5 Natural Alternatives to ADHD Medication (..that work) 

😅 this is me every day!

Never said better

I feel attacked

try keeping a notebook just don't do what I did and loose the notebook

Realest comment I’ve ever read! 🤣

Thank you, I lost interest on min 2.

@@gj8822 meet too... so I put the video on speed then I went through the main points 😅

Thank you, I was losing interest fast lol

Thanks. That’s a lot of bs

Yea while on aderrall these 5 things and much more are actually possible.

It also helped me to make their home a common place I use daily so I see it and remember to take it all. Might help, might not. I just wont remember if I dont see them.

@@andi8717if not seeing the pills results in you forgetting to take them, then they aren’t working and aren’t worth taking lol… you’ve just convinced yourself they’re doing something. It’s a placebo effect

Which fish oil brand do you use?

Nordic Natural omega 3, the same bottle they put Vitamin D3, as well as Vitamin B6 which is great. AlsoI take magnesium glycinate which helps alot aswell.

it will be so helpful if you can list out more, your one comment is more helpful than tons of videos I've tried watched and books I've tried to read

Please, try one minute breathing or meditation, you ill find lots in book, app, utube... For one week only once aday, not more. Second week 2 minute maditation or breathing only once à day. Third week 2 minute twice à day. 4 th week 3 minute per session and you decide how many times à day. In the Firth week you may have come up yourself with shg. It can be always the same meditation or breathing exercice or different ones. It is totally up to you. There is not 1 meditator the same and there is not 1 whose thoughts never wander. It is not a price competion, nor a race. The training takes time, but most importantly I guess it takes your time and some commitment to go into the unknown ( that is what you think) that is what you...think, feel, hide, bodysensations, love...etc. All new. A way "in" is also whether yoga nidra sessions ( see youtube) or 1minute to 6+ hour sleep méditations. It makes going to sleep easier and if using always the same method, you will get valuable rest. I like to hear Deepak Choprah,but there are millions of others, whatever works for you is fine. Some people even tape there own voice reading a meditation and it works for them. No obligation, just try outs. John Kabbat Zinn could be an interesting intro. He got all this into hospitals and comes from a mindfull place of taking care of the most possible people and selfcare autonomy. Let's take care of each other! Seeking imput on pescatarian/ vegan/ Fodmap individual's experience with protein powder and side effects of other supplements. Do always get ur vit. D right if not in sunny country. First check allowed amount, dangerous if you get too much.

@@BE-bs8oeAGREED. 4/4/6 method!!!

I'm glad it was able to help. Thank you for letting me know:)! My new video will ve up in the next couple of days!

I wish I never started medication

@@stevesheffield6758 why do you say?

Can you update on your progress?

@@Itsare30 because it’s poison

What are your symptoms?

👌Thank u!

So your adhd is worse now?

How are you doing now?

@@aprilhassell1747 I am adrift. Unfocused. Relying on routines.

Have you been diagnosed? There are so many different types of adhd, add, asd, aspergers. Good luck. You will get there

@@sandycandy6396 i have been back in 3rd grade. I was also not good at speaking English & was mostly too shy to talk. I have been getting diagnosed with adhd again in middle school where I took stronger drugs & just made me feel numb. I think the meds made me like this

@@Torpito0 yes I the meds do have this effect sadly 😞 still good luck ❤️

@@Torpito0 yea the news definitely have this effect. I am currently going through the same, hopefully I find a solution to my adhd!

@@Lazymath007_ wish u luck. I hope me and u both find a solution

I think I’m going to have to try this. I’m in the process of getting diagnosed for adhd and I’m on keto already. It’s just difficult in social settings to eat only meat lol. But I love the fattier foods on keto and carnivore

I got very ill when trying to be a vegan , what is really great is rhodiola(natural)weird its not wellknown

Exactly

Meat depends it is not rule ...i think it is related to blood . But fish .. it changes tremendously . Mushrooms also

Thank you for sharing that! I myself found success with Low Carb diet, I feel more calm and more stable. I still use Concerta, but small dose 18-36mg. Coffee is hit or miss for me, sometimes it makes hyper and jumpy without focus, :)

Add brains need more proteins and things like avocados. We also need spinach and to keep off sugars and flour. I think our gut bacteria is also very sensitive. Red meat is your friend. As are high amounts of vegetables. And to a lesser extent a variety of fruit and nuts. And consistent exercise, cardio particularly. Three miles a day around. I know what I should do in theory but that requires a whole lot of discipline. The problem I’m trying to solve lol

I’ve heard about these benefits from the carnivore diet from many people, and certainly with adhd’ers. So many health conditions have been dramatically improved from the brain, to the body to the hormones etc.

Thanks for the info!

I have ADHD and when I went on Keto a few years back the same thing happened, but I completely stopped sleeping. So I had this intense calm that was WONDERFUL, but I completely stopped sleeping so I stopped Keto. That calm was everything and I think about it from time to time.

prune

Fr i literally fast forwarded through itt!!!

How has everything worked?

On stimulants?

Hiiii .... google.... Eric Berg.... kind regards Australia

What’s LTO?

LTO3 contains a few natural ingredients like L-theanine, Sementis plus other herbs and has a calming effect on at least my head. It was primarily used in Canada, but it is now being sold all over the globe. The longer I use it the more stable my head becomes. Look for lto3 and you find what you need.

Thank you. Im glad I was able to shed some light!

