From feeling wired and yet tired, unable to focus or easily overwhelmed, the nervous system can have a huge impact on how you feel.
Many of the people who come to us experience this type of dysregulation which can make them feel:
- Easily overwhelmed
- Struggling with mental fatigue or ‘brain fog’
- Experiencing mood swings
- Finding it hard to focus
- Feeling flat or emotionally drained
At So Nutrition we help regulate the nervous system through nutrition and lifestyle support. This can stabilise mood, help you focus and boost energy, improving your overall wellbeing.
We don’t aim to change or treat neurodivergence. We support your nervous system so it has what it needs to function as well as it can, in the context of your life.
Why nutrition matters when you feel dysregulated
Your nervous system is fuelled by nutrients. When intake doesn’t meet demand, regulation becomes harder. This isn’t about willpower. It’s biology.
Common patterns we see include:
- Blood sugar dips driving irritability, anxiety, low mood or brain fog
- Long gaps between eating worsening emotional regulation
- Low energy availability leading to shutdown or burnout
- Increased nutrient needs that aren’t being met through diet alone
For those with ADHD and/or autism, these patterns can show up more strongly due to differences including appetite cues, sensory preferences and stress response.
Research has shown imbalances in the microbiome are more prevalent in ADHD patients. An unbalanced gut microbiome can lead to inflammation, contributing to a host of mental and physical health concerns.
