We’ve talked about ADHD from a psychological perspective, and we’ve talked about trauma and emotional dysregulation. But in this episode, we’re exploring a different root cause: nutrition. Julia Ross—psychotherapist, pioneer of amino acid therapy, and author of The Mood Cure—joins us to explain how protein, neurotransmitters, and even your blood sugar may be behind your mood, focus, and energy struggles.
You’ll learn:
- The five key amino acids that regulate mood, attention, and cravings
- The real reason so many moms feel out of control with food
- The difference between ADHD and hyperactivity—and what amino acid might help with each
- Why Julia doesn’t recommend a specific supplement brand—and how you can start exploring this on your own
