One of the important things is making sure her sleep patterns, her circadian rhythm was in place. So I worked with her to establish a good circadian rhythm, a good circadian pattern. I gave her sleep techniques and rituals, things to do to support circadian rhythm and lock it down all day long. Then we use some supplements that can be very helpful. One of them is called Bacopa Mineri.

We're not exactly sure how this herb works in the brain, but we know some of the effects is to balance out the dopamine. And we think it does that by actually reducing some of the oxidative stress and inflammation and also increasing the number of neuronal connections and how quickly they can communicate. And so that seems to have an impact on dopamine levels and can balance that out.

And people feel the effect of, hey, I'm calmer. I feel better. And with her particular CMT, she also benefits from another supplement called SAMe. SAMe is a methylation supporting compound. And in people with her particular CMT gene, it can be very mood stabilizing. And it doesn't work for everybody, but in her case, she found the right dose, and the CME was very helpful in stabilizing her mood.

Helping her clear that dopamine, helping her balance it out. Again, just, you know, love to make this point is it wasn't just me giving her the Bacopa and the SAMe. It really helped. But that was also in conjunction with her going to sleep at the same time, waking up in the morning at the same time, being more aware of her need for exercise. exercise was something she didn't do.

And that is the first prescription I write for any of my ADHD patients. If you look at the literature and exercise impact on ADHD, it is the best drug for the ADHD brain. So we improved those things, and that really balanced out her dopamine. We also did some mitochondrial testing. It showed up on her OATS test, but we do a very specific test called the mitoswap that actually
