I wouldn’t let my sons wear Crocs after learning how kids’ feet absorb chemicals. Feet have very dense sweat glands, so heat, sweat, friction, and prolonged skin contact can increase chemical migration. Studies show phthalates like DEHP can be absorbed through skin. Crocs use EVA foam, which may include petrochemical additives, and research found phthalates in foam shoes and their transfer into artificial sweat.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

I would never let my sons wear Crocs after finding this out, and honestly, I hope you won’t either. Why? Firstly - kids feet are incredibly absorbent. The soles contain one of the highest densities of sweat glands anywhere on the body, up to around 600 glands per square centimetre. That means heat, sweat, friction, water, and prolonged skin contact can all increase the migration of chemicals from materials into the skin. For example, studies have shown compounds like DEHP, a hormone-disrupting phthalate, can be absorbed directly through the skin. Crocs are made from EVA foam, a plastic polymer. These types of materials can also contain pigments, foaming agents, stabilisers, processing chemicals, softeners, adhesives, and surface coatings, most of them petrochemical-based and disruptive to our health. In fact, a Danish study tested foam shoes and plastic sandals found high levels of phthalates, even showing migration into artificial sweat… Now think about how kids actually wear these shoes: Barefoot. Sweating. In the sun. Often wet. That creates the ideal conditions for chemicals to leach from the material and interact with their developing biology. Personally, after looking into the research, I would not let my sons wear them anymore. What do you think?

2. Multitasking A University of London study found multitasking drops IQ to the level of an 8-year-old. Students who multitasked while studying had significantly lower GPAs. Your brain cannot process multiple inputs at once. Every phone check while working = child-level cognition.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Speaker 0 Stop multitasking. Here are three ways it's destroying your brain, including texting when you're watching TV. MRI scans of people who multitask show reduced brain density in the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain that controls emotional intelligence and attention. Multitasking burns up oxygen and glucose in the brain faster, making us tired faster. Focusing on more than one task means the left and right sides of the brain have to work independently, so the brain's focus is split and there’s a higher chance of mistakes.

4. Blasting Headphones The 60/60 rule: no more than 60% volume for 60 minutes. Exceeding this damages inner-ear hair cells. Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears—it impairs memory and brain processing. https://t.co/1SKH5AjtMx

Video Transcript AI Summary

Noise pollution can be detrimental to brain health, and its impact on hearing can have broader consequences beyond the ears. The speaker notes that hearing loss is actually one of the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, and explains why this connection exists. The core idea is that when input to the brain is reduced—such as through hearing loss—the brain is deprived of essential auditory information. This lack of input can lead to brain atrophy, a deterioration of brain tissue over time, as the neural networks that would normally be engaged by listening and processing sounds become under-stimulated. The speaker emphasizes the cascade that follows diminished auditory input. If people cannot hear what others are saying, the social dynamic changes: communication breaks down, and the individual may experience social withdrawal or misunderstandings. This reduced engagement contributes to a broader decline in cognitive stimulation, which is a risk factor for neurodegenerative processes. The speaker connects this to the broader idea that sensory deprivation can have structural and functional consequences for the brain, reinforcing the notion that maintaining adequate auditory input is important for maintaining brain health. Additionally, the speaker links hearing difficulty with psychological and perceptual changes. When someone struggles to hear, they may develop a high negativity bias, meaning a tendency to interpret ambiguous or unclear situations negatively. This framing can contribute to feelings of suspicion or paranoia, as the person “fills in the empty spaces” or gaps in conversation with negative assumptions. In other words, the absence of reliable auditory information can shape cognitive and emotional processing, leading to a more negative perception of social interactions. In summary, the speaker presents a chain of relationships: noise pollution and hearing loss reduce auditory input, which can cause brain atrophy and is identified as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The reduced ability to hear what others are saying can also lead to social and cognitive changes, including a high negativity bias that causes people to fill in gaps with negative interpretations, potentially increasing paranoia.

Speaker 0: Noise pollution. Bad for the brain. And if it hurts your hearing, hearing loss is actually one of the risk factors for Alzheimer's. Why is that? Because you're not getting input. Right. And if you're not getting appropriate input, your brain starts to atrophy. If you don't hear what other people are saying and you have a lot of ants, you have a high negativity bias, is you can actually begin to get a bit paranoid and fill in the empty spaces with negativity.

8. Barely Moving Exercise fuels your brain as much as your muscles. Physical activity raises BDNF, a protein that grows new neurons. Sedentary lifestyles = shrinking brains. Minimum: 150 minutes of movement weekly to protect cognition. https://t.co/GASLCJ4lyh

Video Transcript AI Summary

Speaker 0 describes the core reason exercise helps with depression as the increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), not solely endorphins. BDNF acts as a fertilizer for neurons, stimulating the growth of new connections and the creation of new brain cells. The brain naturally produces BDNF, but its levels drop due to stress, poor sleep, and aging. When BDNF levels fall too low, neurons shrink, especially in brain regions that regulate mood. The speaker notes that people with depression have BDNF levels about 30% lower than normal. Antidepressants are explained to work by increasing BDNF, not just by altering serotonin levels. This mechanism helps account for why antidepressants often take weeks to exert noticeable effects: they are rebuilding neural circuits through BDNF over time. Exercise is presented as a powerful way to influence BDNF, with the claim that exercise can double BDNF levels in just thirty minutes. The prescription given is thirty minutes of high-intensity exercise three times a week to maximize BDNF. For an even stronger effect, the speaker recommends combining exercise with intermittent fasting and omega-3 supplements. This combination is said to increase BDNF by up to 400% in some brain regions. In summary, the main points are that BDNF is a key factor in depression treatment, with levels diminished by stress, sleep issues, and aging; depression is associated with about a 30% reduction in BDNF; antidepressants work by increasing BDNF, explaining delayed onset; exercise can rapidly boost BDNF, and when paired with intermittent fasting and omega-3s, the BDNF increase can be substantially amplified in certain brain areas.

