The second paragraph delves into the significance of omega-3 fatty acids for individuals with ADHD who seek a consistent flow state. Research indicates that a deficiency in omega-3 can lead to difficulties in maintaining focus and productivity. The speaker suggests that combining omega-3 supplementation with fasting or a ketogenic diet can enhance the flow state by promoting ketosis, where the body uses ketones derived from fat instead of glucose for energy.

play00:00

over the past 10 years helping both

play00:01

adults and entrepreneurs with ADHD and

play00:03

also for my own ADHD these are five

play00:05

supplements that I have found that

play00:07

really help with Flow State and having

play00:08

that Clarity focused mind the very first

play00:10

supplement I experienced this back when

play00:12

I was in college and I struggled

play00:15

significantly trying to pay attention in

play00:17

class and keeping up with the professor

play00:19

and writing down notes I just couldn't

play00:20

find myself to have it in that flow

play00:22

State and I remember that I tried out

play00:25

this particular supplement that made all

play00:27

the difference where not only could I

play00:29

remember

play00:30

the information I was writing down but I

play00:32

can keep up with the professor and and

play00:33

it put me in this complete Flow State

play00:35

instead of being super stressed about

play00:36

writing down notes and what I'm

play00:38

referring to is something that actually

play00:39

increases blood flow to your brain and

play00:42

because some of the biggest problems

play00:44

that people have when they aren't in

play00:45

that flow state has to do with their

play00:47

prefrontal cortex that's basically the

play00:48

front of part of the brain that deals

play00:50

with our working memory deals with our

play00:52

task initiation and a lot of things that

play00:55

require for us to be focused and get in

play00:57

that flow State and so the couple

play00:59

supplements that I'm referring to is goo

play01:01

baloba and bopa Maneri but also even

play01:05

Rosemary all three of those do increase

play01:08

blood flow to the brain and so one of my

play01:10

favorite combos that I use that have all

play01:12

these and a few other things that I

play01:13

think are really beneficial is brain

play01:15

regain now brain regain has both these

play01:18

it also has a few of things that I think

play01:19

are really beneficial as well it has go

play01:22

toola which does help with anxiety so it

play01:24

can help you get in that flow state but

play01:26

it also has fossil tillering which can

play01:28

help with the memory recall that you

play01:29

would need need when you're in that flow

play01:30

State the second supplement I find that

play01:33

this can be so beneficial to put you in

play01:34

the Flow State especially if you're a

play01:36

deficient in this particular type of

play01:38

nutrient and that is omega-3 fatty acids

play01:41

now there's been plenty of research on

play01:42

this that people who are deficient in

play01:44

omega-3 fatty acids will have issues of

play01:47

being in that flow State and have that

play01:49

consistent focus and productivity

play01:50

throughout the day and also be able to

play01:52

handle stressful situations to when it

play01:54

is needed and required of you when those

play01:57

stressful moments happen that you can

play01:58

put yourself in that flow State and

play02:00

where I do find that this can be

play02:02

significantly beneficial is when you put

play02:04

yourself in a fasted State putting

play02:06

yourself in ketosis and this is why a

play02:08

lot of people who find when they're on

play02:09

the keto diet or doing fasting that if

play02:11

they do it long enough that they find

play02:13

that they are more in that flow State

play02:15

and I find this true for myself my

play02:17

patients and clients when my body is in

play02:18

a fasted State because what happen is

play02:20

where your body tends to switch its fuel

play02:22

source from instead of using sugar as

play02:24

fuel and glucose we'll switch it over to

play02:25

using ketones to be able to use that and

play02:27

as better form of fuel is using fat is

play02:29

Fuel and I like actually supplementing

play02:32

omega-3 fatty acids when I'm in that

play02:34

state especially if I'm only trying to

play02:35

benefit being in the ketosis State

play02:36

versus just other benefits that come

play02:38

with fasting on top of that omega-3

play02:39

fatty acids are also really helpful for

play02:41

inflammation it helps with combating

play02:44

with oxidative stress so oxidative

play02:45

stress to the brain so it's also a great

play02:46

protectant the third supplement has a

play02:49

lot to do with not only helping with the

play02:50

production of glutamate and also

play02:52

dopamine which is absolutely required to

play02:55

help yourself to be in that flow state

play02:57

it also protects the dopamine receptors

play03:01

so it helps build and modulate and

play03:02

regulate a lot of different dopamine

play03:04

throughout this process and the

play03:05

supplement I'm referring to is an acetyl

play03:08

lyine also known as NAC and you will

play03:10

find NAC in a lot of different brain

play03:13

supplements and there's a good reason

play03:15

why is because it does help a lot with

play03:16

the production of dopamine and

play03:18

protecting the dopamine receptors and

play03:20

that's what's required if you want to

play03:21

have that consistent Flow State

play03:22

throughout the day if you're struggling

play03:24

trying to get in that flow State and

play03:25

being focused and you might have things

play03:27

like ADHD then you should download my

play03:28

all day Focus energy guide in the

play03:30

description below now another very

play03:32

important thing to really have that flow

play03:34

State throughout the day is reducing

play03:36

your stress but putting yourself in a

play03:38

more relaxed state but on top of that is

play03:40

not only being more relaxed but also be

play03:43

able to eliminate distractions

play03:46

especially unnecessary distractions to

play03:48

organize your thought process when it

play03:50

comes to helping yourself being in the

play03:52

Flow State and this still goes back to

play03:54

your prefrontal cortex that deals with

play03:56

working memory and to organize that

play03:57

information so you can have that Flow

play04:00

State and one of the best supplements

play04:01

that can do this is aling it has been

play04:03

proven to increase Alpha brain waves now

play04:06

what are alpha brain waves Alpha brain

play04:08

waves is what is puts us in that

play04:10

consistent relaxed and Flow State as

play04:13

well as be able to get rid of all the

play04:15

distraction so you want to have more

play04:17

Alpha Waves consistent throughout the

play04:19

day and eleine helps increase that has

play04:21

been shown in research and I have found

play04:22

it not only for myself but also for my

play04:24

patients and clients to to have that to

play04:26

not only be relaxed but also be able to

play04:28

be more productive now now the fifth one

play04:30

is required of something else that also

play04:32

is important to be in the Flow State and

play04:35

that is that feel-good opioid of beta

play04:37

endorphins that gets us to feel more

play04:40

happy more relaxed and it can help us

play04:42

put us more into that flow State and a

play04:44

great supplement that can help increase

play04:46

that is Rola Rosa now not only can riola

play04:49

Rosa increase the beta endorphins but it

play04:52

also does help improve Norine phrine

play04:55

serotonin levels and also dopamine so

play04:58

it's a really great one that I do love

play05:00

using the other great thing that it also

play05:02

can do is if you have two high levels of

play05:05

cortisol which can put us in more

play05:07

stressful State and not relaxed and

play05:09

putting us in that flow state is that

play05:11

you can also use riola to decrease

play05:14

cortisol to keep you in that relaxed and

play05:16

Flow State now supplements are great

play05:18

they can definitely help us get to that

play05:20

flow state but in order to have that

play05:22

consistency throughout your entire life
