Nutrition for ADHD and related conditions

Official guidelines ignore the connection between food and ADHD (and related conditions). But research says that diet CAN help to manage symptoms

Living with ADHD can be a challenging and confusing journey. There is a huge amount of information online, but much of it is contradictory and misleading, making it hard to know what to believe – or what to do that might help. 

In this recorded webinar and Q&A FAB Research experts discuss the controversial role of nutrition and diet in ADHD and related conditions – focusing on what’s ‘evidence-based’ and what isn’t, sharing their insights on the practical, real-world implications, and answering your questions.

This event will help anyone interested in ADHD to:

• Understand ADHD: Appreciate what ADHD really is, explore co-occurring conditions, and understand the rationale behind NICE treatment guidelines.
• Learn Effective Nutritional Strategies: Hear about practical, tried-and-tested dietary approaches for managing ADHD and related conditions, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ASD, anxiety, and depression.
• Improve Brain Energy and Combat Fatigue: Discover which foods, diets and nutrients can help fight fatigue – and which ones deplete mental energy .
• Manage ‘Sensory Processing’ Issues: Find out how nutrition and diet can affect visual auditory and other aspects of sensory processing – including how food tastes and feels – and what changes can help in managing ‘sensory overload’.
• Boost Focus and Concentration: Identify foods and nutrients that can enhance attention and concentration.
