The 3 steps I’d take if I was starting my kids’ ADHD nutrition journey all over again:
1) I’d focus on gut health first. You are what you absorb-not necessarily what you eat. Even the best diet in world won’t help your child if their gut health and digestion are not functioning optimally.
2) I’d start a broad-spectrum multi-nutrient such as Hardy Nutritionals sooner. These have been specifically designed to support mood, mental clarity, & behaviour. Out of all the supplements we tried, I saw the most benefit for my son after starting these.
3) I’d start therapy for myself first! We started with therapy for the boys, and honestly, it was a waste of time & energy. Once I started getting the support (therapy) I needed, I was SOO much better able to co-regulate, understand, & support the boys in the ways they needed.
Making dietary & lifestyle changes is not a quick fix but these 3 steps will give you the most bang for your buck when you’re first starting your ADHD nutrition journey.
Nutrition and lifestyle habits are the foundation to supporting your child with ADHD experience better moods, behaviours, and focus.
That's why I created my program "The Nourished Brain: Your Child’s ADHD Nutrition Blueprint." A 16-week 1:1 program that guides you through every step you need to take to help you go from choas to calm.
