Your child is NOT “bad” or “defiant.” As an expert in orthomolecular biochemistry ive learned one thing. It’s not behavior, it’s biology… Every single cycle in the body is ruled by biochemical enzymes.
Take slow COMT for example… the body manufactures catecholamines like dopamine and norepinephrine at a normal rate but slow COMT (catecholamine methyl transferase) means slow enzyme activity breaking them down. Therefore too many catecholamines floating in the synapse. Since they share a backbone with adrenaline this manifests as racing thoughts and/or hyperactivity.
It causes nervous system dysregulation and they are more wired at baseline. These are some common ADHD genetic signatures curated by Katie Gironda.
So what do we do?
Fortunately by “plugging in” accessory nutrients we can aid this enzyme activity along to optimize these biochemical systems.
