Nutrition, Neurodivergence & Big Pharma’s Profiteering

In this week's newsletter we explore two pressing issues impacting mental health:

In our guest feature by Patrick Holford, we examine how poor nutrition may be fuelling the rise in neurodivergent conditions in children. Discover why diet plays a pivotal role in brain development—and how a shift toward nutrient-rich foods could help safeguard young minds.

As mental health struggles reach alarming levels, Big Pharma is cashing in. We uncover how the industry’s profit-driven approach is shaping the mental health landscape—often at the expense of genuine, holistic care.
