FEEDING THE ADHD BRAIN
Practical nutrition to support focus, energy & emotional regulation in school-aged children
If youâre raising a school-aged child with ADHD, you may be familiar with rushed mornings, skipped breakfasts, untouched lunchboxes, after-school crashes, selective eating, constant requests for snacks, or a child who simply forgets to eat.
But what does nutrition have to do with any of this?
Food isnât a treatment for ADHD, but the developing brain needs the right fuel and nutrients to function well. What a child eats, when they eat and whether theyâre getting enough of certain nutrients can all form part of the wider picture when we think about energy, concentration, mood and overall wellbeing.
Join me, Clare Young, Registered Nutritional Therapist and Paediatric Nutritionist at Seed Nutrition, for a relaxed one-hour talk exploring how we can practically support the ADHD brain through food.
Weâll talk about:
𼣠Breakfast and fuelling the brain for the school day
đ Lunchboxes, forgotten meals and the after-school crash
đ§ Key nutrients involved in healthy brain function
đ ADHD, sensory differences and selective eating
𼪠Realistic meals and snacks for busy families
đ Medication, appetite and making the most of appetite windows
Most importantly, this is about making nutrition doable.
Youâll leave understanding more about why nutrition matters to the developing brain, where some of the common challenges around ADHD and food can come from, and some realistic things you can start trying at home.
This talk is for parents and carers of school-aged children with an ADHD diagnosis, those waiting for an assessment, or children who struggle with attention and regulation.
