In this episode of Authentically ADHD, Carmen explores how exercise is not just beneficial but essential for managing ADHD. She dives into the science behind why movement boosts focus, motivation, and emotional regulation, breaking down its powerful effects on neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.
Carmen shares insights on how exercise strengthens executive functions—helping with impulse control, working memory, and decision-making—while also acting as a natural stress reliever by reducing cortisol and increasing emotional resilience.
She also gets personal, sharing how movement has transformed her ADHD experience and offering practical, ADHD-friendly tips to help listeners integrate exercise into their daily routines in a way that feels sustainable and enjoyable.
If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, focus, or emotional overwhelm, this episode will inspire you to harness the power of movement as a game-changing tool for your ADHD brain!
