play00:00

if you're someone that's been suffering

play00:01

with executive function disorder you've

play00:03

probably been looking at different

play00:04

random supplements to see what could

play00:06

possibly work for you well these are

play00:07

five that have worked with my patients

play00:09

and clients that have ADHD or memory

play00:11

issues or porcus issues if you're new to

play00:13

this channel I'm Dr l Grant I have ADHD

play00:15

and dyslexia and I've been able to

play00:17

manage my own ADHD in a more natural way

play00:19

and now I help adults across all over

play00:21

the world to help with their ADHD and

play00:23

their memory and focus issues in a more

play00:25

natural way so the very first supplement

play00:28

to help with executive function disorder

play00:30

there is several different symptoms that

play00:32

I'm going to break down because

play00:34

executive function disorder has several

play00:36

different symptoms that we need to look

play00:37

at that needs to be addressed

play00:38

differently with each type of supplement

play00:41

so the very first one is if you've been

play00:43

experiencing having trouble with

play00:44

managing your emotions whether that is

play00:46

dealing with having high anxiety stress

play00:49

depression and you just can't regulate

play00:51

those emotions of yours the supplement

play00:53

that I particularly look at and that I

play00:55

found that's been very helpful for my

play00:56

patients and clients that deal with this

play00:58

is first off is looking at Min checks

play01:01

now Min checks is from Standard Process

play01:03

that's not a sponsored video but the

play01:05

reason why I like Min checks and why

play01:07

it's been so effective is it helps with

play01:08

both depression as well as with people

play01:11

who deal with high anxiety and the big

play01:14

benefit of this one is because it is

play01:16

that it deals with a lot of the

play01:17

different neurological imbalances that

play01:19

can happen when someone has these

play01:20

irregular emotions now additional one

play01:22

that I do like on top of this I want to

play01:24

mention is tension ease by vital

play01:26

nutrients is because this one can be so

play01:28

beneficial for people who deal with high

play01:30

anxiety so I will typically prescribe

play01:32

this to my patients when they can't

play01:34

manage their anxiety in particular

play01:36

moments so I'll have them take it in a

play01:38

period of time probably about three

play01:39

months and then use it as a maintenance

play01:41

dose if needed now the second supplement

play01:43

goes along with this symptom with your

play01:45

executive dysfunction if you have

play01:46

trouble with listening paying attention

play01:48

or even just focusing when you're in

play01:51

class or at work is that we need to be

play01:52

looking more in depth to see really

play01:54

what's going on here and typically when

play01:56

I see this as a particular symptom it

play01:58

has a lot to do with really what that a

play02:00

function disorder is is that typically

play02:02

they see that the prefrontal cortex of

play02:04

the brain tends to be a little B more

play02:05

deficient not functioning at its optimal

play02:07

levels so when this is the case things

play02:09

that have helped especially for me in

play02:11

the past in college when I had a hard

play02:13

time paying attention or listening or

play02:15

focusing is some of my favorite ones

play02:16

that I also use with my patients is Gino

play02:19

baloba or bopa Maneri both of those are

play02:22

known to increase blood flow to the

play02:24

brain and has been known to really

play02:26

benefit helping with focus and paying

play02:28

attention even with learning now the

play02:30

third one has to do with an executive

play02:32

function symptoms such as dealing with

play02:34

short-term memory issues so if you've

play02:36

suffered with not knowing where your

play02:38

keys are or forgetting where you put

play02:40

something or you go somewhere and you

play02:42

forget why you're going to that place

play02:44

this is probably for you you probably

play02:46

are definitely needing to look into

play02:47

something that could be possible

play02:48

deficiency and I see this as a problem

play02:50

with a lot of my adult EDC patients that

play02:52

are 40 and above where they tend to have

play02:55

deficiencies in things like colding as

play02:58

well as searing both of those those are

play03:00

critical for helping with memory when we

play03:03

see those starting to decline memory

play03:05

issues start to creep up so the two

play03:07

supplements I like to recommend for this

play03:09

is fosil till searing and fosil till

play03:10

cooline both can be really beneficial if

