3.20 – Relationships & nutrition affect children’s behaviour

4.0 – ADHD Medication Ritalin is a couple of molecules off Meth Amphetamine

5.0 – Dr Feingold coined the term 'hyperactivity' – linked it to sugar and red food die. He was laughed out of the medical community. AMA apologised and welcomed him back in.

6.0 – Looking at kids with lots of energy mixed with computer screens / ipads / phones – disrupting of brain chemistry and lack of nutrition to keep the brain healthy

7.0 – Different learning styles suited for different children. One or 2 things can change everything. Toxins exist in the food supply & environment – we get to be aware

8.0 –  In America schools receive a kickback for diagnoses of ADHD and drugs prescribed (!!!)

9.0 – Over diagnosis of ADHD and first action is medication (that alters brain chemistry)

10.0 – Kids are treated differently with a label / disease

11 – Example of a child on a leash – from 18 month vaccination (all verbal ability was halted) – was not safe to walk himself.

12 – After a couple of days of appropriate therapy and nutrition, the child came off the leash after 10 years. Father was crying with joy as his son was off the leash

14 – What can be done? Gut-brain link. Depression & Gut health.

15 – Environmental factors / unravel the challenge (it’s not normally just 1 thing)

16 – Importance of healthy eating during pregnancy

17 – Walking down the cereal aisle / walking down the cleaning aisle / detergents etc – how this affects gut biome. OJ example – what is in the packet OJ is presented in?

18 – Environmental toxins – dryer sheets – formaldehyde

19 – Not necessarily a ‘cure’ rather making more informed decisions. Free from  Gluten / dairy / sugar / processed foods etc

20 – What’s happened with the gluten in America?

21 – Anti-inflammatory living #TheVitalitySecret

22 – Focus on gut-brain link

23 – Diverticulitis – removal of certain foods. People remove the foods, but what’s the root cause? Where has the imbalance / leaky gut come from?

24 – Breast milk nutrition & ingredients of baby drugs

25 – Long-lasting side effects of medications / effects on gut and brain

26 -  Trust in the innate ability of our own body to heal – SO TRUE!! Creating a strong immune system in children. “Trust your body. Trust your baby.”

27 – Have we been conditioned out of the knowing of our body’s own ability to heal?

28 – ADHD is symptom just like any ‘illness’ – what is causing the symptom?

29 – Our body’s are breathing us. Our heart is beating. Our trillions of cells are being kept alive. Our body is a miracle. Give it what it needs.

30 – We’re not talking about how cancer can be reversed naturally (it can)

31 – Helping parents raise their children away from drama / trauma

32 – ipads / electrical devices – living in an age of ‘hyper-distraction’ – Staying focused in a Hyper World

33 – We get to be mindful about how we choose to focus. The brain is not an octopus.  How light affects our eyes

34 – Coached over 10,000 people / children

35 – Little things we can do / reduce cell phone usage, and EMFs – we must be mindful of this exposure. Studies are hushing it.

36 – We give bored children an ipad/put them in front of the TV. Children need to be taught to self-soothe. To sit in peace with themselves.

37 – how to replace poor “foods” with actual foods and reducing screen time in the family

38 – Example of not being an ‘ipad Dad’

39 – Observation of families all on their phones – parents and kids on phones in restaurants

40 – ADHD is not necessarily a chemical imbalance in brain

41 – Severely autistic child & oxygenated water

42 – An area of chemicals / pesticides / herbicides was left where boy was sat. Root cause: potato seeds – soaked in chemicals to protect the colours to last longer

44 – BIG POINT: Don’t get overwhelmed. Take a deep breath. Trust. Trust the body’s innate ability to heal.
