The Relationship Between Nutrition, Genetics, and Neurodiversity

This chapter discusses the various conditions and disorders that fall under the umbrella of neurodiversity and how nutrition and genetics play a role in their development. The speaker emphasizes the importance of specific nutrients for neurotransmitter and brain function in individuals with ADHD and autism, as well as the impact of genetic variations that can lead to deficiencies. The connection between moms with Hashimoto's or thyroid autoimmunity and the prevalence of children on the autism spectrum is also explored, with potential factors such as nutritional deficiencies and birth experiences being considered.
