Memorable Moments:
\u201dA lot of the simple things that we can do at home and in our lifestyle are things that are helpful for everything - whether it\u2019s ADHD or any other chronic condition.\u201d

\u201dThink about the root cause\u2026There are some things that you can do. There are some things that are contributing to it or causing some of the symptoms that are not as desirable as you would like.\u201d

\u201dThe first step really is just to be mindful. Be mindful of everything that we\u2019re purchasing, everything that goes in our food, everything that we\u2019re buying that we\u2019re putting on our kids - whether that\u2019s creams or lotions or suntan lotion or bedding or clothing. Everything has chemicals so if you can pick things that are more natural, you\u2019re at least decreasing their load.\u201d

\u201dA lot of our chronic conditions and chronic disease are a mixture or certainly exacerbated by the poor diets that we have - so we\u2019re not getting the nutrients that our kids need - and then our kids are surrounded by too many toxins or chemicals.\u201d

\u201dHow many kids that are labeled or diagnosed with ADHD or have hyperactivity actually have some sort of neuro-inflammation going on?\u201d

\u201dMost of the time - if not all of the time - there are things that we can do to completely cure it..or at least make things better.\u201d

\u201dWe have a lot of ownership over their health and the things that we do actually matter. And our lifestyle is contributing if not causing a lot of these conditions.\u201d

\u201dMedicine is focusing more and more on treatment\u2026but the rates of chronic diseases are increasing and we need to prevent it. We don\u2019t want all of our kids to have a chronic disease and so we have to focus on what we can from day 1\u2026everything that you do matters.\u201d

\u201dWe\u2019re focused on efficiency and faster and more for a long time, but that comes at a cost.\u201d
