SUMMARY:ND in the body - The current research on neurodivergence & physical health
DESCRIPTION:What if neurodivergence is as much about the body as it is about the brain? \nFor decades\, neurodivergence has largely been discussed through the lens of behaviour\, cognition and mental health. But emerging research is increasingly exploring whether many neurodivergent experiences may also involve differences in whole-body regulation – including the nervous system\, immune system\, hormones and connective tissue. \nThis session will explore what current research says\, where the evidence is strongest\, and which areas remain emerging and debated. \nResearch areas we’ll explore: \n– Nervous system regulation – autonomic function\, sensory processing\, stress physiology and POTS\n– Immune system signalling – inflammation\, histamine\, mast cells and neuroimmune communication\n– Hormones and neuroendocrinology – PMS\, PMDD\, peri/menopause and hormonal sensitivity in ND people\n– Connective tissue and hypermobility – EDS\, chronic pain\, proprioception and emerging overlap research \nWe’ll also explore: \n– Why burnout may be physical as well as psychological\n– Why symptoms often cluster across different body systems\n– Why many ND people spend years moving between medical specialties\n– What researchers still don’t fully understand \nExpect a science-focused but accessible session bridging neuroscience\, immunology\, endocrinology and systems biology\, with practical explanations and real-world context throughout. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the emerging brain-body science of neurodivergence\, how different areas of research are beginning to connect and why many researchers are increasingly approaching ND through a more integrated lens. \n  \nPresented by Scotti McLaren\, Investigative Health – in collaboration with Neurodiversity Belgium \nScotti is a Geneva-based functional medicine practitioner. She specialises in brain and hormonal health\, with a focus on neurodivergence and menopause. \nHer academic background includes an MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health (King’s College London)\, a BSc in Nutritional Science (Middlesex University) and a diploma in Personalised Nutrition Practice (CNELM). \nKnown for her investigative approach\, Scotti uses functional medicine to connect systemic and cellular insights with everyday experience.
