Kirsty Wirth noticed a change in her son when he was around 15 months old.
Then, in just a few months, Noah went from thriving and hitting all his milestones to avoiding eye contact, unable to speak or communicate.
Doctors diagnosed Noah with autism. Kirsty was told he will spend the rest of his life non-verbal, and Kirsty and her husband will have to care for him for the rest of his life.
But Kirsty refused to go down without a fight. Instead, committing to doing everything she could to help bring her little boy back to her.
After painstakingly trawling the world for answers, the solution was in Noah’s gut which was riddled with pathogens. With the right care, she got her little boy back. He’s now flourishing at a regular school, funny, brilliant, active and loving life.
This experience inspired Kirsty to start Kultured Wellness – a one stop shop of advice, fermented food products, and programs – to help people with gut issues regain their health and to ensure no family ever goes through what hers did.
I’ve learnt so much from Kirsty – she has fundamentally changed the way I parent my own son and view our health.
Kirsty’s story is one of resilience, tenacity, and ultimately, it’s a testament to a mother’s love, which knows no boundaries when it comes to protecting our babies.
