‘This book will completely transform the way you think about ADHD and your biology. It’s evidence-based but also full of radical self-kindness and genuine empathy. A must-read for anyone touched by ADHD – diagnosed or not, or supporting someone who is – seeking to understand themselves better.’ — Alex Partridge, bestselling author of Now It All Makes Sense ‘What I love about Miguel’s book is how he weaves his own story and experience into really solid science and practical nutrition advice. He has created something powerful here. Miguel fully understands ADHD, and it shows – this book is compassionate, evidence-based, and genuinely useful.’

— Dr Rupy Aujla, The Doctor’s Kitchen ‘This book makes ADHD make sense. It helps you understand your biology in a simple, human way, and shows you how to actually work with your brain rather than fight against it.’ — Tj Power, neuroscientist and bestselling author of The DOSE Effect ‘This book gives you a wealth of valuable knowledge, while somehow nourishing your body, mind, and soul instead of overwhelming you.

It’s not another surface-level take on ADHD. It’s a full 360 look that finally brings the body, the brain, the nervous system, and the soul back together. Inside, you’ll find gentle reminders, science that actually lands, practices to regulate your energy, recipes that genuinely help, and reflections that make you stop and breathe for a moment. It feels interactive, personal, and full of compassion. As someone who has lived with the messiness of disordered eating and the emotional chaos ADHD can bring, this book finally feels practical for people like us.

It’s something you can reach for on a hard day and actually feel supported by. It’s soulful science. It’s grounding. It’s hopeful. And it’s needed. If you live with ADHD (or love someone who does), this book will help you understand yourself in a way that feels kind and human. It honours the complexity of ADHD without ever making you feel broken. I’m so grateful this exists.’

— Rosie Turner, accredited ADHD coach and founder of ADHD Untangled ‘This book FINALLY joins the dots between science, story, and the lived reality of ADHD. Miguel speaks our language with clarity and compassion. A must-read!’ — Ben Branson, founder of The Hidden 20% ‘ADHD Body and Mind offers a refreshing and much-needed perspective by reframing ADHD as a different neurotype rather than a disorder. I appreciate how this book weaves together neuroscience, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection in a way that feels both accessible and deeply respectful of the lived experience of ADHD.

It’s guided by compassion, grounded in research, and filled with practical tools that honour the whole person. Whether you are navigating ADHD yourself or supporting someone who is, this book brings insight, validation, and a sense of possibility. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the body-mind connection through a more integrative and empowering lens.’
