Key Takeaways:

[2:49] The best detoxing modalities for kids: detox baths, jumping on a trampoline, rebounding, sweating, sauna, lemon water, and milk thistle

[14:37] What to do if you’ve changed the diet and are not seeing progress

[19:48] Are the dietary changes we recommend (cutting out gluten, dairy, soy) permanent?

[29:06] How much technology is too much? Why does my child's behavior become worse after watching technology?

[35:20] Potential reasons your ADHD child might struggle with sleep

Memorable Moments:

”A detox bath - #1 - that is something super easy and gentle to do that you can do 2-3 times a week.”

”You want to start low and slow, build your way up…I usually find starting with 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of magnesium flakes, and you can work your way up depending on how much they weigh.”

”Ideally the recommendation is 1 minute per age, and so if they are 5 years old, then 5 minutes in the sauna with that temperature nice and low.”

”If you’re somebody who is really solid on diet and you’ve been gluten, dairy, and soy free for 6 months - 8 months - and you’ve given it the good amount of time that healing takes, and you’re still not where you need to go, then that tells us we need to look deeper. We need to look deeper at what else is causing that inflammation.”

”We want to get a really good snapshot of what’s happening in the body…because in order for you to see what’s really going on and for you to move the needle, we need to have some answers as to what’s happening in the body, so the testing will allow us to do that for you.”

”If you think about this bigger picture, when you go through a healing process and your children and your family are doing so much better and you’re feeling good, we just don’t ever want to see you go backward. Let’s just keep moving forward, and keep that inflammation down as much as possible.”

”Technology… is created to be addicting, and it is created to be over-stimulating, and that’s a lot for a little brain to handle.“

”Sleep is so important. That’s when we’re growing, that’s when we’re detoxing, that’s when we’re shifting and our minds and our brains are getting bigger, so it’s super important that sleep is well-balanced.”

Memorable Moments:

”Food just isn’t made the way that it was years ago. Most of the food available out there….is overly processed or full of preservatives, loaded with chemicals. And who wants to be eating that?”

”When we eat better, we feel better.”

”We can’t supplement our way out of a bad diet.”

”There are thousands and thousands of supplements out there, and they’re just not created equal.”

”You will go so much further and you’ll take your child so much further when you’re really working with a qualified professional.”

”Kids are becoming more and more dysregulated….If your child is doing this, it’s their body’s way of telling you they’re overwhelmed and they need help with something. And the first place that I would start looking at is the diet.”

“Food matters.”

“It needs to be a gradual process for it to be effective…Take your time. Give yourself permission to take your time.”

“Our kids can react to gluten in the body for weeks - even months - after eating it.”

”If you can explore things further with functional lab testing, you’re really getting a clearer picture of what’s going on in the body, and it allows you to directly target those healing opportunities.”

”Things can change. This doesn’t have to be your life.”
