Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, iACTcenter Associate Coach
Hi, I'm Leah
1/3
Realizing how ADHD had impacted my self-esteem, well-being, and relationships, a formal diagnosis became a gateway to self-acceptance and self-love. It has helped me become more aware of my thoughts and behaviors, including my eating patterns and habits.
Having spent the majority of my life undiagnosed, I know what it's like to feel different and overwhelmed with everyday tasks.
2/3
Finding myself constantly diving into new hobbies, battling the impulse to interrupt during conversations, and feeling overwhelmed by noisy environments. Tackling big projects is a struggle, keeping a routine feels like a challenge, and managing my emotions is no easy feat.
My symptoms persisted into adulthood, prompting me to question, "Why am I different?"
Diagnosed with combined-type ADHD as an adult, I realized that throughout my childhood and teenage years, I was masking my ADHD symptoms to conform to societal expectations. As a child, I appeared as the talkative girl who loved to stay active, resisted bedtime at all costs, excelled in creative activities, and engaged in debates with adults – seeming mature beyond my years.
3/3
And this is my hope for every individual with ADHD – to confidently show up for yourself and to embrace the best and healthiest version of you.
Learning to manage my energy and stress levels, mastering nutrient-packed cooking in the kitchen, recognizing trigger foods, prioritizing brain-boosting vitamins and minerals, and shifting my perspective on movement and food as a neurodivergent woman, has significantly enhanced my quality of life. It's strengthened my relationships and boosted my self-confidence.
Healing begins with being heard, which means your unique background, ADHD symptoms, experiences, challenges, and goals are at the heart of this journey. I embrace diversity, fostering a welcoming environment where individuals of all backgrounds and neurodivergences feel valued, respected, and empowered on their path to optimal health and well-being.