Blood sugar spikes are aging my body, affecting hormones, energy, and fat gain. I've discovered 10 habits to stabilize blood sugar and boost energy. Simple actions like a 10-minute walk after meals can cut glucose spikes significantly. Taking berberine before high-carb meals, starting with fiber, and avoiding liquid sugars are crucial. I also learned to eat carbs last, optimize breakfast, fix sleep, get morning sunlight, and breathe through my nose. These habits not only help with diabetes but also enhance overall well-being.

That's definitely a prescription I think everyone should do because the research is so strong on it, is that building in simply a ten minute walk around the block or a dance party in the kitchen, moving your muscles for ten minutes after a meal can drastically reduce your glucose response because you're just bringing all those channels to the membrane. You're taking off the glucose. You're using it. It's a whole different physiology than sitting on the couch after a meal. That's very high impact. It's high leverage if it's after a meal. So highly recommend that. And the levels data and clinical data has shown that out time and time again.

2. Take berberine before high-carb meals Berberine mimics metformin (a drug used to manage diabetes). It activates AMPK, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces post-meal glucose by up to 30%. Dosage: 500mg before meals. Cycle to avoid gut issues.

Video Transcript AI Summary

But the way it works is actually more similar to the way the prescription drug Metformin works rather than Ozempic. It works by improving your cells' sensitivity to insulin, which means your body can use glucose more efficiently. So if you struggle with a blood sugar imbalance or you have high fasting blood sugar, berberine can help to lower it. It can bring your testosterone down. If you struggle with excess body hair, it will help to reduce that as well. High blood pressure is also often caused by insulin resistance, so it can help to bring that down as well. So if you have excess fat to lose, berberine can help you to reduce that. Generally, five hundred milligrams is the recommended dose. You can either take that in the morning or before meals.

Speaker 0: Green has been referred to as Nature's Ozempic because of how effective it is for weight loss. But the way it works is actually more similar to the way the prescription drug Metformin works rather than Ozempic. And that's a good thing. It works by improving your cells' sensitivity to insulin, which means your body can use glucose more efficiently. So if you struggle with a blood sugar imbalance or you have high fasting blood sugar, berberine can help to lower it. And this improved insulin sensitivity also helps if you have PCOS. It helps reduce symptoms. It helps if you have an irregular period. It can bring your testosterone down. If you struggle with excess body hair, it will help to reduce that as well. High blood pressure is also often caused by insulin resistance, so it can help to bring that down as well. If you have low HDL cholesterol or high triglycerides, it helps to balance those out. And of course, all of this helps with weight loss. So if you have excess fat to lose, berberine can help you to reduce that. Generally, five hundred milligrams is the recommended dose. You can either take that in the morning or before meals.

3. Start meals with fiber Fiber slows down glucose absorption. It forms a gel-like barrier in your gut, blocking sugar from hitting your bloodstream too fast. Try: chia seeds, flax, or a green starter salad.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Can fiber lower our blood sugar levels? Well, let's come and take a look. So when we eat carbohydrates that don't have a lot of fiber, so I'm talking fruit juices, refined carbohydrates, that's really going to spike our insulin levels, like our blood glucose levels. And guess what? We go into fat storage mode. So we do not and cannot burn off that fat when our insulin levels are high. And this will mess up our leptin levels as well. Now ideally what we want to do and what fiber helps us to do is helps to keep our blood sugar stable, meaning that we can burn that fat off because we have that nice even steady road of our blood glucose levels and our insulin levels.

A study claims that eating foods in the right order can reduce your overall glucose spike by 73% and your insulin spike by 48%. The right order is veggies first, proteins and fats second, and starches and sugars last. For example, a meal with broccoli, salmon, pasta, avocado and chocolate should be consumed as broccoli first, then the salmon and the avocado, then the and then the chocolate. The scientific theory shows that you can still eat the meals you love while reducing the impact on glucose levels. It emphasizes sequence over total composition, suggesting the order influences post-meal glucose response.

Not getting quality sleep leads to higher levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), higher levels of glucose, higher levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, and lower levels of the fat-burning, satiety hormone leptin, which the speaker says are all bad and can lead to poor decisions and an unproductive day. Studies from the University of Chicago indicate sleeping less than seven hours is significantly linked to a higher likelihood of diabetes or developing diabetes. Other research shows that lack of sleep for a few days can produce blood sugar levels that mimic prediabetes. A PubMed study found that after one week of short sleep, blood sugar levels are disrupted so significantly that a doctor would classify you as pre diabetic. Additionally, when sleep quality is poor, the beta cells in the pancreas stop being sensitive to the signal of high glucose.

