ADHD & Nutrition

Are you looking for a different perspective for you or your child’s ADD or ADHD symptoms?

A variety of symptoms could be classified as characteristics of ADD or ADHD. There are many ways to approach these symptoms naturally.

It’s widely supported that ADHD is a neurologic disorder. The brain is highly sensitive to environmental exposures like the toxic elements lead, mercury, arsenic and aluminum as well as other dangerous chemicals and pesticides. Studies have shown that lead in particular can cause lower IQ levels, learning disabilities and hyperactive behavior.

Digestive issues like food allergies and intolerances, poor diet, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and overall poor digestive function can also play a part with ADHD symptoms.
