Episode # 016: We all know how good we feel when we work and eat right, but getting a solid routine can be tricky! In this episode of the podcast, I get real about the challenges of managing ADHD and depression, especially when it comes to food and exercise. Rather than the usual "eat better and exercise more" advice, I offer a fun, experimental approach that makes healthy living enjoyable and sustainable. With a science-backed discussion, personal stories, and actionable experiments, you'll jog away with a whole new mindset on how to approach your diet and movement.

Three Key Takeaways:

1. The Science of Exercise for ADHD & Depression – Discover how movement boosts feel-good chemicals in your brain and why it’s considered "miracle grow" for your mind. Dr. John Ratey explains how exercise helps repair and grow brain cells, making it essential for mental health and attention.

2. A Playful, Creative Approach to Food – Forget rigid diet plans. I share how experimenting with colorful, mood-boosting foods can not only help you physically but also shift your relationship with food. Learn how I lost 30 pounds and dramatically improved my health by adding variety rather than cutting things out.

3. Reimagining Exercise as Play – Instead of forcing yourself into a strict workout routine, I encourage you to find movement that feels fun. From dancing around your living room to biking in nature, discover how making exercise enjoyable can keep you motivated and consistent.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be inspired to start your own food and movement experiments, all while learning how to build trust with yourself and create lasting change in your life.
