"It's reassuring to know that my treatment plan is designed for me, based on my health and my unique needs rather than according to a pre-set plan for all patients. I feel so grateful that I’m able to discuss everything I need to without feeling rushed."

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Toronto Children/Adult Naturopathic Treatment
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) require holistic treatment that addresses environmental factors, nutritional factors and psychological factors.
Nutrient deficiencies and exposure to toxic metals, such as lead, can negatively affect brain function, leading to ADHD symptoms. Food allergies, synthetic food additives and eating refined sugars also contribute to attention deficit and hyperactivity in both children and adults.
Dr. Guthrie uses specialized diets, nutritional supplements and herbal medicines to support optimal brain function. As well, stress management and coping techniques are important aspects of treatment.
