Welcome to the second episode of our six-part series on ADHD and Pregnancy, where I sit down with Master-certified ADHD coach and pregnancy expert Dusty Chipura! In this episode, we talk about some things one might expect to experience during their first trimester... and how that interplays with ADHD... or in the future! Dusty and I both share our personal experiences and cover topics one should consider when you know you want kids! And some of the struggles that happen along the way...

Turns out there are several non-alcoholic beers that are rich in folic acid, but the one Dusty mentions in the video is Erdinger. It is often promoted as being a “healthy alcohol free beer” not just because of its folic acid content, but also due to its B12 and polyphenol count. In fact, in Germany, it is apparently touted as a post workout drink.
