218: The 3 Best Natural Strategies to Reduce ADHD Symptoms in Kids

This episode kicks off our special summer series, where we're bringing back some of our most-loved previous episodes from The Soaring Child Podcast. We chose these episodes because they speak directly to what so many families are navigating this time of year: more screens, disrupted routines, travel, toxins, processed foods, picky eating, meltdowns, burnout, and the eventual transition back to school. We're starting with this episode on The Most Effective Natural Solutions for ADHD because it is the perfect starting point for parents who are just starting out and for those who have been on this road for a while. If you could only choose three things to focus on to reduce ADHD symptoms naturally, what would they be? Dana Kay, holistic health and nutrition practitioner, answered that question in this episode. If you're just starting out, she shared 3 beginner strategies. If you've been doing this for a while and feel like you've got a grasp on the beginner strategies, she shared some intermediate strategies. Finally, if you consider yourself an expert, she shared the top strategies for experts as well. These strategies are the pillars that can make a significant difference in the life of a child with ADHD. So, whether you're just starting out on the journey or you're looking to refine your approach, this episode is for you!
