  • EP108 | Nutrition and Mental Health | Interview with Professor Julia Rucklidge
    2024/10/01

    Dr Rucklidge is a world renowned researcher and psychologist. She shares findings from her research in easily digestible pieces and I believe this will give parents and other listeners useful things to think about when working out what to do about nutrition, diet and micronutrients. Her book the better brain is a great resource and I recommend that you read it!

    Here's the link to the trial that was mentioned at the end of the episode.

    The M&M Trial investigates the efficacy of micronutrients and mindfulness as interventions for children struggling with emotional dysregulation.
