Listen "Addressing the root causes of ADHD and Learning Disabilities with Integrative Educational Therapist and Nutritionist Lorraine Driscoll"
Episode Synopsis
If your child struggles with reading, focus, behaviour, or has been labelled with a learning disability or ADHD, you’re not alone. It also might be time to look deeper than tutoring.
In this episode, I am joined by Lorraine Driscoll, an Integrative Educational Therapist and Nutritionist who helps moms uncover the root causes of their children’s learning and behaviour challenges.
A former teacher and a mom herself, Lorraine brings a holistic approach that combines brain-based therapies with functional nutrition to help children thrive beyond labels. Her approach includes addressing gut health, nervous system dysregulation, retained primitive reflexes, and much more to build up the foundations so children can learn more easily.
Lorraine and I talk about:
Why tutoring alone often isn’t enough to address learning challenges
What’s missing in the conventional approach to ADHD and learning disabilities
The most common root causes of learning and behaviour difficulties
How gut health, nutrition, and toxins can impact brain function in kids
The role of nervous system regulation and primitive reflexes
Real life stories of transformation from families who’ve worked with Lorraine
Simple steps parents can take today to start supporting their child’s brain and body
How to recognize early signs of underlying issues in your child
