ADHD does not fit into the current medical model approach to health.
There is no one pill for all ADHD related difficulties and no one reason for the areas of difficulty that those with ADHD may struggle with.
In the past the world has thought of ADHD as a behavioural disorder, but we are challenging this thought, it isn’t a behaviour disorder that requires discipline to overcome, nor are you deficient in pharmaceutic medication to help you concentrate.
Research has shown that ADHD may have an underpinning of alterations in neurobiological and biochemical processes. I have worked with children for 15 years and could have 20 different children or young adults with the same types of challenges, but multiple different reasons behind them.
For this reason, Functional Medicine works by looking at the individual on a neurobiochemical level, even looking at your genetics to understand where the bodies processes may be struggling and hindering brain and body processes.
Those with ADHD often have dynamic drive, determination, vision, energy, and my aim is to remove any barriers. There are so many adults thriving with ADHD who have found their niche and removed any barriers in their way.
If you or someone you love is struggling with a symptom of ADHD, whether that’s with concentration, poor impulse control, overactivity, wired brain at night, mood changes, emotional struggles, behaviour difficulties, sensory difficulties, or physical symptoms like skin conditions, gut problems or headaches, or food allergies, I will look into these, I will understand you as an individual, remove any barriers that may be standing in your way.
A recent discussion between our practitioners Jo Gamble and Lottie Strutt on how Functional Medicine can help and support children with ADHD as a potential alternative to medication.
