Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 052: Dietitian and Nutritionist Jill Castle with the Facts About ADHD and Nutrition · 11 Apr 2017 podcast

And this is anecdotal, but I always see better functioning.

Calmer kids, better functioning, more pleasant to be around.

That's inspiring

So as I mentioned, there are some studies that

indicate that supplementation and better nutrition improves behavior and the effectiveness of medication.

But I do not know of any research that says nutrition in and of itself all alone is going to get the same results.

And most healthcare professionals who work with children with ADHD will say that they're complementary approaches.

So a child will do best with probably both on board because they complement each other.

I really have never seen an overhaul work like a, okay, we're flipping everything 180 and we're starting over.

I've never seen that work.

What I see work is a whole family approach, which means that everybody's eating the same way and at the same time.

And there's a structure and rhythm to family meals together and meals apart, but there's a rhythm there.

And you're pecking off one small change at a time.

Instead of taking this huge bite, you're taking little nibbles.

And I think where parents can really sort of think this through, look at your child.

If your child is having trouble growing, if they're having trouble keeping weight on,

if they're undernourished, then nutrition is probably something you should focus on because it's not only going to help them be better nourished and grow better, but it's also going to help them behave better.

And that's sort of an easy one.

Then pick the low-hanging fruit.

If your child is only eating three times a day, try to work in another eating session based on those peak times of the day when hunger is there.
