Is there a link between the body and the brain? Absolutely. So, can how you feed your body affect neurodevelopmental disorders like ADD or ADHD?

In this episode I discuss what the research and my own experiences are showing in how dietary choices relate to ADHD symptoms, and triggers. Diet is not a cure for the disorder. Medication and behavioral therapy are the only found effective treatments, but it certainly cannot hurt to also be mindful of the impact of food on focus and impulse regulation. 

It's a perpetual party amongst your now 40 something Frat boys, or your girlfriends from high school. Your group's "rules" have been established. Everyone joins in, no one brings down the group by having HEALTH goals of all things. Sound familiar?

Nearly 75% of women, and I am sure a similar percentage of men report that they feel no or little support around their lifestyle choices when it comes to fitness and nutrition. This makes success, consistency, and socializing so hard on the journey. 

In the episode I will share some suggestions, tips and tools for combating social circle sabotage and also how to avoid being anti-social during your fitness process. 

Fiber is the little known carb that could. What is fiber, and how does it impact our ability to maintain normal blood sugar, moderate hunger, manage cholesterol and fat storage, regulate digestion...SO many things. 

But also we have to be super mindful of how the manufacturers of products are using the low carb, keto craze to over simplify fiber. In order to drive down the net carbs (total carbs - fiber & Sugar alcohols), they are infusing a lot of "junk" fiber into products. Many are even falsely claiming carbs just to sell more. 

Work on whole foods, quality sources of fiber, and see how it works in your favor on the scale, and otherwise.
