ADHD - How we can help
Natural ADHD Support: A Root-Cause Approach
Understanding ADHD Beyond the Surface
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurobehavioral condition. At the ADHD Naturopathic Clinic in Perth, we don’t just look at the behaviour; we look at the biology. Whether you or your child are navigating inattention, hyperactivity, or emotional impulsivity, our goal is to identify the "why" and provide a natural roadmap to focus and calm.
The Biology of ADHD: Why Natural Interventions Work
Research suggests that the ADHD brain often functions differently, particularly within the dopamine pathways. When dopamine is reabsorbed too quickly, it leads to the "seeking" behaviours associated with hyperactivity and distractibility.
Factors we investigate include:
- Genetic Predispositions: We specialize in MTHFR and COMT mutations that impact how the brain processes neurotransmitters.
- The Gut-Brain Axis: Addressing food sensitivities (gluten, casein, sugar) and gut dysbiosis that trigger systemic inflammation.
- Environmental Loads: Screening for heavy metal exposure (like lead) and chemical sensitivities.
- Nutritional Gaps: Correcting deficiencies in Zinc, Magnesium, Iron, and Vitamin D which are essential for neurological function.
Our Natural Treatment Strategy
We move away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach and create a Bespoke Wellness Plan tailored to your unique biochemistry.
Targeted Clinical Nutrition
We guide you through evidence-based dietary shifts to stabilize blood sugar and reduce neuro-inflammation.
- The Elimination Protocol: Identifying triggers like artificial colours, preservatives (MSG), and salicylates.
- Brain Fuel: Increasing high-quality Omega-3s and nutrient-dense whole foods.
Handcrafted Herbal Medicine
Using remedies from our organic nursery, we utilize specific botanical compounds to support the brain:
- Cognition Enhancers: Bacopa, Ginkgo, and Pine Bark to sharpen focus.
- Calming Nervines: Passionflower and Lemon Balm to soothe the "busy" mind.
- Adaptogens: Withania and Rhodiola to help the nervous system manage stress.
Methylation & Biochemical Support
By regulating the MTHFR and COMT pathways, we help the body naturally balance dopamine and serotonin, often reducing the need for heavy reliance on stimulants.
ADHD Coaching & Holistic Lifestyle
Healing isn't just about supplements; it's about skills.
- ADHD Coaching: We provide practical tools for organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
- Vagus Nerve Support: Techniques to calm the sympathetic nervous system.
- Nature & Exercise: Implementing "Green Time" and physical movement to naturally boost dopamine levels.
