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?
A FAB Research Expert Webinar and Live Q&A session
Wednesday 11th June 2025*
6.00 - 7.30 pm (BST)
This event will be recorded - so whether or not you can attend live, your booking will allow you to access the full video and handouts afterwards.
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.