10. Breathe through your nose Mouth breathing elevates cortisol and spikes glucose. Nasal breathing during sleep, workouts, and rest keeps blood sugar steadier. Tape your mouth at night. Your pancreas will thank you.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The first is that nose breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This is your body's rest and digest mode which results in a decrease in blood pressure and a decrease in heart rate. Next, nose breathing activates nitric oxide. This molecule dilates blood vessels which improves blood flow and decreases blood pressure. Number three, increased oxygenation efficiency. In other words, breathing through your nose is a better way to get oxygen into your body. Increased oxygen efficiency decreases the stress on your heart. Number four, filtration and humidification. This decreases the stress on your lungs which consequently decreases the stress on your cardiovascular system.

ADHD is often misunderstood; it's not just about distraction but involves complex brain wiring with unique strengths. It affects individuals into adulthood, shifting from physical hyperactivity to mental restlessness. Those with ADHD thrive in stimulating environments and often experience intense emotional responses to rejection. Many are drawn to entrepreneurship, leveraging their risk-taking and big-picture thinking. Executive function challenges can hinder planning, but movement and structure can enhance focus and productivity. Simple foods, like Gala apples, can also aid in reducing inflammation.

Speaker 0: With ADHD, sometimes the problems that you had as a child can go away and you can show different problems as an adult as part of your original ADHD. Your symptoms can shift and look different between children and adults. First, let's look at hyperactivity. In children, this tends to look like fidgeting, not being able to sit through something like a meal or class. Adults tend to manifest hyperactivity more internally. You may feel internally restless, making you need to fidget or get up. Can you sit through a two hour movie without needing to take a break? You can also talk excessively. Fast, reckless driving can also be a hyperactive manifestation of ADHD. Next, impulsivity. When you're child, you tend to blurt out answers to things before someone's finished speaking and what you say could be completely unrelated. That behavior tones down a little in adults, but you still interrupt people, especially when you think you've got the gist of what they're saying. And impulsivity in adults tends to have more serious consequences like ending relationships on a whim or leaving a job without having a future plan. And attention can look similar between children and adults when it comes to paying attention to what people are saying or having trouble remembering what you read and being easily distracted. But here are two features that tend to be more of an issue with adults than children. The first is executive dysfunction. Executive dysfunction is not part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, but it is seen in people with ADHD and some other disorders. Executive dysfunction is trouble with organization, planning, time management, working memory. Another adult feature is emotional dysregulation. Some of the things that you can see with this are being quick to be upset, overreacting with raw unfiltered emotions, and being easily angered or resentful over trivial matters, or at least others would see them as trivial or inconsequential.

Speaker 0: What jobs would you say are good for those with ADHD? I'm Sam and I was diagnosed with ADHD combined with ADD at the age of 47 and here are my top four jobs that I would recommend. So the first one is emergency services because you've got that hit that excitement of when the alarm sounds you are off. So something like paramedic or police or fire something that's going to be different every single day to keep your brain engaged and to keep that excitement that us ADHDers need because something's going to be happening different every single day. You never know what you're to be walking into. Number two. What about a teacher? Because with a teaching role you can specialise in a subject that you are most excited about, that you are most interested in, so you can get that hyper focus that we need. You're not going to be sat down at a desk all day so you can wander around the classroom. You've got that social interaction, so you've got interaction with other teachers and also your pupils, And what is really good is you've got the downtime of the school holidays, so when we do experience that burnout, that overwhelming feeling, then we've got a week to two or six to recharge our batteries. Number three: Set up your own business. So this can be literally anything that you are passionate about. Something that sparks your enjoyment. You need that flexibility of working so when you are up you can work loads of hours and when you are down then you can maybe just take time out. The beauty of this is that you're going be doing it for you so you've got that interest knowing that you're building a future for you rather than somebody else. Number four a content creator because we can use our creative brains to help other people's businesses. So by creating content on whatever platform you want to do, you can make money by promoting their products and by doing so you can get paid. What job do you do? Have you been diagnosed with ADHD or do you think that you may have ADHD? Drop what you do in the comments and also hit the follow-up button. Does your job work for you or not?

4. Rejection Sensitivity (RSD) is real ADHDers often feel extreme pain from: • Criticism • Being ignored • Perceived failure It’s not “overreacting” – it’s how their brain processes emotional pain.

Video Transcript AI Summary

This balloon wrapped in duct tape represents a neurotypical person and this bit of cardboard with a nail attached to it represents a rejection. When the neurotypical person encounters a rejection, it hurts, but the neurotypical person doesn't explode. This balloon represents an ADHD person. It's bright and fun to be around, but because it was exposed to 10,000 more negative messages when it was a child and has always felt a bit different because of that, it's a lot more exposed and therefore more likely to react defensively. So when the ADHD person encounters the same rejection, it explodes. This often presents as rage, but it can present as an internalized overwhelming feeling of sadness. And the rejection doesn't have to be a big one. Sometimes the tiniest of rejections, like a friend saying they're too busy to see you, can have the same effect.

6. The real bottleneck is executive function Planning, prioritising and starting tasks can feel like climbing a mountain. It’s not laziness – it’s brain wiring that needs the right tools.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Working out first thing in the morning is a powerful way to set yourself up for success if you have ADHD. And here's why. Exercise not only helps burn off some of that hyperactive energy, if you have it, but it also gives your brain a boost by releasing feel good chemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These are the same neurotransmitters that stimulant medications target to help with focus and attention. That means when you start your day with a workout, you're essentially giving your brain a natural dose of the chemicals it cries for, making it easier to focus and stay on task. ADHD brains thrive on these neurotransmitters. So by working out first thing, you're priming yourself for a more productive day. It's like getting a head start on the mental clarity and focus you need before tackling anything else.

