Owner
Dr. Shauna Young, PhD, ND is the owner of Assertive Wellness, which first opened its doors in 2001. To date, her center has had seen thousands of clients who have had the confidence to travel from every U.S. State and even several foreign countries based almost exclusively on referrals from other practitioners and satisfied clients.
In 2005, after four years of clinical observations and experience, Shauna began specific research regarding her theorized negative effects of excess and stored manganese on the human neurological and sensory input systems and its possible symptomatic connections to Autism and other neurological, learning and behavioral disorders in both children and adults. The unique success of this clinical research, originally referred to as “The Popeye Protocol” and currently as the “Spectrum Balance® Protocol”, led to her receiving Distinguished Awards of Excellence in both May of 2006 and May of 2007 from the internationally-recognized Global Foundation for Integrative Medicine.
Shauna holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Natural Sciences and was awarded a PhD in Natural Sciences from the University of Natural Medicine in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Her very well reviewed first book “If Naturopaths are Quacks, Then I Guess I’m a Duck” was published in April of 2012.
Her second book that details the over a decade of success of her dietary protocol the Spectrum Balance® Protocol, “Erasing Autism” was released in 2015.
She is currently an internationally recognized speaker and educator in natural health, Paleo and Autism communities and is very busy seeing clients and working on her third book.
