Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are often treated as fixed diagnoses—but from a natural-medicine perspective, they are better understood as patterns of imbalance that can be addressed. In this two-part course, K.P. Khalsa presents a comprehensive, non-pharmaceutical approach to supporting focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive stability. Students explore the underlying nutritional, dietary, neurological, and environmental contributors to ADD/ADHD, along with practical natural strategies that can lead to meaningful, long-term improvement. This course is ideal for parents, adults with attention challenges, and practitioners seeking effective holistic tools.

ADD and ADHD are among the most debated and misunderstood conditions in modern healthcare. Diagnoses are based largely on behavioral observation rather than objective testing, and treatment often relies heavily on stimulant medications that may not address underlying causes. In this in-depth two-part course, K.P. Khalsa reframes attention disorders as complex, multifactorial patterns involving nutrition, inflammation, brain chemistry, food sensitivities, environmental exposures, and nervous-system regulation.
Part One focuses on understanding ADD/ADHD itself—its history, diagnostic controversies, symptom patterns, and common overlaps with learning differences, anxiety, mood challenges, and behavioral reactivity. Students examine why attention challenges are rarely isolated issues, how dietary triggers and nutrient deficiencies can drive symptoms, and why individualized assessment is essential for lasting improvement.
Part Two moves into a detailed exploration of natural treatment strategies. Students learn how specific vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and dietary approaches can support focus, impulse control, emotional regulation, and cognitive endurance. The course emphasizes empirical, step-by-step experimentation rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, drawing on both clinical experience and research-informed practice.
Rather than positioning ADD/ADHD as a permanent limitation, this course presents a hopeful, practical framework for improvement—one that empowers individuals and families to address root causes, reduce symptom severity, and support healthy brain development over time.
