Description

Did you know that dopamine plays an important role in managing ADHD symptoms?  On a recent live coaching call, I spoke with Elizabeth about dopamine, ADHD, gut health and what we can do to optimize wellness in each of these categories.  Dopamine, “the feel-good” neurotransmitter, is often dysregulated in individuals with ADHD, creating issues with attention, motivation and impulse control.  Here’s my dopamine to-do list:  Regular Dopamine Detoxes: Yes, to increase dopamine we need to make sure our dopamine receptors are available and our brain has a chance to detox and reset.  Anti-inflammatory Diet: Avoiding inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, and sugar can help reduce brain inflammation and support dopamine production. Quality Sleep: deep, uninterrupted sleep is crucial for overall brain health. Establishing Routine: Your brain responds to routine although routine may not be as exciting in terms of dopamine.  We also discussed testosterone and adrenal health, specifically the role of stress.