Six ways to master ADHD and appreciate it as a gift: 1) "write everything down. Any thought you have, write it down." I document life in notes to access memories. 2) "Do it immediately." If you're cooking, wash the dishes while cooking. It takes about two weeks or twenty one days to form a habit. 3) "schedule time to dick around." I wake at eight and "dick around on my phone from eight to nine," then run; plan ahead for events. 4) "Clean out your drawers at least once a month." Empty drawers, pair socks, discard worn items; repeat for underwear and kitchen drawers. 5) "your calendar is your best friend." Recurring birthdays; reminders for projects due; five days before due. 6) "Find a place where you put stuff and never break that habit." Keys in one place; dirty clothes in one place; never switch. Bonus: "when the mood strikes, act." Ride the flow to finish tasks. If you use them, if it works, let me know. If you have other tips, share them in the comments.

Speaker 0: I have ADHD, but I'm like really good at it. I have literally mastered having ADHD. Like, am the most organized person that I know. I'm the cleanest person that I know, but I wasn't always like this. I had to teach myself how to be like this. So I'm gonna share with you six ways that you can master having ADHD and actually appreciate it for the gift that it is because it is literally a gift. Number one, write everything down. Any thought that you have, write it down. You have an idea, write it down. One of the things about having ADHD that makes it really challenging is we often forget things. And I'm not just talking about, like, an idea for, like, something for work. I'm talking, like, if you're asked, hey, who's your celebrity crush? In that moment, you'll be like, oh my god. I know I have one, but who is it right now? Because you just can't access your memories because we have too many thoughts going on. So on my phone, in my notes app, I have a list called my celebrity crushes. I have another list called celebrities I wanna have dinner with. I have another list called crazy stories that have happened to me. I have another list called my favorite foods. Literally, I've documented my entire my entire life. In my notes, anything and everything about me that exists is documented. And then I go back and I reflect on it or I add to the list. And it's like I'm cataloging myself because I don't trust my brain to hold all the info because too much is going on up here. Everything gets written down. Everything. Number two, this one's gonna be hard because you're gonna have to build up to it. It's not gonna be easy at first. Do it immediately. Do it immediately. If you're cooking, wash the dishes while you're cooking. If you put a plate in the sink, wash it immediately. Something that we do with ADHD is we we let things pile up, and then what happens is you leave it, you leave it, and then when you go to do it, it's piled up so much. It's like, oh my god. It's so overwhelming. You don't wanna do it now. You have to decide to force yourself to do it for probably about two weeks or twenty one days because that's how long it takes to form a habit. And at first, it's hard, but then it gets easier. So now when I wake up in the morning, the first thing that I do is make my bed. And then when I take my laundry out, the first thing I do is fold it. Like I said, it's gonna be hard at first. But then once you're into it, you'll be like, oh my god. Why is my house so clean? Or oh my god, why why is everything just running smoothly? That's why. Number three, schedule time to dick around. There is no use in trying to fight yourself. You know yourself. I know yourself. You're gonna dick around. You're gonna wanna scroll on your phone. You need to schedule time for that. You're gonna do it anyway, so a lot for it. When I wake up in the morning, I wake up at eight every day. I dick around on my phone from eight to nine. Literally, it's my ritual. I wake up, I go get my coffee, and then I climb right back into my bed, and I dick around for an hour, a whole hour. That's my hour because I know that I'm gonna do that. And then I go for a run at nine, 09:30. I work out after. But like, I literally bake that into my schedule because I know I'm gonna do it. Or like when I have an event somewhere to be at a certain time, I can't start getting ready an hour before because, yeah, it takes me an hour to get ready. But I forgot to include the hour of dicking around. So I start getting ready, like, two, two and a half hours before because I know myself. I'm gonna dick around. So just start planning that in. Don't there's literally no point in trying to be like, oh, I won't dick around this time. Yes. You will. Yes. You will. Therefore, this will literally change your life. Clean out your drawers at least at least once a month. Okay? Once a month, go into your sock drawer. Take every single sock out of that drawer. Vacuum it if you wanna be crazy like me. And then go and pair up your socks, throw out the ones that are ugly or that have holes or that don't have a partner anymore, throw them away. And then you just have a door a drawer full of nice clean sockies, and then do it for your underwear drawer, and then do it for your shirt drawer, and then do it for the kitchen drawer full of nonsense. You know, the one with all, like, the lighters and the scratch tickets or whatever the heck, like, rubber bands and whatever the heck is in there. I don't have scratch tickets in there. I don't know why I said that. You know what I mean? Do it with that too. Throwing stuff out is the most cathartic thing in the entire world. You will feel calm knowing that it's cleaner now, and then there's more room for you to go buy more shit, more nonsense because you're gonna do it. Number five, your calendar is your best friend. Birthdays. All of your friends' birthdays, put it in your calendar right now and set it as recurring annually. Recurring annually. Nobody wants to forget somebody's birthday, but people have a lot of friends. Life gets busy. Right? Do you know how refreshing it is when I open my calendar and I'm like, oh, it's someone's birthday this week. Look at me being a good friend, but also look at me taking care of future me. Past me knew that future me would forget. I love that. But additionally, on my calendar, if you look at my calendar on, like, a Saturday, it'll be, like, nine to ten, dicking around. Ten to eleven, buy this person a birthday present. Eleven to twelve, go to the post office. I literally put my tasks in my calendar to remind myself and to give myself time. You know what you can also do? If you have a project due in two weeks, yeah, put the project due date. But then five days before, put something that says, hey, project's due in five days. And then be like, hey, work on that project today, and set yourself reminders, multiple reminders because you know, I know you, you know you, you're gonna forget. Number six, this one has changed my life. Find a place where you put stuff and never break that habit. So when you come home, you put your keys in one place and one place only, and you always put it there. When you take off your clothes, you put your dirty clothes in one place and only one place, and you never switch it up ever. Do you wanna know why? Because later, when you're rushing or when you're absent mindedly looking for something or when you're just not concentrating, you don't have to play the game of, oh, where would I have put it? If you do it at the same place every time, it's gonna start to become a subconscious habit. So you're never gonna look for your keys because they're always in the place that they are. Right? And the reason I know this works is because drunk Amanda follows it. I love I love this because drunk Amanda, that bitch is crazy. But in the morning, when I'm looking for my stuff, I'm like, it doesn't matter because it's in the same place because drunk Amanda has the same subconscious reflex to put it in the same place every single time. You get in trouble when you start changing it up. Now, alternatively, I don't know if this has happened to you, but it happens to me sometimes where I'll be in one of my cleaning modes, and I'll be like, oh, I've got a great new place to put this. Like, it's genius. But because I'm, like, in the zone I'm not really focusing, it's a great idea, but I don't, like, make sure that conscious me is, like, absorbing this. So the next time I look for something, I go to the old spot and I'm, oh my god. I know I found a a hot new spot for it, but I don't know where that is. So if you change up the spot, write it down. Be like, dear Amanda, you you moved where we store the the whatever. You know what I mean? Because that that's dangerous. And bonus tip, when the mood strikes, act. When you feel the feeling of being in the flow, when that happens, gotta act on it. For example, I had some work that I had to do for my accountant that I was putting off, and I was supposed to meet my friend for drinks the other day. But then for some reason, like, the the the universe was like, now's the time, and I got into flow, and I was doing it. And I wasn't just doing it. I was like banging it out. And I messaged my friend and I was like, I'm sorry. Like, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be late. I we have to push this back because I'm in the zone right now, and I'm doing the work that I didn't wanna do. It's happening right now. And if I if I don't do it now, who knows when the flow will come back? I gotta do it right You need if when when you're in the feeling of flow, ride it. Ride it. Ride that feeling. So those are my tips for how to master ADHD. I hope you find them helpful. If you use them, if it works, let me know. If you have other tips, share them in the comments. We gotta we gotta help each other out. Okay. Bye.

