Let’s Talk About ADHD

ADHD is often misunderstood. It’s not laziness or a lack of effort. It’s a brain-based difference that affects how someone starts tasks, manages emotions, and handles everyday demands.

We see this often: a child sitting at the table, homework in front of them, growing more frustrated by the minute. Not because they don’t care—but because their brain feels overwhelmed and doesn’t know where to begin. What looks like avoidance is often a sign of nervous system overload.

ADHD can show up as big emotions, difficulty with transitions, time blindness, and a system that’s frequently in overdrive. When this is misunderstood, shame can quietly build—for both kids and adults.

Support for ADHD isn’t about forcing someone to “try harder.” It’s about understanding the brain, offering compassion, and providing tools that actually work.

If you or your child are navigating ADHD and need support, the Mind & Body Clinic is here to help. You don’t have to carry this alone. 💛

✨Growth is a mindset not just a moment✨

12/16/2025

If we’re being honest — integrative and root-cause care can feel overwhelming.

Once you start asking why instead of just treating symptoms, the layers can feel endless. New information. New providers. New emotions. New grief for the body you thought you had.
And for many people, the hardest part isn’t even the protocols—it’s the isolation.

It’s lonely when the people around you don’t get it.

When:
🌿 you receive a hard diagnosis
🌿 you discover mold
🌿 you’re navigating Alpha-gal
🌿 detox becomes necessary
🌿 a root canal turns out to be a bigger issue
🌿 unresolved trauma shows up in your body
🌿 you’re needing frequent chiropractic care because your muscles won’t hold alignment

It’s rarely just one thing. And it can start to feel like you’re carrying all of it by yourself.

That’s why what we love about being an integrative therapy clinic is creating a space where nothing about your experience feels “too much.”

Just in recent weeks, our clients have felt comfortable coming in and:
🌿 asking for a Rife bath
🌿 asking for a pinch of Celtic salt when their electrolytes feel off
🌿 verbalizing that they need prayer
🌿 talking about bathroom habits without shame
🌿 naming nervous system patterns and spiritual exhaustion in the same session
🌿 Today someone who isn’t a client even called asking for information on Springfield Quality Services and S Lee Beasley for mold inspection because they knew we would help connect them.

None of that requires explanation here. It’s simply part of whole-person care.

One of our core missions in being integrative—and intentionally collaborative—is this:

You are not alone.

Recently, we were given the opportunity to speak to this alongside four other service providers who share this same vision. Not because any one provider has all the answers—but because care works best when it’s shared.

And something we say often—because it matters—
is that you can follow all the right root cause protocols, but if you overwhelm and dysregulate your nervous system doing so, true healing can’t take hold.

Sometimes the most important work isn’t adding more.
It’s slowing down, creating safety, and letting the body feel supported enough to actually respond.

Our role is to help take the big, overwhelming picture
and break it down into manageable, supported steps—
at a pace your nervous system can tolerate.

You don’t have to hold all of it by yourself.

And you don’t have to justify why this path matters to you.

We see you.

And we would be honored to walk through this with you.

✨ Why Sleep Is Essential for the ADHD Mind

At The Mind and Body Clinic, we talk often about the connection between mental, emotional, and physical health. One area that consistently rises to the top—especially for individuals with ADHD—is sleep.

Many people are surprised to learn that sleep challenges are not just common in ADHD; they’re woven into the way the ADHD brain functions. Research shows that:

🔹 Up to 70% of individuals with ADHD experience sleep difficulties, including delayed sleep cycles, trouble falling asleep, or restless sleep.
🔹 The prefrontal cortex—responsible for focus, planning, impulse control, and emotional regulation—relies heavily on consistent, quality sleep to perform at its best.
🔹 When sleep is disrupted, core ADHD symptoms often intensify. This can look like increased distractibility, heightened emotional sensitivity, irritability, and frustration with everyday tasks.

In other words, lack of sleep doesn’t just coexist with ADHD; it amplifies it.
And while sleep won’t eliminate ADHD, it significantly supports the brain in functioning more clearly and calmly throughout the day.

Because the ADHD brain is naturally more stimulated and active, winding down at night can be a challenge. However, small, intentional habits—consistent bedtime routines, reduced evening stimulation, calming sensory environments—can make a meaningful difference.

At The Mind and Body Clinic, we encourage viewing sleep not as a luxury, but as a foundational part of ADHD care. The mind and body work best when they are rested, regulated, and supported.

If you or your child is navigating ADHD, beginning with sleep awareness and healthy routines can be a powerful first step toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and daily functioning.

🎉Happy Fourth Anniversary To The Mind and Body Clinic! 🪴

Today marks 4 years, and if I’m being completely honest… as I sit here humbled to be a vessel after one of the most beautiful 3-hour EMDR intensives...nothing about where we are today is what I pictured when we opened our doors....Not even close.

These years stretched me in ways I did not expect — personally, professionally, emotionally, spiritually.

We walked through staffing changes, 2 full office moves, financial stress, health stuff… and a few seasons that felt like, “Okay Lord, what are we doing??”

There were moments that felt heavy. Moments that made me question if the vision was right. Moments where our team just asked, “Is this normal??” 😅

But here’s the thing:
In the middle of all the chaos, something beautiful happened anyway.
✨ We built out a new space that is finally becoming so peaceful and intentional.
✨ We added services that truly help clients heal on deeper levels.
✨ We were blessed with wonderful new team members and celebrated others who have been DEEPLY missed the last two months returning (and their sweet baby!!).
✨ We saw clients grow, regulate, and transform in ways that reminded us why we started.
✨ We strengthened relationships with providers who love our clients as much as we do.
✨ And we kept showing up — even on the days that felt like a lot.

Somewhere along the way, I realized this clinic has become exactly what it was meant to be.
Not the version I planned.
Not the version I thought I “should” build.
But the version God kept nudging me toward — even when I was dragging my feet.
And I’m grateful.
So, so grateful.

Grateful for every family who trusts us.
Grateful for every provider who sends clients our way.
Grateful for a team that brings their whole selves to the table.
Grateful for the community that cheers us on, shares our posts, and keeps choosing us when life gets messy.

Year 4 was not easy.
But it was honest.
It was refining.
And it was full of small miracles that kept us going.

Here’s to year 5 — whatever it looks like.
More clarity. More growth. More peace. More healing.
And maybe… just a tiny bit less chaos. 😅💛🌿

As the events of the day wind down, we hope you survived—
✨ the noise,
✨ the smells,
✨ the hugs you didn’t consent to,
✨ the football game at full volume,
✨ and that one relative who treats Thanksgiving like a TED Talk.

Today brought us so much to be grateful for…
a sweet new baby for one of our staff, Kala diving into the chaos with us, our new space, and the fact that none of us hid in the pantry eating pie straight from the tin.

(…or if you did, honestly? Proud of you.)

We are beyond grateful for our clients, the people who trust us with referrals, and our wonderful team who shows up every day ready to hold space for All The Things™.

And as you crawl into bed—full belly, overstimulated, emotionally rebooting like a 2003 Dell—remember this:

Gratitude is a powerful tool for both mental and physical health…
even if today the only thing you’re thankful for is quiet and elastic waistbands.

So tell us…
What are YOU thankful for (besides leftovers and silence)?
