5 Days to Reduce Screen Time, Rebuild Brain Connections, and Reclaim Your Kid’s Focus, Speech & Behavior

(Without Losing Your Mind—or Your Child’s Trust)The challenge starts September 2nd to the 7th and will be delivered to your inbox so make sure to add Blue Life Rx as a contact so you don't miss this free interactive resource

This free challenge is for autism parents who’ve tried everything and know the screen isn’t helping… but don’t know what else to do. Starting May 19th, I’ll show you the step-by-step way out—so your child can start engaging with you, not just a device.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You’re not new to autism.
You’ve done the therapies. Bought the apps. Tried the speech cards and supplements.

And yet…

• Your child melts down when the tablet gets taken away.

• They seem calm on a screen—but the minute it’s off, they’re dysregulated, anxious, or aggressive.

• You’ve noticed fewer words, less eye contact, and more zoning out.

• You’re worried they’re addicted—but the screen is the only thing that keeps them “settled.”

• You see other kids engaging with their world, and wonder if you’re losing precious time.

Let’s call it what it is:
The screens are hijacking your child’s brain.

HOW SCREEN TIME AFFECTS AUTISM BRAINS (AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD)

In autism, the brain is already working overtime to process sensory input, regulate emotion, and build developmental skills.

When we add constant screen exposure—especially fast-paced, flashing, or addictive content—here’s what often shows up:

🔸 Speech delays or regression (screens don’t build mirror neurons—real-life interaction does)
🔸 Aggression and meltdowns (especially when a device is removed)
🔸 Poor sleep (blue light disrupts melatonin and circadian rhythms)
🔸 Gut and immune issues (yep, the gut-brain connection feels the screen stress too)
🔸 Delayed potty training or social milestones
🔸 More stimming, more zoning out, less connection

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS 5-DAY CHALLENGE

This isn’t a “just delete the app” kind of challenge.
This is about building a better replacement plan—one that your child can actually tolerate and benefit from.

✔️ The 3 types of screen time—and which ones hurt the most
✔️ What to do instead of a screen (especially when you need 10 minutes to yourself)
✔️ How to reduce screen time without meltdowns, shame, or power struggles
✔️ What’s actually happening in your child’s brain—and how to heal it
✔️ Simple food, play, and routine swaps that build resilience, not reliance

WHY THIS MATTERS—AND WHY NOW

You already know this isn't sustainable.
You’ve seen the impact in your child’s behavior, communication, and ability to connect.
You want more for them—and you know there’s more out there.
This is the first step toward getting it.

And by the way—this challenge isn’t for everyone.

This is for parents who are ready to do something different.

✨ You’re open to lifestyle-based healing.
✨ You’re tired of band-aids and expensive “experts” with no results.
✨ You’re willing to make a shift—even if it’s imperfect.
✨ You’re able to invest in your child’s long-term development.

MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I’m Natalie Pelto.

I’m a clinical nutritionist and brain development specialist—but more than that, I’m a mom who’s been where you are. I believe you can’t out-therapy a starving brain—or overstimulate it and expect it to grow.

I created this challenge to help families like yours reduce screen dependency, bring back real connection, and support your child’s development in a way that actually works.
