Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD

166: What's Really Driving ADHD? with Dana Kay


Listen Later

Welcome to the debut episode of Crack The Code, a private podcast for parents navigating the often overwhelming world of ADHD. Host Dana Kay, Board-Certified Health and Nutrition Practitioner and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute, shares her raw, personal journey of raising a child with ADHD, and what she discovered after traditional approaches fell short. This isn't another list of parenting hacks or behavior charts. It's a compassionate, science-backed look into what's really going on inside your child's body.

In this powerful first episode, Dana introduces a groundbreaking new perspective on ADHD, one that goes beyond labels and into the underlying biological stressors like inflammation, gut imbalance, and nutrient depletion. If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this series is your new roadmap. Tune in to the first of six exclusive, private podcast episodes.

Memorable Moments:

If you're anything like I was…you've hit that point where "fine" doesn't feel honest anymore.

Tired of trying things that don't work and being the one left to pick up the pieces when they don't?

This isn't your typical podcast. And it's definitely not another list of behavior hacks.

You'll understand what's actually driving your child's symptoms—not just what they look like on the surface.

I remember staring at those prescription bottles on the kitchen counter thinking, "This cannot be the way."

We weren't going to survive this if we kept doing more of the same.

Imagine your child's body like a house. And right now—it's on fire.

Most of what we're taught to do is basically chasing the smoke around with a spray bottle.

When both parents understand the biology behind the behavior, everything shifts.

You don't have to chase symptoms anymore. You don't have to do this alone.
