Table of Contents
Our latest podcast highlights the work of “Thriving with ADHD: A Guide to Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child,” author, Dana Kay. Dana is an expert in ADHD as a mother, Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner and the CEO and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute.
When her son was put on his fourth medication with side-effects impacting his personality, she knew something else needed to be done. In this candid interview, Dana shares about what it was like to feel like she was being a “bad mom” and how she took charge to find a new path to helping him thrive.
Dana was not only successful in helping her child but has taken what she learned and created the ADHD Thrive Institute that has now helped thousands of families.
Listen or read (the transcript below) to find out more about Dana’s new book (which you can pick up here today) and how she helped her son and the ADHD Thrive Institute families she works with too.
