Getting To The Root Cause Of ADHD

Told you are just “busy” or “scattered”, still struggling. We look further — the attention, impulse control, sleep and neurochemistry behind your focus — then build one clear plan around what we find. In clinic in Llandudno, or online wherever you are in the UK.

Symptom check

Which of these sound like your week?

Tap everything that applies. This is not a diagnosis — it is a way of seeing the pattern before we look at your attention and focus.

Our approach

Four principles behind every plan we write.

ADHD is rarely just an attention problem. These principles keep us looking at the whole system.

  1. 01

    Assess, never assume

    Structured diagnostic interview, validated rating scales and a full developmental history — not a checklist and a label.

  2. 02

    ADHD is whole-person

    We map attention alongside sleep, nutrition, movement and emotional health — because ADHD rarely travels alone.

  3. 03

    Root cause first

    Sleep deprivation, nutrient gaps, anxiety and thyroid overlap can all mimic ADHD. We rule these out before concluding.

  4. 04

    One plan, reviewed

    Medication, behavioural strategies, lifestyle and coaching in a single sequenced plan we revise against your progress.

What we examine

This Is A Root Cause Assessment

We do not stop at the label. Four linked profiles build the full picture of what is shaping your attention, regulation and daily functioning.

Symptoms Profile

We begin by mapping the full pattern of your attention and regulation across the day.

Every symptom is placed in context — when it appears, what eases it, what makes it worse.

Your developmental history and daily rhythms are reviewed alongside current functioning.

This profile tells us where to look deeper, rather than where to stop.

  • Structured diagnostic interview
  • Validated ADHD rating scales
  • Developmental and family history
  • Co-occurring condition screening
  • Day-to-day functional impact review

Lifestyle Profile

ADHD rarely exists in isolation from how you live, sleep, eat and move each week.

We examine the foundations your attention stands on — sleep architecture, nutrition and routine.

Stress, movement and daily structure are reviewed against your real schedule, not an ideal one.

Gaps here can mimic or magnify attention symptoms, so they are assessed before anything else.

  • Sleep quality and circadian rhythm review
  • Nutrition and blood sugar stability
  • Movement and physical activity patterns
  • Stress load and nervous system state
  • Daily routine and environmental structure

Laboratory Profiles

Where the picture points deeper, targeted testing confirms what the history suggests.

We specify exactly which tests to request and arrange private testing where appropriate.

Nutrient status, thyroid function and inflammatory markers are reviewed for overlap.

Results are interpreted by a clinician and woven into one sequenced plan.

  • Blood chemistry analysis
  • Nutrient and mineral status
  • Toxic metals analysis
  • Gut dysbiosis markers
  • Stress hormone status

What we offer

Four tools, used together.

Nothing here works well alone. The sequencing is what changes how you feel.

Comprehensive ADHD assessment

Structured diagnostic interview, validated ADHD rating scales, developmental history and screening for co-occurring conditions are combined with a full body and brain analysis. We analyse symptoms relating to gut function, blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalances, thyroid and adrenal function, and liver detoxification — all of which have an enormous influence on brain function and mental health.

Functional Neurology

A systems-based approach that investigates the underlying factors that may influence the onset of symptoms relating to ADHD. We examine how sleep, nutrition, stress, hormones and neurochemistry interact to shape focus, mood and impulse control. By identifying and addressing root drivers rather than managing symptoms alone, we create sustainable improvements in attention and daily functioning.

Lifestyle medicine

Practical sleep architecture, nutrition, movement and daily routine built around a real week, not an ideal one — the foundations any ADHD plan stands on.

ADHD coaching & strategies

Guided sessions in time management, planning, emotional regulation and habit design to translate insight into everyday structure that lasts.

Why we test

The Importance Of Lab Tests

How Do You Know Unless You Look?

Symptoms tell us where to look. Lab tests tell us what is actually happening underneath. These four give us the clearest view of the biochemistry shaping your attention and mood.

Our Four Most Important Tests

Hair Mineral Analysis Test

A small hair sample reveals your mineral balance and toxic metal exposure over recent months.

