can teach you what to ask the practitioner to test for, and when to seek further guidance.
Remember, testing is not the first thing you do. It’s step number 3. You might not even need tests, special
diets or nutritional support when other foundational steps are in place.
Pillar # 4
Gut Healing & Supplements
(The “stop-start-method”)
What if we told you that supplements can make your child’s behavioral - and health problems, worse?
Did you know that hardly any supplements (apart from a select few) are safe for our children unless we know
their underlying biotypes, and that by skipping Pillar #4 which is a self-education process - you can make your
child’s problems worse, and undo the progress you’re making.
The turnaround blockers
Yes - it’s a problem to lack nutrients in the system. Vegans with B12 deficiency can experience irreversible
neuropathy. Zinc and B6 deficiency are linked to many of our children’s symptoms. But too much of a good
thing is also an issue. You need to know when to start AND stop supplementing.
Did you know that it may be important to stop supplementing when your child feels good? If you continue
because things are going well, you run the risk of nutrient overload, regression and set-backs. This is why “ The
stop-start-method” is key to our turnaround process.
You may not know that many of the ingredients in your child’s multi-vitamin or nutrient snack can increase
aggression, agitation, tantrums, ritualistic behavior and health problems? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes,
it’s because supplements are combined with nutrients inappropriately. Other times there may be unnecessary
and problematic additives. Added to this, many Practitioners in the field of autism are not individualizing the
child’s treatment plan and instead giving them a blanket protocol. We find this very problematic.
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.14 Masterclass Report 2021
How to nail it
Here’s when the self-education and the “start-stop method”, pulsing , logging and microdosing comes
into the picture.
This goes for all minerals, vitamins, probiotics, fats, amino acids plus superfoods.
When we get down to the ‘nitty-gritty’ of supplements, there are some which can trigger behavioral issues
or regressions. For the right child, they may be lifesavers, but for others, they’ll be a recipe for disaster.
And again, some may be helpful for a time but then cause problems when they accumulate to excess or
imbalance.
Fats
Probiotics
Multi vitamins
Multi B
All B vitamins
Copper
Folic Acid
Glutathione
Minerals
Amino Acids
How to nail it:
In our Autism Turnaround Nutrition and Lifestyle Academy we teach you actionable steps to educate
yourself and save yourself grief, time and money by knowing exactly what to do at home and which tests you
can use to discover how to help your child. You’ll learn about the natural gut bundle, the natural medicine
chest, safe supplements, missing links in autism supplements and specific fats for specific biotypes.
Heal the gut first
You wouldn’t put fuel into your car if it had a leak, would you? It’s a waste of money. Why spend
fortunes on supplements and diets if the system is broken and leaky so that the child actually
can’t absorb and excrete the supplements? It’s a waste of time and money. It’s also a bad idea. That’s why we
must heal the gut first.
Gut problems may be due to many different disruptions throughout the body. And no! Bone broth,
collagen, probiotics etc. are NOT the solution for every child.
Here’s what we teach you in the Autism Turnaround Nutrition And Lifestyle Academy:
-The Gut Whisperer’s natural guide to gut healing. (Starting with things you have in the kitchen).
-Bad and good probiotics
-‘Gut disruptors’ checklists and swap sheets
-How to deal with PANDAS, PANS, yeast overgrowth, food intolerances.
-How to optimize detoxification pathways
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.15 Masterclass Report 2021
-Getting the right foods in appropriate quantities
-Making sure we can break down our food into nutrients AND absorb them
-Letting nutrients in and keeping toxins and pathogens out!
-Binding and moving waste safely out of the body (excretion and microbiome)
-How gut bacteria help provide key nutrients (yes it happens in the gut!)
-The ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ of serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters
-Priming the immune system for healthy balance
If you are following the GF/DF/SF diet, you are ahead of the game, but we take it a step further to deliver
REAL results.
Pillar # 5
Safe detox and elimination diets
Turnaround blockers
This is HUGE. So many amazing mothers want to use detox to get their child healthier without realizing that
it can have the opposite effect. It’s very confusing to autism parents because we know that unborn babies are
exposed to over 200 toxins? Toxins always block nutrient pathways, reduce cellular energy and interfere with
normal growth and development. We may be exposed to more than 50,000 toxins over a lifetime.
Yet it’s not easy to get the toxins OUT of the system until the foundation is in place. In fact, it’s often
overlooked that detox involves many steps - it’s not the first step in a turnaround journey.
