When we think about ADHD, nutrition usually isnāt the first thing that comes to mind. But what if the real game-changer for focus, mood, and energy was already sitting on your plate?In the latest More Than ADHD⢠podcast episode, I spoke with Loretta Wilkins, Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach, about something we all do every dayāeatāand how that can directly impact ADHD symptoms. Spoiler alert: what you feed your brain matters. A lot.
š± Food is MedicineāEspecially for the ADHD Brain
Loretta shared her familyās journey into a more plant-based lifestyle and how it helped her kids with ADHD thrive.
Hereās what she learned along the way:
⨠Sugar, dyes, and processed foods = distraction and dysregulation
⨠Whole foods = focus, mood balance, and better behavior
⨠Gut health = brain health (yep, itās all connected!)
š½ Try the “Complete in Three” for ADHD Strategy
Balancing meals doesnāt have to be hard. We can keep it simple for the ADHD brain. We recommend the simple rule of āComplete in Threeā:
ā
Healthy fat
ā
Fiber
ā
Protein
This helps stabilize energy, avoid crashes, and keep the brain running smoothly all day.
š„ What If You Struggle to Eat Veggies?
We get it. Not everyone is diving into a salad bowl daily. Thatās where Juice Plus comes in. It helps to bridge the gap between what we should eat and what we actually eatāand it makes a real difference in health and focus.
š Whole food composite pathway to health
š Packed with 30-40 fruits and veggies a serving
š Easy to add into any routine
š„ You Have More Control Than You Think
Your food choices can either fuel your braināor fog it up.
You can reduce ADHD symptoms naturally. You can boost energy, mood, and attention. It starts with small shifts at the table.
