Whole oats.
It provides slow-release energy, promotes concentration, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and helps prevent spikes in irritability or mental fatigue.
Every bite can also be a way of saying: I'm here for you.
At Florecer, we help you transform food into a daily act of care, respect, and connection.
When we are mothers, fathers, or caregivers of neurodivergent individuals, we often look for tools to help them regulate their emotions, concentrate better, or reduce their anxiety. What we’re not always told is that part of that support begins with something as everyday as food.
What they eat also influences how they feel, how they think, and how they relate to each other. And you can be that loving bridge between their nutrition and their emotional well-being.
Excess refined sugar
Can cause hyperactivity followed by fatigue.
Ultra-processed foods with colorings and additives
These are linked to increased irritability and difficulty concentrating.
Skipping meals or long fasts
Can lead to episodes of anxiety or overload.
REMEMBER: it's not about “eating perfectly,” but about eating with love and awareness.
Feeding shouldn’t be a source of stress or control, but rather an opportunity to lovingly nsupport your child, create safe rituals, and teach them to listen to their bodies. Accompanying with love also means not forgetting yourself.
Nourish the body, nourish the soul: an invitation to neurodivergent well-being
Did you know that what you eat not only nourishes your body, but can also transform how you feel, think, and connect with the world?
As a chef working alongside a nutritionist, I’ve witnessed something profoundly revealing: when nutrition is adapted to reflect neurodivergence, it opens the door to mental clarity, emotional balance, and an energy that sustains without exhausting.
It’s not about imposing diets or counting calories.
It’s about learning to listen to your body and understanding how certain nutrients can be silent allies of your brain. In this talk, I want to invite you to look at nutrition from a different perspective. Where food isn’t an enemy, but a tool for well-being.
We will share:
Nutrients
How nutrients can support neurological function.
Foods
What foods to avoid to reduce irritability, fatigue, and brain fog.
Diet
How to build a kind, flexible, and functional diet to support neurodivergent life with compassion.
