ADHD: Genetic or Nutritional?

Let’s talk about what’s right and wrong in this clip

So what’s right?

  • Yes, nutrition affects the brain.
  • Low magnesium, low vitamin B, and low omega-3s can definitely impact focus, mood, and energy.
  • Diet matters for behavior—no argument there.

But here’s what’s wrong:

  • ADHD is not just a vitamin deficiency.
  • ADHD does have strong genetic, neurochemical, and developmental roots.
  • Nutrition can influence symptoms, but it’s not the sole cause.
  • Calling it “purely nutritional” oversimplifies a real medical condition. 
  • Nutrition can influence symptoms, but it is not the cause of ADHD.
