Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of children and adults, and its impact often extends well beyond difficulty focusing. Symptoms can present challenges that can affect school, work, relationships, and self-esteem. ADHD looks different in every person, and a one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t exist.

Conventional treatment often centers on medications, which can be effective for managing symptoms but don’t address why the brain and body are struggling to self-regulate in the first place. Underlying contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, poor sleep, gut health, and environmental stressors can all play a role in ADHD symptoms, and identifying them is often the missing piece for lasting improvement.

Evaluation and Testing

At Boulder Natural Health, we diver deeper into a patient’s underlying cause, symptoms and diagnosis. We might look at blood testing and urine testing to evaluate nutrient deficiencies. A QEEG test can also be a helpful resource to understand unique brainwave patterns and guide support and interventions.

We often collaborate with other neuropsychological providers for additional cognitive testing.

Our Holistic Approach

Every person with ADHD is unique, so we take time to understand each patient’s individual needs before recommending a plan of care. Our approach uses informed testing to support nutritional needs, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplement strategies to support focus, mood, and overall brain function. Because ADHD can be influenced by so many overlapping systems, we often collaborate with other providers, including therapists and neuropsychological specialists, to build a well-rounded plan of care.

There are a variety of natural approaches available for ADHD, and prescription medication is not always necessary. For patients who are already on medication, our approach can complement that care rather than replace it. A holistic approach can make all the difference in turning frustration into fulfillment.
