One way to calm an ADHD brain without medication!
Many people with ADHD say coffee makes them feel more anxious, overstimulated, jittery or mentally scattered rather than focused 😵💫
One reason matcha feels different is because it naturally contains L-theanine alongside caffeine 🍵
L-theanine has been shown to support alpha brain wave activity, which is associated with a calmer, but more alert and focused mental state. Instead of the sharp spike and crash people often experience with coffee, matcha tends to create a slower, steadier release of energy and focus 💫
It also appears to blunt some of caffeine’s overstimulating effects, which is why many people describe matcha as giving them “calm focus” rather than wired energy 🧘🏽♀️
This is also why I stock a Lion’s Mane Matcha blend, combining matcha with Lion’s Mane mushroom to further support focus, cognition and mental clarity without the crash many people experience from high-dose coffee intake ⚡️
Small shifts in how you support the brain and nervous system can make a much bigger difference than people realise 🧬
