ADHD can intensify emotions, which can especially impact relationships. In this second part of our series with Shanna Pearson, we move beyond common advice to explore the real, everyday challenges that people with ADHD experience: why medication might not always feel fully effective, what it means to “focus on the wrong things,” and how tools like mood scheduling can help you work with your brain rather than against it. We also discuss sugar crashes (sometimes called the “ADHD sugar hangover”), clarify common myths about supplements, and share practical strategies that really support well-being—like prioritizing protein, sleep, and giving yourself grace to be imperfect.
