Her clinic, Brainstorm Health, picked up the gong for its commitment to transforming the lives of young people struggling with neurological challenges, including autism, PANDAS and PANS.
Personal experience
Chadwick explained how the innovative clinic came into being: “Our journey began with a personal experience that changed everything. When my daughter was 4.5 years old, she caught scarlet fever, and our world turned upside down. She faced compulsions, sensory issues, anxiety, and more, leaving us feeling lost and hopeless.”
Chadwick added: “Like many parents, I refused to give up”. She went back to university and studied Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine. She explained: “As I applied what I learned, something extraordinary happened. My daughter slowly began to regain her health and vitality. It was a moment of pure hope and inspiration.
“Today, I am proud to say that my daughter is thriving and will soon begin her studies at Oxford University. This remarkable personal transformation serves as a testament to the power of resilience in the face of adversity.”
More than 2,500 helped
Brainstorm Health has emerged as a leader in its field, employing nutritional approaches and evidence-based practices to help more than 2,500 children and young people to date.
Practitioners’ expertise extends to addressing the health needs of individuals on the autism spectrum and those facing challenges associated with PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infection), PANS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders), and other neurological conditions.
Holistic approach aims to enhance quality of life
Chadwick said: “Our holistic approach, combining nutritional therapy and functional medicine, aims to unlock young people’s potential and enhance their overall quality of life.”
