If AD(H)D is considered so heritable how does that go with dietary changes reducing /eliminating symptoms?

[@CoachingWithBrooke]

Hi…many things can increase ADHD symptoms, such as lack of sleep, food that causes brain fog, stress, not enough water. So the opposite is the same, if you get reliable sleep, reduce inflammatory foods, exercise regularly you can lesson ADHD symptoms
