Nutrition to Boost Brain Function is ideal if you or your child is living with a learning difference, ADHD or autism spectrum and there is no requirement for the Cellfield Reading Intervention for dyslexia. This program is ideal for those who are in need of food therapy to support and improve brain function through such protocols as gut healing and repair, addressing food allergies, toxicity and nutrient deficiency. Food therapy, particularly gut healing, has enabled many individuals to significantly alleviate if not heal neurological disorders like dyslexia, ADHD and even autism.
