    SPECIAL EPISODE: The ADHD Nutrition Connection No One Talks About with Amy Jones

    Is your ADHD really about focus… or could your brain be asking for something completely different? For years, ADHD has been misunderstood as simply a problem with attention. But what if the real issue isn’t a lack of focus at all? What if nutrition, blood sugar, hormones, and emotional regulation are all connected in ways we’ve overlooked? In this episode of the Feeling and Healing Podcast, Danielle Z sits down with certified nutrition practitioner and certified ADHD coach Amy Jones to explore the powerful relationship between ADHD, nutrition, mental health, and the nervous system. Amy shares her deeply personal journey from years of misdiagnoses to finally receiving an ADHD diagnosis at 45, and explains how understanding the brain-body connection transformed both her life and career. Together, they discuss why traditional approaches to ADHD often miss the bigger picture, how nutrition can support emotional regulation, why executive function makes healthy eating more challenging than most people realize, and what parents, educators, and adults with ADHD can do to better support neurodivergent brains. Whether you’re living with ADHD, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the connection between mental health and nutrition, this conversation is packed with practical insights and compassionate perspectives.
