"Proteins are super important for general health... they’re important for a number of different functions and structures and the physiology of the body."
In this episode, I’m breaking down why protein matters for ADHD. You’ll learn about the science behind protein and it’s benefits. We’ll also hyperfocus in on the specific importance of protein in ADHD, how it supports neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin and what that actually means for you.
We’ll cover:
- Why protein matters and the benefits for your brain and body
- How much protein you really need for optimal health
- How to get enough protein if you don’t eat meat
- Easy ways to increase your intake without overcomplicating things
I’ll also walk you through different types of protein sources and how to build them into your meals, especially if meal planning feels like a struggle.
