ADHD, Stimulants, and Brain Fuel

Your ADHD medication is actually hacking your metabolism to burn fat. Stimulants like

Adderall trigger a fight-or-flight response that forces your fat cells to break down energy

and your liver to dump glucose. But the real breakthrough is that ADHD might be caused by a starving

brain. Studies show the prefrontal cortex in people with ADHD struggles to use

sugar for energy, leading to focus issues. This explains why cutting sugar or

going keto can be a game changer. When you run on ketones, you bypass that

broken energy pathway and finally give your brain the steady fuel it needs to focus.
