They lied to you.

ADHD is not a disorder, it’s a different way the brain processes information.

You can control it naturally, without taking pills to “fix it.''

Here’s the step-by-step guide (science-based): 🧵 Image
ADHD, previously called ADD, was first identified as early as 1904.

The important thing to understand:

ADHD doesn’t reflect intelligence.

Attention struggles don’t mean someone is less smart, but they can be a challenge in everyday life…
Current estimates show that around 18-12% of children and adults have ADHD.

Unfortunately, half of them don’t see improvements without proper treatment.

But there’s hope for those who are struggling… Image
Here’s the science behind ADHD:

1. People with ADHD have trouble with attention and controlling impulses.

2. They often have poor memory, especially when it comes to working memory.

3. Their brains struggle to filter out distractions, which can affect everyday tasks and organizationImage
One cause of ADHD struggles?

Dopamine levels.

Dopamine helps control attention and focus.

In people with ADHD, dopamine is low, causing the brain’s focus circuits to malfunction.

So, what can you do?
The solution is simple…

Want to improve ADHD symptoms?

Follow these 4 steps: Image
1. Dopamine Regulation

1. Exercise regularly to boost dopamine, which improves focus and attention.

2. Cardio and strength training are great for brain function.

+ Sleep well, as it’s crucial for dopamine regulation and brain focus. Image
2. Mindfulness and Focus

1. Limit screen time, especially on smartphones, to improve focus. Constant notifications weaken attention.

2. Use memory games, puzzles, or focus apps to train your brain and boost attention. Image
3. Nutrition for Brain Health

1. Eat Omega-3 rich foods like fish or flax seeds to improve brain health and focus.

2. Maintain a balanced diet with low sugar to prevent energy crashes and improve concentration.
Bonus:

Here are 13 foods that will help with ADHD symptoms:

1.Salmon
2. Eggs
3. Spinach
4. Blueberries
5. Nuts
6. Chia seeds
7. Pumpkin seeds
8. Dark chocolate
9. Greek yogurt
10. Avocados
11. Beans
12. Sweet potatoes
13. Whole grains Image
4. Managing Impulsivity

1. Practice mindful breathing or meditation to control impulsive behavior and emotions.

2. Set up structured routines and use task management methods to stay organized and reduce distractions. Image
By combining these strategies, you can start managing ADHD symptoms effectively without relying on medication.

That’s how you turn your ADHD into a superpower. Image

Your brain is fried.

You forget 90% of what you study because you don’t understand memory.

I found Andrew Huberman’s 3-step protocol to rewire your brain and absorb everything you read.

Here’s how to use it: 🧵 Image
Image
The story starts with neuroplasticity.

Your brain’s ability to change and adapt isn’t an event, it’s a process.

Huberman says learning happens in two key steps:

1. Active Focus
2. Deep Rest

Here’s how they work together… Image
Phase 1: Active Focus

Learning triggers dopamine and acetylcholine, marking brain areas tied to the skill.

Example: Learning French flags areas for speech and comprehension.

But here’s the catch: The brain rewires later, not while studying. Image

Meet William James Sidis.

The person with the highest IQ ever recorded (between 250-300).

Much higher than Einstein, Tesla, and Musk.

But behind his high IQ is a tragic background that destroyed his potential.

Here’s the full story of this lost genius: 🧵 Image
The story starts in 1898.

William James Sidis was born to brilliant Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. His father, Boris Sidis, was a renowned psychologist.

His mother, Sarah Sidis, was a rare female medical student.

But it wasn’t until his childhood that the true brilliance began to show…
For the next decade, William’s intellect blew everyone away:

• By 18 months, he could read the New York Times
• By age 8, he knew 8 languages
• He joined Harvard University at age 11!!

His parents gave him intense early education, treating him like an adult from a young age.

But things didn’t go as planned for the young prodigy...Image

The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.

That’s what Matthew Walker, the best sleep scientist, supports.

Here are his 6 best tips to optimize sleep and avoid serious health risks.

First, the worst side effects of sleep deprivation:

Research shows that people who don’t get enough sleep have higher rates of:

1. Cancer
2. Obesity
3. Diabetes

Matthew Walker says it, not me:
2. The less you sleep, the higher your risk of injury.

Why? Because your balance suffers.

• Stability muscles can’t perform at 100% without enough sleep.

But here’s the surprising part…
