Do Not over look magnesium in supporting ADHD symptoms !
Kids with ADHD have lower levels of magnesium
Most kids not NOT consume enough on their diet
Many available preparations : most bio available are Threonate, Citrate , Chloride and Glycinate
Evidence in animal models that Threonate may have higher levels in the brain so is preferred by many for ADHd and sleep.

Stop using the BRAT diet when your kids have diarrhea ..
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce

💩 Don’t be offended, but you’re probably managing diarrhea wrong.
Here are the 4 simple steps to doing it RIGHT and keeping your child out of the ER:
1️⃣ Rehydrate (first 3–4 hours):
Start with a balanced ORS like to rehydrate over 3–4 hours.
💧 Give approx:
• 20 lbs → 1 liter
• 40 lbs → 2 liters
• 60 lbs → 3 liters
2️⃣ Replace ongoing losses:
Every time your child has diarrhea, they lose fluids again so you need to keep replacing those.
💩 After each loose stool:
• Under 20 lbs → give 2–4 oz of ORS
• Over 20 lbs → give 4–8 oz of ORS
This helps maintain hydration after the initial rehydration phase
For both steps 1 & 2, we use and love kids. No artificial dyes or flavors, no added sugar, pediatrician-formulated, and kids actually drink it!
3️⃣ Gut support:
• Zinc: 5–10 mg daily
• S. Bouldarii probiotic (shown to reduce duration and severity)
4️⃣ Skip the BRAT diet!
No need to restrict food, just return to your child’s regular diet as soon as they can tolerate it.
You’ve got this!

Most people overlook the importance of iron in your child’s ADHD
Ferritin is the BEST marker for iron in the body
I individualize iron supplementation based on serum Ferritin level
Target Ferritin levels generally between 30-50 for optimal impact on ADHD symptoms
Levels 50 or more if sleep is also a significant issue

Cure continues to be a game changer in my office for sick kids needing hydration support
Natural ingredients without added sugars or artificial dyes
As important - I’ve found sick kids are more willing to drink it because of the great taste !
