Dyslexia and Supplements: Which should I take?

See My New Neurodiverse Supplement Company Waitlist here if you are keen to join the journey. I appreciate the support!


When I first got diagnosed with dyslexia. Well, that was actually 10 years old - feels like a lifetime ago!(Now I am 40)

I did not even think how I should supplement for my brain. The dyslexic brain take much more energy to process symbols (letters and some times numbers). We process in 3D so, like a big computer there is just more RAM needed. 

When I did the Davis Dyslexia course at about 33, I learned what it really means

I was re-inspired to look at my dyslexia and find out that it was a key puzzle piece to this endless searching for answers to why I was the way I was…. (breath out)

What Dyslexic Supplements actually work? 

Us dyslexics are problem solvers, solution finders, and explorers.

I was digging deep on working on my mind. But I also knew there was a nutrition or supplement element.

In the podcast below have a listen as I talk through my latest nutrition finds.

This is a big topic and one I want to really dive into. I will dive much deeper into each of the following. But for now, once you listen to the podcast, if you do what to give any a go to see if they support your dyslexic mind. Dive in.
