The Inflammation-ADHD Connection: A Holistic Approach to Managing Symptoms
Description
ADHD is often viewed solely as a neurodevelopmental disorder, but emerging research reveals a strong link between chronic inflammation and symptom severity. Factors such as diet, gut health, stress, environmental toxins, and sleep disturbances can contribute to neuroinflammation, exacerbating executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and cognitive challenges. While medication remains a key treatment, it does not address these underlying inflammatory mechanisms. This session explores the science behind the inflammation-ADHD connection and provides evidence-based, integrative strategies to help manage symptoms. Attendees will learn how dietary interventions like the Mediterranean diet and omega-3s can reduce neuroinflammation, how gut health plays a role in ADHD, and how movement, mindfulness, and stress management techniques can support cognitive function. Additionally, we will discuss ways to minimize exposure to environmental toxins and improve sleep hygiene for better ADHD management. Designed for clinicians, educators, and individuals with ADHD, this session will provide actionable takeaways that go beyond traditional treatment approaches, helping attendees create personalized, holistic strategies to support brain health and overall well-being.
