 In this episode of the Brain Development Podcast, hosts discuss the challenges parents face with picky eaters, particularly in children with neurodiversity. They welcome Vicky Finlayson from Happy, Healthy Unicorn, who shares her insights on the gut-brain connection and the importance of a healthy diet for improving behaviour and learning outcomes. Vicky emphasises the need for a tailored approach to dietary changes, highlighting strategies such as food chaining and the significance of mindset in the process. The conversation also touches on the addictive nature of certain foods and the impact of gut health on emotional regulation and overall well-being. Listeners are encouraged to embrace small, manageable changes and to seek creative ways to make food enjoyable for their children, fostering a positive relationship with eating. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset Matters: Parents' emotional states significantly impact their children's willingness to try new foods. Approaching mealtime with calmness and no attachment to the outcome can help children feel more secure and open to change. Gradual Changes: Transitioning a child's diet should be done in stages, especially for those with strong food preferences. Small, manageable changes, such as altering the shape or texture of familiar foods, can help ease the child into a more diverse diet. Food Addiction Awareness: Many common foods, particularly those high in gluten and dairy, can be addictive due to their effects on the brain. Recognising this can help parents understand the importance of removing these foods to promote better health and behaviour in their children. Gut Health is Crucial: A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall well-being, including mood regulation and immune function. Parents should focus on nourishing their child's gut with a variety of whole foods to support brain development and reduce inflammation. BEST MOMENTS "If your child was addicted to heroin, would you keep giving him the heroin? Or would you just remove it and go through the withdrawal, which you will get? But actually to help them for the greater good." - Vicky "Your mindset in this is so important. If you are serving food from a place of desperation, fear, and anxiety, your child is so sensitive because they have neuroception." - Vicky "The way I like to liken this... is that if you imagine your child's gut as like this beautiful garden... you have to have vegetables and you have to have diversity." - Vicky "You can actually break it down. And I think that's what you've really taught me." - Lara HOST BIO Lara Barnes a successful woman in tech found herself managing behavioural, learning and speech difficulties with her son, she learn functional neurology and how to change the brain to correct his symptoms and build his left brain.
