About this episode
Welcome to Episode 271 of Autism Parenting Secrets . Parents are often told that autism is fixed, with limited options beyond therapies to manage behaviors. That definition is wrong. Autism is biomedical—and that opens up entirely new possibilities for parents. My guest this week is Dr. Christian Bogner, a physician, educator, and father whose son continues to make meaningful improvements. His personal and professional journey has led him to work with over 1,000 families worldwide, uncovering the genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors driving autism and chronic disease. In this conversation, Dr. Bogner shares why autism must be understood as biomedical, why families can’t afford to wait for mainstream medicine to catch up, and what simple, affordable steps parents can take today to help their children thrive.

Since then, he has spoken at conferences worldwide, consulted with over 1,000 families, and dedicated his career to uncovering the genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors driving autism and other chronic conditions. Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology with additional certification in functional medicine, Dr. Bogner is passionate about the microbiome, plant-based nutrition, and innovative therapies that improve accessibility for families.

In 2024, he co-founded Autism Is Biomedical, Inc., a nonprofit committed to providing families with resources, counseling, and access to biomedical interventions. Working closely with visionary medical physicist Alex Zaharakis, Dr. Bogner continues to push the boundaries of science and care, helping families find hope, healing, and a clearer path forward.
