I get asked this a lot: are naturopaths qualified to give nutrition advice?

Yes. Completely qualified.

My undergraduate degree included the exact same nutrition units a nutritionist studies.

Same content, same science, same practical stuff. Then I did additional herbal medicine units on top.

So when I'm advising on your diet, it's from the same training base as a nutritionist.

You're just getting the herbal medicine knowledge as well.

For years, parents have come to me asking the same question in different ways.

Why won't my child sit still? Why do mornings feel like a battle? Why does nothing seem to help for long?

I've spent a long time thinking about how to answer that properly, not with a quick tip, but with something that actually walks families through it step by step.

So I'm building a course for parents supporting a child with ADHD.

It brings together everything I look at in clinic, nutrition, sleep, gut health, blood sugar and more, into one place, in the order that actually matters.

As both a naturopath with over twenty years of experience and a mum of two children with ADHD, this one is personal for me.

I'll be sharing more over the coming weeks. If you'd like to be first to know when it's ready, the waitlist link is in my bio.

If you've done everything right and your child's focus and mood still aren't adding up, this is worth fifteen minutes with your GP.

Coeliac disease affects around 1 in 100 children, and it can look remarkably similar to ADHD.

Poor concentration, irritability, fatigue.

The overlap exists because gut damage from coeliac disease interferes with how well a child absorbs iron, B12 and zinc, three nutrients the brain genuinely needs to function well.

In some documented cases, children were treated for ADHD for years before anyone checked for coeliac disease.

Once they were put on a gluten free diet, their symptoms disappeared. It was never ADHD.

This isn't about replacing a proper diagnosis.

It's about making sure the diagnosis you've got is actually the right one.

This is exactly the kind of detective work I walk parents through in the course. If you'd like to be first to know when it's ready, the waitlist link is in my bio.

When families come to me wanting to support their child's ADHD naturally, they often expect me to start with supplements or testing or a complicated protocol.

But here's the thing.

If the foundations aren't in place, the more advanced strategies don't work properly.

Blood sugar regulation is one of those foundations.

It affects focus, mood, energy, and how the brain handles stress - and it's often being undermined by breakfast and lunchbox choices that seem perfectly fine.

In my clinic, we look at these patterns carefully.

What's being eaten, when, and how the body is responding. Sometimes a few targeted changes create more stability than parents thought possible.

This is the kind of work I do one-on-one with families, and it's also what I teach in my ADHD foundations course - which is opening soon.

If you want to understand the root causes behind your child's symptoms and know exactly where to focus your energy, this is where we start.

Saffron performed as well as Ritalin in clinical trials.

I know that sounds like a big claim, but there's solid research behind it. A six-week trial compared saffron to methylphenidate (Ritalin) in children with ADHD. Both groups showed similar improvements in attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Here's something most parents don't realise about how saffron actually works: it modulates the same neurotransmitters involved in ADHD - dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin. These are the pathways that regulate focus, impulse control, and mood.

The result? Calmer, more focused kids.

Here's the good news: saffron can also be used alongside ADHD medications safely. So if your child is on medication but you're not seeing the results you hoped for, this is something worth exploring.

One important caveat - you won't get therapeutic doses from cooking with saffron. And because it's such an expensive herb, contamination and adulteration are common. A study of 104 saffron extracts found nearly half had issues, particularly with heavy metals like lead.

The brand matters enormously. This is where working with a practitioner who knows which products have been properly tested makes a real difference.

Save this for later if you've been curious about natural options for supporting your child's focus and attention.

Most ADHD content jumps straight to the exciting stuff. Supplements, Elimination diets, the latest thing someone saw on a podcast.

But I built this course in the opposite order.

We start with foundations, because that's genuinely where the biggest shifts happen. Additives, blood sugar, sleep. They're not the most interesting part, but they're the part that makes everything else work better once it's sorted.

From there we move into the gut brain connection and the conditions that can look like ADHD but aren't.

Then brain chemistry and supplements. Testing comes later, once you've already ruled a few things in or out.

This isn't a random module order. It's the order I've seen actually get results in clinic, over and over again.

And I want to be upfront about something, some families won't need to go past the early modules. If foundations solve most of what you're seeing, that's a win. You won't need to buy anything else or chase down every supplement on the list.

This course is built to meet you wherever the answer actually is, not to keep you moving through content for the sake of it.

Before the course opens, I want to be upfront about what this actually is, and what it isn't.

This isn't a replacement for medication.

If your child is on medication and it's helping, this course works alongside that, not against it.

Nothing in here is designed to talk you out of a treatment that's working.

This isn't a replacement for other therapies either. Occupational therapy, psychology, speech therapy, whatever your child is already getting. This course fills a specific gap: the nutrition, gut health and lifestyle side of things, which often gets left out of the conversation entirely.

And this isn't a magic fix.

I've spent twenty years in clinic and I've never seen one supplement or one diet change solve everything overnight.

What I have seen, consistently, is that when families get the foundations right, a lot of the day to day struggle gets easier to manage.

So if you're looking for a quick fix, this probably isn't it.

If you're looking for a clear, honest, evidence based way to understand what's actually driving your child's symptoms, that's exactly what this is.

I built the ADHD course I wish existed when my own kids were diagnosed.

Between raising two kids with ADHD and years of helping clients navigate it clinically, I've learned exactly what actually moves the needle.

So I've taken everything in my head and put it into a course and the waitlist is open now.

Here's what's inside.

We start with the foundations, because the people who get the best results are almost always the ones who get these right first: pulling additives out of the diet, balancing blood sugar, sorting out sleep.

I'll explain why each one matters and why skipping this part means everything else works less well.

From there we go into the gut brain connection. Constipation, food sensitivities, gluten, PANS and PANDAS, and how these conditions can make ADHD symptoms worse or, in some cases, aren't ADHD at all.

There are studies where kids with undiagnosed coeliac disease were put on a gluten free diet, and after six months their ADHD was gone. It was never ADHD.

Then we get into brain chemistry itself: which neurotransmitters are involved, what they do, and how to build them. Sleep supplements, because it's one of the biggest issues I see in kids.

And testing, both through your GP and functional testing, so you're working from data instead of guesswork.

Eight modules in total, some with multiple parts, released week by week.

Whether your child is on medication or not, this course will help you become an ADHD detective for your own kid and build a natural medicine strategy that actually works.

Genetics explains why a child has ADHD. It doesn't explain why one day goes smoothly and the next falls apart.

Blood sugar regulation, sleep quality, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, inflammation, hydration and immune function can all influence how severely symptoms show up and how well the brain functions day to day.

That's exactly why I'm building something that looks at all of it together, instead of leaving you to guess which piece matters for your child.
