EP 101: Nutrition for Neurodivergent Children with Lucinda Miller

Episode 101

Unlock the secrets to nurturing neurodivergent minds with the wisdom of Lucinda Miller, founder and clinical lead of NatureDoc, as we celebrate our monumental 100th episode. Lucinda returns to discuss her groundbreaking book, "Brain Brilliance," a nutritional guide tailored for neurodivergent individuals. From her beloved Cherry Sleepy Smoothie to ingenious recipes like margarita pizza waffles, Lucinda shares how nutritious meals can transform emotional regulation, anxiety, and sleep for children with conditions like ADHD, autism, and more.

Discover the profound link between gut health and brain function, and the role of the gut microbiome in shaping mood, memory, and behavior. Lucinda offers practical strategies for enhancing gut health without invasive tests, emphasizing the importance of dietary diversity, fermented foods, and probiotics. By fostering openness to new foods, these approaches aim to alleviate stress and anxiety in neurodivergent children, nurturing a curious palate and a resilient mind.

Lastly, we tackle the critical oversight in medical education regarding nutrition, shining a light on how this gap affects patient care. Lucinda and I discuss the pivotal role nutritionists play in bridging this divide, offering insights and support to families navigating neurodiversity.
