Diagnosed with autism at 3. College graduate at 22. Living and working on his own today. š
Meet Daniel Knowles, and the determined mom beside him every step of the way.
When Daniel was diagnosed, his mom, Lori Knowles-Jimenez, refused to stop asking questions. She dug into the research, partnered with practitioners, and focused on supporting his health from the inside out: gut, nutrition, and whole-body wellness.
Today, Daniel is a University of Kansas graduate with a career in IT. š
Loriās journey also led her to co-found New Beginnings Nutritionals, where she now serves as General Manager. For more than 20 years, she has helped other families find the answers she once searched for.
Every childās path is different, but no parent should have to search alone.
š Follow our page to hear more of Lori and Danielās story.
š¬ Tell us in the comments: whatās one milestone your child reached that youāll never forget?
š Share this with a parent who needs a little hope today.

Is your childās multivitamin really giving them what they need? š¤
Research suggests many children on the spectrum may need more of certain key nutrients than other kids:
āļø Vitamin B6
āļø Vitamin C
āļø Folate
āļø Zinc
These nutrients play important roles in brain health, mood, and overall wellbeing. Picky eating, gut issues, and differences in how the body absorbs and uses nutrients can all make it harder for kids to get enough from food alone.
Thatās why we created Spectrum-Mate. It is specially formulated to support the unique nutritional needs of children on the spectrum.* For more than 20 years, New Beginnings Nutritionals has been proud to serve the autism community and the families who love them. š

We love getting comments like this! Dr. Shaw has helped countless people by sharing his knowledge and research!
Since 2009, some of our most important conversations havenāt happened online. Theyāve happened at a booth, in a crowded conference hallway, with a family who just needed someone to listen.
This is a small look back. We donāt have photos from every event (we wish we did!), but these moments from conferences like TACA, MAPS, IMMH, and The Autism Education Summit remind us where it all started.
Youāll see Dr. William Shaw and Dr. Kurt Woeller sharing the science, and our co-founder Lori Knowles-Jimenez on stage with her son Daniel, sharing the recovery story at the heart of why we do this.
Every family and every practitioner weāve met at these events helped build New Beginnings Nutritionals. Thank you for trusting us and letting us be part of your journey.

In 2009, a local news station shared the story of 10-year-old Daniel. šŗ Hereās where he is today. š
Back then, Daniel and his mom, Lori Knowles-Jimenez, sat down with reporters to talk about the path their family took after his autism diagnosis at age 3. Lori dug into the research, partnered with practitioners, and focused on supporting Danielās health from the inside out: gut, nutrition, and whole-body wellness.
The story has been viewed more than 114,000 times. š
Today, Daniel is a University of Kansas graduate with a career in IT, living and working on his own.
Lori went on to co-found New Beginnings Nutritionals, where she serves as General Manager. For more than 20 years, she has helped other families find the answers she once searched for.
Every childās path is different, but no parent should have to search alone.

āHis tantrums and stomach pain were changed to smiles.ā š
A mom in our community shared those words with us back in 2012 about her son, Miguel. More than a decade later, they still capture why we do what we do.
We chose to carry Ther-Biotic Complete because of its potency and its carefully selected strains. Each dose delivers:
āļø 25 billion CFU from 12 probiotic strains
āļø Diverse Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, including L. rhamnosus, B. bifidum, L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, B. longum, and more
āļø A base of inulin from chicory root, a prebiotic fiber that helps feed beneficial bacteria
āļø A patented, specially designed capsule to help protect the probiotics as they travel through the digestive tract
Together, these support a healthy gut microbiome, digestion, and immune function. *
Hereās what many parents donāt realize: a lot of children with autism have significant digestive challenges. And when a child canāt tell you their tummy hurts, that discomfort often shows up as behavior.
The gut-brain connection is real. Your gut and brain talk to each other constantly through the nervous system, the immune system, and the compounds made by gut bacteria. Thatās important for everyone, and especially for children with autism and other special needs.
Gut health is complex, and no single probiotic is right for every child. Thatās why we carry Ther-Biotic Complete along with many other probiotics, so families and practitioners can find the right fit for you.

Another cute post from the archives!
Did you know children with autism often have greater nutrient needs ā including Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, folate, and zinc?
Research shows these deficiencies can impact behavior, cognition, and overall wellbeing. A supplement designed specifically for children on the spectrum can make a meaningful difference.
At New Beginnings Nutritionals, our practitioner-grade formulas like Spectrum-Mate and SpectrumNeedsĀ® are built to address exactly these gaps ā with over 20 years of experience supporting the autism community.
