Today's interview is with my friend and educator June Klingberg. June experiences both ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) as well as PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). We talk about what it's like to have both of these and some nutritional background for how to improve symptoms.

Hosted by nutrition research expert and science communicator Annika Angelo, M.S., The Nutritional Mental Health Podcast explores the fascinating and growing discipline of nutritional psychology. Each episode delves into the tangible connections between what we consume and how we think and feel, moving beyond general wellness trends to focus on evidence-based discussions. Annika brings clarity to complex research, particularly regarding ADHD and cognitive function, translating scientific findings into practical insights. This isn't just about listing superfoods; it's a deep, nuanced conversation on how specific nutrients, dietary patterns, and gut health directly influence mood, focus, and mental resilience. Tuning into this podcast means hearing from a knowledgeable guide who is passionate about making nutritional science accessible and actionable. You'll find episodes that examine the mechanisms behind food-mood interactions, debunk common myths, and offer realistic strategies for harnessing diet to support mental well-being. For those looking to engage further, Annika offers additional resources through her Nutrimind Community and a weekly newsletter, both focused on continuing the conversation around ADHD and nutrition. The overall aim is to provide a reliable, science-backed resource for anyone curious about taking a more informed and intentional approach to their mental health through the lens of nutrition.
