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. Listen to the full episode for all the details!
