Episode 228: ADHD, Medication & Natural Support: What Every Parent Should Know

ADHD Support isn’t One-Size-Fits-All — Here’s how to find what works for your child.

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by our Naturopath Sarah Worboys to explore a topic that’s becoming increasingly important (and confusing) for families: how to best support children with ADHD.

Rates of diagnosis and medication use are rising rapidly, particularly among adolescents and many parents are left wondering if their child will benefit from medication and if there are natural and complementary options worth exploring. In this episode, we have an honest and grounded conversation that bridges the gap between mainstream treatment and naturopathic support.

Whether your child has just received a diagnosis, is already on medication, or you’re still exploring what ADHD support could look like — this episode will help you feel clearer, more confident, and better equipped to make decisions that feel aligned with your values.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions have become more common and what this means for families.
• The benefits and challenges of common ADHD medications, and when they may be most helpful.
• How nutrition, supplements, and gut health play a role in supporting kids with ADHD.
• Why a whole-child, holistic approach is key when it comes to supporting kids with ADHD.
• Practical naturopathic strategies to support attention, behaviour, and emotional regulation (even alongside medication).
• How we can better advocate for our kids in a system that often takes a one-size-fits-all approach.

🎧 Tune in to gain clarity, learn practical tools, and feel empowered to take the next best step for your child. Our Naturopath Sarah shares her professional insights and experience supporting families through both medicated and non-medicated pathways; reminding us that ADHD support is not all-or-nothing. It’s about finding a plan that works for your unique child.
