ADHD and dyslexia can mean the brain is constantly working overtime.

Nutrition won’t change how your brain is wired, but it can help give it the nutritional support it needs to thrive.


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.
