Soaring Child: Thriving with ADHD

Dana Kay is a board-certified holistic health and nutrition practitioner, and also the author of Thriving with ADHD. But what gives her show its particular credibility is that she's also a parent of a child with ADHD who has personally navigated the overwhelm, the school calls, and the search for answers beyond medication alone. Soaring Child publishes weekly episodes that explore natural and integrative approaches to managing ADHD symptoms in children. Dana brings on nutritionists, functional medicine doctors, occupational therapists, and fellow parents to discuss topics like gut health and brain function, the role of glutathione in ADHD brains, sleep optimization, food sensitivities, and supplement protocols. Episodes run about 30 to 40 minutes and strike a balance between evidence-based information and practical implementation. This show fills a real gap for parents who want to explore complementary strategies alongside (or sometimes instead of) medication. Dana is clear that she's not anti-medication, but she firmly believes families deserve more options than they're typically presented with at a 15-minute pediatrician visit. With 195 episodes and a 4.9-star rating, the show has earned a devoted following among parents looking for a more comprehensive approach to their child's ADHD. The tone is hopeful without being preachy -- Dana genuinely believes kids with ADHD can thrive, and she backs that up with specifics.
