Neurodivergence in the body: Health conditions and their mechanisms

An online webinar exploring conditions like MCAS, POTS and hormonal dysregulation, common in neurodivergence, through the lens of systemic and cellular health.

Join Scotti McLaren, functional medicine practitioner and nutritional therapist, for a practical and engaging session exploring how physical health conditions intersect with neurodivergence.

If you’ve ever wondered why things like MCAS, POTS or hormone shifts show up for neurodivergent people, this session will unpack the mechanisms at the systemic and cellular level.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:

• Histamine intolerance & MCAS (immune & inflammatory)
• Hypermobility & POTS (connective tissue & circulation)
• Mitochondrial dysfunction (energy & oxidative stress)
• Adrenal/HPA axis dysregulation (stress response & burnout)
• Hormonal dysregulation (menstrual cycle, PMDD, PCOS, perimenopause)

Expect down-to-earth explanations and real-life examples. You’ll leave with ideas you can use straight away, a clearer sense of what might be driving your physical symptoms, and useful questions to ask next.

Scotti McLaren is a Geneva-based functional medicine practitioner and registered nutritional therapist (mBANT). She specialises in brain and hormonal health, with a focus on neurodivergence, burnout, gut–brain health, sleep and menopause.

Her 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). Known for her investigative approach, Scotti uses functional medicine to connect systemic and cellular insights with everyday experience.

She works with individuals using personalised nutrition, lab testing, behaviour change and health coaching — supporting people to make sense of their symptoms and the links between body and brain.
