Lucinda Miller is back to talk about her new book Brain Brilliance. It looks at how what you eat affects your health and mood.

The book is described as a nutritional toolkit for neurodivergent kids, and is full of healthy and delicious recipes, as well as chapters on what to eat for certain symptoms. It is heavily academically-referenced (550, I think!), and she recommends nutrients and foods that support the immune system.

She talks about every day supplements most children can tolerate, growing incidences of high-histamine and what this means, the three different stages of immunity and how to move children back into a place of safety and out of auto-immune issues through diet and supplementation.

Some links about things we spoke about...

Here is me from my time as a food blogger - at Crumbs Food - making Cake in a Cup. Here is the study on auto immunity, and the Adverse Childhood Experience Study

Next month is devoted to PANS PANDAS and education. We kick off a mini series with Naomi Fisher and her latest book When The Naughty Step Makes Things Worse. Then we have PANS PANDAS UK's very own Tina Coope who has loads of good tips, and whose work on the charity's education and care steering group will make a real difference to many of our community's lives.
