I wake up at about 6:30am. I hate alarms — they spike your cortisol before you’ve even had a sip of water. If it’s dark, I switch on a full-spectrum light panel while I put the kettle on. It’s my fake sunshine in Lancashire.
My mornings start with keto coffee, made with collagen and MCT oil. ADHD brains like mine are naturally low in dopamine, and this combination gives me a focus boost without the crash. Ketones are a cleaner fuel for the brain than sugar, and you feel it within minutes.
