Show Notes
If you are a special needs parent, you probably hear “take care of yourself” all the time—but no one explains how to do that when you are already exhausted. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with Daisy V about realistic self care for special needs families, including how to involve your kids and why she turned to nutrigenomics to support her son’s health.
Daisy shares her story of raising a son with a degenerative disease called MPS VI, what pushed her to learn about health, biohacking, and nutrigenomics, and how she slowly began taking her own energy and well‑being seriously. Together, Jimmy and Daisy focus on small, doable steps—rather than perfect routines—so parents can start feeling a little better without adding more pressure to their day.
This episode is especially helpful for moms who feel guilty taking any time for themselves or who are curious about nutrigenomics but overwhelmed by the science. You will hear honest encouragement, gentle mindset shifts, and practical ideas you can test in your own home.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
What self care can look like for special needs parents who are already stretched thin
-
Simple self care ideas you can do with your kids so they learn to care for themselves too
-
What nutrigenomics is and how Daisy uses it to support her son and family
-
How to start taking your health, energy, and sense of control back one small step at a time
