    [4:52] Natural ways to address constipation in kids
    [6:09] Why is gut health so important for kids with ADHD

    [26:53] What to do if you’ve tried lots of things and nothing is working

    Memorable Moments:
    ”Constipation is NOT normal. It can definitely contribute to your child’s symptoms…Having a bowel movement, that’s the body’s way of removing toxins, so if we’re not pooping, those toxins are building up in the body.”

    ”The gut-brain connection is so incredibly huge.”

    ”If constipation is building up and you have a breakdown in the gut, that is driving inflammation in the body..which in turn can drive those ADHD symptoms.”

    ”When dysregulation is happening constantly and it’s becoming more frequent…that’s when we need to really start asking questions.”

    ”Remember, your child is not giving you a hard time. They’re having a hard time.”

    ”If you are feeling like, ‘How are we going to go another day like this? This is not sustainable,' then it’s time to put your investigative hat on and start doing something different.”

    ”If your child has bad breath, we need to figure out what’s going on in the body that is driving that because that too is not normal.”

    “The healing starts with us…with the parents.”

    ”Our kids deserve to feel better, and if they’re eating that way, they probably have symptoms that are coming from that…Their body is telling you that you need to do something, so let’s just start taking those baby steps.”

  • 111: Why Traditional ADHD Treatments Don’t Always Work With Dana Kay

    111: Why Traditional ADHD Treatments Don’t Always Work With Dana Kay
    Jun 6 2024

    Why don’t traditional ADHD treatments always work?

    Why does it sometimes feel like no matter what you try - be it medication, supplements, therapy, or various other strategies - that NOTHING actually works long term for your child with ADHD?

    If you’ve ever asked either of these questions, then this episode of the Soaring Child podcast is for you.

    Many times, traditional ADHD treatments don’t work long term because they are focusing on symptom management, NOT actually addressing the underlying stressors of ADHD. Tune in to this episode to learn more.

    Key Takeaways:

    [2:22] Why medication doesn’t always work
    [5:13] Why supplementation doesn’t always work
    [9:05] Why therapy doesn’t always work
    [9:45] Why parent coaching doesn’t always work
    [12:01] Why dietary changes alone don’t always work
    [17:02] The REAL issue parents need to address in order to effectively reduce ADHD symptoms long term

    Memorable Moments:

    ”If you've ever been puzzled by the effectiveness of traditional methods, this is your episode.”

    ”The biggest misconception about ADHD in kids is that medication is the only way to treat it. The problem with medications is that they merely mask the symptoms, without addressing the underlying stressors of ADHD.”

    ”Supplements can be effective and healing in the body. But first, parents need to be sure they are supplementing correctly.”

    “We supplement based on a child’s unique needs, and not use a one size fits all approach. Because one size does not fit all.”

    “Shockingly, many supplements have quality problems.”

    ”We sacrificed a LOT to try therapy for my son, and it did not help at all. Not even a little bit.”

    ”Therapy can be effective, but it’s not the most impactful way of handling ADHD symptoms for the vast majority of children.”

    ”While it is valuable to learn effective parenting strategies, and learn to communicate with your child better, those are almost never the reason children experience ADHD symptoms.”

    ”Diet can definitely make a difference. But, many children with ADHD are picky eaters, and they can act up if they aren’t given foods they like.”

    ”I have never seen a child grow out of ADHD without some kind of changes.”

    ”The truth is, most ADHD strategies…. often miss the mark in addressing the real issue. Instead, they only address the symptoms.”

    ”The reason traditional ADHD treatments don’t work long term is because they are focusing on symptom management, NOT actually addressing the underlying stressor of the ADHD.”

    ”The World Health Organization ranks chronic inflammatory diseases as the greatest threat to human health.”

    110: One Family’s Experience with Functional Lab Testing for ADHD with Marisa Faassen
    May 30 2024

    Have you ever wondered if there was more you could do to understand and manage your child's ADHD symptoms?

    One family's journey with functional lab testing might just offer the answers you're looking for. In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast episode, you can hear from Marisa, the mother of a child with ADHD who used functional lab testing to support her child.

    Hear their story and discover how you too might benefit from this approach.

    Thriving with ADHD Book - adhdthriveinstitute.com/book

    Key Takeaways:
    [4:27] About Marisa & her family’s journey with ADHD
    [9:43] Why Marisa decided to explore functional lab testing for her child
    [14:32] The lab tests Marisa did with her child
    [19:24] Key findings from the lab tests
    [23:32] How Marisa first felt when they got their lab results back
    [26:43] How Marisa handled the dietary and lifestyle changes they needed to make
    [32:43] How long it took before Marisa saw improvements in her child
    [35:08] Marisa’s advice to parents considering functional lab testing for their children

    Memorable Moments:
    “She was a very picky eater…Then we started noticing the emotional dysregulation.”

