The Good Sleep Starter Kit

Sleep well,

Here’s your free 4-week plan—The Good Sleep Starter Kit:

There’s no blood test to diagnose ADHD, but when these labs are abnormal, they could be making symptoms MUCH worse!

1. Complete Thyroid Panel: thyroid isn’t the cause of ADHD, but it could be making symptoms much worse. Abnormal thyroid levels can cause fatigue, brain fog, poor focus, anxiety, insomnia, and more!

2. Iron levels: low iron is correlated with ADHD. It can make symptoms worse, and may increase likelihood of side effects with medication.

3. Vitamin D levels: low vitamin D can impact cognition and is important to correct when it’s deficient

4. Copper and zinc levels: high copper can cause abnormal dopamine levels and increase anxiety. Zinc deficiency can also worsen ADHD symptoms

👉 Book a call with me @drlauragouge if you’ve never had these labs run 🫶

Struggle with nighttime eating & ADHD? This post i

Struggle with nighttime eating & ADHD? This post is for you ⁣
⁣
Sometimes eating more at night is perfectly normal. But, if it feels out of control or like where your nutrition derails every night, something might be off. ⁣
⁣
Reasons for nighttime eating may include:⁣
⁣
1) Undereating during the day (often we don’t even realize it’s happening)⁣
⁣
2) Nutrition Imbalances, such as not eating enough protein, fiber, fat or carbohydrates. Sometimes deficiencies in micronutrients can increase the drive to keep eating too!⁣
⁣
3) Food is a source of stimulation because eating releases dopamine (it feels GOOD!), so we want to keep doing it.⁣
⁣
4) Using food to numb emotions. Emotional overwhelm is common for people with ADHD, and eating is one way to cope and reduce the intensity of those feelings.⁣
⁣
The good news is that there are solutions if nighttime eating feels out of control. ⁣

Gut healing 👇⁣ ⁣ I honestly think the term

Gut healing 👇⁣
⁣
I honestly think the term “heal your gut” is often really misleading because gut health isn’t static—it’s constantly evolving. ⁣

Here’s my story 💖
⁣
At the time of my first test I was having classic IBS (bloat, pain, food sensitivities) as well as fatigue, brain fog, and ADHD. ⁣
⁣
Over the last two years all of that has gone away.

I’m human so sometimes I’m tired or my stomach doesn’t feel great, but it’s not a daily thing. ⁣
⁣
I did do one round of anti microbial herbs (not mentioned above) and I don’t get into it because that was specific to me. It also isn’t what made the biggest difference. ⁣
⁣
What moved the needle for me:⁣
• whole food diet⁣
• SOLUBLE FIBER 🫘 ⁣
• motility support ⁣
• plant diversity ⁣
• avoiding sugar and alcohol ⁣
⁣
The test I did was through Genova. I have no affiliation with them, they just run my favorite gut test! IMO it’s superior to the GI map which I have also used in my practice.⁣

NEURODIVERGENCE & PMDD 👇

The connection is strong and often overlooked.

PMDD can be debilitating and my patients tend to want more options than just birth control & meds.

We don’t know exactly what causes PMDD but it seems to be due to increased sensitivity to hormone changes.

That doesn’t explain why some cycles are horrible and some are really mild.

One factor that could be at play is neuroinflammation, or inflammation of the brain and nervous system.

Neuroinflammation is correlated with ADHD, ASD, and PMDD.

Let me know what questions you have about PMDD in the comments & I can make part 2 👇
