In this week's episode I am talking to Dr Rachel Gow who specialises in ADHD, nutrition and psychology. Rachel is doing powerful work in the world of neurodiversity in raising awareness and changing lives. She shares with us her journey from being a parent with a child with ADHD to being a leading expert in the field of ADHD.
In this episode we discuss:
- what is ADHD
- the gaps in the system
- how the Nutritious Minds Trust supports families
- lack of training on neurodiversity
- why there is an underdiagnosis of girls with ADHD
- the impact of genetics and environment on ADHD
- how supporting your nutrition can support ADHD
- the importance of the gut
I loved talking to Rachel and I hope that this conversation gives you a deeper understanding of how nutrition can impact ADHD positively.
