ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children under 18. The prevalence of ADHD is rising dramatically, with 1 in 20 children being on behavior modifying medications such as Adderall and Ritalin. These are medications that act as central nervous system stimulants, and can cause nervousness, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, vomiting, mood swings, an increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and even psychosis in susceptible individuals.

Most research indicates the increase in ADHD is directly linked to poor gut health, the food that children eat, how they sleep and even how they breath.

Join us in this episode as we explore natural alternatives for ADHD including diet, lifestyle, and supplements, that can help your kids (and adults) focus better and beat hyperactivity.

In this episode, we delve into the world of antinutrients, those compounds found in certain foods that have garnered a reputation for being harmful to our health. While antinutrients can interfere with the absorption of nutrients in our bodies, the truth is they're not as harmful as many health influencers make them out to be. We explore the science behind antinutrients, debunking common myths and misconceptions. Instead of demonizing these compounds, we shed light on their potential benefits and how our bodies can adapt to them.
