I have recently been working with a teenager who has been having very bad mood swings which we have linked down to food. This got me thinking how many other parents could be trying to change their teenager behaviour when all they made need to change is their diet?

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf
