Great leadership isn’t just about strategy — it starts with brain function.
Dr. Amen often says:
“Mental health is brain health.”
That perspective changes everything at work:
Clarity improves decision-making
Emotional regulation improves communication
Healthy habits improve productivity
Self-awareness improves culture
If we want stronger teams, we need healthier brains.
It starts with how we sleep, think, and manage pressure.
I’m committed to leading with a healthy brain — and supporting others to do the same.
“Let’s start a conversation: How does brain health impact your work?”

Exercise: the ultimate brain boost! Movement increases dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, enhancing focus and mood. Research shows 20 minutes of exercise can improve attention in individuals with ADHD. Try cardio (20-30 minute walk/cycle), martial arts, dance, yoga, or tai chi - small steps to big brain benefits 🧠

Nutrition as a Foundation for Focus

Hi there — it’s okay to start small when it comes to improving focus. What we eat truly fuels how we think and feel. Research shows that the right foods can make a real difference for those with ADHD, helping boost attention and reduce impulsivity.

A few simple steps:

Start your day with protein to keep energy and focus steady.

Cut out artificial dyes and preservatives, which can worsen hyperactivity.

Choose low-glycemic carbs to avoid mid-day crashes.

And don’t forget your omega-3s — think wild salmon, walnuts, or chia seeds — for a natural brain boost.

Small nutrition changes can lead to big focus wins.
