\n

Registration is open for the 28th annual Omaha Women\u2019s Health & Wellness Conference, set for Friday, Nov. 7. The conference will provide a wide variety of health education lectures and a health fair with exhibits from UNMC and Nebraska Medicine departments, clinics and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference is hosted by the Olson Center for Women\u2019s Health, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. Continuing education will be provided for nurses and social workers. Registration fees are $75 for the general public and $110 for nurses and social workers. Registration closes on Friday, Oct. 31. There is no virtual component for the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference will feature two main sessions and multiple breakout sessions. Conference offerings can be viewed at the Omaha Women\u2019s Health & Wellness Conference website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pediatric dietitian nutritionist Amy Volkman\u2019s breakout session, she will explore the connection between food dyes, diet and children\u2019s behavior. Volkman is a registered dietitian nutritionist in the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute’s pediatric feeding disorders department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many foods marketed to kids contain artificial dyes, raising concerns among parents, especially about possible links to hyperactivity. But the science can be confusing. Do we need to avoid food dyes completely? What kinds of health impacts do food dyes have? What foods actually contain them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volkman\u2019s talk, titled \u201cBehavior on a Plate,\u201d will review the research surrounding food dyes to keep the audience informed of the most recent science. The talk will go beyond food dyes, as well, looking at overall diet quality and other nutrition concerns that could impact a child\u2019s behavior. For example, deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can lead to behavioral concerns, such as irritability, low energy and gut issues. At the same time, children\u2019s behavior, including neurodivergent traits, can influence their eating habits, creating a cycle that many families find challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of blaming one ingredient, Volkman encourages a more balanced understanding of how nutrition impacts behavior. Her presentation will help health care providers and parents better understand which diet changes might make the biggest difference and where to find the right support and resources for their child\u2019s nutrition needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
