​

We work with families to create evidence-based nutrition plans that optimise brain function, reduce symptom severity, and improve concentration — always adapting to sensory preferences and family dynamics.

If you're seeking a private dietitian for ADHD in the UK or expert nutrition support for children with ADHD, we are here to guide you.

​

Understanding ADHD and Nutrition

ADHD is classified by inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity.
There are three main types of ADHD:

• Predominantly Inattentive (previously called ADD)

• Predominantly Hyperactive (less common)

• Combined Type (most common)

Children with ADHD display a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild to very impairing in daily life.

Research shows that nutrition plays an important role in managing ADHD symptoms. Both genetic and environmental factors influence how children with ADHD respond to dietary changes — making personalised support essential.

​

How Our Expert Paediatric Dietitians Can Help

We provide a comprehensive, individualised approach to nutrition for ADHD, including:

• Personalised Nutrition Assessment
  Reviewing current eating patterns, nutritional gaps, sensory issues, and symptom impact.

• Meal Planning to Improve Concentration
  Designing balanced meals and snacks that stabilise blood sugar, support neurotransmitter production, and sustain mental focus throughout the school day.

• Managing Appetite Changes Due to Medications
  Offering strategies to stimulate appetite and ensure adequate energy and nutrient intake.

• Decreasing Inflammation Through Food
  Introducing anti-inflammatory dietary strategies that may help regulate brain health and behaviour.

• Supplementation Guidance
  Advising on clinically supported supplements (e.g., omega-3 fatty acids, iron, magnesium) where needed, based on assessment and research.

• Identifying and Reducing Additives
  Supporting families to assess whether food additives may be worsening symptoms, and recommending safe dietary adjustments.

• Food Variety and Sensory Eating Support
  Practical strategies to expand dietary variety for selective or sensory-driven eaters.

• Preventing and Correcting Micronutrient Deficiencies
  Screening for and addressing common nutrient gaps seen in ADHD.

• Assessment for Elimination Diets (If Appropriate)
  Carefully evaluating whether trial eliminations (e.g., artificial colours, allergens) could be beneficial in certain cases.

• Gut Health and ADHD
  Addressing gut health strategies that may indirectly support mood regulation and focus.

• Parental and Family Education
  Empowering families with easy-to-implement, sustainable solutions tailored to daily life.
