About Dr Alex Richardson, Founder Director @Food and Behaviour (FAB) Research
Alex is internationally known for her pioneering research into the role of nutrition (especially dietary fats) on brain development and function, and its implications for ADHD and related conditions affecting behaviour, learning and mood. Her academic publications include experimental, epidemiological, genetic and brain imaging studies; the first controlled treatment trials investigating effects of omega-3 (and omega-6) fatty acids in ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and related conditions; and the earliest case reports of potential benefits from similar nutritional interventions for depression and schizophrenia. Alex is also a highly experienced teacher and speaker for public and professional as well as academic audiences, and a frequent contributor for the media. Her book for parents and professionals – ‘They Are What You Feed Them’ – is dedicated to FAB Research, the charity she founded to raise awareness of the links between diet and mental health, wellbeing and performance.
