Children’s Mental Health – Feeding The Next Generation
Research continues to point to environmental causes as potential risk factors in the rise of childhood learning disorders, including ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Asperger’s and Autism. Nutritional therapist and journalist Martina Watts is hosting a conference to examine the relationship between the effects of changing dietary habits and the role of chemical substances on children’s behaviour and learning ability. Martina is teaming up with conference organisers Pavilion to hold the event in London on Thursday 9 October. Leaving the Ritalin bottle aside and focusing on the latest research, this national conference provides practical solutions by experienced clinicians on how to manage, and in some cases, prevent such disorders within an integrated, holistic framework.
The conference will address:
ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and the autistic spectrum. Can nutrition help?;
The role of chemical toxins and heavy metals and their influence on children’s behaviour;
The gut brain connection. The relevance of gut integrity to mental health. Clinical experience with probiotic and diet therapy on children with learning and behavioural disorders;
Diet, crime and antisocial behaviour.
The nutritional management of ADHD in general practice;
‘Foods as opioids’;
Convenience junkies – How to implement healthy eating habits;
Nutritional action plan for autism;
Communication skills – Learning and teaching them to children.
Speakers include: Sally Bunday, Co-founder of the Hyperactive Children’s Support Group; Dr Alex Richardson, Senior Research Fellow at Mansfield College and the Department of Physiology, University of Oxford; Dr Neil Ward, Department of Chemistry, University of Surrey; Bernard Gesch, Senior Research Scientist, Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Director of Natural Justice; Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, Cambridge Nutrition Clinic; Oscar Umahro Cadogan, Nutrition Consultant, Lecturer and Chef; Dr Brian McDonogh, The Eagle Clinic; Eileen Palmer, Psychotherapist, NLP Practitioner; Eve Gilmore, Nutrition Practitioner, Naturopath, Homeopath; Kate Neil, Nutrition Practitioner, Director of Centre for Nutrition Education.
Martina Watts, Nutritional Therapist says: “Fast-track changes to our diet coupled with a higher environmental load are clearly affecting the health of our children. This conference seeks to identify aggravating risk factors in developmental disorders, such as nutritional excesses and deficiencies. Speakers will also examine how each individual’s ability to detoxify harmful substances can be improved, providing practical strategies to help susceptible children and young adults adapt to an increasingly challenging environment.”
