NeuroNourished Kids
A personalised nutrition and gut health programme designed to nourish and balance your child’s brain, unlocking their full potential.
Why NeuroNourished Kids?
-
NeuroNourished Kids is designed to support mums of children with ADHD. I will guide you through a comprehensive assessment of your child's gut health, nutrient status and brain function, providing easy-to-digest information on how diet and ADHD are connected, and how to nourish both their gut and brain.​
​
-
Medications (such as Ritalin) are just a band-aid. They don’t address the root cause of your child’s symptoms and in some cases may make things worse.
​​
-
Imbalanced bacteria in the gut can cause inflammation in the body, which may disrupt the brain’s ability to regulate attention, memory, and emotions—challenges commonly experienced by those with ADHD.
​​
-
Unlock your child’s full potential with a neurodiverse brain.
​​
-
Support the gut-brain link and ease ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity, inattentiveness, impulsiveness and agitation.
​​
-
Optimise brain chemistry to improve your child’s ability to focus and regulate their emotions.
​
Improving your child’s gut health and nutrient status through diet, food, and supplements is essential for optimising their mood, sleep, learning, and overall development.
​
*Please note, this package is suitable for children aged 7+ years old
Poor gut health can play a significant role in neurodiversity and associated mood disorders. The bacteria in your gut helps to produce important brain chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine, and these chemicals facilitate communication with the brain and impact mood, focus, and attention.
Working together
I’m Sophie, a Registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in gut health, the brain and neurodiversity.
​
By taking a functional medicine approach, we can work together to restore balance to your child’s brain, alleviating unwanted symptoms and helping them to focus and thrive.
​
NeuroNourished Kids is designed for mums seeking a comprehensive assessment of their child’s gut health and unique biochemistry. It’s the first step in identifying the specific triggers behind your child’s symptoms and behaviours.
How It Works
This is a 30-day programme which includes functional testing, a full review of the results and a personalised approach for your child.

Follow the instructions provided by the lab to complete the OAT for your child. Post urine sample to the lab and wait for the results (approx. 10 working days).

What is functional medicine?Functional medicine is a systems-based approach to your health and wellbeing that aims to restore balance by addressing modifiable lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, and relationships. It focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease, whilst also understanding an individual's genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors so that a personalised treatment plan can be created. Functional medicine aims to remove what is causing imbalance and provide what creates balance.
-
Who does a functional nutritionist help with?A functional nutritionist is someone who has trained as a registered nutritional therapist, and in the functional medicine approach. They can then specifically support a client with their health through personalised nutrition plans, and they are also trained to recommend supplements which can help support an individual.
-
What can I expect from a nutrition and functional medicine consultation?We work with our clients for a minimum of three months. The first consultation is 90-minutes, and we will discuss your health history, lifestyle, diet, and any symptoms or health concerns you may have. We’ll also consider your family history, genetics, and environment so that we can understand the root cause behind your symptoms or disease, and then we will create a personalised treatment plan that includes dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. We’ll then meet weekly or fortnightly to check-in, see what is working and what we need to change, as we move you towards your health goals and allow the body time to adapt and heal. We may also recommend working with a health coach if you find change difficult. Click here to read more about how we work

-
What is the difference between functional medicine and conventional medicine?Conventional medicine is aimed at diagnosing disease or illness, and then provides help on managing or treating the symptoms (e.g. a painkiller for when you are in pain or an antidepressant for when you have low moods). Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of diseases. It provides a personalised approach and looks at how changes to diet and lifestyle can then begin to bring the body back in balance.
-
What conditions can be treated with functional medicine?Functional medicine can help treat a wide range of conditions including chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, as well as conditions like hormonal imbalances and digestive issues. Here at Urban Wellness, we specialise in mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction, as well as eating disorders and disordered eating. Find out more about areas of mental health we can help you with.
-
How can functional medicine benefit me?Functional medicine can benefit you by providing a personalised treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your health issues rather than just treating the symptoms. Most of our clients here at Urban Wellness have been living with their symptoms or illness for some time and found that conventional medicine either doesn’t help or doesn’t go far enough. We understand that, for example, people get diagnosed with depression and yet why is started and how it feels is individual for every person. This is why the personalised, functional medicine approach is key, because it is about you as in individual, and not the diagnosis!
