Memorable Moments:

”ADHD is actually one of the most common mental disorders affecting children. Just in the USA alone, there’s over 6 million children that have been diagnosed, and 3/4 of them are receiving treatment of strong medication and/or behavior therapy.”

”ADHD symptoms can be reduced - not just from medications. There are other strategies out there that can help a child thrive without just pounding on different medications and dealing with the side effects.”

”Just the basic day-to-day life without constant ups and downs and tension was all I wanted.”

”Inflammation leads to difficult ADHD symptoms.”

”Our bodies have these pathways called detoxification pathways that clean out that trash - those toxins, those viruses, that bacteria, foreign substances that are really affecting our body, affecting our kid’s body.”

”The way that wheat is processed in the USA today is so different to how it was…hundreds of years ago.”

”There are artificial dyes that are banned in Canada, Europe, and Australia but they’re allowed here in the food supply of the USA without a second thought.”

”When families make this change - that follow my plan - it’s not just the child that starts to thrive. It’s the whole family.”

”The importance of diet in ADHD, it isn’t just anecdotal. There is a lot of scientific research out there…There is a clear link between certain foods and ADHD symptoms.”

Lab testing “is that really valuable tool to look beneath the surface and identify specific challenges with that gut or other areas that may be contributing to ADHD.”

”We as parents hold the key to our child’s nervous system until they are 18 years old. So they actually borrow our nervous system to regulate themselves.”
