Join us online on Saturday 28 June 2025 for a deep dive into how science-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine can be used to support clients with ADHD, ASD, Neurodivergence and Neuroinflammation.  Also within this event will be a specific session dedicated to providing a strong discussion of the utility of a therapeutic ketogenic diet and why and when this can be helpful for brain health.

This event will equip nutrition and lifestyle medicine practitioners with new confidence and knowledge to enhance their practice.

• Why nutritional medicine should be mainstream in psychiatry
• What is going on (“wrong”) with our broken food system? Ultra Processed foods and why children are arguably the most vulnerable
• What is ADHD? Addressing misinformation in the media
• Understanding the nutritional composition of the brain and why we need to nourish the brain with omega-3 brain essential fats and key brain-selective nutrients
• What does this research tell us? Current updates on clinical research and why research in the field of nutrition psychiatry can be challenging
• Dr. Gow’s recent research on the role of nutrition in ADHD and neurodivergent conditions in children and adults

Session Title: Are Ketogenic Diets the Future for Brain Health?

Session Outline: 

This session explores what a ketogenic diet is, why it can be an effective therapy for a range of brains and how you might support a client to try it.  In addition, it will look at why mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance as well as circadian rhythm are so important for brain health.

• Identify the differences between the standard UK diet, low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets
• Understand how fat is converted into ketones and how ketones are used in the body
• Explain what nutritional ketosis is and the ketone levels that apply
• Recognise how glucose levels relate to ketone levels in the blood
• Identify a range of health conditions for which a ketogenic diet may be a therapeutic option
• Describe the mechanisms which a ketogenic diet may help address in relation to mental health and neurodiverse conditions.
• Explain how a carnivore diet is different from but can be part of a ketogenic approach.
• Recognise why plant foods can be toxic and some people may benefit from an elimination approach.
• Understand how insulin resistance is at the root cause of many brain health problems.

Speaker Profile: Moira specialises in using low carbohydrate diets to help clients improve their energy, lose weight, resolve brain fog, sleep better, become calmer and simply feel better. She has particular interests in chronic fatigue conditions, metabolic health problems, autoimmune diseases and mental health conditions.

Moira uses a variety of approaches in her work all of which have a food first focus, including low carbohydrate, ketogenic and carnivore diets. She has personal experience of making a full recovery from chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression and has also put her own autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, into remission.
