Feeding Focus: How Nutrition Shapes ADHD in Kids


Listen Later

How nutrition, sugar, and food additives affect ADHD symptoms—and simple, realistic steps parents can take to support focus and behavior.


In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Peters to unpack how nutrition directly impacts children with ADHD. We explore why artificial additives, sugar spikes, and nutrient depletion can drive behavior and focus challenges—and how simple shifts toward real food, protein, healthy fats, and balance can make a meaningful difference. This conversation is about realistic, grace-filled nutrition strategies that support the whole family without trauma or perfectionism.
