Last week on the podcast, we talked about two of the key dietary changes I recommend for kids with ADHD (LINK). And the week before I interviewed Dr. Robert Melillo about the Melillo method when it comes to balancing the brain in kids with Autism, ADHD, OCD, and Tourette Syndrome (LINK).

Today on the podcast, I am talking about the key nutrients to support kids that are neurodiverse. Nutrition can offer a lot, when it comes to support neurological health and minimising challenges associated with neurodiversity.


Throughout this episode, I discuss:

• The function of Omega-3 and the difference between EPA and DHA;
• What to look for in a DHA supplement;
• The different forms of magnesium and how this nutrient can support neurodiverse children;
• The signs and symptoms of low GABA;
• The Gut-Brain Axis and how the use of specific probiotic strains can support neurological health
• The function of B vitamins and what to look for in a supplement;
• Vitamin D for neurological health and testing your kids Vitamin D status.
