Unlocking Focus: Exploring Sound, Light, and Nutrition for ADHD

The holidays often spark meaningful conversations. In my recent gatherings, a recurring theme was health—especially the different ways people manage focus and calm. For those with ADHD, the discussion often revolves around medication. But what if we could also consider tools as natural and intuitive as sound, light, and nutrition?

As a certified nutritionist, herbalist, and researcher (Osiris), I’ve dedicated years to studying preventative medical treatments, devices, and surgical robotics. Through my work, I’ve seen the incredible potential of natural tools to complement traditional treatments. Here, I’ll share insights into how sound, light, and nutrition might help manage ADHD, offering tools that are accessible and grounded in science.

Sound: Turning Chaos into Rhythm

Soundscapes can transform distractions into focus. For ADHD minds, the right auditory environment can calm overactivity and foster clarity. Here are some sound-based tools to try:

Light: A Flicker of Focus

Light therapy is another promising tool for ADHD. Flickering light stimulation (FLS) uses rhythmic light patterns to help align brain frequencies, offering meditative calm or sharpening focus.

Nutrition: Fueling the ADHD Brain

Here are five impactful options to add to your routine:

  1. Fatty Fish (e.g., Salmon): Omega-3 fatty acids in fish support brain health and regulate attention.

Expanding the Conversation

At Frequency House, my goal is to broaden the discussion about ADHD management. This isn’t about replacing medication but exploring natural and complementary tools to enrich the way we approach focus and calm.
