Your ADHD brain is plastic, and by means of neuro-plasticity, it can be trained to improve.

We live in a world where you are constantly bombarded with distractions and notifications, therefore our brains will reorganise themselves in response to daily experiences, which in most cases, is being easily distracted by external forces. It’s no wonder that ADHD cases in adults have doubled in the past decade.

The dopamine therapy bases its hypothesis upon dopaminergic dysregulation in areas of thee brain that should work in synchrony to aid focus and attention. Smartphones siphon our dopamine system and could therefore be contributing to our inability to concentrate.

Actionable Protocols

More Hobbies – Less Scrolling
Learning something new will force the brain to concentrate thus, reinforcing the focus pattern. Scrolling through Instagram is a major attention grabber, you know that feeling of wanting to reach for your phone when you’re in the middle of something? Limit your social media time to rewire that automatic process.

Attentional Staring
Focusing on one object for 1 minute without blinking for as long as possible has been shown to improve focus.

Meditation
Meditation trains the default-mode network to become more synchronised and thus reduce mind wandering.

Omega-2 Fatty Acids
EPA of 100mg per day

Sleep
Sleep is essential in modulating attention even without having ADHD.

Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods
Studies show that eating processes foods and refined sugars increases symptoms of ADHD by means of neurodegeneration.

Caffeine + L-Theanine
Caffeine in conjunction with L-Theanine seems to improve sustained attention and overall cognitive performance.

Other Supplements
Zinc Sulphate & Magnesium Bisglycinate

ADHD is a major complex topic and there are many factors and layers to improving symptoms, these are just a few that I have highlighted. But the take-home message is that just because you have an ADHD brain, it doesn’t mean that you need to succumb to its attributes forever. We have seen in studies that we can rewire the ADHD brain to improve. Your brain can change, at any age, due to daily experience.
