5 Key Food Strategies to Improve ADHD and Behavior Challenges

This week’s question is from Monica,

“My seven-year-old son has been diagnosed with ADHD, and I do recognize that the diagnosis describes the symptoms he has: poor attention, especially in school, problems managing his emotions and behaviors, he doesn’t think before he acts a lot of the time. But he’s also very smart and quite talented with art, and he really enjoys playing sports. I’m considering all of the treatment options, and want to try as many non-medication supports as I can before deciding if we want to try prescription medication. I’ve heard about food changes that can improve symptoms of ADHD, but I’m not sure what information to believe or really where to start. I trust you as a source of accurate information, so I’d love your thoughts on this.”

In this episode, I will address the important role nutrition and diet play in ADHD or any type of behavior challenges. Plus you’ll learn my 5 key food strategies to start improving symptoms. You may want to take notes. It helps to try these things in a stepwise approach rather than trying everything all at once.
