For Making Smart Decisions On ADHD

About Us

At Body Mind ADHD Clinic, we embrace a holistic approach rooted in functional neurology and functional psychiatry to address ADHD. Our philosophy focuses on uncovering and treating the root causes of ADHD rather than merely managing symptoms. Through comprehensive assessments, personalised care plans, and advanced brain and lifestyle optimisation strategies, we empower individuals to achieve greater focus, emotional balance, and long-term success. Our goal is to transform challenges into strengths for lasting, meaningful change.

About ADHD

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by pervasive problems with attention, and in many cases, impulsive and hyperactive behaviour as well. These often lead to a range of behaviour issues, causing significant challenges in school and at work, and interfering with social development and peer interactions. ADD/ADHD is a national health crisis that continues to grow—yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illnesses today.

Consequences Of Untreated ADHD

According to the latest figures, 9.4% of children between the ages of 2 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. To further complicate things, it is not uncommon for a child with this condition to also have a learning disorder, thus adding to the academic challenges they face. While the symptoms of ADD/ADHD emerge in childhood, if left untreated, they can persist throughout a person’s life.

In fact, the National Institute of Mental Health has found that 5.4% of adult men and 3.2% of adult women have ADD/ADHD, and other research has shown that only about 20% of them have ever been diagnosed or received treatment. This condition is often overlooked in females because their primary issue is inattention, and they are less likely to exhibit the disruptive hyperactivity that is so often seen in males with ADHD.

Statistics show that 33% of kids with ADD/ADHD never finish high school (3 times the national average) so they end up in jobs that don’t pay well. Another study has found that children with untreated ADD/ADHD are nearly twice as likely to develop an alcohol use disorder or other substance abuse problem, and that they tend to start using at an earlier age compared to other kids.

Evidence-Based Insights and Unique Approach

The Role of Nutrition and ADHD

ADHD and Brain Function

Research shows that ADHD is linked to imbalances in brain function, particularly in areas that regulate attention, impulse control, and emotional stability. At Body Mind ADHD Clinic, we use functional neurology assessments to identify these imbalances and implement targeted strategies to support healthier brain pathways.

Nutritional deficiencies, such as low levels of omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, and key vitamins, are strongly associated with ADHD symptoms. Our personalised nutritional plans restore balance, improve brain function, and reduce hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness.

The Impact of Lifestyle and Environment

Gut Health and ADHD

Emerging research reveals a powerful connection between gut health and brain function. A disrupted gut microbiome can worsen ADHD symptoms due to inflammation and neurotransmitter imbalances. Our root-cause approach includes assessing and improving gut health to optimise cognitive and emotional performance.

Stress, poor sleep, and exposure to toxins can significantly impact ADHD symptoms. We address these factors through lifestyle medicine, incorporating practical changes such as sleep optimisation, stress management techniques, and detoxification strategies to support overall well-being.
