ADHD can affect attention, impulsivity, organisation, energy and day-to-day functioning in different ways. For some people, these challenges may also sit alongside issues with sleep, stress, nutrition, digestion or energy.
At View to Health, Lynne Goldstein provides personalised, complementary naturopathic support for people with ADHD. As an experienced naturopath and dietitian, Lynne looks at the broader health factors that may be influencing how you feel and function.
From our Balmain clinic, we support clients across Sydney and the Inner West who are looking for a naturopath for ADHD as part of a wider care approach.
Testing is not used to diagnose ADHD, but it may help identify nutritional or broader health factors, often associated with ADHD, that are worth addressing. Depending on your symptoms, diet and health history, Lynne may consider:
Certain minerals such as iron and magnesium are necessary for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain which reduce the effects of anxiety.
Intestinal permeability can cause food sensitivity and reactivity which can be a factor in hyperactivity states.
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, can lead to gut inflammation, malabsorption of nutrients and nutrient deficiency.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals produced in both the brain and the gut which have a direct impact on mood, anxiety and sleep.
These tests are considered only where relevant to your individual presentation. A formal ADHD diagnosis should come from an appropriately qualified medical or mental health professional.
Naturopathic support may focus on broader areas of health that can influence day-to-day wellbeing, including:
The aim is to support your overall health and functioning alongside any existing ADHD care.
Depending on your individual assessment and health needs, your support plan may include:
A healthy personalised diet plan will be designed to balance the nutrient intake as well as ensuring that meals will be enjoyable. Blood sugar imbalance often leads to mood swings, so foods which release sugar slowly and contain fibre are important. Targeted supplements may be recommended to support nutritional needs, energy, nervous system health and overall wellbeing.
Where appropriate, Lynne may recommend gut-supportive nutrients to address any intestinal permeability or gut reactivity or inflammation, along with specialised probiotics for any neurotransmitter imbalance, as part of your broader health plan.
Your diet is tailored to your needs, with consideration given to foods that may be contributing to digestive, inflammatory or broader health concerns.
Individual herbal formulations may be selected to support areas such as stress, sleep, nervous system health and general wellbeing.
Specific probiotic strains may be recommended where gut health appears relevant to your individual presentation.