Detox can actually lead to more harm if the child releases toxins into the bloodstream without being able
to excrete them. They simply recirculate, and toxins in the bloodstream can do more damage than those
stored in body fat or tissue.
Signs that your child needs detox support and how to do it safely
Fatigue
Food sensitivities
Asthma, eczema, seasonal allergies
High histamine levels
Constipation
‘Posturing’ (pressing the belly against furniture or on the floor)
Reactions to chemicals
Skin problems
Bad breath
Coated tongue
High toxic metals on a hair elements test
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.16 Masterclass Report 2021
How to nail it:
This what we teach you in the Nutrition and Lifestyle Academy:
◊ The secrets to avoid constipation
◊ The strategies to support digestion (that you haven’t heard of)
◊ The step-by-step approach to bind and excrete the toxins and specific binders for specific toxins. (No,
you can’t just use random clay and charcoal supplements).
◊ We include checklists and shopping guides.
◊ Safe Detox remedies for your home-remedy medicine chest.
◊ How to effectively cleaning up the environment and your home.
◊ How to phase detoxification support so that it is safe and effective
Pillar # 6
Protocols, special diets and finding a practitioner.
Again, we are doing things very differently to others in the autism community. Most parents start here and
that’s why they waste time and money without the desired outcome.
You can’t decide whether you need tests, specific protocols, elimination diets and a skilled practitioner until
you have completed all the 5 steps above. When you have worked through them and your child still struggles,
it may be time to get more specific and involve a practitioner. Not before.
Turnaround blocker:
You have now considered all the steps to turning autism around and you know why so many expensive
treatments fail. That doesn’t mean that you can easily go out there and find a practitioner who is on the same
wavelength. You’ll need to know which tests to request and the questions to ask to make sure that your time
is not wasted. It’s not as simple as “taking a gene test”, “testing for MTHFR” or food intolerance tests. In fact,
most of these tests are of little value without the right practitioner to interpret results, fit them into the pattern
of evidence and help you plan a way forward.
How to nail it:
This is a pillar that I wish I had when I turned my son’s autism around. In fact, this pillar is so cutting
edge that my son was an adult before I found this missing link. Why? Because there are only a selected few
practitioners in the world who have implemented the latest strategies and know what to test for or how to
design a safe, effective protocol. I have seen children get worse after biomedical treatments even though they
have done many tests and even though they had an experienced practitioner design a protocol for them.
At the time of writing, there’s only one practitioner in Europe, I personally (Ninka) would recommend. That
practitioner is Dr. Barendse and she is the co-author of this manual and co-teacher in The Autism Turnaround
Nutrition And Lifestyle Academy. In fact, she is so busy that she does not accept new clients at the moment.
She is taking time out of the clinic to teach you how she does it.
She has taught me what tests to get for my children and how to work with a practitioner in a safe way
that maximizes the chance of seeing significant results. She is teaching you the same thing in the Academy.

→Louise: Meeting Ninka and dr Barendse changed everything..
“I want to share some exciting news with you as our son has recently been retested after 18 months.
Guess what I wanted to do as the first thing when I learned that my son had severe
mercury and aluminum load, toxic clostridia species, and candida overgrowth?
My son was suffering so much. Severe neurological symptoms, behavioral issues, development issues,
hypersensitivity, severe abdominal pain, sleeplessness, etc. and absolutely NO quality of life.
Before we talked to Ninka (about the lifestyle) and Barendse,
we had tried every relevant practitioner in Denmark. We tried
every diet and protocol. Antibiotics, supplements, biocidin,
GAPS, low FODMAP.
He only got worse due to the extreme burden of toxins and
impaired detoxification pathways and our issues with
glutamate, histamine, etc. None of the practitioners we had
worked with before had been able to crack that code. We got
really worried about him. When he got antibiotics his skin
turned yellow and he was lying on the couch for weeks.
That was when we started to work with Dr Shalleen Barendse
who convinced us to be very patient and very careful. She is
absolutely amazing. We realized that there would be no quick
fixes and that no practitioner would know exactly what to
do. We needed to be the experts and stop asking for others’
advice. As Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson encourages us all to
do.
In 18 months his mercury level has dropped to 2/3, he no longer has inflammation in gut or brain,
no leaky gut, his mineral deficiencies has improved significantly and his toxic gut environment
has been hugely improved. In many parameters he went from being a very severe case to
within normal range. And more importantly, he has absolutely no neurological symptoms today. Zero.
