Supplements can make a real difference in ADHD whe Supplements can make a real difference in ADHD when they’re targeted + evidence-based.

Here are my Top 5 picks I often use in clinic:
🧠 Omega-3s – brain fuel for focus + mood
⚡ Zinc – supports dopamine + behaviour regulation
🧘 Magnesium – calms the nervous system + helps sleep
🌱 B-Vitamins – essential for neurotransmitter support
🌿 L-Theanine – promotes calm, focused energy

💡 Sometimes, testing shows other nutrients (like iron or vitamin D) are low too - which can also affect focus, energy, and mood. That’s why personalisation matters.

Deficiencies in key nutrients, poor gut health, an Deficiencies in key nutrients, poor gut health, and impaired detoxification pathways all contribute to symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the challenges of perimenopause.

💭 Low Vitamin D? Often linked to low mood.
💛 B Vitamins? Essential for a healthy nervous system.
🌿 Fibre? Crucial for a smoother perimenopause transition.
🧠 Omega-3s? Feed your brain and support cognition.
🍳 Protein? Needed to make serotonin and dopamine - your feel-good neurotransmitters.

We are literally made of nutrients - and we need them to function and feel our best.

That’s why I’ve created a series of nourishing, real food meal plans designed to support your mental health and emotional balance with the nutrients your body craves.

30g of Fibre a Day - Nutritionist Approved. Getti 30g of Fibre a Day - Nutritionist Approved. 
Getting enough fibre isn’t just for digestion - it’s essential for hormone balance, blood sugar stability, and mental wellbeing.

As a clinical nutritionist, I aim for 25–35g of fibre a day from real, whole foods. Here’s what that looks like on my plate 👇🏼

🥣 Greek yogurt, granola, and kiwi
🥤 Flax + avocado smoothie
🍳 Egg and veggie-packed quiche
🍲 Hearty minestrone soup with beef, beans and greens

Together, these meals deliver over 30g of fibre and support:

✔️ Gut health
✔️ Hormone detoxification
✔️ Stable energy + mood

✨ Fibre feeds your microbiome and your mood.

Food is first - but supplements are powerful allie Food is first - but supplements are powerful allies for mood and mental wellbeing.

In clinic, I often support women with:
	•	Magnesium (for calm + nervous system support)
	•	Omega-3s (anti-inflammatory brain fuel)
	•	B Complex (especially B6 + B12 for neurotransmitter support)
	•	Probiotics (hello, gut-brain axis!)
	•	Adaptogens like Rhodiola or Ashwagandha (stress resilience)

These support the work we do with diet - like the meals in my Mood Meals eBook.
Start with food, layer with support.
