Changing one’s diet not only improves physical health, but benefits mood, behaviour and cognitive function at a fundamental level. This book highlights the link between nutrition and mental health and demonstrates the crucial role of diet in supporting individuals with ADHD.
Written by an internationally-recognised leader in the growing field of nutritional psychiatry, Dr Rachel Gow takes a nutrition-based look at ADHD and its management. Combining the latest research with the inspirational stories of a range of professionals and individuals whose lives have been touched by the issues raised, this book also includes accessible tips throughout and a chapter of recipes to promote brain health. This is an essential guide to understanding the interplay of brain health and nutrition, and supporting families to build a diet that optimises brain function and health.
“This book is simply a must-read for every parent. As a neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and parent, I am fully aware of how difficult it is to combine your expertise with your family life. The impact of nutrition on brain structure and function cannot be ignored, the consequences imply an enormous amount of stress and suffering for the individuals and their families. However, food industry interests’ seem to be too strong to fight against them. Rachel shows in her book how little nutritional value is in preprocessed food and drinks, how that is related to brain health and provides us with easy and delicious recipes to enjoy family food in a healthy way. I can tell from experience my children love these recipes. Thanks Rachel!”
— Dr. Ana Cubillo, Clinical Psychologist, Neuroscientist and mother of two
