19th March 2026 marks 28 wonderful years in private practice, and I couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful way to celebrate than spending it with the incredible QSI Shenzhen community and their invited guests, including educators from Merchiston International School Shenzhen during Neurodiversity Week.

I was deeply touched to see different generations come together to learn about the profound connection between nutrition, gut health, immunity, and how these factors influence emotions, focus, sleep, and learning.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Jonathan Hay, Director of Student Support Services, for inviting me and for your commitment to fostering understanding and inclusion.

To Ms. Erica Tang, for her seamless real-time translation of my talk—your support made the event a success.

To Ms. Diane Darrien for her amazing support of the event and a special thank you to Mike Thorniley, whose vibrant rainbow outfit added so much energy and joy to the day. Having the event on Rainbow Day at the school, which celebrates neurodiversity in all its colours, made it even more special.

Neurodiversity appreciation reminds us that our brains are as unique as our fingerprints—and that these differences, when understood and supported, can become our greatest strengths. Whether through nutrition, education, or simply a willingness to learn, we all have a role to play in creating a world where every mind can thrive.

Here’s to many more years of learning, connection, and growth!
Happy Ugadi - Guddi Padwa and Eid Mubarak! Best Wishes of Good Health and Peace
