High Fluoride Exposure for Our Autistic Child & Sleep Quality

As parents raise a child on the autism spectrum, sleep can be one of the biggest challenges—especially if our child struggles to rest. When they’re not sleeping, chances are, mom and dad aren’t either.

From personal experience, my autistic daughter rarely napped the first 2-3 years of life and had a 50% chance of waking up throughout the night. Now at almost 7 years old, she sleeps regularly for the full night and there's no longer the difficulty of getting her to wind down. What changed? We became intentional with regulating the water she drinks (primarily alkaline water), no exposure to fluoride, and regular detox baths by using himalayan and epsom salt.

Utah is the first state to ban fluoride from their drinking water. There are emerging studies suggesting a potential link to high fluoride exposure and pineal gland calcification. The pineal gland plays a key role in producing melatonin, the sleep hormone that regulates our sleep cycle. If disrupted, this could make it even harder for children—and parents—to get the rest they need.

At TrnscndWellness, we deeply understand this concern and we're passionate with formulating our current and future products with the health of the pineal gland in mind. That’s why we created Talk Natural Whitening Toothpaste: a gentle, fluoride-free option powered by hydroxyapatite, a safe, effective alternative that naturally strengthens and whitens teeth—without risking overexposure to fluoride. As an added bonus:

✔️ Safe if swallowed

✔️ Perfect for sensitive mouths

✔️ Naturally refreshing doublemint taste

✔️ Loved by parents and kids alike

If your family is looking for an inclusive oral care solution that’s as thoughtful as it is effective, try Talk Toothpaste—clean, sensory-friendly, and intentionally made with your needs in mind.
