Rethinking ADHD: Integrative strategies for better outcomes
On-demand recorded 16 Mar 2026
In collaboration with the RACGP Child and Young Persons' Health and Integrative Medicine Specific Interests, this webinar explores how you can take ADHD care to the next level.
Discuss how to improve outcomes for children and adolescents by addressing the underlying factors that drive or worsen ADHD symptoms. This practical, evidence-informed session will unpack the role of nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep, too little movement, and too much ultra-processed food in amplifying inattention, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation. You’ll gain clinical insight into targeted nutritional and lifestyle strategies and scientifically supported nutraceuticals that promote calmer behaviour, improved focus, and better emotional regulation.
Ideal for GPs wanting to expand their ADHD toolkit, this webinar will provide actionable guidance to support whole-child wellbeing, optimise neurodevelopment, and deliver more sustainable, long-term outcomes — helping you move from symptom management to true therapeutic impact.
Learning outcomes
- Identify common lifestyle and nutritional factors that can mimic or increase ADHD symptoms.
- Outline strategies that patients and families can use to improve ADHD symptoms by addressing underlying biomedical, nutritional, and lifestyle factors.
