Show Notes
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that affects people’s behaviour.
It is estimated that globally, around 5% of children and 3% of adults have it.
There is no cure for ADHD, although there are some medications to help manage the condition.
There is also growing evidence that nutrition may have a role to play.
The question is: How much can what we eat and drink affect a condition like ADHD?
Is it a crucial part of managing the condition, a total red herring, or one important cog in a very complex wheel?
Guests:
Dr Duane Mellor, Nutrition and Evidence Based Medicine Lead, Aston Medical School
Alex Richardson, Founder, Food and Behaviour Research