8. Structure creates freedom Lists, routines and visual reminders don’t restrict ADHD brains – they free them. Timers, alarms and breaking tasks into small chunks reduce overwhelm and build momentum.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Most ADHDers tend to prefer organizing things in buckets. In a bathroom closet example, many describe open storage with general themes for each bucket; within each bucket, it's a mess but sorted by categories. For to-do lists, they prefer buckets like categories such as home, work, personal, with lists that aren't hyper organized. The theory is a Goldilocks thing for us: another way to organize it could be to just have one giant long list, or if we're talking about the closet, to have one big bucket with everything mixed together. On physical items, we might not feel like putting red nail polish back with the other reds in the very specific order. When you know the way your brain prefers things to be organized, you can make systems around that. The link for the information is in my profile.

Speaker 0: Is that most ADHDers tend to prefer organizing things in a specific way. This is a trend, an observation, this is not a rule, but I thought I'd share it in case it brings anyone clarity on how they best like to organize things. When I say organizing things, I'm talking about, like, how you organize physical things, like if you were to organize a closet or a drawer, and then also how you organize, like, tasks and to do lists. And the way that I often see that most ADHDers prefer to organize things is in buckets. Here's what I mean. I'm bringing you to my bathroom closet to show you the physical example. A lot of people I work with describe preferring having, like, open storage with general themes for each bucket. Within each bucket, it's kind of a mess, but they're all sorted out by their categories. So it's organized enough. When it comes to other things like to do list, it's kind of the same bucket idea. A lot of ADHDers I talked to say they prefer to make their to do list in buckets like categories like this, home, work, personal, and within those lists, it's not hyper organized. My theory here is that it's kind of like a Goldilocks thing for us. Because another way to organize it could be to just have one giant long list, or if we're talking about the closet, to have one big bucket with everything mixed together. On the opposite end of the spectrum, it would be like something that's hyper organized. I know this is backwards, but, you know, making it a list so you know what you're doing each day, each time, and that doesn't always work for us because we can't always decide how we're gonna feel in the moment. And when we're low on executive dysfunction, we might not feel like doing the laundry at 12:00 on Tuesday. Or with the physical things, we might not feel like putting red nail polish we just used back with all of the other reds in the very specific order that we found them in. Why did I just make a video about all of this? Because if you know the way that your brain prefers things to be organized, then you can make systems based around that. And whether the bucket way of doing things feels good for you or something different, now hopefully this brought you a little bit of clarity on what's best for you. So feel free to share what you like in the comments. And if you want more ADHD information, follow along. That's what I talk about on here. And if you're looking for coaching, I do one on one and group coaching. The link for the information is in my profile.

