Aggression, Violence and Omega-3: From Evidence to Practice
Aggressive, 'challenging' and violent behaviour always reflects many interacting factors.
Nutrition is one of the most fundamental, and most modifiable of these
- so why is it largely ignored?
- and what can be done about it?
The recording of this webinar and Q&A session is available to watch now.
As rates of aggression, violence, and antisocial behaviour continue to rise in schools, clinical settings and communities, the need for more effective prevention and intervention strategies is more urgent and important than ever.
Groundbreaking research consistently points to a crucial — yet often overlooked — factor: the effects of poor nutrition on brains and behaviour.
FAB Research has longstanding connections with many of the world's leading researchers in this area, and we are delighted to bring you an update of the latest findings - and their real-world implications - in this specialist webinar:
'Aggression, Violence & Omega 3: From Evidence to Practice'
Join Dr Joseph Hibbeln and
Dr Alex Richardson
for an expert presentation and related Q&A on this timely subject to learn more about:
- The hidden costs of nutritional neglect, and its impact on behaviour - and how common deficiencies of essential omega-3 fats (and other key brain nutrients) can fuel anger, aggression, and violence - in families, schools, and society
- The biological connections between nutrition and antisocial - or prosocial - behaviour, and how these interact with psychological and social influences
- What modern-day diets are doing to the brain (often without us realising it) — and key facts about nutrition and mental health that are largely missing from both current debates, and public health policies.
- How the implementation of some simple, low-cost and evidence-based nutritional interventions could reduce aggressive and antisocial behaviour — in prisons, classrooms, clinics and communities.
- Practical information on dietary strategies and tactics to complement other approaches for managing anger and aggression.

Feedback from attendees of this event:
"FAB videos are an amazing way to find out how diet and nutrition can impact health and mental wellbeing. Absolutely fascinating range of talks and information.
"I support Food and Behaviour Research because they are truly doing humankind a service. Nothing could be more important than helping people make the connection between food and behaviour, given the disturbing increases in violence and self harm that we see in developed societies. Helping families understand the impact food choices has on the health of family members at every age is a gift to public health."
"Superb. Dr. Hibbeln is a very engaging speaker."
"Thought provoking and excellent."
