Sandrine Olmi | ADHD, Nutrition & Neurodiversity: Nourishing Neurodivergent Families Holistically

Feeling stuck between diagnosis and dinner? ADHD parenting is more chaos than calm—but what if nutrition could be one of your strongest tools?

In today’s episode, I sit down with Sandrine Olmi—a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Certified Mind–Body Eating Coach, and fierce advocate for neurodivergent families—to dive deep into ADHD, nutrition, and sensory-friendly feeding.

Sandrine is not your average nutritionist. She’s a mum to an AuDHD daughter, a Nutrigenomics specialist, and the brilliant founder behind Savoir Fayre Nutrition, where she empowers anxious moms and their differently-wired kids with practical, shame-free nutrition solutions 

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why mitochondrial & gut-brain health are game-changers for kids with ADHD, autism, sensory needs, and executive dysfunction
• How nutrigenomics can illuminate what's really missing in your kiddo's diet
• Simple, joyful food strategies (no kale smoothies mandated) that actually work for picky eaters, PDA profiles, and overstimulated family tables
• Real talk on self-care, meal-time overwhelm, and ditching the guilt trap of “good parent” vs. “bad eater”

If you’re desperate for clarity—like, “can food actually help ADHD symptoms?”—this is your nerdy, comforting, slightly unhinged parenting pep talk. Grab your coffee (or a glass of wine) and hit play.
