15 years ago I was convinced I had ADHD.
I couldn’t concentrate, I was spacey.
I had this constant urge to move, to run, to be somewhere else.
It made sense — it checked all the boxes.
But then I started noticing something.
It wasn’t all the time.
Not in every situation.
Some days I was sharp and focused.
Other days I couldn’t be productive at all.
That’s when I realized there was something more complex going on.
It wasn’t until I started learning about trauma, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices that the real answers showed up.
What helped me most wasn’t medication — it was a combination of somatic work, Kundalini Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and meditation.
Instead of constantly looking for new biohacking tips I started listening to what my body was trying to tell me.
This is what finally made it click:
Your prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain responsible for focusing, planning, and emotional regulation — becomes less efficient under chronic stress.
The same symptoms we blame ADHD for.
Our nervous system simply can’t perform well under constant stress.
It needs recovery.
