This week I’m chatting with Toni Chambers, a Clinical Nutritionist at The Paediatric Naturopath. In our clinic, Toni’s interests include behavioural disorders, pyrrole disorder, digestive concerns, and sleep difficulties, and she recognises the importance of working alongside families to support their children. We’re speaking today about childhood aggression and the connection to nutrition, as well as environmental triggers that could exacerbate these issues.
In this episode, we explore:
- Common clinical presentations
- The importance of supporting the whole family
- Possible contributors to nutrient deficiencies and behavioural issues
- Why some infections can be linked to aggression
- How Toni supports the families she works with
- Common stressors that can affect a child
- About copper and its effects on the brain
- Environmental toxins and heavy metals associated with aggression
- Changes you can make in your home and family
