What you eat can transform your brain and body and how they work for you - or not!
Neurodiversity can be a “superpower” when supported with a healthy and well-nourished brain and body.
Each person is unique in their nutrition needs and which approaches are most effective.
High glucose liquid “nutrition” supplements may lead to extreme blood sugar swings and insulin resistance.

I’m a nutrition consultant in Bridgewater, NS. For three decades, I have been inspiring and guiding kids and adults to listen to their bodies and eat their way to balanced energy, concentration, and health.
I specialize in Holistic Nutrition for ADHD. I have provided workshops, seminars, and training in the fields of nutrition, traditional foods, the epigenetics of nutrition (ask me!), and community health throughout North America and Europe, as well as working clinically in Europe and now Canada.
I not only love food, I also love how great it can make us feel and think. When it comes to neurodiversity, I am coming from personal and family experience of ADHD and autism, and the impacts of nutrition.
So yes, I DO understand how confusing and frustrating it can be!
Simple and user-friendly answers to your questions, active listening, and visual information connections are just some of the ways I will work with you and your family in your journey to better health.

I can really use what I learned.” “The only problem with this workshop was that it was too short!” “This has been one of the best sessions at this conference. I enjoyed everything and learned many new ideas. This class should be taught to all coordinators and not just limited to health staff. Two thumbs up.”

Our tastebuds are designed to recognize four flavour categories: sweet, salt, sour, and bitter. If all they get are sweet and salt, they end up with less to do. Just like muscles, they stop working well if we don’t use them. Tastebuds get clogged up with disuse, and can even shrivel up and sort of … die!
A sugar by any other name is still sugar—but not all sugars affect the body the same way. This article explores hidden sugars, highly processed foods, high-fructose corn syrup, and why some “healthy” choices may spike blood sugar more than expected.
