In Making Sense of Me, Victoria Hall shares the lessons she learnt from rebuilding herself after being overwhelmed by the challenges she faced in her life. She takes you on a journey of self-discovery, using her life experiences and neuroscientific insights into human behaviour to help you find yourself. You will learn that in order to even contemplate change, you need to accept where you are in life and who you are today. Asking for help, slowing down and understanding your emotions are critical in this process. Victoria teaches that you must align with your beliefs but keep in mind that as much as our beliefs anchor us, they sometimes limit us. It is critical to have the right people around you to provide support as you embark on this fascinating and life changing journey of self-discovery. If you struggle with your responses to life experiences, this is the book for you. The change begins with you.

Nutrients play a significant role in brain development throughout fetal and postnatal life. This book reviews the evidence from animal and human research, highlighting the influence of specific nutrients on brain function and cognitive development. With a unique, integrative approach to the nutritional, environmental, and genetic influences on brain development, the book examines issues such as single versus multiple limiting nutrients, critical periods of deficiency, and the impact of the child-parent relationship on the architecture of the developing brain. The effect of undernutrition on the developing brain of infants and young children can be devastating and enduring. It can impede behavioural and cognitive development and educability, thereby undermining future work productivity. Chapter authors are experts in this field of research and provide an up-to-date insight into the role of the individual nutrients in brain development and function.
