Coming Soon: Expanded Holistic Care Options! *** after hours fee of $100 after 6pm
ADHD can be complicated, and treating ADHD is about more than just taking medication. Dr. Patrone takes both a family medicine and functional medicine approach to treating ADHD. This means developing a tailored treatment plan that looks at the whole body in order to help regulate attention and support overall brain health.
Already have ADHD but feel like there are pieces missing from your treatment? Meet with Dr. Patrone to discuss the functional medicine approach and learn about potential blood testing, supplements, and lifestyle strategies that may help improve your symptoms.
Amatoria Wellness offers functional medicine for ADHD for individuals in Tooele and surrounding communities who want a more comprehensive approach to understanding and managing symptoms related to attention and focus.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a complex neurological condition that affects both children and adults across the United States. While conventional treatment often centers on medication alone, a functional medicine approach evaluates the broader picture of brain health, lifestyle, nutrition, and other biological factors that may influence ADHD symptoms. At Amatoria Wellness, we provide evaluation and guidance for patients who:
Have already received an ADHD diagnosis but want a functional medicine perspective
Are experiencing ADHD symptoms and want to explore whether attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may be present
Want additional strategies for managing ADHD beyond medication
ADHD, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, affects attention, impulse control, and executive function. Common ADHD symptoms may include:
These symptoms can appear in both adults and children and may impact school, work, and daily life.
A functional medicine approach recognizes that ADHD symptoms may be influenced by multiple biological and environmental factors. Instead of focusing only on symptom suppression, functional medicine explores possible contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, gut health, food sensitivities, and lifestyle factors.
This approach does not replace conventional treatment but expands the evaluation to consider the full picture of the ADHD brain.
Traditional ADHD treatment in the United States often includes stimulant medication or other ADHD medication options. These medications can help manage symptoms of hyperactivity and attention difficulties for many patients.
However, functional medicine looks beyond medication alone and considers additional influences on cognitive function and brain health. A functional medicine approach may evaluate:
Vitamin D levels and other nutrient deficiencies
Gut health and the role of gut bacteria
This holistic approach allows providers to look for possible underlying causes of symptoms rather than focusing only on symptom management.
For some patients, conventional treatment such as stimulant medication may remain part of their care. Functional medicine can complement that care by exploring lifestyle modification and additional strategies that support ADHD management.
At Amatoria Wellness, patients receive individualized evaluation to determine the most appropriate path forward. Some patients already have a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and want additional support with managing ADHD. Others may be experiencing symptoms and want to determine whether ADHD may be present.
Our process may include:
This plan may include education, lifestyle modification strategies, nutritional guidance, supplements when appropriate, and coordination with other providers when necessary.
Amatoria Wellness supports both adult ADHD and pediatric concerns when appropriate. ADHD symptoms may present differently in adults than in a child, and evaluation often includes discussion of work performance, organization, attention patterns, and emotional regulation.
In some cases, ADHD symptoms may overlap with other conditions such as anxiety or autism spectrum disorder. When more complex mental health concerns are present, patients may also be referred to Tyson for additional support and coordination of care.
This collaborative approach helps ensure patients receive appropriate evaluation and treatment when multiple factors may be involved.
Functional medicine is often described as a bridge between conventional medicine and integrative medicine. At Amatoria Wellness, this means evaluating both traditional medical approaches and broader lifestyle influences on brain health.
This holistic approach is designed to support long-term cognitive function, attention, and emotional regulation.
Functional medicine does not replace medical care but can provide additional tools for ADHD management.
Examples of strategies that may be discussed include:
For patients who cannot easily travel to Tooele, Amatoria Wellness also offers telehealth consultations when appropriate. Telehealth allows individuals in surrounding communities to access functional medicine guidance without needing to visit the clinic in person.
This option can be especially helpful for families with busy schedules or individuals seeking ongoing ADHD management support.
Patients interested in understanding the functional medicine perspective on ADHD may also explore additional educational resources. Amatoria Wellness provides access to recommended materials, including an ADHD-focused ebook available through our clinic.
These resources help patients better understand ADHD symptoms, lifestyle factors that influence attention, and practical steps for managing symptoms in everyday life.
