- an interesting, wide-ranging and personable exploration by Liz Wilkinson of Neuroreverse in New Zealand and Sue Dengate of the Food Intolerance Network in Australia.

Watch now as a single video (41mins) https://youtu.be/ceR68f2UseM or three separate videos as below:

1. Who are you and what is the Food Intolerance Network?

2. What are the most common food and chemical intolerances and sensitivities?

3. How did you get involved in this work?

4. Your work recognises two things, correct?

• Certain foods and chemicals can drastically influence the physical well-being and behaviour of neurodiverse people and children, and
• These can cause Autism and ADHD-like symptoms for some individuals

5. Don’t many symptoms labelled as ADHD or Autism (like restlessness, emotional dysregulation, and brain fog) overlap perfectly with food chemical sensitivity?

6. How can a parent or adult distinguish an inherent neurodivergent trait from a physiological reaction to food chemicals?

7. You often separate behaviors into "the restless ones" (hyperactivity, ODD) and "the quiet ones" (brain fog, anxiety). Do they react differently to different things?

8. What work did you do with RPAH?

9. How has your work influenced the Australian health system?
