Memorable Moments:

\u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019m trying. I want to follow what everybody was asking me to do. They want me to sit still. I really want to do it. But the thing is, I don\u2019t know how'\u2026 He said he couldn\u2019t do it, even though he wanted to.\u201d

\u201dAn ADHD journey or an ADHD diagnosis doesn\u2019t necessarily look the same for everyone.\u201d

\u201cHe was gluten-free for two weeks\u2026The first thing I noticed - and I was shocked - was his handwriting. His handwriting improved so much. And so did his sleep. It was like magic.\u201d

\u201dWhen I first started, I was skeptical. I was nervous. I wasn\u2019t sure if I was making the right choice\u2026\u201d

\u201dThe number one thing that I did was I focused on the food that he can eat. I did not focus on the foods that he can\u2019t eat.\u201d

\u201cIf you\u2019re skeptical but then you saw \u2018Dana Kay\u2019 on Facebook or you saw \u2018ADHD Thrive Institute,\u2019 it\u2019s a good sign. Take it as a good sign because this is help that the universe is sending to you\u2026I wish I had delved into it right away.\u201d

\u201cIf you are skeptical, try it. There\u2019s nothing to lose\u2026It\u2019s an investment in your child. It\u2019s an investment in their body\u2026They will feel better and they\u2019re going to tell you.\u201d
