It is widely supported that ADHD is a neurological disorder. Several years ago, Dr. Welch was mentored by some phenomenal chiropractic functional neurologists, who trained her in functional neurology rehab for several neurological disorders, including patients with ADHD and ASD. But something profound was realized that changed Dr. Welch's path forever. 

You see, the group of them decided to be trained in functional medicine and clinical nutrition and the doors opened up. They realized that the functional neurology rehab was great (and still is excellent work), but clinical nutrition worked as well, maybe even BETTER. Help a person FUNDAMENTALLY restore health, and the rest "sorts itself out" if you will. Patients got dramatically better by restoring their functional health through nutrition QUICKER than through the neurological rehab alone. 

The brain is highly sensitive to toxins like heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides from our environment. Studies have shown that lead in particular can cause lower IQ levels, learning disabilities, and hyperactive behavior.

Hormone imbalances like too much glucose, insulin, or cortisol are actually toxic and damaging to the brain. Digestive issues like food allergies and intolerances, food additives, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and overall poor digestive functions can also play a role in ADHD symptoms.

The potential causes are many. There's only one real way to know if yours or your loved one's ADHD symptoms are caused by or escalated because of any of these factors.

Get tested.

In many cases, changes in behavior can be seen in as little as a few weeks.
