Why do children with ADHD seem exhausted by the end of the day?
Why do meltdowns often hit after school?
And why does it feel like they are constantly craving sugar?

In this episode, adapted from a live masterclass inside the ADHD Warrior Mum community, Dr. Olivia Kessel is joined by Lucinda Miller, founder of NatureDoc and author of Brain Brilliance, to explore how brain fuel affects energy, focus, emotional regulation, and behaviour in children with ADHD.

We discuss:

• Why the ADHD brain uses more energy than a neurotypical brain
• How blood sugar crashes drive dysregulation and meltdowns
• Why breakfast matters more than most parents realise
• How nutrition can support ADHD medication and sleep
• Practical, low-pressure strategies that work in real families

This is not about perfect diets or restriction.
It is about understanding your child’s brain and supporting steadier days.
