If you’ve been newly diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the thought of relying on medicine for the rest of your life might be overwhelming. I’m here to tell you that while medication can be helpful, it’s not the only path forward. At Thrive Health, we offer a holistic, functional medicine approach to managing ADHD, helping clients build healthy habits and sustainable strategies to improve focus, mood, and wellbeing. I’m licensed in California, Texas, and New York, which means my telehealth ADHD therapy can be accessed from any of those states.
A Functional Medicine Perspective on ADHD Treatment
Functional medicine in psychiatry looks at the root causes of symptoms, not just the behaviors themselves. This approach to ADHD treatment considers how factors like nutrition, sleep, hormonal balance, gut health, and stress directly influence attention and self-regulation. By addressing these interconnected systems, clients gain tools that go beyond symptom management to support whole-person health.
Behavioral Interventions That Work
While functional medicine is one of our specialties, we also guide clients through evidence-based behavioral interventions that can make a meaningful impact:
- Stress-management techniques, such as breathing exercises
- Structured routines and organizational strategies to improve executive functioning
- Cognitive behavioral therapy for transforming thoughts around your condition
- Mindfulness practices to build awareness, creating space between distraction and response
These methods are most effective when combined with functional medicine interventions. Lab testing will uncover nutritional deficiencies that might be contributing to attention issues and ADHD-induced fatigue, and we’ll teach coping mechanisms for the rest.