play03:12

you are deficient in it and especially

play03:14

if you are 40 or above and having these

play03:16

issues now supplements can be great it's

play03:18

a great stepping stone but it takes a

play03:19

lot more than just taking random

play03:21

supplements you also need to look at

play03:23

certain Labs that could be a possible

play03:24

issue certain different foods that could

play03:26

be an issue other things that could

play03:28

possibly be contributing to this so you

play03:29

should download My Free adg Health guide

play03:31

in the description below that goes over

play03:33

all of that the fourth supplement has to

play03:35

go along with if you're dealing with

play03:37

issues with starting something being

play03:39

motivated and driven planning organizing

play03:42

or just initiating tasks if this is the

play03:45

issue I think of a certain pathway that

play03:48

can be contributing to this in fact a

play03:50

couple that could be contributing to

play03:51

this and the main one is dopamine so

play03:55

dopamine is the thing that does get us

play03:58

to be motivated driven moving forward

play04:00

initiating tasks planning stuff like

play04:02

that so if that is the issue then a

play04:05

great one to implement is addressing the

play04:08

specific dopamine pathway but not just

play04:10

dopamine but every different amuno acid

play04:12

and every type of neurotransmitter that

play04:14

contributes to dopamine and so one of my

play04:16

favorite ones to use I've been currently

play04:18

using with my patients and clients is

play04:20

dopatone active now the reason why I

play04:22

like this one a lot is because there's a

play04:24

few things in here that address

play04:26

typically the issues of these typical

play04:29

symptoms and that's because dopatone has

play04:32

phen ethyl alamine which is the very

play04:34

beginning of the whole dopamine pathway

play04:37

it's an excitatory neurotransmitter

play04:39

which does ignite the whole dopamine

play04:41

process that can help with motivation

play04:43

Drive nine tasks it also has DL phenol

play04:46

alanine which is an amino acid that

play04:47

helps build tyrosine dopamine elopa

play04:51

those things are very critical for

play04:52

helping improve dopamine levels it also

play04:54

has mukuna Pines which mukuna Pines has

play04:57

a good percentage of lopa in it so

play05:00

therefore elopa directly helps build and

play05:02

modulate dopamine so that is definitely

play05:05

one that I've seen very beneficial for

play05:06

my patients and clients is dopatone

play05:09

active now the fifth area and the

play05:10

supplement that I would recommend is if

play05:12

you have symptoms with your executive

play05:14

dysfunction disorder of learning new

play05:17

things especially processing new

play05:19

information and having difficult time

play05:20

doing that now back in college I

play05:22

definitely struggled in this area a lot

play05:24

and one of the things that I found so

play05:26

beneficial for me and also very

play05:28

beneficial to my patients and clients

play05:30

using something like Rosemary now I

play05:31

found it more beneficial when I actually

play05:33

inhaled it more so using an essential

play05:35

oil and I would use a diffuser right

play05:36

next to my desk where I would try to

play05:38

learn stuff because Rosemary also

play05:41

increases blood flow to the brain and

play05:43

has been found in research that it helps

play05:44

retain information and learning

play05:46

information for long-term use so you

play05:48

don't just like remember it for one

play05:50

second and then forget it the next day

play05:52

so I always use that while I would be

play05:54

studying and then when it came to exam

play05:56

day that could be another reason why

play05:58

you're also not retaining information

play06:00

because of anxiety setting in so another

play06:03

one I'd like to use is lavender lavender

play06:05

is great for calming you down so I use a

play06:07

lavender scent oil as well so those two

play06:09

can be really great for if you're

play06:10

struggling with processing and learning

play06:12

information and keeping it for long-term

play06:15

use but like I was saying before

play06:16

supplements are really only take us to

play06:19

One Step it's like the first initial

play06:21

step to get things helping with our

play06:22

executive function disorder our memory

play06:24

issues our Focus issues and so really

play06:27

what it requires is diving in deeper to

play06:29

understand really what is the root of

play06:30

the problem so you should watch this

play06:32

video next where I go over my three-step

play06:34

system of how to eliminate your ADC

play06:36

symptoms naturally so watch this video

play06:38
