Theresa M. Lyons, MS, MS, PhD

Ivy League scientist, medical strategist, autism advocate, and Mama Bear

Theresa Lyons, founder of Navigating AWEtism and Eat To Heal AWEtism, wants to live in a world where real science is understood, children are happy and healthy, and ambrosia flows like water. As a PhD chemist from Yale University, she’s worked in many aspects of the healthcare industry although the most gut wrenching experience was being a passenger on a single engine plane flying back from Dadaab. When she’s not helping people rethink the impossible about autism and backing it up with actionable steps based on cutting-edge scientific research, you can find her either hiking in enchanted forests or shopping on 5th Avenue looking for bargains.
