Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD

29: Importance of Quality Ingredients for ADHD with Autumn Smith


Listen Later

On this week's episode of Soaring Child, Autumn Smith shares the importance of quality ingredients and how buying the right foods can help with ADHD.

Autumn, a certified eating psychology coach and expert in holistic nutrition, explains that the quality ingredients critical to a child's health are whole foods. Always try to buy organic and non-GMO foods, and stay away from sugar, additives, and ingredients you can't pronounce.

Be sure to buy 100% grass-fed and grass finished beef (preferably regeneratively raised), pasture-raised chicken and pork with no antibiotics, and pasteurized eggs. Greens and superfoods are also important to get those critical micronutrients.

Through a few simple dietary practices like prioritizing protein, stabilizing blood sugar, and minding micronutrients, kids with ADHD can maintain their physical and mental wellness well into adulthood.

Memorable Quotes:

"There's this push away from meat, but it is one of the most bioavailable sources of protein."

"I always say if you give the body what it needs and take away what it doesn't, you know it can do amazing things."

"Since I became a mom, I've noticed there's just this profound relationship between your physical and mental health and what you're putting in your body."

"Vegetables, fruits, eating from the rainbow. All of those different colors and those pigments, they're actually acting in different ways in our body, giving us different benefits, feeding different bugs in our guts."

"Gut health is the most important aspect of our health, right? It drives our brain health, our physical health, and everything."
