🌿✨ A Closer Look at Nutrition & ADHD ✨🧠
A gentle guide for parents, carers & neurodivergent adults
🧬 Nutrient Insufficiencies – What the Research Shows
A UK study found that many children and adults with ADHD and other neurodivergences have lower levels of:
🫐 Omega-3s (EPA + DHA)
🔆 Vitamin D
🔋 Magnesium
🧂 Zinc
🧩 B-vitamins
Lower omega-3 levels were linked with more learning/language symptoms, and lower magnesium levels were connected to greater ADHD severity.

🥛🌾 Food Intolerances & Allergies
Research showed:
✨ 80%+ had reactivity to cow’s milk/dairy/casein
✨ 50%+ were reactive to wheat/gluten
This does not mean “gluten causes ADHD.”
But for some individuals, food sensitivities may worsen inflammation in both the gut and brain, amplifying ADHD symptoms.
🦠 Gut Microbiome & Dysbiosis
The gut-brain axis is deeply involved in attention, mood, and behaviour.
Research indicates:
🔬 ADHD is associated with altered gut microbiota
🌱 Micronutrient support can shift the gut terrain — increasing beneficial species like Bifidobacterium
🔥 Gut inflammation may contribute to neuroinflammation and symptom severity
⚡ Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress = an overload of free radicals vs. the body

Over 3,000 studies to read just on heavy metals and Parkinson’s. Any brain twitching condition is toxicties. Here are a few I pulled up to read. The heavy metal detox smoothie would be a great thing to have and a deep clean up of diet to improve health. Exposures to metals and toxic chemicals creat oxidative stress at a cellular level and that’s brain cells. 🫨🫨🫨pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8010213/

Many sweet treats are super inflammatory because of all the sugar. I only have dark chocolate now and I avoid Cadburys altogether. I make these now and again. You could add a dash oh real honey or real maple syrup and some vanilla extract if you wanted or make chocolate orange ones with dark chocolate orange. I have 85% and over and I check the sugar content as some dark chocolate is also loaded. 🥰👍 #
