Protein plays a critical role in mental health.
Amino acids from protein are the building blocks for neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine — chemicals that regulate mood, motivation, focus, and stress response.

When protein intake is too low, the brain may struggle to produce these neurotransmitters efficiently, which can contribute to low mood, anxiety, poor concentration, and fatigue.

As a general guideline, most adults need a minimum of around 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day to support brain function, blood sugar stability, and nervous system health.
For example, a 70 kg person requires at least 70 g of protein daily.

Meeting protein needs consistently — spread across meals — is foundational for both mental and physical wellbeing.

Food intolerances aren’t just about what you’re eating — they’re often about how your gut is functioning. When the lining of your digestive tract becomes inflamed or damaged, particles that shouldn’t cross into the body can trigger immune responses, causing bloating, pain and ongoing sensitivity. Healing the gut lining and reducing inflammation can help calm these reactions and may even improve your tolerance to foods over time.
It’s not about avoidance forever — it’s about restoring gut integrity so your body can handle foods better.

Iron deficiency is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Address the root cause, not just the lab result.

ADHD these are 8 symptoms, 7 of which I have and so many others do as well.

ADHD isn’t a flaw or a lack of intelligence.
Our brains are wired differently.

When most people hear ADHD, they think:
hyperactive
distracted
unfocused

But ADHD is much more than that.

It affects attention, emotions, motivation, memory, and time — often in ways people don’t recognize.

Here are some hidden ADHD symptoms:

Overthinking & Mental Paralysis
Too many thoughts can lead to brain freeze.
People overanalyze small decisions and end up doing nothing.

Hyperfocus
ADHD isn’t a lack of focus — it’s difficulty controlling it.
When something is interesting, hours can pass without noticing time, hunger, or fatigue.

Emotional Sensitivity
Emotions are felt intensely.
Criticism hurts deeply, and rejection can feel overwhelming (often linked to RSD).

Time Blindness
Five minutes can feel like an hour.
Two hours can disappear quickly.
This isn’t carelessness — it’s how the brain processes time.

Mental Restlessness
Not everyone with ADHD is physically hyperactive.
Many experience nonstop thinking, planning, worrying, or daydreaming.

Trouble Starting Tasks
This isn’t laziness or procrastination.
Motivation often appears only when urgency or pressure sets in.

Forgetfulness & Brain Fog
Missed appointments, lost items, mental fog.
It’s not lack of effort — working memory is affected.

Impulsive Talking & Oversharing
Interrupting or saying things without thinking isn’t intentional.
Impulse control works differently in the ADHD brain.

Many people go undiagnosed because these traits are mistaken for personality.

You’re not broken — your brain works differently.
Let’s choose awareness over judgment.
