A health coach with ADHD offers the ultimate wellness guide for neurodivergent women, full of easy-to-implement and adaptable advice to help you thrive
ADHD makes it hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but an unhealthy lifestyle can make ADHD more difficult to live with. Health and fitness coach Lisa Dee experienced this problem firsthand when the executive dysfunction, exhaustion, and burnout from undiagnosed ADHD wreaked havoc on her physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
After receiving a diagnosis at age thirty-one, Dee realized that she needed to consider how her ADHD brain and body operated if she wanted to feel her best. In Healthy Happy ADHD, she shares the mindset shifts and strategies that form her foundation for healthy living and helped alleviate her ADHD challenges. Drawing from her lived experience and research, she shows you how to revamp your routines, build new habits, and bring ease to your busy brain by learning to
● ditch the restrictive rules and shame-based ideas about what exercise, healthy eating, and resting "should" look like
● eat well with ADHD Easy Meals and understand how food affects your energy, mood, and brain health
● prepare for the impacts of hormonal fluctuations and health conditions such as PMDD on your ADHD symptoms
● reconnect with yourself and practice self-compassion through reflection and mindfulness exercises
With practical advice tailored for women and presented in an ADHD-friendly format, this book empowers you to create a lifestyle that works with your ADHD.