If your body is insulin resistant, it won't burn fat effectively. Instead of fixating on macros, I focus on blood sugar habits to trigger fat loss. I've shared 11 strategies to reset insulin and enhance fat burning. These include walking after meals, eating dinner early, prioritizing fiber, taking Berberine, standing frequently, ensuring quality sleep, avoiding naked carbs, monitoring energy levels instead of calories, building muscle, sleeping in a cool room, and trying cold exposure. Each tip supports better insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.

If your body is insulin resistant, it won’t burn fat, it will store it. Most people obsess over macros… But fixing blood sugar habits is what actually triggers fat loss. Here are 11 cheat codes to reset insulin and reignite fat burning 🧵

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

1. Walk after every meal Just 10 minutes can cut glucose spikes by 22%. Your muscles soak up sugar before insulin even kicks in. Three short walks a day are better than one intense workout.

Video Transcript AI Summary

"I have heard that a short walk after a meal will reduce blood glucose in a way that's really dramatic." "Huge amount." "35% just taking a walk around the block after a meal." "That's definitely a prescription I think everyone should do because the research is so strong on it is that building in simply a ten minute walk around the block or a dance party in the kitchen, moving your muscles for ten minutes after a meal can drastically reduce your glucose response because you're just bringing all those channels to the membrane." "You're taking off the glucose." "You're using it." "It's whole different physiology than sitting on the couch after a meal." "That's very high impact." "It's high leverage if it's after a meal." "So highly recommend that." "And the levels data and clinical data has shown that out time and time again."

2. Eat dinner 3 hours before bed At night, your body is primed to store fat, not burn it. One study showed a 98% increase in fat burning by shifting dinner earlier. Late-night snacking is metabolic sabotage.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Let's say you go to bed at 10:00. Three hours before, at 07:00, you're done with eating. No more foods, no more snacks, no more anything. Anything that can be processed as nutrition, no more of that. Can you take supplements before bed? Yes. Can you take herbs before bed? Yes. Could you take herbal teas? We'll get to that in a moment. The answer would be yes after that 7PM. No calories, no real calories, no real fat. Why? We're trying to turn off our digestive system. Our energy gets woken back up and ramped up in order to break down food. When you put food in your body, there is a thermogenesis, a thermogenic based effect. Our body has to use energy. Now it burns calories. But not so when you're getting ready to go to bed. You want to be calming the body down before bed. You don't want to be working on digestion that could then not allow you to calm the body and get into a deep night's sleep.

3. Prioritise fibre before carbs Fibre slows digestion and reduces glucose spikes by up to 74%. Sequence matters: • Salad before rice. • Veggies before pasta. It’s not just what you eat, but when and how you eat it.

Video Transcript AI Summary

A study that you have in your book, if you eat the foods in the right order, you can reduce your overall glucose spike by 73% and your insulin spike by 48%. So the right order to eat your food in is veggies first, proteins and fats second, and starches and sugars last. So let's take an example. Let's say your meal contains broccoli, salmon, pasta, avocado, and chocolate. The right order for your glucose level is going to be broccoli first, then the salmon and the avocado, then the pasta, and then the chocolate. The scientific theory shows us that if we do this, we can still eat the meal that we love eating, we can still eat the foods we love eating, but we reduce the impact on our body and on our glucose levels.

The scientific theory shows us that if we do this, we can still eat the meal that we love eating, we can still eat the foods we love eating, but we reduce the impact on our body and on our glucose levels.

4. Take Berberine This is nature’s Ozempic. It improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood sugar, and curbs cravings. Studies show it works as well as Metformin. Plant-based. Proven. Powerful.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Supplements are sometimes just as powerful as drugs. And if you cannot convince your doctor to get metformin, there is an alternative. Mhmm. It's a plant molecule called berberine from the berber plant. And in clinical trials, if you take it at two grams a day, it does lower blood glucose similar to metformin, and that you can buy online. That's where I began. After we did our interview, I went to my doctor and I said we're getting on metformin. And she said, no. We're not. Not yet. And so that's where I began.

5. Stand up every 30 minutes Long sitting makes you insulin resistant, even if you exercise. Standing activates muscles that pull glucose from your blood. Your chair might be your worst metabolic enemy.

Video Transcript AI Summary

If you have type two diabetes, you've got to stop sitting. Research have found that longer sitting time is associated with higher risk for all cause mortality and heart disease mortality in people who have diabetes. Usually when I work, I have a standing desk, so I can stand all the time. Some of my clients even get treadmill under their desks, so that they can walk and work at the same time. If you don't work from home, or if your job does not allow it, even small things like parking further so that you can walk more can help with this. If you'd like to learn more on how you can reverse type two diabetes and reverse insulin resistance, make sure you watch my free reversing diabetes training.

6. Prioritise sleep Just one poor night can raise insulin resistance by 30% the next day. That means stronger cravings, more fat storage, and reduced fat burning. Sleep is not a luxury. It is hormonal regulation. Pro tip: Take Magnesium Glycinate 30–60 minutes before bed.

