The Sunday Upgrade – A smarter, science-backed start to the week

This week’s highlights

Good Sunday amigos,
Focus is your currency.
But if you’ve got ADHD (diagnosed or not), your brain can feel like a browser with 23 tabs open—while one is playing music and you can’t figure out which one.
Three years ago, I was prescribed ADHD medication.
Within weeks, I had tunnel vision—and anxiety levels through the roof.
It felt like I could either be focused or calm, but never both.
That’s when I knew I needed a different strategy.
What started as a personal experiment has now become a cornerstone protocol I share with clients.
And today, I’m giving you the full stack.
Before we dive in—if you know someone who values sharper thinking, smarter health, and a competitive edge, share this email now.

ADHD brain? Here’s what works
When I was first diagnosed with ADHD, my doctor handed me a prescription.
Sure, it worked—until it didn’t. I felt more anxious than productive.
So I went back to first principles: what does my biology need, not just my symptoms?

✔ Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) → Brain cell communication, reduced impulsivity
✔ Vitamin D3 → Dopamine regulation, focus, mood balance
✔ Magnesium Glycinate → Calms the nervous system, better sleep
✔ B Complex (Bioactive forms) → Essential for neurotransmitter synthesis
✔ L-Theanine + Caffeine Combo → Smooth energy without jitters
✔ Brahmi + Ginkgo → Cognitive clarity + memory support
✔ Zinc + Iron (Test first!) → Deficiency = lower dopamine & focus

The sleep stack for a “racing mind”
You can take every nootropic on the market… but if you’re sleep-deprived, you’re driving with flat tires.
Here’s how to reset your natural sleep rhythm — without melatonin gummies and TikTok hacks:

A quick recap from last week
Just 20 minutes of aerobic movement triggers measurable increases in executive function and mood scores.
15–30 minute walk post-lunch.
Resistance training 2–3x/week.
Use movement as a midday reset
