## Nutrition and ADHD
- The [[ADHD]] brain’s hunt for [[Dopamine|dopamine]] will naturally lead it to all kinds of food and drink.
- For example:
- [[Caffeine]] boosts dopamine levels.[^1]
- Simple carbs break down rapidly into sugar, which stimulates dopamine release.[^1]
- People with ADHD are likely to engage with dysregulated eating.[^1]
