Quantum Autism Genes · Telehealth worldwide & Nassau

Get to the root cause, in the right order.

A personalised approach to neurodevelopmental disorders. We use genetics, nutrigenomics and the microbiome to find out what is going on beneath the surface, then work through it module by module, with a nutrigenomic practitioner beside you.

Autism Genes is now Quantum Autism Genes.

Dr Heather Way's program, together with the Quantum clinic, technology and clinical capabilities in Nassau, The Bahamas. Current families: your program continues exactly as planned.

Why we're different

“I was told it couldn't be done.”

Many parents of children with autism or ADHD are overwhelmed: behaviour problems, fussy eating, limited speech, toileting, lack of focus, therapy appointments and endless paperwork. When traditional therapies didn't work for her own children, Dr Heather used her PhD in Molecular Pathology to look for the root cause in their genes, and tailor treatment to the individual child.

After more than a decade of autism research, for her own sons and hundreds of other children, the most important lesson was simple.

In. The. Right. Order.
First · Put the fire out

Calm the inflammation

Children on the spectrum are in a state of inflammation. That has to settle before anything else will hold.

Then · Clean up

Fix detoxification pathways

Clear what the body hasn't been able to clear on its own.

Then · Rebuild

Behaviour, speech, focus, toileting

With the foundations in place, we rebuild: socialisation, speech, concentration and more.

“What began with helping one little boy has become a mission to help one million autistic children around the world.”Dr Heather Way, Founder
The program

Modules, laid out in order and adapted to your child

Ten sessions over twelve months, about six weeks apart, by telehealth. Each module targets a typical problem area, and your practitioner adjusts the order around what your child needs most.

Initial call

Built around your goals

We shape the program around your child, your family and what you most want to change.

Fussy eating

Teach your child to eat

Sort out the biochemistry behind sensory defensiveness, then play lots of food games so real food becomes fun.

Gut

Microbiome sequencing

Sequencing and testing of your child’s gut, then a plan to rebalance the gut flora.

GcMAF

Immune support

Supporting microglia, the immune cells of the brain, which help with cognition and speech.

DNA

Nutrigenomic plan

Natural supplement and nutrition plans built on your child’s own DNA.

PANS / PANDAS

Is it partly pathogens?

Is behaviour partly driven by pathogens like strep?

Mould & toxins

Mycotoxins

Is your child being affected by mould and mycotoxins?

Review

The science

A gene panel built for neurodevelopment

Dr Heather builds specialist gene panels for autism, Asperger's, ADHD, OCD, PANDAS and PANS. They show the gene variants behind the pathways that matter, so your child's plan is built on their own biology.

The gut test

Sequences the microbiome for the bacterial signatures associated with autism. A plan of probiotics, prebiotics and gut-healing agents is then built around the results.

  • ASD-related bacteria down to species level
  • IBS-related bacteria and diversity
  • How diet is affecting gut flora
