ADHD is one of the most common types of neurodivergence in children. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most heavily medicated from an early age. My guest, Dana Kay, joins me to talk about how she reduced her child’s ADHD medication, improved his diet by removing inflammatory foods, and helps other families thrive with ADHD.

 

Common Side Effects of ADHD Medication

  1. Loss of appetite
  2. Inability to sleep
  3. Comedown effects like worse tantrums
  4. Anxiety
  5. Weight loss and growth stunting
  6.  

    About Dana Kay

    Dana Kay is a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and the founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute and The ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. As a mother of a child with ADHD, she knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. She also knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms.
