Their inclusion was a highly intentional decision as they serve specific purposes for neurodivergent individuals. Plantain and tigernut flours are rich in resistant starch and prebiotic fiber that actively support gut health, which is crucial given the established gut-brain connection relevant to autism. Unlike typical gluten-free flours, these options provide stable blood sugar and sustainable energy. Nuzest protein was selected for its exceptional digestibility, smooth texture, and clean ingredient profile – three factors particularly important for those with sensory sensitivities. While these ingredients may be less common in standard grocery stores, they’re widely available online and are a true investment in your overall health. If you prefer not to use specific ingredients or don’t have access to them, substitution options are provided throughout the cookbook for this reason. "I have been waiting for a cookbook like this and finally it's here! I'm so grateful to Livia for coming up with this amazing collection of delicious healthy recipes, with ingredients carefully selected for those with allergies and to benefit and balance those who are neurodivergent. This book is truly something special. A must have for all, especially if you or any family members have any type of eating disorder as Livia is an absolute expert in this area and has even considered textures and tastes for those with sensory eating issues. My autistic daughter with ARFID looks up to Livia very much after reading her book Rainbow Girl and doing her courses. We are both equally impressed with the ease of making these healthy and very tasty treats, and can't wait to work our way through the rest of the book." — Donna, mother of autistic child "Nourishing Neurodiversity is an amazing book filled with so many recipes and insight. Livia breaks down recipes in ways that are really helpful and unique. She knows what it's like to walk out of the kitchen due to overwhelm. There are so many ways to make each recipe and the steps are really easy to follow. Her recipes are also great for GI issues and allergies. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and sense of humor while writing this book. Livia has made cooking a lot more accessible to me. I'm always recommending this book to other neurodivergent people." — Brianna, neurodivergent individual with ED lived experience "This book is amazing!! Really accessible meals, no fancy over the top ingredients that seem overwhelming. Everything is laid out nicely with the photos, easy to follow instructions which is great as an autistic person. It has air fryer meals in it too which is awesome as I love my air fryer! Such a good variety of meals/snacks. I can't wait to try everything in this book as I make my way through it. Really would recommend this to anyone who's autistic. 10/10!" — Lex, neurodivergent individual with ED lived experience "I got this book a few days ago and have already tried several of the recipes, all of which were delicious. I love the pictures, tips, ingredient substitutions and information, and easy to follow directions. Livia's writing style is engaging and conversational which makes this cookbook even better. Definitely would recommend and I look forward to trying more of the recipes!" — Valerie, neurodivergent individual with ED lived experience Looking for recipes that are neurodiversity-affirming, improve executive functioning, and support gut health?
