Neuroscience made useful.
Where research meets real life.
A shared learning community for people living and working with neurodivergence.
What is The Circle?
Research can be dry and tricky to translate into something useful.
The Circle is a shared learning space where research, lived experience and professional knowledge all inform one another.
How it works
Each week, I will share a research-led article, practical resource or question for us to think about together.
Once a month, we will meet online for a structured conversation. We will take a topic, connect it with current evidence and make room for questions, reflection and different perspectives.
As a member, you help shape the questions we ask, the topics we discuss and the resources we create, so the community can respond to what people genuinely need and want to understand.
We will listen, think, learn and make connections together, bringing nutrition, neuroscience, the gut-brain axis and neurodivergent lived experience into ordinary life and professional practice.
You do not need to be a practitioner. You might join through professional interest, lived experience, or the place where the two meet. If you would like to know a little more about membership, you can find answers to the most common questions in the FAQs below.
Inside the Circle
What’s included?
-
We will meet online once a month for a structured conversation shaped by current evidence and members’ questions. This will be a community space to listen, reflect and learn from different perspectives.
Guest speakers and contributors from the neurodivergence space will join the circle gatherings every now and and then.
The upcoming Circle Gathering dates are listed here.
-
Each month, I will choose an anchor paper to guide our Journal Club conversation. I will introduce the paper, translate key parts of the science into plain English and help distinguish between what the evidence shows, what the authors propose and what still needs further research. During the month, I will share questions, reflections and occasional related resources, while members’ comments help shape where the conversation goes next.

The library will include guides, workbooks and reflective tools for ordinary life and professional practice. New resources will respond to themes and needs emerging from the community.
This month’s resource is the 4-Signal Map. Click here to learn more about it.

This month in the Journal Club, we are exploring Lewis, Lagopoulos and Villani’s 2025 paper on gut–brain inflammatory pathways in ADHD and the possible therapeutic role of diet. Together, we will look beyond the headline claims to distinguish what the evidence currently supports, what the authors propose and what still requires further research, before considering what it might mean for lived experience and professional practice. Members can add questions and reflections throughout the month, then continue the conversation at our Circle Gathering.
This month's resource: The 4-Signal Map
A neuroscience-based practical resource to guide you through a kinder way to understand difficult moments with food.
The practical guide takes you through four points: what was happening Before, what your system was seeking During, what appeared After, and which small act of Repair might reduce harm and offer support.
The workbook allows you to reflect and act on your reflections.
Available to Circle Members only.
