Having ADHD or dyslexia can mean your brain is often working overtime - and nutrition can play a vital role in supporting the brain to function at its best.

Dr. Emma Derbyshire takes a practical, neurodiversity-affirmative approach to optimising ADHD and dyslexic diets for emotional regulation and mental performance. Chapters cover: key vitamins and common deficiencies, probiotics and the gut-brain axis; the role of Omega-3 and fatty acids; managing sensory seekers and fussy eaters - as well as sleep, anxiety and processing power.

With recipes, case studies and clear take-home pointers, this is an accessible, wide-ranging primer for supporting ADHD and dyslexic brain health.
