Episode 28

Ever wondered how our diet could influence our brain? Can nutrition be a game-changer in managing ADHD?  This week Lucinda Miller, ADHD-er and naturopath with over two decades of experience in pediatric nutrition, joins us to illuminate the intriguing connection between nutrition and ADHD.

Did you know the brain needs essential nutrients to regulate dopamine levels, which are critical in managing ADHD? With Lucinda we explore the critical nutrients involved in this, like tyrosine, iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. We also learn how to spot signs of iron and zinc deficiencies in our children.

While discussing how to introduce these nutrients into our children's diets we also delve into the art of positive communication around nutrition in the family home, and how to mindfully talk about food without triggering obsessive behaviours. Tune in to this enlightening episode, packed with practical advice and insights on the fascinating interaction between nutrition and ADHD.
