“People come in assorted shapes and sizes, with brains that are unique. A significant minority, who are neurodivergent, need to be recognised, valued, and supported so they can maximise their strengths and overcome their challenges.”
— Dr. Rona Tutt, OBE, PhD – Food for the Brain Trustee and Past President of the National Association of Head Teachers

Over the past 20 years, the number of children classified as neurodivergent—with special educational needs, or diagnosed with autism or ADHD—has quadrupled.

Why is this happening? What factors are contributing? How can we help these children and reverse this alarming trend?

This webinar brings together three experts who, between them, have helped thousands of children reduce symptoms and, in some cases, even reverse diagnoses. While genetics play a role, our biology is directly influenced by both nutrition and “anti-nutrition”—that is, environmental toxins.

In this webinar, you will learn:

✔️ How to assess a child’s nutritional needs and create an optimal diet and lifestyle
✔️ The essential ingredients of the maternal diet to minimise risk
✔️ Which nutrients— from vitamins and minerals to essential fats—are crucial for neurodevelopment
✔️ How to identify food intolerances and implement corrective diets
✔️ The brain toxins to avoid—from excess sugar to environmental pollutants
✔️ Supportive therapies and how to access them
✔️ A practical, science-based approach to optimising your child’s health and happiness

…and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions in an interactive Q&A session.
