Mastering ADHD: Nutrition Tips with Erica Robinson

Our brains are so great, like we can be so much more than just a quote, unquote mental illness, like it doesn't have to suck...
Ever wondered how nutrition can impact ADHD? In this episode of 'The Good Mood Podcast', Dr. Talia Marcheggiani, ND, welcomes back Health Coach Erica Robinson for a lively chat about managing ADHD through diet. Erica shares her personal journey with ADHD, from her diagnosis to trying Vyvanse for nine months, and ultimately discovering the power of nutrition in managing her symptoms. She reveals that many people with ADHD go undiagnosed because their symptoms don’t always match the hyperactive stereotype.
Instead, they might experience hypersensitivity and an inability to filter out unnecessary details. Dr. Talia and Erica dive into the science behind ADHD, discussing brain inflammation, Polyvagal Theory, and the role of histamine and glutamate. Erica explains how an anti-inflammatory diet can help regulate these factors and support dopamine production. The conversation is packed with practical tips on how to master productivity and organization, including techniques like the Pomodoro method.
Erica also touches on the emotional aspects of ADHD, emphasizing the importance of mindset and lifestyle changes. She shares how she’s structured her life to manage her symptoms better and offers advice on making sustainable nutritional changes. This episode is not just informative but also feels like a warm conversation between friends, even featuring a cameo from Erica’s 8-month-old Maeve.
If you're curious about how nutrition can play a role in managing ADHD or looking for practical tips to improve your brain health, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Erica’s insights and learn how you can take control of your brain health through diet and lifestyle.
