ADHD Without Medicine

✨ Healing from within ✨

For the last six weeks, I’ve been removing foods my body doesn’t tolerate, guided by a simple blood test from Supply Life . Now, I’m moving into a Keto phase for the final stretch of my elimination journey — a method rooted in a concept I call the “Back to Basics Brain.”

This isn’t just a new fad — it’s a journey I first began nearly 10 years ago, inspired by my mum’s experience supporting me in the ’80s and the pioneering Feingold Diet from the 1970s, created to help with allergies and behavioral health.

As I navigate perimenopause and life’s stresses, I’m excited to share what I learn along the way. Follow along for honest updates, tips, and inspiration to listen to your body and heal naturally. 💚

“Master the techniques of balance within the bounce.”

REWARDING THE BRAIN.

This is the fun part. Really.

• How often can you say that you give your ADHD brain what it wants?
• How often can you say that you guide and support this entirely?
• How often can you say that - because of the above - your work and life is mostly balanced and effective?

The ADHD brain craves stimulation; and it has its own rules of how to get it.
Unlock your potential by allowing your brain to be extreme and be rewarded for it.
“Great big Dopamine boost,” I hear you say?! Yes please!

Ok, you may find this uncomfortable, but just remember, you’re on my page for the most powerful health tips, not fluff.
​
​They may not be the easiest, or the most popular, but they are the most potent, I promise.
​
One part of the modern diet that is missing, is removing organ meats.
​
Muscle meats are comparatively nutrient poor compared to organ meats like liver, heart, and brains.
​
The most commonly consumed organs come from cows, pigs, lambs, goats, chickens and ducks.
​
Every traditional society at organ meats, because they pack with nutrients like no other food on earth.
​
What Are the Different Types?
The most common types of organ meat include:
• Liver: Liver is the detox organ. It’s also the nutritional powerhouse of organ meats and sometimes referred to as “nature’s multivitamin.”
• Tongue: Tongue is actually more of a muscle. It’s a tender and tasty cut of meat due to its high fat content.
• Heart: The role of the heart is to pump blood around the body. It may not look edible, but it’s actually lean and tasty.
• Kidneys: Like humans, mammals have two kidneys. Their role is to filter waste and toxins out of the blood.
• Brain: Brain is considered a delicacy in many cultures, and it’s a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.

• Iron: contains heme iron, which is highly bioavailable, so it’s better absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plant foods
​
• Great source of choline: Organ meats are among the world’s best sources of choline, which is an essential nutrient for the human brain
• Cheaper and reduced waste: Organ meats are not a popular cut of meat that are often wasted!

Critical Vitamin A

Liver is an important source of retinol, which is pre-formed vitamin A. Just three ounces of beef liver contains 26,973 IU of vitamin A, while pork liver and chicken liver contain 15,306 IU and 11,335 IU, respectively.

If you aren’t eating cod liver oil, you’ll probably want to eat liver a couple times a week to make sure you’re getting enough vitamin A.

Let’s put our heads together for organ meat ideas, how did your grandparents add organ meats to their diet?

We need to revive this treasured human way of eating.

I talk a lot about the ADHD brain and sensory dopamine connections that begin in childhood.

*My brain needs several dopamine hits a day and they are a mixture of sensory capacity and food.

So true. 💯

Boiled eggs, spinach, avocado and new potatoes.
Oh, and a coffee in a mug with a cat on it. 😁👌🏻

CBD is a very clever, multi-tasking molecule - it’s brilliantly versatile and gets top marks for bringing body and brain into balance. 🙌🏻👏🏻
(It’s about as diverse as our ADHD brains, which makes it excitingly relatable!!)
💪🏻🧠
As a big fan of botanical, super-nutrient based drinks, I was pretty excited to find this one by 🌿

Specifically containing: 15mg Liposomal Broad Spectrum Organic Cannabidiol (CBD).
Plus, top marks for the additions of zinc (the ADHD brain lacks this naturally) and vitamin c (a big-hug-vitamin that we all need for our immune systems) and one of my most favourite herbal (defence-against-the-dark-arts) remedies - echinacea. 🌱⭐️

How do you use CBD?
I’d love to know.

Asparagus quiche.
Inspired by 😍 (substituting feta cheese for cheddar however...😬)

I love making pastry.
It’s very therapeutic.
A quiche has to be warm though....agree or disagree?!

Normal cup of tea ☕️;
Breakfast smoothie bowl at 11.30am ish (I’m not a huge fan of lunch or of an early breakfast 🤷🏻‍♀️);
Cup of coffee+collagen with a teaspoon of True MCT (metabolic oil for brain brilliance - essentially it upgrades your absorption of amino acids and antioxidants 👏🏻🙌🏻) and hot almond milk.

*breakfast smoothie in the =
Half an avocado 🥑;
1 heaped tablespoon of oats;
1 tablespoon cacao powder;
1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed;

Coconut. 🥥 🌴
A magic essential fatty acid.
A healthy fat that fuels the brain.
(Others include avocados, flaxseed oil, free range organic eggs, and h**p oil.)

Brilliant at helping to stop the brain-fog.
I use it all the time when I’m cooking; I also use it as a body moisturiser.

Top marks coconut, top marks.
👏🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

Breakfast goals for kids.
🥐🍊🍇🍓
Everyone likes a novel breakfast.
We call this 👆🏻 sort of breakfast ‘snacky-bits’ (because it’s usually a surprise; going back to when I’d have a tiny baby and a constantly hungry toddler to amuse.)
Whatever exciting (edible) things I could find in the pantry/kitchen/fruit garden, I’d display. Hit and miss, obviously, but I was amused, and so were they.
It’s only my youngest (5) now who still asks for his breakfast like this.
🍓🍇🍊🥐
Keep being exciting and novel with everything in your ADHD life.
Your unique flair will never allow for life to be dull.
My children wait for my madness, like a delightful friend who’s come to play.
They ask for her.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Don’t dull your sparkle or squash your brilliant brain 🧠...it is magic.