    ”We were starting to get some judgment from some of our family, because when you don’t understand ADHD, you don’t get it. You look at a child and think, ‘Why can’t you discipline them? Why can’t you calm them down? Why can’t they regulate themselves?' They’re looking at them as bad kids because they see that as bad behavior.”

    ”For the first time in our journey, I felt understood. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this makes sense.’”

    ”Honestly for us, it was a relief. It was validation that we weren’t crazy..that there was something going on that we couldn’t identify.”

    ”We go to doctors now…and you’re just always given something. Here’s a pill. Here’s a pill. Here’s a pill. And you never get to the root of the issue.”

    ”We never want her ADHD to be a handicap to her.”

    ”We go in and we think we need to do it all at once, but that’s overwhelming for us…We just did one thing at a time.”

    ”It was noticeable in her appearance as soon as she went off the gluten.”

    ”It just takes time. It’s hard at first…but just give it the time.”

    ”The functional lab testing… is that foundation, and you can build on it.”

    ”There’s more to treating ADHD than just medication. That is the one thing I wish I’d known.”

  • 109: Is it ADHD…or a Concussion? with Dr. Spencer Zimmerman

    109: Is it ADHD…or a Concussion? with Dr. Spencer Zimmerman
    May 23 2024
    Did you know that ADHD is meant to be a diagnosis of exclusion? This means other potential causes should be considered before confirming ADHD. Surprisingly, conditions like concussions can show similar symptoms and are often misdiagnosed as ADHD. In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, Dr. Spencer Zimmerman joins the show to discuss how concussions in kids are frequently mistaken for ADHD and what signs to look for. Dr. Zimmerman is a Clinician and Founder at Idaho Brain and Body Institute, where he helps individuals struggling with neurological, psychological, and body-based symptoms and conditions. He's refined his unique method over the past 10 years and has worked with over 2,000 patients. He's the author of the best selling book Brain-Reset: 7 Steps to a Healthier Brain. He's been on ABC, CBS, and Daily Flash talking about brain health. He's uniquely cross trained as both a Chiropractor and Nurse Practitioner. He's a Diplomate in Chiropractic Neurology, a Peptide Certified Provider through A4M, and has extensive training in Functional Medicine and Functional Immunology. Link Mentioned in the Episode: Free Breakfast Guide for Better Mornings - http://adhdthriveinstitute.com/breakfastguide Key Takeaways: [4:29] How often are concussion symptoms mistaken for ADHD? [5:47] Similarities between ADHD symptoms and concussion symptoms [7:17] How can parents make sure their kids are prepared for contact sports [9:57] The prevalence of concussions among youth & signs to watch for [14:47] What parents should do if they suspect a concussion [18:35] Steps for recovery from a concussion [21:38] When should kids go back to playing sports after a concussion [22:37] What can be done to minimize the risk of concussions [24:57] Where to find Dr. Zimmerman online Memorable Moments: ”It may look like ADHD symptoms if a concussion goes misdiagnosed.” ”ADHD rates are going up, and there’s a lot of different things that are happening…that are contributing to that. But let’s not forget also that there can be other things that can cause ADHD-like symptoms.” ”When you get a diagnosis, you’ve got to say, ‘Is there a better explanation for it?’ So don’t ever give a kid an ADHD diagnosis unless you’ve said, ‘We’ve looked at the other things that would better explain these symptoms, and concussions are things that are routinely missed.” ”It’s actually upwards of 20% of kids who play contact sports will suffer a concussion each and every year, and 50% are never going to be diagnosed or evaluated… ”The goal is not to prevent them from playing sports. The goal is to say, ‘How can we play sports safely and then when is the right time to return because your functionality is back where it should be?’” ”You shouldn’t be making a concussion diagnosis based purely on symptoms.” ”If you’re suspecting a concussion, you won’t see it on imaging. You have to do these detailed tests.” ”If you have a concussion, your risk of a lower extremity injury or any injury in a sport actually goes up the next 2 years...But if you get the concussion truly recovered and not just symptom-free, you’re going to minimize that risk.” ”Females have a greater risk for concussions.” ”Strengthen your neck because that way, if you do, you’ve got more resilience.” How to Connect with Dr. Spencer Zimmerman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drspencerzimmerman/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrSpencerZimmerman Website: https://www.drspencerzimmerman.com/ Dana Kay Resources: 🔗WEBSITES: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ https://dana-kay.com/ 👋SOCIALS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute 📕INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING BOOK: Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ 💻FREE MASTERCLASS Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl ⭐COURSES & PROGRAMS ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/ Dye-Free for ADHD Course - https://bit.ly/4aFj6TY

  • 107: Primitive Reflexes in Kids with ADHD with Dr. Kaleb Scroggin

    107: Primitive Reflexes in Kids with ADHD with Dr. Kaleb Scroggin
    May 9 2024

    What are primitive reflexes? What role do they play in ADHD symptoms? And can working on retained primitive reflexes really make that much of a difference in kids with ADHD?

