ADHD affects both children and adults, yet many people feel they’re still not getting the full picture, especially when it comes to root causes and long-term brain health.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Ali Ajaz, a UK-based psychiatrist with specialist interests in Nutritional Psychiatry, Gut–Brain Health, and Functional Medicine. A graduate of Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine, Dr Ajaz has over a decade of NHS experience in forensic psychiatry, alongside a strong academic background in research and medical education.

We discuss:
The importance of assessing nutrients such as ferritin, iron, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc
How gut health, inflammation, sleep, and lifestyle factors can worsen or improve ADHD symptoms
Why some patients experience profound improvements when nutrition and lifestyle are addressed alongside conventional care

This conversation is for anyone living with ADHD, parenting a child with ADHD, or wanting to understand how brain health, nutrition, and lifestyle truly intersect.
