Abstract
This podcast features Prof Julia Rucklidge, a Clinical Psychiatrist and Director of Mental Health and Nutrition at the University of Calgary in New Zealand. She is one of the leading voices in the field of Nutritional Psychiatry and she has researched a diverse array of mental health disorders and their link with nutrition including areas such as ADHD, anxiety and stress in children and adults plus following natural disasters and more. In this podcast Dr Rucklidge discusses micronutrient deficiency in the global population and dives into her research using broad spectrum micronutrient therapy for ADHD and also PTSD after natural disasters. It is a fascinating insight into the management of mental health issues today and how it could be improved, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
