– Scheduling and ADHD – Interview – ADHD Entrepreneur Summit:
Many people, particularly those with ADHD, are intimidated by schedules. But rather than being evil taskmasters, a schedule flows from the brightest, most helpful and nurturing part of you that is trying to align what you do in the moment with your own life goals and values. I recommend slotting in sleep, meals, physical movement, and rest/down time before putting in any work related items. And remembering why you want to, not why you have to do the task provides helpful motivation in the moment.

– Ketosis and Mental Health:
Normally our brain and body are highly reliant on glucose for energy. But under conditions of significant carbohydrate restriction we can switch to states of ketosis, where we burn fatty acids for energy. This state may have benefits in reducing inflammatory processing and improving functioning in brain circuits. But as of early 2025, no research confirms that ketosis is helpful for ADHD.
