3 Intriguing Facts About ADHD
"Blood Labs Are Normal..."
They may be normal, but are you running the right tests?
Standard lab tests often fail to reveal the full picture, especially when it comes to nutritional deficiencies common in kids with ADHD, which don't always show up in routine screenings. That's why we delve deeper than standard tests, using advanced lab testing to uncover often-missed indicators of nutritional deficiencies, gut health and inflammation, crucial in reversing symptoms of ADHD.
"We Eat Healthy..."
Are certain "healthy" foods contributing to ADHD symptoms?
Many children with ADHD often grapple with hidden food intolerances, which, alongside stress, gut imbalances, and environmental factors, can lead to focus issues and gut dysbiosis. Undiagnosed food intolerances contribute to chronic inflammation, sleep issues as well as and a weakened immune response. We can easily identifying food sensitivities & give guidance on cooking family-friendly meals.
Impact Of Gut Health
Could gut issues & stealth infections feed ADHD symptoms?
It is common for children with ADHD to also have gut issues that contribute to mood swings, anxiety, and feelings of disconnection. This is why testing for gut issues like parasites and bacterial overgrowth is key. These gut imbalances often contribute significantly to both physiological and emotional stress, with inflammation often starting in the digestive system.
Meet Dr. Juliana Nahas, MD, FAAP, FMCP
When Dr. Nahas was a young doctor, she had two separate parents with a child with ADHD come in to the clinic in one day, and one parent asked for medication straight away, while the other refused medication and was seeking natural solutions instead.
At the time, Dr. Nahas was conventionally trained and board certified in Pediatrics, and didn’t have any solutions to offer the second parent, other than to remove sugar and food coloring from the diet & to eat a more wholesome organic diet.
Fast forward a decade later, when Dr. Nahas experienced her own health challenge, but was left to fend for herself because she was told by the conventional medical experts that they could not find anything wrong.
This launched Dr. Nahas in search of “out of the box” answers, and she discovered a new discipline called Functional Medicine, or root-cause medicine, and within 3 months she healed her body completely!
Then she proceeded to learn all that she could about this new scientific approach to health, and got certified by The Adapt Institute of Functional Medicine, the Kalish Institute, and did a fellowships with Dr. Kurt Wohler and Dr. James Greenblatt, to focus more on mental health and autism.
After practicing in Covington/GA for 26 years, Dr. Nahas has now developed a hybrid practice serving GA and FL patients with this new functional approach, and has helped many patients bridge their gap to wellness.
