The Role of Supplements & Processed Food in ADHD Management

Thriving With ADHD

Welcome back to Thriving with ADHD, where we delve into practical tips for adults navigating life with ADHD. In this episode, we're celebrating a fresh start to the year by tackling the significant role of nutrition and natural supplements in managing ADHD symptoms.

Join our host, Nada Pupovac, as she welcomes back Meredith Rappaport, an experienced Physician Assistant from Animo Sano Psychiatry. Meredith brings a wealth of knowledge from her extensive career in mental health, exploring the powerful intersection of medication management, psychotherapy, and the vital impact of nutrition on brain health.

In this discussion, Meredith breaks down the concept of neuroinflammation and its pervasive presence in mental health conditions, including ADHD. Together, we explore how certain antioxidants, like N-acetylcysteine, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, play crucial roles in supporting brain health, reducing inflammation, and potentially enhancing the effectiveness of ADHD treatments.

This episode also sheds light on the potential benefits of lithium orotate and American ginseng as alternative or supplemental treatments for ADHD, emphasizing the importance of a personalized approach to mental health care.

Finally, we touch on the impact of diet, particularly the Mediterranean diet, on reducing neuroinflammation and promoting better brain function, offering practical insights for day-to-day living.

Whether you're seeking to optimize your mental health or explore integrative approaches to managing ADHD symptoms, this episode is packed with actionable insights and expert guidance.
