Episode notes
ADHD Has No Objective Biomarker
- ADHD lacks an objective blood test or biomarker and relies on behavior-based observation and practitioner judgment.
- This subjectivity means diagnoses can vary and miss underlying physiological causes.
Don’t Default To Stimulant Meds
- Avoid defaulting to stimulant medications without exploring root causes like nutrient deficits and inflammation.
- Seek holistic evaluation rather than immediately medicating behavioral symptoms.

- Many children eat diets high in refined carbohydrates, artificial colors, and additives that spike then crash energy.
- These dietary patterns inflame the nervous system and worsen attention and behavior.
