Common Q&A about Functional Medicine ADHD Support for Adults, Children & Teenagers
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Functional ADHD Support is a specialist, integrative approach that looks beyond the diagnosis to identify biological, nutritional, hormonal, and lifestyle factors affecting attention, mood, and emotional regulation.
Adults, children, and teenagers with a formal ADHD diagnosis or ADHD-like symptoms, as well as those experiencing concentration, motivation, or emotional regulation difficulties, can benefit.
Unlike standard approaches, functional support addresses root causes—such as nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or gut health issues—rather than only managing symptoms.
Supplements may be recommended when appropriate and tailored for age, development, and specific needs. Medication integration is also supported for adults, where applicable, to optimise effectiveness.
Some individuals notice changes in focus, energy, or mood within weeks, while for others, benefits may take a few months. Progress depends on the person, adherence to recommendations, and any underlying health factors.
