In this episode, Samantha and Lauren talk with Dana Kay, a board-certified health practitioner, and two-time international bestselling author.
Dana shares her extensive experience working with families across the US through her company, ADHD Thrive Institute, where she helps parents reduce ADHD symptoms naturally by focusing on biological triggers like diet, gut health, and inflammation.
She emphasizes the importance of supporting a child's biology rather than 'fixing' them, and discusses the profound impact of the gut-brain connection on overall health and behavior, providing insights into how gut health can influence ADHD symptoms and other disorders.
