women that come to us who have sudden ADHD symptoms they didn't have them before. Yes, it can be

hormonally driven, absolutely it can. But they could also have, for example, the IUD coil. If it's a copper coil, they've got a source of copper in their body. And if they're born not able to excrete enough copper, that's going to be terrible. Point is, there are biochemical imbalances. And you can treat those imbalances by giving the body what it

needs in terms of vitamins, minerals, amino acids at high enough doses that it can rebalance itself.

Sarah Worley is an Oxford University educated global expert in neurodiversity.

Specializing in drug-free approaches to better brain health.

Sarah founded the key clinic to make life easier for those with ADHD without

medications. There are definitely biochemical imbalances. The majority of people who have ADHD,

we now know that copper acts as a co-factor to an enzyme that takes dopamine. So that's the thing

we all know we don't have enough of. it pushes it into being norapinephrine

which is the thing that makes you nervous and anxious or angry you know it's the adrenaline-like response

if you have too much copper especially free copper your dopamine is going to be pushed into this

other pathway and zinc has the opposite balancing effect on copper so if you've got lots of zinc

you'll have lower copper and if you've got lots of zinc, you'll have lower copper. And if you've got

lots of copper, the chances are your zinc's going to be very low. Do you think that there's a treatment
