Understanding ADHD

🧠 UNDERSTANDING ADHD – FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN

Have you ever wondered why ADHD brains behave the way they do? Why can things like focus, motivation, emotional regulation, sleep and overwhelm be such a challenge?

Perhaps you’re a parent trying to better understand your child’s ADHD—or an adult who has recently been diagnosed and is finally beginning to understand yourself.

Join Amanda Ross, Naturopath, for an informative talk exploring ADHD from a biomedical and naturopathic perspective, looking at what may be happening beneath the surface of ADHD traits.

We’ll explore the science behind the ADHD brain and how factors such as neurotransmitters, nutrition, sleep, stress, and overall physiology can influence the brain’s function.

What you’ll learn:

✨ Why ADHD traits occur and what is happening in the brain

✨ The connection between ADHD, emotions, motivation and focus

✨ How sleep, nutrition and stress can influence ADHD symptoms

✨ Practical naturopathic strategies to support brain function and reduce health challenges associated with ADHD

✨ Ways to work with the ADHD brain rather than against it

This talk is not about trying to make ADHD brains fit a neurotypical mould. It’s about understanding the biology, recognising individual strengths and challenges, and finding practical ways to make life easier.

Whether you’re an adult with ADHD, a parent of a child with ADHD, or someone who supports an ADHD family member, this talk will give you a deeper understanding of the why behind ADHD—and what you can do to support the brain.

Come and discover the science behind ADHD—and learn how to work with your brain to make life a little easier.
