Is your child struggling to sit still in class, pay attention, or complete homework? ADHD is often blamed when kids have trouble focusing in school, but at The Wellness Way, we see these behaviors as signals—clues that something deeper in the body is out of balance. Instead of just masking symptoms with medication, we dig into the root causes and provide holistic, natural support so your child can thrive.
Why Kids Struggle to Focus in School
When children can’t focus, act out, or have trouble staying on task, the issue isn’t always “bad behavior.” Their brains may be overwhelmed by inflammation, hidden food sensitivities, gut imbalances, or even stress on the nervous system. These underlying issues can make learning, concentration, and emotional regulation nearly impossible.
That’s why our motto at The Wellness Way is simple: “We don’t guess—we test.”
Testing That Makes the Difference
Every child’s body is different, so we run specialized labs to uncover what’s driving ADHD-like symptoms:
Food Sensitivity Testing – Identifies hidden food reactions that trigger inflammation affecting the brain.
Stool Testing – The gut and brain are connected; imbalances like yeast, leaky gut, or poor microbiome diversity can impact attention and mood.
Toxin & Heavy Metal Testing – Environmental exposures may be interfering with brain development.
(If youre an adult) Hormone & Adrenal Testing – Stress hormones like cortisol can affect focus, energy, and sleep.
Once we know what’s stressing your child’s body, we create a personalized plan for healing!
