Show Notes:
Getting an ADHD diagnosis these days is scarily common! How is it diagnosed, why are so many young boys being medicated for it, and how can it actually be treated and cured? Like all of my episodes, I get brutally honest about how we as parents need to be caring for our children's health better, showing them a good example, and advocating for them instead of putting them on medication. I'm sharing research studies of the importance of your gut health from birth, and how that impacts your child's lifelong health. This episode is full of tips for those who are preparing to become parents, as well as how you can care for your child, making sure they have the nutrients and gut health they need to thrive!
