Looking for ADHD help without relying on stimulant medication alone?
Many people (myself included) find major benefits from natural, holistic changes whether implemented alongside medication or integrated alone.
Here are some of the best science-backed strategies you can start today below….
Nutritional Supplements for ADHD
Omega-3 fatty acids: Support brain function, mood, and focus.
Zinc: Helps with impulse control and hyperactivity.
Magnesium: Promotes calm, better sleep, and improved focus.
Iron: Essential for dopamine production (low levels are common in ADHD).
Vitamin D: Boosts mood and attention; low levels linked to more severe symptoms .
Probiotics: Improve gut-brain axis health which in-directly support emotional regulation.
Adaptogens (e.g., Bacopa, Ginkgo): Used to support focus and memory, especially useful for women in menopause.
Exercise & Movement
Regular physical cardio activity (even just brisk walking) can boost dopamine, improve mood, and reduce hyperactivity.
Different movement styles: yoga, swimming, cycling, martial arts, or team sports - choose what you enjoy most.
Short, daily physical routines (10–20 mins) are more effective for ADHD brains than occasional long workouts.
Super Brain Yoga - a specific easy 3 min squat exercise scientifically proven from Havard University via brain imaging designed to enhance cognitive function, increase mental clarity, and boost brain power. It activates & energizes the brain's neural pathways, improving memory, focus, and reducing stress.

Mindfulness Meditation: Allows you to feel grounded, calm & present in the movement, and regulate your nervous system for focus.
