The tip of your fingers are connected to the brain through the nervous system.

So the way that you might want to eat or not eat or forget to eat or eat too much is a nervous system regulation response.

And that's going to be, to a certain extent, determined by your neurotype, whether you're just ADHD, autistic, or a combination of both.

Well, my mission in this space is for people not to feel that they are broken, that there's something wrong with them.

So I think we resonate because of that.

It's not a matter of trying to fix your ADHD or to fix your autism or to heal it or to hack it.

It's a matter of actually understanding that your rhythms in the body, just as the earth has got a night and a day,

and the rivers flow the right way and the sea has a tide that epson flows your body has got different rhythms and and that is determined by biology and our biology is going to be influenced as well by our neurotypes so our neurotype is going to determine our own rhythm and we were just talking before recording that sometimes

if you're chatting to somebody who might happen to be neurodivergent as well, they might leave you on read for like a couple of days and you think, okay, what's going on?

It's fine.

And then you can like pick up the conversation and then you have like a burst of energy and you exchange a hundred messages and, you know, reels and gifs and everything else.

And you have a laugh and then you have a little break again.

And that's your rhythm, right?

And it's going to be different to somebody else's.

It's going to be certainly different to somebody who is neurotypical.

And accepting that and working with your rhythm as opposed to feel shame because your rhythm is different is very important for me.

Just putting that message out there that you're not broken.

Your rhythm is slightly different.

And if you learn to work with it, there's going to be amazing things that you can achieve in life.

Yeah, for me, I think one of the most important things that I've been working on recently is on the nutrition front, we tend to think about foods that are good or bad for something.
