For many families, an ADHD diagnosis comes with an overwhelming and often narrow set of recommendations—most commonly, long-term prescription pharmaceuticals. But are medications truly the only option for children struggling with focus, behavior, and emotional regulation? Absolutely not.

​

In this episode of the Children’s Health Solutions Series, world-renowned physician, author, and educator Dr. Mary Ann Block offers a deeper, more comprehensive look at ADHD by exploring its underlying causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Dr. Block explains how nutrition, environmental factors, nervous system health, and lifestyle influences all can play a significant role in a child’s behavior and development.

​

Parents will learn about natural, practical, and affordable approaches that support children experiencing ADHD symptoms—approaches that aim to strengthen the child’s overall health, improve focus and regulation, and reduce reliance on medications whenever possible. This conversation empowers families with information, options, and hope, reminding us that children are not broken—and that meaningful solutions already exist.

This episode is essential viewing for parents, educators, therapists, and practitioners seeking a more holistic, child-centered understanding of ADHD and the many paths available to support children in thriving, not just coping.
