My guest this week is Dr. Bonnie
Kaplan, a research psychologist and semi-retired Professor at the
University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine. Dr. Bonnie has
published widely on the biological basis of developmental disorders
and mental health – particularly, the contribution of nutrition to brain development
and brain function. Her
efforts to include nutrition knowledge in the care of people with
mental health challenges have earned her a variety of awards,
including the Dr. Rogers Prize and in 2017 she was selected as one
of 150 Canadian Difference Makers in Mental
Health.
In
this episode, Dr. Kaplan and I discuss how to make pill swallowing
easier for children and adults. Dr. Kaplan’s evidence-based
techniques have helped thousands conquer this essential life skill.
Many children and adults, especially those dealing with
developmental and mental health disorders, struggle daily with
pill-swallowing whether it be necessary vitamins, minerals, or
vital medications. Dr. Kaplan shares key tips on how to
successfully implement her pill-swallowing techniques empowering
its users to independently manage this daily task entirely on their
own. Dr. Kaplan’s new
book, ‘The Better Brain’, co-authored with her former student Dr.
Julia Rucklidge, is full of anecdotes, stories, and simplified
scientific works to help readers understand the importance of
nutrients for brain function.
