from The First Seven Years

Are these three common foods secretly sabotaging your child's focus and behaviour?Dr. Nerissa Bauer reveals the shocking connection between everyday foods and ADHD symptoms that most parents never consider. As a pediatric health expert, she explains why artificial colorings, sweeteners, and preservatives act as neurological irritants—substances that have been banned in the European Union for decades but remain legal in American food. Learn why your child's brain is like a sponge, absorbing everything you put into their body, and discover the golden rule that could transform their development: avocado at six months, salmon at seven months for optimal fatty acid brain support.Dr. Bauer breaks down the critical importance of eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables daily, explaining how antioxidants act as frontline soldiers detoxifying harmful substances that shouldn't be in your child's body. She also addresses the controversial gluten question—while not definitively proven, the brain-gut connection suggests that leaky gut leads to leaky brain, potentially triggering food sensitivities that worsen ADHD symptoms. Plus, discover why sheep's milk is actually closer to human breast milk than cow's milk, offering a gentler alternative for sensitive children.Follow Dr. Nerissa Bauer: Website: https://www.letstalkkidshealth.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstalkkidshealth/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrNerissaBauer/Follow Dr. Murray: Website: http://www.drmurrayclarke.com/Follow Bryce Wylde: Main Site: https://wyldeonhealth.co Instagram: /wyldeonhealth Facebook: /wyldeonhealth YouTube: /@wyldeabouthealthThank You To Our Show Sponsors: Trusted guidance for every stage of parenting – https://www.askdrsears.com/ Know your Omega-3 levels and take control of your health – https://omegaquant.com/DISCLAIMER: The information provided in The First Seven Years is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your pediatrician or other healthcare professional.
