Join Chelsea Carolan, the host of The Wellness Plus podcast as she interviews ADHD expert and thought-leader Dana Kay.

If you’re someone who’s been on the search for alternatives to the traditional routes of managing ADHD, you’re in the right place. While medications are commonly prescribed for ADHD, more and more families are looking at ways to address the root causes of the condition using natural, non-pharmaceutical approaches. And one of the most promising methods? ....... Diet and nutrition, or to borrow a phrase coined by today's guest; a 'Food First Approach"

This week, we’re thrilled to be joined by Dana Kay, a passionate advocate for a holistic approach to treating ADHD in children.

Dana is a board-certified health and nutrition practitioner, two time International best selling author and the CEO and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute. She has helped over 1300 families find freedom from ADHD symptoms so that children with ADHD can thrive at home, at school, and in life. 

In this episode she shares her expertise on how a balanced, nutrient-dense diet can help support children with ADHD—and even reduce their reliance on medications.

Dana is a knowledgeable and extremely personable guest who's vulnerability in sharing her own experience parenting a child with ADHD makes for a captivating episode.

Dana offers practical solutions and advice for families as we explore topics such as;

  • Inflammation
  • Parenting Therapy
  • The Gut Brain Connection

We also dig into some common ADHD myths like;

  • Does screen-time cause ADHD?
  • Can ADHD medications lead to addiction?
  • Is ADHD more common in males?
