WHY NUTRITIOUS MINDS TRUST EXISTS

Neurodivergent people deserve more than awareness. They deserve meaningful support

Nutritious Minds Trust brings together science, education, nutrition, creativity and community to support neurodivergent children, young people, adults and families. We provide practical support, education, mentoring, community programmes and opportunities, while working with schools, universities, workplaces and other services to create environments in which different minds are understood, valued and able to flourish.

WE ARE BUILDING COMMUNITIES WHERE DIFFERENT MINDS ARE UNDERSTOOD, VALUED AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLOURISH

Meet our Founder 

DR RACHEL V GOW

CPsychol | NUTRITIONAL NEUROSCIENTIST | PhD | RNutr

Nutritious Minds Trust was founded by Dr Rachel V. Gow, a Chartered Psychologist, Child Neuropsychologist, Nutritional Neuroscientist and Registered Nutritionist whose work has focused on ADHD, neurodivergence and brain health for more than 15 years. The charity grew from both professional experience and lived experience. As a young mother raising a son with ADHD and Dyslexia, Rachel experienced first-hand the challenges families can face when understanding, appropriate support and opportunity are difficult to access.

​

Her vision for Nutritious Minds Trust is to bring science out of academic and clinical settings and into communities, connecting evidence with practical support, education, creativity and opportunity so that neurodivergent people can flourish.
