🧠 Struggling to Focus with ADHD? Your Forking Food is Making it Worse for Your Brain 

When we think about ADHD, nutrition usually isn’t 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 ADHDā„¢ podcast episode, I spoke with Loretta Wilkins, Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach, about something we all do every day—eat—and how that can directly impact ADHD symptoms. Spoiler alert: what you feed your brain matters. A lot.

🌱 Food is Medicine—Especially for the ADHD Brain

Loretta shared her family’s journey into a more plant-based lifestyle and how it helped her kids with ADHD thrive. 

Here’s 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, it’s all connected!)

šŸ½ Try the “Complete in Three” for ADHD Strategy

Balancing meals doesn’t have to be hard. We can keep it simple for the ADHD brain. We recommend the simple rule of ā€œComplete in Threeā€:
āœ… Healthy fat
āœ… Fiber
āœ… Protein

This helps stabilize energy, avoid crashes, and keep the brain running smoothly all day.

šŸ„• What If You Struggle to Eat Veggies?

We get it. Not everyone is diving into a salad bowl daily. That’s where Juice Plus comes in. It helps to bridge the gap between what we should eat and what we actually eat—and it makes a real difference in health and focus.

šŸ’„ You Have More Control Than You Think

Your food choices can either fuel your brain—or fog it up.
You can reduce ADHD symptoms naturally. You can boost energy, mood, and attention. It starts with small shifts at the table.
