🧠 ADHD Survival Blueprint: The Daily Routines and Supplements Every High-Functioning Neurodivergent Needs to Stay Locked In
My boy has ADHD, and he’s one of the most creative people I’ve ever met. When speaking to him, he said he owes it all to looking at it as a SUPERPOWER rather than a disadvantage….
⚡️ THE ADHD DAILY ROUTINE FOR SUPERHUMAN PERFORMANCE
🕗 WAKE-UP (6–8am)
Wake up same time every day. ADHD craves novelty but thrives on rhythm.
✅ 10–20 min sunlight or red light therapy — dopamine + circadian rhythm boost
✅ Tall glass of water + sea salt or electrolytes — jumpstarts brain and body
✅ Movement or breathwork — even 5–10 mins (walk, stretch, cold shower, Wim Hof breathing)
🧠 Stack:
Vitamin D3 + K2 (2,000–5,000 IU)
Omega-3 (EPA-dominant) (1000–2000 mg EPA)
Lion’s Mane Mushroom (1000–2000 mg dual-extract)
L-Tyrosine (500–1000 mg for dopamine support)
Citicoline or Alpha GPC (250–500 mg for focus + memory)
💻 DEEP WORK BLOCK (9am–12pm)
This is your golden window. Protect it like it’s sacred.
✅ Turn off all notifications (Focus mode, kill the dopamine leaks)
✅ Time-block with visual timers (ADHD brains need clear start-stop signals)
✅ Use background music or brown noise to stay immersed
✅ Break your work into 25–45 min sprints with 5–10 min resets
Optional Nootropic Stack:
Rhodiola Rosea (200–400 mg) — calm energy
Cordyceps (500–1000 mg) — clean endurance
Beet Root (for oxygen/blood flow)
🥗 LUNCH + MIDDAY RESET (12pm–2pm)
✅ High-protein, moderate-carb, low-sugar meal — avoid the 2pm crash
✅ Walk for 10–20 minutes (improves dopamine + memory retention)
✅ Take a 15–30 min power nap or guided meditation if brain is foggy
Supplements:
Magnesium Glycinate or Malate (200–400 mg)
Maca Root (1500–3000 mg) — energy + hormone support
Ashwagandha (500 mg) — stress resilience
Probiotic or greens powder — gut-brain axis support
🧠 SECOND FOCUS BLOCK (2pm–5pm)
✅ Keep caffeine minimal or skip entirely
✅ Use a standing desk or change environment (novelty = mental reset)
✅ Prioritize easier tasks or creative work
Optional Afternoon Boost:
L-Theanine (100–200 mg) — smooth focus
CoQ10 (100 mg) — energy without stim
Low-dose caffeine + theanine (if needed)
🏋️♂️ EVENING MOVEMENT (5pm–7pm)
✅ Strength training, kickboxing, HIIT, or just get the body moving
✅ Exercise = dopamine, serotonin, endorphins = natural ADHD therapy
✅ Don't skip this. Even 20–30 mins = major mental reset
Pre-Workout Stack (Optional):
Creatine Monohydrate (5g)
Beet Root + Cordyceps
Electrolytes / salt + lemon water
🌙 NIGHTTIME WIND-DOWN (8pm–10pm)
No screens 1 hour before bed. ADHD brains are hyper-stimulated by blue light.
✅ Dim the lights
✅ Journal 3 wins + 3 priorities for tomorrow
✅ Stretch or foam roll
✅ No food 2 hours before sleep
Sleep Stack:
Magnesium L-Threonate (1000–2000 mg)
Glycine (3g)
L-Theanine (100–200 mg)
NAC (600–1200 mg) — detox + brain fog fighter
Chamomile, lemon balm, or GABA tea
🧬 BONUS ADHD HACKS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Use visual task boards (Notion, whiteboard, or Trello)
Gamify boring tasks — set a timer, reward yourself for small wins
Batch your distractions — build “dopamine breaks” into your day on purpose
Create dopamine anchors — new music, cold showers, switching work locations
Stop shaming yourself for being wired different — ADHD isn’t broken. It’s high-performance with the right system.
