The ADHD Diet

RHIANNON LAMBERT
About this episode

Most people who have ADHD don’t know that they do, with only 3-4% of the adult population having had a diagnosis. Over the years, many potential anecdotes and management strategies, such as dietary interventions, have been suggested to help alleviate symptoms or even prevent the onset. This week’s Food For Thought sees specialist Registered Dietitian Clare Thornton-Wood and I discuss how what we eat can impact our abilities to remain focused, as well as delve deep into the research behind our dietary choices and their influence on ADHD.