It shows patterns of nutrient loss, metabolic stress and heavy metal accumulation that blood tests miss.

Because hair grows slowly, it captures a longer-term picture than a single blood draw ever could.

This makes it a practical first lens for understanding what your body is holding onto and what it is losing.

  • Calcium, magnesium, zinc and sodium ratios
  • Toxic metal burden — lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic
  • Metabolic type and adrenal stress pattern
  • Trace element deficiencies and imbalances
  • Trend tracking across repeat samples

Organic Acid Test

A single urine sample maps the chemical by-products your body produces as it makes energy and neurotransmitters.

It reads the gut microbiome, yeast and bacterial overgrowth, and the pathways that build dopamine and serotonin.

Many of these pathways are exactly the ones involved in attention, focus and emotional regulation.

Where the chemistry is stalled, the test shows which step is failing and what is needed to move it forward.

  • Neurotransmitter turnover markers
  • Yeast and bacterial dysbiosis markers
  • Mitochondrial energy production
  • B-vitamin and methylation status
  • Oxalate and detoxification pathway load

Functional Blood Chemistry Profile

A comprehensive blood panel interpreted against optimal ranges, not just the broad “normal” band.

It captures nutrient status, blood sugar stability, inflammation, thyroid function and liver stress in one pass.

Functional ranges catch drift long before it becomes a diagnosable disease, which is when intervention is easiest.

Read alongside the hair and organic acid results, it anchors the whole picture in measurable, trackable data.

  • Optimal-range nutrient and iron markers
  • Blood sugar and insulin regulation
  • Thyroid and adrenal-related markers
  • Inflammation and immune balance
  • Liver, kidney and lipid function

Genetic Testing

Your genetic blueprint can reveal meaningful differences in how your body processes nutrients.

We use relevant genetic insights to add context to symptoms, family history and laboratory findings.

The focus is practical: understanding tendencies that may shape attention, energy and resilience.

These findings help us personalise recommendations without reducing you to a test result.

  • Nutrient processing and absorption pathways
  • Methylation and detoxification markers
  • Neurotransmitter synthesis and breakdown
  • Inflammation and oxidative stress tendencies
  • Personalised nutrition and lifestyle guidance

Beyond the label

What Is Functional Neurology?

Functional neurology explores how the brain, nervous system and body communicate, helping us understand the systems that influence attention, movement, balance, sensory processing and emotional regulation. Rather than viewing symptoms in isolation, it considers the relationships between brain function, physiology, lifestyle and environment. At Neurogenics, this perspective complements ADHD assessment by identifying patterns that may shape how you focus, respond and recover, supporting a more individual, practical and informed plan for care over time, together.

FAQ

Before you book.

Do you replace my GP or psychiatrist?

No. We work alongside your medical team. We do not initiate or change prescribed ADHD medication without your prescriber — we investigate the drivers around your attention symptoms and share our findings with your clinician on request.

I already have an ADHD diagnosis. Is this still useful?

Often more so. Many people are given a diagnosis yet still struggle because sleep, nutrition, co-occurring anxiety or lifestyle factors were never addressed alongside it.

Do I need tests before my first appointment?

Bring whatever you already have. If blood work, sleep tracking or further screening is needed we will specify exactly which tests to request and arrange private testing where appropriate.

How long before I notice a change?

Most people report a shift in focus, follow-through and emotional regulation within four to eight weeks of starting a plan. Deeper sleep and lifestyle markers typically take three to six months to move meaningfully.

Are appointments in person or online?

Both. You can attend our Llandudno clinic for the full hands-on assessment, or be seen over secure video from anywhere in the UK.

Associated clinic

Neurogenics Autism Clinic

ADHD and autism can share some of the same characteristics, so recognising the difference matters. A 20% crossover between ADHD symptoms and autism symptoms may sometimes include difficulties with attention, organisation, sensory regulation and emotional control. At Neurogenics Autism Clinic, these overlapping patterns are explored carefully rather than treated as interchangeable. Understanding the full picture supports clearer assessment, appropriate guidance and a plan that reflects each individual, whether ADHD, autism or both are clearly present.
