When Behavior Isn’t “Just a Phase”
If your child has trouble focusing, can’t sit still, or experiences big emotional outbursts, you’ve probably heard the word “ADHD” thrown around. While ADHD diagnoses are on the rise, what’s often missing from the conversation is the why.
As a naturopath in Blairsville, GA who works extensively with kids, I see a consistent pattern: mineral imbalances that affect brain chemistry, nervous system regulation, and behavior. Addressing these imbalances can make a real difference—not by masking symptoms, but by supporting the body at its foundation.
The Mineral-ADHD Connection
Your child’s brain relies on the right balance of minerals to send and receive signals effectively. When those levels are off, you may see symptoms like:
Hyperactivity or impulsivity
Short attention span
Emotional meltdowns or irritability
Sleep struggles
Learning difficulties
Some key examples:
Low Magnesium → Restlessness, irritability, trouble sleeping
High Copper → Emotional intensity, anxiety, hyperactivity
Low Zinc → Poor focus, sensory sensitivities, low appetite
Sodium-Potassium Imbalance → Stress reactivity and mood instability
How HTMA Testing Works for Kids
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a painless, non-invasive way to assess your child’s mineral levels and toxic metal exposure. We collect a small sample of hair, send it to the lab, and get a clear picture of what’s happening internally.
From there, I create a customized plan with:
Child-friendly nutrition strategies
Targeted supplements (when needed)
Nervous system support techniques
Lifestyle adjustments to improve focus, mood, and resilience
Why Parents in Blairsville Choose This Approach
Unlike quick-fix solutions, this is about uncovering root causes. Families I work with often report improvements in:
Calmer moods and fewer meltdowns
Better focus and school performance
More restful sleep
Increased ability to self-regulate emotions
