ADHD
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurological condition that affects the brain’s ability to regulate attention, impulses, activity levels and emotional responses. It’s commonly associated with children, but many adults also live with undiagnosed or mismanaged ADHD.
Common symptoms of ADHD
Difficulty focusing or completing tasks
Trouble with organisation and time management
Impulsivity and difficulty with self-regulation
Restlessness or a sense of internal hyperactivity
Emotional sensitivity and mood swings
Forgetfulness or frequent distraction
Mental fatigue, overwhelm or burnout
Challenges with motivation or follow-through
A Holistic Approach to ADHD
Naturopathic care looks beyond the diagnosis and aims to understand the “why” behind the symptoms. By identifying and addressing underlying factors, such as blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut health disruptions, poor sleep, nervous system dysregulation or chronic stress, we can create a targeted support plan that helps reduce the intensity and impact of symptoms.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, the goal is to bring more clarity, steadiness and mental focus to your day-to-day life.
How Naturopathy can help
A personalised ADHD support plan may include:
Nutritional guidance to balance blood sugar and support neurotransmitter function
Herbal medicine to calm the nervous system and support focus and mood
Gut health support, as the gut-brain axis plays a key role in cognitive health
Lifestyle strategies for sleep, screen time, movement and rhythm
Targeted nutrients such as magnesium, omega-3s, iron, zinc and B-vitamins
Emotional and behavioural support tools to manage overwhelm and regulate energy