You should probably look up things that don't help when you think you're helping with your friend with ADHD. These solutions may help some people, but it is not a substitute for conventional traetment, and its not a magic solution . meds only work 80% of the time, but if they do work then don't mess with it. its irresponsible, and someone with ADAH who may be susceptible may suffer for it. leave it to their doctor.

True!

It calms you because it helps focus yourself

I couldn't agree more. Thanks Stewart!

Thanks! Agreed, it takes some will-power to sit down and get into meditation..especially consecutively. Thats why I recommend making it a routine I.e. it would feel weird to not do it. I personally do mine in the morning, after I wake up and have exercised

Not any more than coffee. Black tea is problematic.

yeah i was thinking the same thing ...

Coffe is natural , pills aren’t . Coffe you can see it yourself or grow it , pills you can’t .

Maybe because it's considered natural and not lab made?

I feel sleepy after taking matcha

@@varunbedi9979 drink less

Same!!!!!! I feel so good after I drink matcha!

Try starting you exercise and breathing techniques (like Wim Hof) in the bed. Put on a workout video too.

That sounds excruciating! 😢 i hope you find some motivation somewhere. I have found it in doing something for someone else. You have to stop thinking about your disability, it’s SO difficult. I Can be paralyzed for so long and waste so much time. You know, you’ve given me an idea. I hope I can focus long enough to get my idea on paper. And I hope to find you again, to let you know how reading your comment here tonight, at 3:40 am, turned out. 🤞

NICE!🙏

Agreed, quite a good combo :)

Yeah I wish I would've gone natural from the start. I tried 4 meds and got terrible side effects from all four. I like how the doctors look at you crazy when you say that DHA works just as well as the drugs.

@@dctrbrass I tried the meds and i didnt even last 2 months. I refused to live my life with those side effects.

Can i ask what mg you started out with??

@Moo hey~ i'm not taking anything you metioned. I am now on other meds and the only side effect i have is sweating which is the best side effext ever haha the problem is, 50mg of vyvanse ain't doing anything :/ , gonna tell the doc and we'll see.

I would continue to educate yourself on adhd, which will help you help him. Maybe try to find a naturopath type doctor in your area, that specializes in adhd treatment. Also, omega 3 and especially high epa are incredibly beneficial to adhd’ers. You want a good 1000 mg of epa, so look for omega 3 with lots of epa.

I've experienced those symptoms and I'm not taking any medication for ADHD, even though I was diagnosed with it. Instead I'm taking Ashwagandha for my anxiety and mood support. It has helped me some.

I would also look into brain supplements, specifically for memory, focus and concentration. I'm actually on the lookout for this. On top of that, I've heard from others with ADHD recommending exercise, meditation and behavioral therapy. Sorry I can't give you more information. I'm still learning how to cope with ADHD myself.

Always try and treat him like a husband - I’ve been treated like a child in numerous relationships and there’s nothing quicker to dilute any trust

Thanks for this info!

Also, it’s only been shown to be effective in doses of about 100-200 mg, and tea only has about 20 mg per serving

@@adhdvision where was the link for the L-thenanin you recommended? 🙏

30min-1hr of physical activity a day is beneficial. Start off at smaller times, just work on getting into a consistent schedule then increase the time spent working out. A variety of cardio along with targeting areas(such as legs, upper body, core or a full bodyworkout which does a bit of everything) RU-vid vids are a good place to start/follow. Good luck

Good to hear they are helping :)

Matcha ?

All caffeinated teas also containe L-theanine in varying amounts, particularily matcha green tea. My problem with this part of the video is he's just telling you to replace one drug with another. Just because one of them is natural doesn't mean it isn't a drug, over half of pharma is based on natural extracts, including dangerous drugs like benzodiazepines.

Took it for two days and experienced almost every side effect listed. Never again.

I've just stopped taking that due to horrible side effects (racing heart, palpitations and major anxiety among other things). I was told it's ok to just stop, but I've actually had horrible withdrawal for the past two weeks. It did make my mind quieter but it was much more subtle than stimulant meds like methylphenidate. I haven't been able to tolerate any of the meds so I'm trying to cope without now.

You're welcome!

It's mostly missinformation due to its unaccuracy. Diet is all over the place, but he does name some of the correct nutrients people should be getting and they don't. Coffee is pretty much replacing one drug with another. And meditation is generic advice that never helps, though there are some meditation practices that do help, and mindfulness isn't one. The only accurate part is when he talks about moderate intensity cardio.

I take coffee in the mornings and green tea during the day

How’s it going? Did negative side effects go away? Currently deciding which one to trial, might go with vyvanse first

If i can try

Check Brainmd.com Neurolink suppliment Also Dr Amen 7 types of Adhd you tube video. You might find it helpful

Have you tried the intense exercise thing yet? I'm going to be starting that today

@@dogsitterlife5023 i've been looking into that! The only problem i find is i already do some p hardcore dancing, and im also trying to gain weight, so i'll have to adjust to the amount of calories i might lose n start eating more lol do tell how it works for you tho! I've heard some pretty good things abt it :)

🙏🙌

take care bro

The meds are addictive,I was on meds for 3 years and made me a different person..most of you're issues are actually side effects from not taking it ..they work ..but I didn't like who I was when I DIDN'T take them look up some of the long term effects off some of those pills ..I've been off of mine for a week and some of the withdraws are pretty intense

Looks a bit similar to me, I would search for measures to increase Dopamin in your System, no sweets and processed carbs/foods - cold showers - avoid social media, make something productive - and so on. Look also to reactivate your Dopaminreceptors. L- Tyrosine, B6, B13, Mg I would supplement. Uridin and or NAC to restore your receptors should also work. Good luck.
