For parents of kids ages 4–12
Starts September 15
Food might be part of why your child can't focus or settle
Fed to Focus is a six-week online course for parents of children with ADHD, hyperactivity, or big emotions. Each week you watch one short lesson and try one small change in your kitchen.
It isn't a diet and it isn't a cure. It's the research on food and the brain, put in plain language, at a pace that fits the week you're actually having.
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF
You've changed everything except what's on the plate
Most parents in this position have already tried the behavior side of things, sticker charts on the fridge, earlier bedtimes, taking away screens, rewards for a calm morning. Some of it helps.
None of it touches what your child's brain is actually running on all day.
Getting out the door takes an hour, and breakfast ends up being whatever they'll eat in the car.
The notes from school keep saying the same things: distracted, fidgety, can't finish the work.
Small things set off big reactions, and the crash after school is the worst hour of the day.
They live on the same five beige foods, and you've stopped fighting about it because you're tired.
You've read that dyes and sugar might matter, but every article says something different.
You'd try the food angle if someone would just tell you what to do first, in plain language.
WHY FOOD IS WORTH A LOOK
Three things going on inside a growing brain
This is the part no one explains at the pediatrician's office.
It takes about two minutes to read, and it's the reason the course exists.

ENERGY
Blood sugar rises and falls
A breakfast of cereal, toast, or a granola bar burns off fast. When it runs out, kids don't say "I'm low", they get irritable, restless, and can't concentrate. It happens mid-morning at school and again in the late afternoon at home.
FOCUS CHEMISTRTY
Attention is built from food
Dopamine is the brain chemical behind focus and motivation, and the body builds it out of protein, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fats.
A diet of mostly beige, packaged food is thin on all four.
SENSITIVITY
Some children react, some don't
Artificial dyes and certain additives affect some kids noticeably and others not at all.
Nobody can tell you which yours is from the outside, you find out by watching properly for a couple of weeks. That's Week 1.
To be very clear: ADHD is neurological, food does not cause it, and nothing here replaces your child's doctor or treatment. Nutrition is one tool that may support focus, steadier energy, and mood, and it's one of the few you control from your own kitchen.
HOW THE SIX WEEKS WORK
One lesson, one small change, each week
Every Monday you get a 9–10 minute video, a printable workbook, a simple tracker, and one thing to try.
About thirty minutes of your week, and Week 1 asks you to change nothing at all.
WEEK 1 · UNDERSTAND
Just watch
You keep a simple food and behavior log for a week. No changes, no rules. By Sunday you can see which days went badly and what came before them.
WEEK 2 · OBSERVE
Understand the pattern
Dopamine, blood sugar, and cravings in plain language, so the hard hours stop feeling random and you can explain them to a teacher or a grandparent.
WEEK 3 · FUEL
Fix breakfast first
The first real change, and the one that does the most: a short list of breakfasts with enough protein to last until lunch, that work on a rushed school morning.
WEEK 4 · UNJUNK
Read the label
Which dyes, additives, and hidden sugars are worth caring about, which aren't, and what to swap in that your child will actually eat.
WEEK 5 · BUILD
Set up the kitchen
Pantry sorted, lunchboxes handled, and the after-school snack decided in advance, so the hardest hour runs on a plan instead of your patience.
WEEK 6 · THRIVE
Make it stick
Birthday parties, restaurants, grandparents who bring sweets, and picky eating, plus a 90-day plan so this doesn't fall apart in November.
Everything that arrives with it
Six video lessons and six printable workbooks
Breakfast, lunch, and snack recipes with shopping lists
A mid-week email so the lesson doesn't get lost
Trackers for food, mood, behavior, and afternoon crash
A label-reading guide and a pantry audit you can print
A 90-day family plan, and all of it yours to keep
WHO'S TEACHING IT
Hi, I'm Michelle Walker.
I'm a nutrition educator, and I run Unjunk America, an education project that helps families cut down on ultra-processed food without turning dinner into a battle. Fed to Focus is the six weeks I built specifically for parents of kids with ADHD and hyperactivity, because those are the parents who write to me most.
I'm not going to tell you food fixes everything, and I'm not going to hand you a 40-page elimination plan. I'll show you what the research says, translate it into something you can do on a Tuesday, and stay with you while you try it.

About thirty minutes a week, a short video and one small activity. You can watch it after bedtime.
Then you're who this is built for. Week 6 covers picky eating directly, and nothing in the course assumes an adventurous child.
No. Nothing is banned and there's no elimination diet. You add and swap, one step a week, at a pace your family can manage.
The lessons are for you. The activities are designed to include your child as a helper and a detective, never as a patient.
Nothing disappears. Everything stays available after October 26, so a hard week doesn't cost you the course.
No, it's nutrition education. Keep your child's clinician in the loop, and never change medication or treatment based on a course.
12 families · Starts September 15 · Backed by the three-week promise
Fed to Focus is educational and does not provide medical advice. Talk with your child's clinician about their care.
