Our Biomedical Methods
How We Treat ADHD
Fewer and Milder Side Effects
Pharmaceutical drugs for ADHD, such as stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin) and non-stimulants, can have significant side effects, including insomnia, appetite suppression, anxiety, mood swings, and in some cases, heart issues. Biomedical treatments, which often focus on dietary changes, supplements, and addressing nutritional deficiencies, tend to have fewer and milder side effects, making them less disruptive to daily life.
Addressing Underlying Causes
Biomedical treatment aims to identify and correct underlying biological factors that may contribute to ADHD symptoms. For example, it may focus on correcting nutritional imbalances (e.g., low levels of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, or magnesium), food sensitivities, or gut health issues. By targeting root causes, biomedical approaches may provide long-term benefits, rather than simply masking symptoms, which is a common approach with pharmaceutical drugs.
Non-Addictive
Many pharmaceutical drugs for ADHD, particularly stimulants, carry a risk of dependence or abuse. Stimulants are classified as controlled substances because of their potential for addiction. Biomedical treatments, such as nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies, are generally non-addictive and do not pose the same risks.
Personalized and Holistic Approach
Biomedical treatments are often tailored to the individual based on specific health needs, lab results, or genetic factors. This individualized approach contrasts with the more generalized use of pharmaceutical drugs, which may not address the specific biological factors causing ADHD symptoms in a particular person. For instance, some people with ADHD may benefit from dietary adjustments to eliminate certain food allergens or additives that exacerbate symptoms.
Long-Term Benefits
By addressing core health issues (such as nutrient deficiencies, poor gut health, or exposure to toxins), biomedical treatments may offer long-term improvements in ADHD symptoms. These treatments can improve overall physical and mental health, while pharmaceutical drugs may need to be taken indefinitely to control symptoms without providing lasting solutions.
No Psychological or Cognitive Side Effects
Pharmaceutical ADHD medications, particularly stimulants, can have cognitive side effects such as irritability, anxiety, or emotional blunting. Biomedical approaches, like improving diet or using natural supplements (e.g., omega-3s, B-vitamins), generally support brain health without causing these psychological or cognitive side effects.
Supports Overall Well-Being
Biomedical treatments often focus on improving overall health through better nutrition, exercise, and sleep. These factors can improve not just ADHD symptoms but also enhance overall quality of life. In contrast, pharmaceutical drugs are typically focused solely on managing ADHD symptoms, without addressing broader health concerns.
