  • 126: What Your Child’s Poop is Telling You with Dana Kay
    Sep 19 2024

    As parents, we're always monitoring our children's habits and health, but we might not realize how much we can learn from their poop. The color, consistency, and frequency of your child's bowel movements can provide important clues about their digestive health, nutrient absorption, and even potential food sensitivities.

    In this episode, we'll discuss what to look for in your child's stool, when to be concerned, and how you can support their digestive health naturally. We’ll also talk about the connection between gut health and brain function and offer practical strategies you can put into place today to help your child thrive.

    Key Takeaways:

    [3:11] 7 different types of stool

    [6:22] DIY at-home gut health test

    [8:28] What to do if you have slow transit time

    [9:52] What to do if you have fast transit time

    [10:58] What is leaky gut?

    [21:37] How to improve leaky gut

    [26:31] Functional lab tests we recommend

    Memorable Moments:

    The color, consistency, and frequency of your child's bowel movements can provide important clues about their digestive health, nutrient absorption, and even potential food sensitivities.”

    ”The Bristol Stool Chart or Bristol Stool Scale is a medical aid designed to classify feces into seven groups.”

    ”Our brains are deeply connected to our guts. If our guts aren’t functioning well, our brains won’t be able to function well either. ADHD symptoms can become worse when the gut isn’t functioning properly.”

    ”A few at-home things you can do to improve slow transit time include: drinking more water, eating foods that are rich in fiber, exercising more, and working to improve the diet (eating more whole, nutrient-dense foods and healthy fats and eating less processed foods). Magnesium citrate can also be beneficial.”

    ”For many children with ADHD, persistent poo and gut problems are caused by leaky gut.”

    ”Leaky gut is one of the most common underlying stressors that I see in families that I work with. That’s because there is a very close connection between the gut and the brain. One of the first signs of a disconnect in the brain is a gut that is not functioning well, that is because of the 2-way communication between the two.”

    ”Did you know that the gut is also responsible for making 70 - 90% of our serotonin and 50% of our dopamine which are our happy, feel-good neurotransmitters… in our body that helps regulate our emotions?”

    ”When it comes to supplementation there is no “one size fits all” approach. Supplementation should be tailored to each individual in order to address specific healing opportunities, provide support, and make up for poor food quality.”

    Sep 12 2024

    Mary Ann’s son said he was “the worst kid.” He wanted to do what his parents and teachers asked of him, but he just couldn’t. His ADHD symptoms made it feel impossible for him. It broke Mary Ann’s heart.

    Even though this is heartbreaking, there is good news too. Things can change! Mary Ann’s son Adam is doing INCREDIBLE now, and his self-esteem has improved too. Mary Ann sat down with us not too long ago and joined this episode of the Soaring Child Podcast.

    Mary Ann is a remarkable mom who has been on the frontlines advocating and adapting for her child with ADHD. Tune in to this episode to hear her inspiring story!

    Key Takeaways:

    [2:59] Challenges Mary Ann’s son faced as a result of his ADHD

    [12:38] How Mary Ann felt when her son was first diagnosed with ADHD

    [13:33] Why Mary Ann chose to try natural strategies instead of medication

    [18:45] Improvements Mary Ann saw in her son

    [20:36] Advice for families just starting the journey

    [22:43] How Adam’s dad feels about the changes they have made

    [23:46] Mary Ann’s advice for parents feeling hesitant about natural strategies

    Memorable Moments:

    “He said, ‘I’m trying. I want to follow what everybody was asking me to do. They want me to sit still. I really want to do it. But the thing is, I don’t know how'… He said he couldn’t do it, even though he wanted to.”

    ”An ADHD journey or an ADHD diagnosis doesn’t necessarily look the same for everyone.”

    “He was gluten-free for two weeks…The first thing I noticed - and I was shocked - was his handwriting. His handwriting improved so much. And so did his sleep. It was like magic.”

    ”When I first started, I was skeptical. I was nervous. I wasn’t sure if I was making the right choice…”

    ”The number one thing that I did was I focused on the food that he can eat. I did not focus on the foods that he can’t eat.”

    “If you’re skeptical but then you saw ‘Dana Kay’ on Facebook or you saw ‘ADHD Thrive Institute,’ it’s a good sign. Take it as a good sign because this is help that the universe is sending to you…I wish I had delved into it right away.”

    “If you are skeptical, try it. There’s nothing to lose…It’s an investment in your child. It’s an investment in their body…They will feel better and they’re going to tell you.”

With over 17 years of experience reviewing high-cost medical claims and collaborating with employers on wellness strategies, Wendy has profound insight into the impact of poor lifestyle choices, medication, and toxic exposures. Her personal journey is interwoven with the difficulties her children faced – navigating ADHD, anxiety, impulse control, and emotional dysregulation. After discovering the effects of toxic mold through the ADHD Thrive program, she became very passionate about helping others discover their own path to healing. As an FDN-P, wife, and mother of three, Wendy personally understands the challenges parents face. Her commitment extends beyond professional expertise; it’s a heartfelt dedication to make a difference in the lives of others. Tune in to learn more about the effects of mold on ADHD kids.

[29:46] What parents should watch for when getting mold remediation Memorable Moments: ”It [mold] can affect everyone, even if you don’t realize that it’s affecting the whole household.” ”It’s neuro-toxic. It definitely has so much impact on the body and when you start digging in, you don’t know that at first. I mean, I’ve learned so many things along the way just by making mistakes.” ”I saw all my kids' symptoms - and my own - just increase like crazy. It was ten fold. It was this giant dose of mold, and I could just clearly see what was impacting them…it made me a huge believer.” ”It was a very different range of symptoms for each one of us and so it was hard to pinpoint exactly, ‘Oh, I think our house is making us sick.” ”The professionals that we’re going to, they don’t always know everything.” ”Trust your instincts. You know yourself best. You know your children best.” ”If somebody says to investigate mold, you have to do it. Don’t wait like I did because I would have found out sooner!” ”If you’re suspecting that mold might be an issue, get a test done…Not all tests are made equal.” ”Your body will heal. That’s what our bodies are made to do. Just keep going.
