What if some of the support your child with ADHD needs could start with what’s on their plate?

In this episode, we’re joined by Sarah Langley, an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder/co-owner of Child Kind Psychiatry in Beverly Hills. Sarah specializes in nutritional psychiatry for kids and teens—supporting ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more with a balanced, whole-child approach that can include nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, therapy supports, and (when appropriate) medication.

We talk about the powerful connection between the gut and the brain, and how the “building blocks” from food can impact mood, focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and day-to-day functioning. Sarah also walks us through what an integrative ADHD treatment plan can look like from foundational habits like sleep and movement to supplements she commonly considers (like magnesium, omega-3s, and probiotics) and how families decide whether medication, holistic strategies, or a combination makes the most sense.

You’ll also hear one of the biggest dietary changes that research suggests can make a meaningful difference for some kids with ADHD—plus what parents should look for when choosing supplements in a market that can feel overwhelming.

If you’re parenting a child with ADHD (or honestly, any child navigating the stress of modern life), this conversation will leave you feeling more informed, more empowered, and more clear on what “holistic support” can actually look like in real life.
