Are you struggling with 3pm crashes, brain fog, or ADHD symptoms that seem worse at certain times of the month? Catherine McClory, a Registered Nutritional Therapist diagnosed with ADHD at 35, joins us to share game-changing nutrition strategies that transformed her life and those of her clients.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why 25-30g of protein at every meal is crucial for dopamine production
  • The hidden link between iron deficiency and brain fog (especially in women)

  • Why addressing your nervous system comes before nutrition changes

Catherine shares practical tips like what 30g of protein actually looks like on your plate, why your 2-egg breakfast isn't enough, and how to properly supplement for optimal brain function. We also dive into the fascinating connection between hormones and executive function throughout the monthly cycle.