Video Transcript AI Summary

An individual who is sleep deprived in just seven days will test for insulin resistance. So your journey from being healthy to potentially type two diabetic can be that rapid with sleep deprivation, and there's a direct correlation between the two. I was looking after 14 metabolic clinics at one stage pre COVID, and there is not one person that I consulted that was overweight or suffered from obesity that said to me, Moody, I sleep well. Every single one of them that had metabolic syndrome, had problems with weight gain, had health issues, had cholesterol issues, had type two diabetes, every single one of them had sleep problems.

7. No naked carbs Never eat carbs alone. Pair them with protein or fat to slow absorption. Apple with almond butter is better than apple alone. Smart combos keep blood sugar stable.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Naked carbs are any carbohydrate rich food that's eaten in isolation. For example, any tropical fruit or a rice cake. These foods are almost entirely carbohydrates with very little fat and protein. You can see rice cakes have 13 grams of carbs, zero grams of fat, and one gram of protein. But when you start with naked carbs and add protein and fat, this slows down digestion and the blood sugar response is a lot lower, which means a better blood sugar control, better energy, mood, and fewer cravings. This approach emphasizes macronutrient balance to influence digestion and post-meal glucose. The comparison suggests that adding protein and fat to naked carbs can modulate how quickly carbohydrates are processed and how blood sugar responds.

8. Don’t count calories. Count crashes If you are foggy, hungry, or tired an hour after eating, your insulin is off. Stable energy = stable glucose = fat burning mode. Track how you feel, not just the numbers.

Video Transcript AI Summary

You just ate, but you're already starving. And if you're always hungry, insulin resistant might be the thing that's tricking your brain. Here's one of the things that are happening. High insulin actually blocks a hormone called leptin, and that helps you feel full. But because it's being blocked by the high levels of insulin, now you're constantly getting the message to eat and feel hungry. So when you thought it was your problem, it's actually a hormone issue in your brain. But there's an easy fix. Get rid of the sugars. And by doing this, you add more protein and fats to your meal, like fish, chicken, turkey, fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts. And don't forget those veggies because they decrease inflammation. This slows your digestion and will keep you full longer and decrease insulin resistance that's blocking leptin that doesn't let you feel full.

That basically means that the more muscle that you have, the more glucose that you're gonna burn at any given point in time. Multiple studies have shown that increased muscle mass increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake. So how do you increase muscle mass? You have to apply some form of resistance against those muscles. And the resistance that we all have available at our homes is gravity. Try doing three sets of 20 squats three to four times a week to build the biggest muscle in your body or your legs. Just like this. You got this.

10. Sleep in a cold room Drop bedroom temp to about 65°F. Cold sleep activates brown fat, your natural calorie-burning furnace. It boosts insulin sensitivity while you rest.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Studies show if you sleep in a room that's between sixty and sixty seven degrees there was a significant reduction in weight, a significant boost in your immunity, a significant reduction in your blood sugar, and a significant increase of the natural production of your melatonin for healthy sleep cycles and detoxification and balancing and coordinating your circadian rhythms with your biological clocks. Studies also show if you sleep in a room that's 81 degrees, you actually lose some of your brown fat, but if you sleep in a room that's 67 degrees and they did this for eight weeks, they doubled the amount of brown fat in their body, is the fat that actually kind of gobbles up calories and heats you up and warms you up and it's a very important fat to have particularly as we age and we tend to get colder. Sleep in a cool room, the colder the better, wear pajamas, wear a hat if you have to.

reSee.it AI Summary

I shared insights on the potential presence of parasites in our bodies and their warning signs. Persistent fatigue, unexplained rashes, weight loss, chronic bloating, teeth grinding, itching in private areas, and anxiety can all indicate parasitic issues. I outlined steps to combat them, starting with clearing parasites safely using specific products, followed by natural anti-parasitics like wormwood and garlic, and strengthening defenses through fermented foods and vitamins. The aim is to manage parasites for better health.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

You probably already have parasites living inside you. Most people have no idea. Here are 7 warning signs your body may be fighting harmful parasites and what to do about it:

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

1. Persistent fatigue If you wake up tired, struggle with energy throughout the day, and cannot explain it, parasites could be a factor. Some parasites reduce nutrient absorption, while others trigger ongoing immune activity. Both can leave you feeling depleted.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

2. Unexplained rashes Some parasites can trigger skin reactions. When parasites enter the bloodstream or tissues, your immune system may release histamines and inflammatory chemicals. This can result in itching, redness, or irritation, even if you have no history of skin problems.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

3. Weight loss without trying If you are losing weight without changing your diet or activity level, parasites could be involved. Some live in your small intestine, consuming nutrients before your body can absorb them. Over time, this may contribute to nutrient deficiencies.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

4. Chronic bloating Some parasites disrupt the gut environment, causing inflammation, gas production, and fluid retention. This can lead to persistent abdominal swelling or discomfort after meals, often mistaken for food intolerance.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

5. Teeth grinding at night Teeth grinding (bruxism) is often linked to stress, but parasitic infections can also play a role. They may irritate the nervous system and affect muscle control during sleep, especially if other symptoms are present.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

6. Itching in private areas Anal or genital itching, particularly at night, can indicate certain worm infections. Parasites in the perianal area can trigger localised irritation.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

7. Anxiety or brain fog The gut and brain are closely connected through multiple signalling pathways. Parasitic imbalances in the gut microbiome can alter immune responses and neurotransmitter activity. This may contribute to anxiety, cognitive difficulties, or mental fatigue.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Parasites are skilled at survival. Some can hide from the immune system, mimic harmless proteins, or go dormant for years until immunity weakens. So how do you fight back?