After only 18 months of tuning in to his specific and individual needs. Now, 18 months might seem like
a long time when you have a child with severe symptoms today. But I prefer 18 months with slow and
steady progress to the stress of keeping on chasing new protocols that will probably never work anyway.
He still has some metabolic and gut issues and mold illness that have to be addressed and we
still need to be careful to keep him well, which we do. So, he is absolutely thriving and happy.”
-Louise Herrup Nielsen, Mother of a 3 year old son, diagnosed with Autism

Would you like us to teach you...
THE ONE STRATEGY you must use to stop wasting time and money on autism diets, therapies and
supplements that might make symptoms worse over time. Replace confusion and overwhelm with the 6
step-by-step formula to tailor a personalized lifestyle and diet for your child with answers to the stressful
questions: “Where do I start and what do I do next? ”
If you’re tired of:
Frustration and overwhelm from trying EVERYTHING with little to no results.
Set-backs and anxiety because you feel stressed and stretched and fearful about your child’s
future.
Losing your mind, your life and your body to autism and the “what-do-I-do-next” syndrome.
Endless conflicts, battles, chaos and overwhelm.
And do you want our help to change that?
We’d like to personally invite you to join the waitlist HERE to be the first to be invited when we enroll
a selected number of autism warrior moms into the Academy. REMEMBER that we prioritize applicants who
have completed the Autism Turnaround Mindset Course above everyone else, so make sure to sign up for it soon.

10 Reasons Why The Autism
Turnaround Mindset Must be adapted before you dive
into nutrition and lifestyle.
No matter if you have completed the Autism Turnaround Mindset Course or not, let us remind you
why spending time on YOUR beliefs and mindset comes before changing ANYTHING else
(including diet and nutrition)
MINDSET AFFECTS EVERYTHING
I wish I had known sooner just how divine intelligence, mindset, soul set and levels of awareness affect
EVERYTHING...
1 Our energy field and the well-being of everyone in our energy field.
2 The way we eat, digest and repair.
3 The way we deal with crisis; Growing from it or getting stuck.
4 Our ability to make good decisions, stick to a diet or lifestyle (or not).
5 Our physical health and the way we parent our children (and ourselves).
6 Our mental capacity (victim or warrior).
7 Our relationships, love-life and friendships.
© BAREFOOT AUTISM WARRIORS | NINKA-BERNADETTE MAURITSON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.20 Masterclass Report 2021
8 The way we heal (or don’t).
9 Our stress-level or happiness.
10 Our level of success or self-sabotage.
Living without this knowledge and wisdom is like driving without driving
lessons. Make sure to complete the Autism Turnaround Mindset Course
Find it here. Or go through the free 3-step course before you read on,
Step by Step Mini Guide Here.
You can spend a fortune on behavioral therapy, supplements, self-development, coaching and
experts (I know I did) but without this missing piece of the puzzle, your brain and unconscious
self-protective mechanisms will most likely drive you to fail. This will pull you into destructive self-sabotage
patterns which impact not only your health, happiness and wellbeing, but your child’s life and
healing capacity as well; without you even noticing it.
As always, remember this journey is different for every child. All the information we are
providing to you in the Nutrition Course will be able to be applied to your child, based ONLY on what
you learned about tuning into your child and using your own intuition as a warrior from the Mindset
Course. We want you and your family to succeed, but without these steps and plan, you’re likely to
get lost among all the different “options” out there. Make the right choice for your child, choose to
take their healing into your OWN hands!

For the skeptics:
How Science Is Now Proving, Autism is Treatable!
We know that the ‘autism’ label covers a huge number of overlapping symptoms and disorders.
It features both genetic and epigenetic elements and involves a complex array of body processes and
functions gone awry. We still have only a limited number of ways to understand these malfunctions.
Of course, we can look at behavior, physical signs and symptoms. We can delve into the genetics
and we can use lab tests to help understand imbalances, deficiencies, overloads and dysfunctions.
But are we any closer to healing our spectrum children?
We don’t have all the answers and we cannot know the future for each child but:
The resounding answer is ‘yes’
Thanks to the tireless research of countless scientists, the daily grind and dedication of spectrum
parents and their determination to never give up, we now know that:
“So are we, as researchers and practitioners, at the stage that we can begin to use the ‘‘r’’
word? I would say ‘yes”.
