Did you know that 70% of adults with ADHD are likely to struggle with obesity?
I did not know that until I started researching this week! Why wasn’t that something that is shared from the very start?
So I am thinking that I’m not the only one on this weight loss health journey that’s trying to lose weight while struggling with ADHD.

How does Ozempic help ADHD Symptoms?
Dopamine is a key player for behavior and motivation. If we ended up with obesity because of issues with eating for a dopamine fix or eating for stimulation, GLP-1 meds help modulate these effects in our brain’s reward system.

As research is being pursued for alcohol and drug addiction, this is the same research that also will help bridge some understanding of impact to ADHD symptoms.
As always, I advocate for you to talk to your health care provider about ADHD if you haven’t already! Along with any medical information you see on the Internet before taking advice from strangers like me!
