Magnesium is one of the most talked about supplements for ADHD, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay breaks down why magnesium matters so much for kids with ADHD, the different forms available, and how to choose the right one without making symptoms worse.
Drawing from her own experience as a parent and as an ADHD health practitioner, Dana explains how magnesium supports sleep, mood, focus, and stress regulation, and why it must be paired with a strong foundation of diet and gut health. Parents will walk away with practical tips, clarity about which forms work best, and a framework to avoid the trial and error mistakes most families face.

Memorable Moments:
“Not all magnesium is created equal — the form you choose can make all the difference.”
“You can’t supplement your way out of an inflamed body — foundation comes first.”
“If the gut hasn’t been supported or inflammation is high, even the best magnesium won’t make a dent.”
“Magnesium can be a powerful ally for your child — but it’s not magic.”
“I’ve tested dozens of magnesium products, and none combined the forms I wanted for ADHD support — so I created one.”
“Start low, go slow. Track reactions. Never start two supplements at the same time.”
“Food-first, foundation second, then the right supplements. That’s the order that actually works.”
