With Dave Rex

Dave Rex is a specialist dietician based at the Pines with expertise in diet relating to autism and ADHD.

The film looks at knowing if a diet is good enough, how diet affects body and brain, why we eat the way we do, how children can learn about nutrition, and how to influence a selective eater.
