From Nutrition To Therapy: A Wellness Toolkit For ADHD
This week SheerLuxe published their Wellness Toolkit for ADHD and I was so thrilled to be headlining it!
As someone with ADHD or a parent of a child with ADHD, you may have first hand experience of how vital nutrition is for maintaining optimal physical and mental health, particularly for nourishing the ADHD mind. Diet can be one of the most challenging aspects of managing ADHD and where people need to the most help. This article addresses the key nutrients needed to create a better balance of dopamine and norepinephrine.
