Read source ↗ All evidence

Summary

This practitioner-authored book by Lucinda Miller, a UK-based naturopathic nutritionist, provides a recipe collection and nutritional toolkit tailored to the needs of neurodivergent children. It draws on clinical nutrition principles to address common dietary challenges and nutrient gaps associated with conditions such as ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences. The work is intended as a practical resource for families and practitioners rather than a primary research study.

UK applicability

Written by a UK practitioner and likely oriented towards UK families and clinical contexts, the guidance reflects UK food availability and is directly applicable to UK paediatric nutrition practice. It may complement NHS dietary guidance, though it sits outside the formal peer-reviewed evidence base.

Key measures

Dietary nutrient targets; recipe nutrient profiles; behavioural and cognitive health indicators (inferred from clinical nutrition practice)

Outcomes reported

The book sets out practical dietary frameworks and recipe-based guidance aimed at supporting brain function and nutritional status in neurodivergent children. It likely addresses key nutrients implicated in neurodevelopment, such as omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins.
