About Yana Kleyman

Yana Kleyman is a functional medicine health consultant and a former doctor of pharmacy with over 20 years of experience in traditional healthcare. After facing her own health crisis, she discovered functional medicine and experienced a remarkable recovery through holistic healing.

Now, Yana helps children with ADHD thrive naturally by identifying the root causes of their symptoms—from gut imbalances to food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies—so they can live their best lives without unnecessary medications.

📌 Key Takeaways:

✅ ADHD isn’t just about the brain—it’s about the body. Gut health, inflammation, and diet all play a major role.
✅ Food sensitivities cause inflammation and neurotoxicity. Ingredients like artificial dyes, preservatives, and processed foods can worsen ADHD symptoms.
✅ Nutrient deficiencies are often overlooked. Minerals like zinc, magnesium, and iron are critical for brain function and focus.
✅ Functional medicine treats the root cause. Unlike traditional ADHD treatment, which only manages symptoms, a functional approach looks at diet, lifestyle, and holistic healing.
✅ Small changes make a big difference. Simple shifts—like improving diet, reducing screen time, and optimizing sleep—can lead to major improvements in ADHD symptoms.
