Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats ADHD as neurobiological dysfunction with identifiable root causes, not lifelong sentence requiring stimulant medication in children. Comprehensive testing identifies: nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, heavy metals, gut dysfunction, mitochondrial function. Protocol: 1) Optimize nutrition (brain-building nutrients), 2) Eliminate food triggers (artificial additives, dyes, allergens), 3) Stabilize blood sugar, 4) Heal gut (neurotransmitters made in gut), 5) Remove toxins, 6) Support mitochondrial function, 7) Neurofeedback/biofeedback, 8) Address sleep and lifestyle. Many children improve dramatically or resolve completely.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Stimulant medications (Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Concerta), non-stimulants (Strattera, Intuniv), behavioral therapy, school accommodations.
Medications mask symptoms without addressing root cause (nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, gut dysfunction, toxins), stimulants have significant side effects (appetite suppression, growth suppression, sleep issues, anxiety, personality changes, cardiovascular risks), tolerance develops, difficult to discontinue, no investigation of underlying biochemistry, often started in young children (developing brains).
