ADHD: What Your Kids Eat Might be Making Symptoms Worse | POF181

If you have a child with ADHD, chances are, your child’s behavior has changed the way you thought your family would be together.  ADHD can cause a child to have severe tantrums, intense hyperactivity, uncontrollable impulsivity and can toggle between lack of focus and intense focus.   It turns out there is a huge connection between certain foods and inflammation that can greatly increase and intensify ADHD behaviors.  Many of us have heard about the brain-gut connection but this is the first time I’m learning about it as it relates to ADHD.  I’m hanging off every word of my guest, Dana Kay, who since her son’s diagnosis, has dedicated her life to helping her son and other families regain the calm and harmony in their homes by managing ADHD in a different way.  This episode left me feeling frustrated and angry because the things I learned about ADHD from Dana have never been brought up to me by any medical professionals for the 15+ years we’ve been trying to find answers to help with my son’s intense behaviors and big emotions brought on by ADHD.  I know many of you feel the same way.     In this episode, we talk about: How to build a solid nutritional foundation for the body How reducing inflammation is key to lessening symptoms Why certain foods are so detrimental What ADHD kids need to eat more of Hidden stressors in your child’s body and how to find out what they are This is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on my podcast and I hope you’ll listen and try some of Dana’s recommendations.  My family will be doing it right along with you!  For a copy of Dana’s ADHD Kid Friendly Breakfast Recipes, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox.  www.parent-toolbox.com About Dana Kay Dana Kay is a Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner and the CEO and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute and the creator of the ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program.

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
