2d • ADHD Performance OS
🎉 This week's lineup for 11/9
Hey everyone, hope you're heading into the week strong!
Whether you just joined or you've been part of the community for a while, as a fellow ADHDer you're exactly where you need to be. And if your struggling with sleep try working through my Evening Routine planner and I'm sure in a week or two you'll start to see improvement.

We open with a quick check in where you share what you're working on, then work side by side in silence, and close out with a final check in. If you've ever sat down to do something alone and watched an hour disappear before you even started, this is the fix. Come with a task, any task, and let's get it done together. Put it on your cal here.

📚 We're off and reading The Better Brain by Bonnie Kaplan and Julia Rucklidge, and the comments have turned into a goldmine. A few things I've added there.
🩺 Med students get less than 20 hours of nutrition training across 4 years of school and big pharma is what sponsors all the drug testing, hence why we are always prescribed a med before looking into our diet and nutrition.
🍑 Our food isn't what it used to be. Soil has lost a lot of its minerals over the decades, and the peach you buy today really isn't the one your grandmother ate, hence the need to consume additional micronutrients to fill that gap.
⚖️ We need omega 3 and omega 6 in roughly a one to one ratio, but the Western diet runs about 15 to 1.
🧬 How my own DNA (MTHFR and slow COMT) shapes how I eat and supplement.
🦠 The gut and brain connection and why Bifidobacterium decreased when children were given a multi-nutrient, which then was associated with decreased ADHD symptoms.

💊 After reading about it, I ordered TrueHope's EMPowerplus, one of the most researched micronutrient formulas for mental health, ADHD included. I'm taking 2 tablets with breakfast and 2 with dinner. In the post I break down what it doesn't cover (omega 3, vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin K) and how I'm filling those gaps. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. This is my own experience and not medical advice, so talk to your doctor before you change anything.

Here's a peek at how I'm putting this into practice in my own kitchen. Every one of these breaks down which nutrients matter and why.
🍳 What's on my ADHD breakfast plate. Overnight oats, eggs and kimchi, built to keep the dopamine assembly line stocked.
🥤 What's in my ADHD smoothie. Whey, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, chia, pomegranate and wild blueberries, and what each one does.
🍠 Sweet Potato Pudding...really? Yep. My new go to treat after every big meal, packed with vitamin A, magnesium and omega 3.
🍫 Crunchy Chocolate Granola. My take on a chickpea granola, with the ADHD micronutrients and easy upgrades.
I'm not looking to get everything right. Just stacking the odds in my brain's favor. 💪
See you Tuesday!
