[quote=Anonymous]There’s real science supporting the gut-brain connection. You need to address the root cause before adding any sort of supplements. The supplements can’t work if you have leaky gut, for example. The main things you can start with is eating an anti-inflammatory diet with zero gluten, dairy, soy, very little sugar, no artificial dyes or colors. Increase whole food  intake, healthy fats, think grass fed proteins and wild caught fish. Incorporate pre-and probiotic foods. Drink a ton of water and get plenty of sleep. It sounds like you already have the exercise pretty well handled. All of this should be your starting point in addition to getting some functional bloodwork done so you know where his deficiencies are. Then you can target even more specific supplements to where he is lacking in nutrition.

I am not anti-medication. We tried them with our seven year-old and the side effects were absolutely horrendous (dramatic tics where people thought he had Tourette’s syndrome and extreme emotional highs and lows). We are choosing to go the lifestyle route — while it is extremely difficult and much more time-consuming than popping a pill every day, I feel it is addressing the root cause. [/quote]
