The What's Eating Your Child Audit

Find out how food is driving behaviours in ADHD or moody kids

Ruth Fellowes | Certified Practising Nutritionist | Goulburn NSW | Working with families across Australia

Understand what's driving your child's mood, focus and behaviour through a simple online assessment outline the next step, by an experienced paediatric ADHD nutritionist.

You've probably tried a lot of things

What you haven't had yet is a clear picture of what's happening inside your child's body, and why that matters more than any single supplement or diet change.

The What's Eating Your Child Audit gives you exactly that: a structured, clinically informed look at the nutritional and biochemical factors that may be affecting your child's brain, mood, sleep and behaviour.  

No appointments. No overwhelm. Just clear direction on where to focus and what to do next.

The Audit can help when:

  • Your child struggles with mood, focus, sleep or behaviour - diagnosed with ADHD or not - and you want to understand what's happening at a biochemical level, not just manage the symptoms

  • You've followed general advice (cut out sugar, tried supplements, adjusted the diet) and haven't seen a meaningful shift because no one has looked at your child's specific picture

  • You're overwhelmed by conflicting information and want a structured, evidence-based starting point that makes sense of the science

  • You're not ready to commit to a full program yet, but you want expert eyes on your child's situation before deciding what to do next

How it works

Assessments general focus on what a child is doing. This audit focuses on what their body and brain are working with.

By completing the questionnaire provided, the Audit will highlight for you:

  • Potential nutrient imbalances affecting brain function and neurotransmitter balance

  • Gut health patterns that influence mood, behaviour and nutrient absorption

  • Signs of food intolerances or biochemical stress driving inflammation and behavioural spikes

  • Sleep and nervous system regulation and what may be disrupting them

  • Developmental factors that could be limiting your child's progress

Whether your child has a diagnosis or not, the Audit clarifies which internal systems need support - and why.

Questionnaire

You'll answer structured questions covering your child's general health, sleep, mood, behaviour, digestive health and concentration. The questionnaire is designed to build a clear snapshot of how your child's body and brain may be functioning, and takes most parents around 20–30 minutes to complete.

Assessment

I go through your responses with a nutritional and biochemical lens and record a personalised video for your family. In it, I explain which systems and pathways may be under pressure, how this could be affecting your child's behaviour and development, and what the most logical next steps look like, in plain language, not jargon. All ready for you within 3 business days. 

Video Action Plan

Alongside the video, you receive written notes summarising the key findings and a clear recommendation for the next step — whether that's dietary changes, targeted supplementation, functional testing, or one of the support programs. Everything is prioritised so you know exactly where to start, without the guesswork.

No live appointment is required. Everything is delivered to you directly, in your own time.

Parents tell me that receiving the video feels like things are clicking into place. This isn't just more information to wade through, but a map that makes sense of what you have probably already been observing.

FAQs

What exactly do I get for a mini assessment?

You complete a detailed online questionnaire about your child's eating, sleep, moods, digestion and behaviour patterns. I personally review it and record a 30-minute video assessment explaining what I see in your child's nutritional picture, and which drivers I'd prioritise investigating. It's a clinician's read of your child , not an automated generic report.

What happens after this,  is there anything more to buy?

The audit stands on its own. You'll walk away with early steps to take right now, and also what to consider exploring or investigating furthers. If a program I offer is a suitable next step, I'll say which one and why. And if your child needs something different, I'll let you know too. You make the decision in your own time. 

Do I need any testing done first?

No. The Audit works entirely from your observations as a parent (which are more clinically useful than most people realise). If testing would sharpen the picture, the Audit will tell you which test and why, so you aren't investing in something that doesn't address a need. Many families come to me because they can see something isn't right - difficult behaviour, poor sleep, emotional dysregulation, fragile focus-  but haven't had, or aren't seeking a formal diagnosis. The nutritional and biochemical factors I look at are relevant regardless of whether there's a label attached.

How is this different from the free Food, Mood & Behaviour Blueprint?

The Blueprint explains the framework I use with all children. The Audit applies it to your child. If you've read the Blueprint and thought "but which of these applies to us?", then that's the question the Audit answers.

You don't need another opinion.

You need a clear picture of what your child's body and brain are actually asking for so you can stop guessing and start making changes that hold.
