150. Nutrition for ADHD + Simple Lifestyle Shifts That Work
Description
ADHD is one of the most misunderstood conditions — especially in women. In this episode, I’m joined by dietitian and ADHD advocate Kiah Paetz, who not only supports clients with ADHD but also lives with it herself. Together, we unpack how food, lifestyle, and mindset can impact focus, energy, and overall wellbeing.
You’ll learn:
- How ADHD affects eating habits — from forgetting to eat to impulsive snacking
- The truth about elimination diets and whether cutting sugar, gluten or dairy really helps
- Key nutrients like omega-3s, iron, vitamin D and magnesium that support brain health
- Simple meal planning strategies to make balanced eating less overwhelming
- The role of sleep, movement, and screen time in managing ADHD symptoms
- Why self-compassion is just as important as nutrition when it comes to thriving with ADHD
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or just want to better understand how food and lifestyle shape brain health, this episode is packed with practical tips you can start using today.
