03/06/23 • 19 min
Did you know your child's symptoms of ADHD are drastically affected by their various nutrient levels? Do you know the power that eating has on your child's health? Do you know what nutrient deficiencies to look for and why?
Today we are focusing exclusively on our kiddos (although what we are talking about can definitely affect adults in your family too!)...today we are talking about ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in the United States, with estimates that 11% of American children have the disorder.
Sooo, chances are, you either have someone in your house that has ADHD or you know someone who does. If you know someone who does, you are definitely going to want to share this episode with them...this is golden info I am sharing today. It could be life changing for them.
I’m not going into the symptoms or anything like that...today we are talking about the 5 most common nutrient deficiencies in children that have ADHD. There are all kinds of studies out there backing up all the info I am sharing today...we just got off a series about superfoods and all the many important nutrients they give us...those minerals and nutrients are really important...and when our bodies do not have the right amount of various vitamins and minerals, they don’t function optimally.
My hope is that it will become your first reaction to think abut what imbalances could be in the body and look to correct that, rather than look to medicine first. And this goes for whatever the ailment or sickness may be. I’m curious, have you even heard of this? Have you heard about nutrient deficiencies either being the cause of or contributing to worse symptoms of ADHD?
If not, then listen up...because here we go!

Why are they Superfoods? Beauty Edition
We are talking all things Superfoods! 3 Episodes ago we introduced this topic, so if you missed it go back and check it out! But we talked about what a superfood is (and the controversy with that name!) and we started with the Fruit Edition then went to the Veggie Edition and then went to the “other” edition.
Today, we are moving on to the Beauty Edition! Because let’s face it mamas, we rarely think about our own needs...so I’m gonna help you out a little bit! You can be making yourself look better simply by the foods you are eating! (and looking for these things in your skincare products!) We are going to talk about how to achieve glowing skin -and target pesky problems-through the foods you are eating!
So just a upper quick recap of the definition of what a “superfood” is:
Simply put, Superfoods are nutritional powerhouses. Superfoods are foods that have a very high nutritional density...they are extremely high in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals and are packed with fiber, as well as antioxidants, enzymes and health fats like omega-3 fatty acids. All of these nutrients are essential to your body so you can thrive. And on top of that, Super foods boost the immune system, help prevent anti-aging, and are linked to the prevention of disease.
All right, our Beauty Category of Superfoods includes: Fermented Foods, Aronia Berries, Sea Buckthorn, Ginger and more! Listen in to hear why and discover all of them.
