- Talks excessively
- Interruptive
Combined
- A combination of both innattentive and hyperactive symptoms
CAUSES AND TRIGGERS
Nutritional deficiencies, gut imbalances, heavy metals, prenatal trauma all predispose a child to ADHD symptoms.
Gluten, corn, & dairy intolerance in particular are highly aggravating for ADHD
Exacerbates hyperactivity, upregulates inflammation in the gut and brain to worsen ADHD symptoms
Bacterial and yeast overgrowth in the gut is highly correlated with ADHD and neurotransmitter imbalances
Increased activity of inflammatory cytokines is associated with ADHD development in both children and adults
Excessive metals are highly neurotoxic and are damaging to our regular neurodevelopmental processes.
Higher toxic load is associated increased risk of ADHD and poorer mental health outcomes.
Depletes levels of B6, zinc and magnesium which affects & hijacks regular neurotransmitter production.
Zinc, vitamin D3, essential fatty acids, and iron are all essential nutrients for healthy serotonin and dopamine production, as well as thyroid hormone production which has a direct influence on brain function.
High levels of copper and metals cause imbalances in the copper/ zinc ratio which can cause ADHD and neurotoxic symptoms.
