214// Is this Gene Mutation Making Your ADHD Worse? Why the MAOA SNP Matters If You Have ADHD

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

Today, we are continuing on with our ADHD series here on the Better Belly Podcast.

Today, I'm going to be talking about something I just do NOT hear people talk about in the ADHD community, and that is the MAOA gene mutation.

These gene mutation is HUGELY implicated in ADHD.

You do not automatically have the MAOA gene mutation if you have ADHD, but if you do have this gene mutation, you can be set up for symptoms like poor focus, carb cravings, difficulty staying asleep, depression, chocolate cravings, have a tremendous amount of energy one moment then none the next, have great focus one moment then none the next, have difficulty controlling your temper, and generally crave things that will give you a dopamine hit.

If you are looking for ways to support your ADHD than can literally make it EASIER to manage, without needing more systems to rule your life - then this episode is for you.