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Step 1: Clear Parasites Safely Most people don’t realise how common parasites are or how hard they are to clear without the right steps. Here’s what I recommend to friends, clients & family: Weeks 1–2: • Pure Body: 4 drops, 3x/day • Pure Body Extra: 4 sprays, 3x/day This clears the heavy metals parasites use to hide. Weeks 3–4: • Add Parashield: 10 drops, 2x/day Keep using the first two. This combo makes your gut a no-go zone for parasites.

Para-Shield | Effective Herbal Gut Cleanse Shield your gut with Para-Shield, a powerful yet gentle herbal cleanse to help create an inhospitable environment for unwanted organisms in the body. ayuswellness.thegoodinside.com

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Step 2: Use natural anti-parasitics Effective options include: • Wormwood extract • Clove • Black walnut extract • Garlic These compounds disrupt parasite life cycles and create an environment that is unfavourable for their survival.

Video Transcript AI Summary

What you're really trying to do is get rid of the excess of these parasites to the point where your immune system can then take hold and take over and regulate it so there's not this overwhelming infection. I don't think there's going to ever be a point where there's zero parasites in your body. If your immune system is strong, you're totally fine. The two remedies called wormwood extract and clove are really good at killing parasitic eggs. You usually see directions on the label. Just follow what those directions are. And I recommend taking these remedies with a meal. The next really important remedy would be black walnut extract. The next thing, and I'm going to recommend to have this in your food, is two or three garlic cloves a day. Garlic, hands down, is one of the most antiparasitic remedies in existence.

The two remedies called wormwood extract and clove are really good at killing parasitic eggs. You don't need to take a lot of this. You usually see directions on the label. Just follow what those directions are. And I recommend taking these remedies with a meal. I mean, you're not creating a toxic effect in your body. You're just taking enough of these to make it very uncomfortable for these microbes to exist because all the remedies I'm telling you are antiparasitic. The next really important remedy would be black walnut extract. I don't know if you've ever seen a black walnut. We have several trees. In the hull, it is so bitter and it has this incredible strong odor that is very, very antiparasitic. The next thing, and I'm going to recommend to have this in your food, is two or three garlic cloves a day. Garlic, hands down, is one of the most antiparasitic remedies in existence.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Other helpful options: • Oregano oil • Pumpkin seeds, which contain compounds that may impair certain parasites

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Step 3: Strengthen your defences • Eat fermented foods daily, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, or kefir • Optimise vitamin D3 levels (get tested before high dosing) • Include magnesium and zinc for immune support You may never eliminate all parasites from your body, which is normal. The goal is to keep them under control so your immune system can maintain your health.

Mouth breathing is more harmful than it seems, affecting sleep, energy, and even facial structure. It leads to poor sleep quality, increased stress and anxiety, hormone imbalances, dental issues, and a higher risk of illness. The nose filters and regulates air, while mouth breathing allows unfiltered air into the lungs. To address this, I recommend practicing nasal breathing, using mouth tape at night, clearing nasal congestion, and maintaining proper tongue posture. Correcting mouth breathing can significantly enhance overall health and well-being.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

Mouth breathing is secretly damaging your health. It affects your: • Sleep • Energy • Even your facial structure Here is what causes mouth breathing and how to fix it:

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

What is mouth breathing? Mouth breathing means breathing through your mouth instead of your nose. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. It is linked to a host of health problems that most people do not realise are connected.

Video Transcript AI Summary

I read the book Breath by James Nestor. Every single chapter in that book talks about how mouth breathing is like the coming of Satan. All of these negative effects. Is mouth breathing, like, actually killing us? You look at the experiment he did where he bunged his nose up with two earplugs for ten days. He looked really bad at the end of those ten days. Within the first day or so, his blood pressure had gone up x amount of points. His sleep was impacted. And then I think he said, you know, something like 30% of the American population are breathing like this all the time. When he took those earplugs out of his nose, within a matter of hours, his blood pressure started to come back down again and started to feel more himself.

One way to really get good at that is to take a little bit of medical tape and to tape your mouth shut before going to sleep. You heard me right, put some medical tape over your mouth and force yourself to nose breathe during sleep. It also prevents snoring in most cases, really offset sleep apnea. Your sinuses actually can dilate. They're malleable and they can become wider. You're not gonna get giant nostrils. Don't worry about it. Your airways within your your skull will dilate and will allow you to breathe more easily through your nose. But your sleep will improve and your daytime feelings of wakefulness and focus will improve. Your cardiovascular health will improve and on and on and on.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

2. Higher stress and anxiety Your nose filters and regulates the air you breathe. Mouth breathing bypasses that. It increases cortisol, your stress hormone, and reduces oxygen delivery to the brain. The result is: • More stress • Increased anxiety • Brain fog

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

3. Hormone imbalances Mouth breathing affects the nervous system and raises cortisol levels. Chronically high cortisol suppresses testosterone in men and disrupts hormone balance in women. Low testosterone can lead to low energy, low libido, and poor recovery.

@AyusWellness - Zib Atkins

4. Dental and facial problems Mouth breathing dries the mouth and promotes bacterial overgrowth. It can cause: • Crooked teeth • Cavities and bad breath • Narrowed palate and receding jawline This is especially harmful for children as it can impact facial development.
