Have you ever noticed changes in your focus, mood, sleep, or energy after eating certain foods? This talk introduces histamine, a natural chemical in the body that plays a role in brain function and immune responses. We’ll explore how histamine, food sensitivities, and the gut may be connected to some experiences commonly associated with ADHD, why certain foods may affect people differently, and what current research tells us about these possible connections. You’ll leave with a broader understanding of the factors that may influence your day-to-day experience with ADHD and practical questions to consider when exploring your own health.
