Got 10 Minutes? What You Eat Is Messing With Your ADHD

Megan was TikToking, as one does, and landed on a video about food-induced ADHD symptoms. She immediately thought of Danna. Because obviously. Both certified ADHD-havers, both deeply invested in food — which basically makes them experts. This one's for anyone whose brain feels like it's running 47 tabs and someone just spilled coffee on the keyboard.

Whether you're diagnosed, suspicious, or just chronically scattered, the food-brain connection is real — and it goes way deeper than "eat less sugar."

What You'll Learn:

1. How certain foods can trigger ADHD-like symptoms even in people without a diagnosis
2. Why sugar and high-carb breakfasts are basically a wrecking ball for your focus
3. The caffeine paradox — why it helps some ADHD brains and completely derails others (Danna can't even handle decaf)
4. The specific supplements worth actually trying: omega-3s, magnesium, iron, zinc, L-Tyrosine, and lion's mane
5. Why buying a pile of supplements without changing your diet first is just expensive wishful thinking
6. How Megan accidentally self-medicated with coffee for years — and only figured it out when she quit

Megan has been secretly giving her husband decaf for years. He just found out. She has no regrets.