    Dr. Kaleb Scroggin joins this episode of the Soaring Child podcast to share more on this topic. Dr. Scroggin was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia where he currently runs his pediatric-focused Chiropractic practice. He was a high level athlete growing up where he was exposed to sports chiropractic and even went on to work with pro athletes in the NFL and MLB during his undergraduate and the first portion of his chiropractic schooling.

    He was then exposed to the profound impact of working with children and the life changes that can happen when a child’s health is improved and restored. He immediately shifted from working with athletes and dove into newborn and neurodevelopmental health. From there he received a board certification in pediatrics and published a paper on balance and coordination in children with ASD, while running a practice and raising three beautiful children with his wife. Every day he is invigorated with the changes he sees in childrens’ lives.

    If you are curious to learn more about retained primitive reflexes, tune in to this episode!

    Key Takeaways:

    [4:01] What are primitive reflexes?

    [8:21] What are retained primitive reflexes?

    [14:30] What should a parent do if they suspect a child has retained primitive reflexes?

    [22:02] Are there specific reflexes that are directly related to ADHD challenges?

    [30:16] Is there a time when it’s too late to fix these things?

    [37:00] Where to find Kaleb online

    Memorable Moments:

    ”Primitive reflexes are the major movers of your body from about 4 months pre-birth to about 4 months after birth, and their goal is to actually train your brain on what to do.”

    ”There’s about 14 different…primitive reflexes…that we check in our office on our new infant exams that should be there at birth.”

    ”There are some reflexes that are there starting at 4 months before birth and some that don’t come on until a few months after birth that help with different developmental milestones.”

    ”Movement is the #1 driver of brain development.”

    ”There’s a ton of infant reflexes that need to be integrated in order for that frontal lobe - the executive function - to have a good foundation to work.”

    ”You have to turn on the whole frontal part of the brain in the developmental order as a baby for the adult part of the brain to work appropriately.”

  • 106: How to Have a Non Toxic Summer with Dana Kay

    106: How to Have a Non Toxic Summer with Dana Kay
    May 2 2024

    Summer is full of outdoor activities and memorable adventures. But it's also a time when our children are more exposed to various environmental toxins, like chlorine from swimming pools, chemicals in sunscreens, etc. These toxins can add a significant load to their bodies, exacerbating ADHD symptoms.

    In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, discover how to have a non-toxic summer (and how to safely and effectively detox from any toxins your child might be exposed to).

    Detoxification Episode - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-88/

    Key Takeaways:

    [3:20] Common toxins kids are exposed to during the summer

    [7:20] Tips to make swimming less toxic

    [11:38] What to look for in a sunscreen

    [15:38] How parents can ensure a toxin-free environment at summer camp

    [18:14] Natural ways to support detoxification and reduce the impact of toxins

    Memorable Moments:

    ”During the summer, children are often more active and spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, which, while very beneficial for kids with ADHD, also increases their exposure to various environmental toxins.”

    ”Because children's bodies are still developing, they are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of chemical exposures. Their smaller size, higher rates of metabolism, and the fact that they're closer to the ground (where some toxins settle) further increase their risk.”

    ”Though chlorine isn’t ideal, there are things you can do to help your kids detox those chemicals before and after swimming.”

    ”You can still use sunscreen but choose a cleaner brand and this will go a long way in reducing your child’s overall toxic load!”

    ”It’s much easier to limit a child’s toxic exposure when they’re at home with us under our supervision, but many of our kids will also be going to summer camps so we need to think about this too.“

    ”The goal is to support the body's natural detoxification processes, which include the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin, in a gentle and supportive way.”

    ”Remember, small tweaks can make a significant impact.”

In fact, my teachers will even come up with their meals and be like, ‘Look what I’m eating. I’m eating all these vegetables….' I’m known as the pepper boy at my school because every day I bring peppers.” ”Everyone knows that I have a diet, and no one judges me for it.

If they’re good friends, they’re not going to leave you just because of what you eat.” ”It’s definitely worth it. 100%” ”Trust that the diet will make you the person that you want to be - for sure - because it made me the person I want to be.” Dana Kay Resources: 🔗WEBSITE: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ https://dana-kay.com/ 👋SOCIALS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute 📕INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING BOOK: Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ FREE MASTERCLASS Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl COURSES & PROGRAMS ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/ Dye-Free for ADHD Course - https://bit.ly/4aFj6TY
