What To Expect
You will learn about the role of specific nutrients essential for brain health (but often lacking from modern diets), and how these work at molecular and cellular levels to help modulate attention and concentration, regulate mood, and influence behaviour and learning - with a focus on symptoms of ADHD and related conditions, including depression, anxiety and sleep problems.
This webinar also summarises for you the latest scientific evidence on the role of food and diet in ADHD and other commonly co-occurring conditions: including
- Dyslexia, Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder), Autistic Spectrum Disorders and other behaviour and learning difficulties usually first evident in childhood
- Anxiety, Depression, and other mental health issues that may manifest only in adolescence or adulthood.
