Putting Your Child On The Path
To Feeling Better
The body is a puzzle with so many systems all being interconnected and needing to be in balance in order to feel well.
When you’re faced with kids who seem out of control in their moods and behaviour, it’s easy to feel lost and helpless on how to get them back on track.
It’s not enough to just consider therapies or medications- as supportive as they can be at times- let’s give the body the tools and resources it needs to work things out and bring the balance back.
Let’s get to the heart of the matter and cover the basics. Let’s look at what your child eats and how that fuels or blocks all the processes in the brain. For a season of time that often means using supplements (nutrients and maybe herbs) to build up and repair and it may mean identifying and managing food intolerances and triggers.
Online support
Knowing what to do puts you back in charge. The more you understand what is driving unreasonable behaviours, the more you can get back to being a parent and guide your child into what they need.
Programs are delivered online giving you greater flexibility and time so that you can be focused on what needs to be done. Programs provide you with personal and practical advice with all the resources you need to make a difference.
Current options are (with more in development):
- Restless to Calm program for the child with behavioural problems, especially for those with ADHD.
- Nourish + Grow and Nourish DNA programs are quick programs to identify just what nutrients your child needs to be balanced. Nourish + Grow is specific for preschoolers but check if it could suit your child.
Get Tested
Functional testing can really fine-tune the nutritional root causes of behavioural difficulties and other challenges. Most are child friendly and non-invasive for our sensitive kids. Functional testing provides vital information to help me create an individualised care plan. The Restless to Calm program includes the HTMA test already.
These are the most useful functional tests:
- Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) – the best test for checking critical nutrients and heavy metals that impact on brain health, moods and behaviour (hair)
- Comprehensive stool testing (poo- of course!)
- Food biocompatibility testing to see which foods encourage health, and which are impacting on the body’s own energy production (hair)
- Gene testing to assess how effectively key nutrients are being used (saliva)
- Even regular blood tests can be extremely informative!
