So the food we eat and how we metabolise it has a profound effect on brain function. Diet, environmental toxins and medications are making it increasingly difficult for our bodies to metabolise foods and to detox. Metabolic dysfunction and toxic build-up can in turn lead to digestive, immuno and neurological dysfunction that shows up as learning and behavioural issues and chronic illness.
