The more I research it, the more I'm convinced that #ADHD is an inflammation-based condition. Am I missing something? Anything studies or theories against this concept?

Can you improve your #ADHD symptoms by developing your cerebellum? The science seems to indicate that might just be the case. I wrote about one of the best ways to do this (with exercise) here: medium.com/fit-different/…

🐸 “Eat the frog first” is mostly terrible advice for #ADHD. 🥱 Burning our dopamine reserves on a hard task leaves us spent for the rest of the morning/day. 🏋️ One exception: if the 'frog' is exercise, it actually BOOSTS dopamine levels, giving you MORE motivation.

🙄 Definition of a cosmic joke: #ADHD makes good sleep harder to get, and bad sleep makes ADHD symptoms worse. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

#ADHD brains need passion to stay engaged. Traditional exercise often bores us. We need to think outside the box. The weirder the better. 🌴 Climb those trees 💃 Dance in the woods 🎢 Roll down a hill (Maybe?!) Whatever you find fun - that's the right exercise to do!

Losing weight is tough. Losing weight with #ADHD is like playing the game on hard mode. BUT there is some hope... I put together a list of 15 strategies/tips that helped me lose weight AND keep it off. Check it out here: medium.com/fit-different/…

Coordination training isn’t just for athletes—it’s brain training for #ADHD too! Research shows that improving coordination can boost motor control AND cognitive function. Fewer bruises and better focus? Sign me up!

Hey #ADHD peeps - have you got any specific questions/challenges re: fitness and ADHD that you're struggling with? Ping them across here and I'll do my best to answer them for you, or at least point you in the right direction :)

#ADHD got you feeling stuck? Stand up. Sometimes, all it takes is that first move to build momentum. The inverse is also extremely important. On a roll getting things done? Don't sit down!

#ADHD brains only sees two timeframes: NOW and NOT NOW. That’s why long-term fitness goals often feel impossible. Focus on short-term rewards, choose an activity you like doing, and find joy in the workout itself! 🏋️‍♀️

#ADHD folks might just need more sleep than the average person. Try aiming for 9-10 hours and see how you feel.

Struggling to fall asleep? It might be another lovely #ADHD symptom. There's a big correlation between ADHD and a delayed circadian rhythm, making it nearly impossible to wind down at a “normal” time. Those 3:54am nights staring at the alarm clock make more sense now.

A little hack I've found to help me exercise more with #ADHD (this comes after first finding an activity you LOVE doing)

I went all Sherlock Holmes and did some investigating on the benefits of Protein for #ADHD - what I uncovered was surprising... medium.com/fit-different/…

Balance-based activities can LITERALLY grow your cerebellum 🤯 For those of us with #ADHD and therefore a potentially 4% smaller cerebellum, this could be a game changer. Ready to find your balance? 🧘‍♀️

Dance like no one’s watching! 💃 Dance isn’t just fun—it’s a potent brain exercise for #ADHD. Studies show it improves motor, social, AND cognitive skills. Best get me some dancing shoes!

Weird trick that works for me... #ADHD brains love a challenge, right? So if you want to lose 12kg, aim for 18kg. Want to run a 5k? Sign up for a 10k. Just bold enough to be tough but still achievable. I don't know why, but this motivates me more than a 'normal' goal.

Got #ADHD? Struggling with attention? (I mean, yeah, duh). 🏋️‍♂️ Resistance training might be your secret weapon. One study conducted on kids with ADHD found it reduced inattention levels by 5% 🤯
