Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD

by Dana Kay

Looking for natural ways to help your child with ADHD? The Soaring Child Podcast helps parents understand what may be contributing to their child's ADHD symptoms and what they can do to support focus, emotional regulation, behavior, sleep, and overall health naturally. Hosted by Dana Kay, Board-Certified Health and Nutrition Practitioner, bestselling author of Thriving with ADHD, and mom of a child with ADHD, the podcast explores practical, science-informed approaches to supporting children with ADHD. Each week, Dana and her expert guests explore topics including ADHD nutrition, diet and food sensitivities, gut health and the gut-brain connection, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, detoxification, ADHD supplements, sleep, screen time, emotional regulation, behavior, focus, and parenting children with ADHD. You'll learn how food, nutrition, gut health, lifestyle, and other biological factors may influence ADHD symptoms, along with practical strategies you can use at home. Dana knows firsthand how hard it can be when your child is struggling with meltdowns, impulsivity, hyperactivity, lack of focus, emotional dysregulation, or challenges at school. Her goal is to give parents another way of looking at ADHD and practical steps that can support their child. Dana has helped more than 1,600 families and has been featured in Forbes, Fox, CBS, parenting summits, podcasts, and other media. If you're searching for natural ADHD support, ADHD diet and nutrition strategies, supplements for kids with ADHD, gut health support, or ways to help your child with ADHD without relying solely on medication, you're in the right place. Because children with ADHD deserve the chance to soar.
