Research has established that increased intake of processed sugars and fast-food consumption has been correlated with a higher risk for ADHD and behavioral disturbances in children. There is also evidence implicating the role of food sensitivities to proteins found in dairy and wheat that can trigger symptoms of irritability, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This webinar will distinguish the clinical characteristics between food sensitivity vs. food allergy, and guide participants on how to interpret functional medicine testing results to make appropriate dietary and treatment recommendations.
