#181 - ADHD Nutrition Research Expert Annika @thenutrimindlab

In this episode, Travis (@travismurrells_) sits down with ADHD nutrition research expert Annika (@thenutrimindlab) to explore the often-overlooked intersection of ADHD, hormones, and nutrition, specifically for women.Annika breaks down why women with ADHD experience perimenopause symptoms up to 10 years earlier than the general population, and why declining estrogen makes ADHD symptoms progressively worse over time. They unpack how hormonal shifts affect dopamine, gut health, calcium metabolism, and why standard diet plans so often fail women with ADHD.The conversation gets real about the emotions of late ADHD diagnosis, the grief of realising you've been living life on "hard mode," where crash diets and rigid nutrition plans really fail, and how to build self-trust again.If you're a woman with ADHD wondering why nothing seems to work, this episode will change how you think about your body, your hormones, and your relationship with food.Annika's Eat to Focus Cookbook, filled with 70+ delicious dinners, breakfasts, snacks, and drinks that are designed to be both accessible and nutrient-dense to optimise your brain and nervous system.
