The Role of Food and Diet in ADHD
a FAB Research Webinar and Q&A session
Dr Alex Richardson discusses how to help children focus, stay engaged and accelerate learning with a clear mind and good mood.
Learn how to recognise overlaps with ADHD and other developmental conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia or the autism spectrum and why most modern diets really are bad news for brain health and wellbeing – and particularly for any child with ADHD-type difficulties.

ADHD and related developmental or mental health conditions
How better nutrition can improve children’s mood, behaviour and ability to learn

Students & researchers
Professionals & policy-makers working in education, health, nutrition, dietetics, mental health, social services, criminal justice or allied areas.
What To Expect
You will learn what ‘ADHD’ actually means (and what it doesn’t).
Some simple diet and lifestyle changes that clinical trials have shown can improve ‘core’ ADHD symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Other evidence-based strategies and tactics for reducing stress, anxiety and ‘meltdowns’ – and improving mood and sleep – for both you and your child!
Despite all the evidence, nutrition and diet are still largely ignored in standard clinical practice for the diagnosis or management of ADHD or other child behaviour and learning difficulties. But given the right information, parents, teachers and health practitioners can help to improve almost any child’s diet and eating habits to help them maximise their potential – so don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the world’s leading experts in this area.
