Yes, everyone should be doing, especially now with social media and cheap dopamine everywhere, but especially people with ADHD, it's something that should be done.

And then, yeah, I also, I was studying drug addiction and on days I wouldn't take the Adderall, I was depressed because my brain became dependent on the dopamine from the medication.

Right, exactly.

And it wasn't good.

So I didn't want to be dependent on this for the rest of my life.

I actually used my knowledge of just how stimulants work.

And I was like, all right, well, if I'm going to stop taking this, I am going to supplement with caffeine for a little bit.

So I actually kind of transitioned using caffeine.

And at first it was like, yeah.

And I really discovered also that

green tea just unlocked a whole new level for me that coffee never did.

Coffee never really made me feel any sort of way.

And I know a lot of people have ADHD that feel similarly.

Coffee just doesn't do it.

I would drink so many shots of espresso, take stimulants, take Adderall, all together.

Yeah, I know.

No wonder why I was like so stressed, so anxious, so easily triggered.

Wow.

Yeah.

And I had like skin issues, I had rashes, I had so many different things going on because of all of that.
