let's talk about intermittent fasting for
adhd attention deficit hyperactivity disorder there's some really fascinating research on this
that shows that both intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting you know as in 72 hours can
greatly affect the frontal lobe of your brain and it can create significant improvements
in cognition i'm talking about concentration focus memory clarity creativity those are your
cognitive functions but the study relates to improving the front part of your brain which is
involved with paying attention making decisions helping you organize and plan because they found
if they actually disconnect that part of the brain and destroy it you will not be able to pay
attention you won't be able to decide anything you can't organize and you definitely won't be
planning now it's interesting to me that when you do research on adhd the experts will say that it's
the chemical imbalance but it's never been proven or it's genetics or the brain is somehow rewired
for these symptoms and um they don't know why they don't know how but we still have to do research to
see if that's true or not in the meantime we have some medications for you well the problem with the
medications is they have side effects okay and the side effects sometimes create the exact same
symptoms they're supposed to get rid of now if you're new to my channel and you're not familiar
with what fasting can do basically what happens is we stop feeding the brain glucose so as a survival
mechanism the body switches over to making a preferred source of fuel it's called ketones
and your neurons love ketones more than glucose in fact if the neurons had a choice between glucose
and ketones they would always use the ketones now there are certain parts of your brain that
need glucose but your body can make that glucose out of fat out of protein out of non-carbohydrate
sources so you don't need to be consuming glucose to feed the brain glucose but when you fast you
give it ketones and ketones do many wonderful things for the brain but one of the big things
it will do is improve your cognitive functions and so if you haven't tried it before i highly
recommend you give it a try especially if you have any problems in focusing concentrating having
problems with clarity i would also add vitamin b1 in the form of nutritional yeast i would add
some zinc and i would add omega-3 fatty acids hey before you go if you're benefiting
from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story
