- The science and biochemistry behind ADHD and autism
- How and why food, nutrition, and diet choices affect these children
- 5 areas where food affects body and brain
- What you can do to help right now!
- Scientifically referenced!
The Rates of Childhood Conditions are Rising…
1 in 6 children have ADHD, 1 in 10 have anxiety, and 1 in 31 have autism
…and immediate help is available!
Because children’s body and brain are connected,
parents and health professionals can improve symptoms
by giving personalized attention to the food and nutrition children receive.
Taking charge of diet and nutrition is advantageous for all ages and diagnoses. And addressing childrens’ food choices supports early intervention strategies and helps optimize learning and behavioral therapies. Common improvements include brain development, language, anxiety, mood, attention, hyperactivity, sensory issues, sleep, digestive symptoms, and even picky eating.
And because there is no one-size-fits-all dietary program, each child requires a unique bioindividual nutrition approach. Personalized nutrition is the future of healthcare and can be successfully used to improve the symptoms associated with autism and other pediatric special needs.
Learn about using personalized nutrition and therapeutic diets to help your child or expand your healthcare practice.
This Forum presents cutting-edge physicians, researchers, and nutrition practitioners.
With one purpose:
To deliver science-backed approaches for parents and practitioners.
