In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay dives into a topic that’s sure to challenge the status quo—popular ADHD multivitamins. With eye-catching labels and lofty promises, these supplements flood our social media feeds and store shelves. But are they really helping our kids? Dana reveals why most of these well-marketed products are nothing more than expensive band-aids—and what to focus on instead.

Dana Kay is an ADHD health practitioner, author, and parent who knows firsthand what it’s like to navigate the overwhelming world of ADHD solutions. Through her journey with her own son, Dana has discovered the power of root-cause healing and targeted support. In this episode, she unpacks why testing—not guessing—is the key to identifying what your child truly needs to thrive, and how functional lab testing, dietary changes, and gut healing are essential steps on that path.

Memorable Moments:

Most popular ADHD multivitamins are nothing more than expensive band-aids.

It’s like trying to pour water into a clogged funnel.

You wouldn’t try to fix your car without popping the hood first.

Many of these brands include synthetic forms of vitamins that are poorly absorbed.

You can’t supplement your way out of a poor diet or a body riddled with inflammation.

We test, we don’t guess.

There’s a big difference between supplementing randomly and supplementing for targeted issues.

More isn’t always better—you need the right ones.

Popular multivitamins are like throwing handfuls of seeds into the soil—without checking if the soil is dry.

That’s when your child starts thriving—not just surviving.
