ADHD affects more than focus. It impacts sleep, energy, appetite, and mood. For both children and adults living with ADHD, nutrition plays a key role in managing symptoms daily. At Eat for Life, we offer nutrition services in Pinehurst that focus on real food, realistic plans, and measurable improvements.
Whether you live near the Pinehurst Resort, the Village Green, or anywhere in Moore County, we provide direct, one-on-one support built around your life. You don’t need to overhaul everything at once. Instead, we help you create practical routines that make a difference—without adding stress.
Research continues to show that nutrition can affect how ADHD shows up. Specific eating patterns help support focus, emotional regulation, and energy. Others may make symptoms worse.
One widely cited study published in Nutrients found that diets higher in processed foods and sugar were linked to increased ADHD symptoms. In contrast, nutrient-dense diets with healthy fats, lean protein, and vegetables were linked to fewer symptoms and better functioning.
Here are a few key reasons nutrition support matters:
We don’t promote strict diets. We support small, realistic shifts—like changing what’s in a school lunchbox, planning better snacks, or adjusting evening meals to help with sleep.
Eat for Life stands out with its unique approach. We work with individuals and families across the country, including right here in Pinehurst. Our focus is ADHD nutrition—offering evidence-based support that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and routine.
Here’s how we work:

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions that may help if you need assistance or have any inquiries.
Payment is due before your first consultation. I accept check, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Labs are invoiced after your initial consultation and nutrient orders after your protocol is completed.
I work in three and six-month increments. Nutrient therapy uses therapeutic dosages to penetrate the nucleus of the cell so real change and deeper healing can occur. Please know true healing takes time and that diet and lifestyle changes are important components to individualized nutrients because they work in synergy with one another.
Like many functional medicine clinics, my services are an out-of-pocket expense, which allows me to provide you with the best nutrition and lifestyle care available and does not limit your care to what is covered by health insurance policies.
I am set up to accept HSA/FSA cards but since every insurance company has its own policies, I cannot guarantee their coverage.
Additionally, you may be able to work with your insurance company for a percentage coverage by submitting your service receipt.
Please note, I am unable to provide superbills.
6-month program clients receive $50 off their first lab order. Our initial consultation will help me determine labs that are of immediate need, and those we can hold off on until a later date.
After your initial consultation, you will be invoiced for your lab order. Then we will send your requisition forms for your blood draw. Urine, hair elements, stool, and other kits are mailed via USPS, UPS or FedEx. Full instructions are included.
A special note for clients in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island: our lab cannot physically ship test kits or process lab orders in these states due to legislative laws. However, test kits may be sent to a surrounding state address. Kits must also be sent back from the surrounding state. Blood draws must also be performed in a surrounding state.
Our lab is able to process specimens in most countries. Please fill out our consultation form to see how we can best support you.
6-month program clients receive 20% off their first supplement order.
After your initial healing plan has been created (only if you live in the US), we will create an online dispensary account for you to order your nutrients. I only work with nutraceuticals that are of the highest efficacy and purity standards and I do not recommend buying supplements from Amazon.

I run a virtual clinic located in North Carolina, United States, Eastern Time. I have clients in many countries, all over the world. We will connect via private and secure video or phone.
Reasonable email support is included with all programs and response times are within 48 business hours (weekdays). Most of the time I respond the same day. Large volume emails are best discussed during session time.
Single sessions that are not part of a program do not include email support or protocol revisions.
I really value our time together. If you are running late, please let us know and I will do my best to hold your session. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so 48 business hours in advance. For missed appointments, your session will be deducted from your program.
We are open from 9am to 5pm, Eastern Time, USA, Monday through Friday.
