This episode kicks off our special summer series, where we're bringing back some of our most-loved previous episodes from The Soaring Child Podcast. We chose these episodes because they speak directly to what so many families are navigating this time of year: more screens, disrupted routines, travel, toxins, processed foods, picky eating, meltdowns, burnout, and the eventual transition back to school. We're starting with this episode on The Most Effective Natural Solutions for ADHD because it is the perfect starting point for parents who are just starting out and for those who have been on this road for a while.

If you could only choose three things to focus on to reduce ADHD symptoms naturally, what would they be? Dana Kay, holistic health and nutrition practitioner, answered that question in this episode.

If you're just starting out, she shared 3 beginner strategies. If you've been doing this for a while and feel like you've got a grasp on the beginner strategies, she shared some intermediate strategies. Finally, if you consider yourself an expert, she shared the top strategies for experts as well.

These strategies are the pillars that can make a significant difference in the life of a child with ADHD. So, whether you're just starting out on the journey or you're looking to refine your approach, this episode is for you!

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

"Diet is the foundation of any plan to reduce ADHD symptoms naturally. The food we consume plays a crucial role in how our bodies and brains function." "Supplements should never be considered the be-all and end-all for ADHD support. As I say often, you can't supplement your way out of a poor diet. BUT, in conjunction with dietary changes, supplements can be very beneficial." "Research shows that taking probiotics can help support that gut-brain connection. But, the problem with a lot of probiotics is that the strains don't survive digestion." "Functional lab tests can uncover underlying issues that might be contributing to ADHD symptoms, such as nutrient deficiencies, parasites, leaky gut, food sensitivities, mold, etc." "Our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins, and for children with ADHD, reducing this toxic burden is really important." "It is impossible to get rid of all toxins from your life, so that's why it's important to optimize detoxification." "Once you're in the thriving phase, it's important to reassess the supplements your child is taking. Maintenance supplements are about supporting ongoing health and preventing regression."
