If you’ve found your way here after years of feeling like your body and brain were working against you... welcome.

So many women with ADHD spend years with symptoms that never seem to add up. Chronic pain. Hormonal mood swings. Poor sleep. Anxiety. A gut that won’t settle. Dizzy spells. Feeling everything so deeply that rejection knocks you flat.

Each one gets looked at on its own. A different appointment, a different specialist, a different “let’s just keep an eye on it.”

But these aren’t random. They show up alongside ADHD far more often than most people realise. Especially when you’ve spent years masking and pushing through just to keep up.

And having to explain yourself over and over? That’s exhausting.

That’s where I come in. I listen to your whole story, not just one symptom at a time. Together we look at how ADHD, your hormones, your gut and your nervous system are all connected. Then we use food and simple daily support to calm your system and help you feel more like you again.

If this sounds familiar, let’s have a free chat. Link in bio to book.

Many people expect a nutritionist to hand them a list of foods they can’t eat.

Or maybe they saw a practitioner once who gave them an expensive stack of supplements and locked them into unnecessary packages.

That’s not how I work. I start by listening, because your story holds the clues. Then we build a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.

Let’s jump on a chat to see how I can help you. Link in bio.

Your brain is hungry! 🧠 As a clinical nutritionist I’m always making sure my patients’ brains are getting what they need.

It uses over 20% of your energy every day, so what you put on your plate really matters for focus, mood and memory.

Here are some of my favourite brain loving foods:

🐟 Fatty fish (ideally wild caught): rich in omega-3 (DHA), a key building block of brain cells
🥑 Avocado: healthy fats to keep blood sugar and energy steady
🎃 Pumpkin seeds: magnesium, zinc and iron in one small handful
🥜 Walnuts: the brain-shaped nut, full of omega-3s and antioxidants
🥬 Dark leafy greens: folate and magnesium to support a calm, steady mood
🥚 Egg yolk: one of the best sources of choline, which helps with memory
🫐 Berries: packed with antioxidants that protect brain cells as well as fibre to support the gut brain connection
🥩 Grass-fed beef: iron, zinc and B12 to help make the brain chemicals that drive focus and motivation

💧 And a special mention for water. Even mild dehydration can make it harder to think clearly. It’s a boring basic that I will never stop talking about.

You don’t need to eat all of these every day. Start by adding one or two to your meals this week.

If you’re struggling with brain fog, focus or low mood, I’d love to help. Book a chat via the link in my bio.

Are you hungry an hour after eating? That’s not just “a big appetite”. It’s usually your body telling you something specific. 👀

So often I see people who’ve been taught that hunger is a problem to override, especially when trying to lose weight. But hunger is just information. The real question is why it’s showing up so soon, and so often.

It could be what (or how much) you ate last meal. It could be yesterday’s workout that never got refuelled. It could be hydration, or sleep throwing off your fullness signals. For my ADHD clients, it can also be about interoception - literally having a harder time hearing your body’s signals until they’re shouting at you.

Hunger is different from food noise. Hunger builds gradually, you feel it in your body, and it settles once you actually eat. Food noise is the looping, intrusive stuff that doesn’t switch off. Knowing which one you’re dealing with changes everything about how you respond to it.

When we figure out what’s actually driving the hunger, my patients feel nourished, energised, and steady between meals, not white-knuckling it to the next one. 🌿

Comment HUNGRY and I’ll send you my free 7-day guide: what to eat, when to eat it, and how to restore your vitality.

It's 84 days until the Friday before Christmas 🤯
Are you white-knuckling your way there, living for a week or two away from the grind?

Imagine getting there and being energised, calm and feeling good in yourself. What about pain and inflammation reduced?

You can think of 84 days as either a long slog or as a huge opportunity to end the year feeling great.

In my clinical nutrition clinics in Wilston Village, The Gap and online, I love helping people like you to get your vitality back, and make sure your nutrition is supporting your short and long term goals. Healthy and strong for the long term.

I most commonly support people with the following areas, plus the messy middle in between as very few people's symptoms fit neatly into one category:
🧠 ADHD and co-existing conditions - From 8yo to adult. Diagnosed or not. Medicated or not. You're welcome in my neuroaffirming practice.
💉 GLP-1 support - making your goals sustainable and for you to feel great while you're getting there.
🍑 Metabolic health - whether you are trying to lose weight, avoid or treat chronic illness, have more energy or sleep better.
😶‍🌫️ Perimenopause support - because this can throw a spanner in the works with how you feel mentally and physically.

Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Susie Allen and I’m a clinical nutritionist.

I’ve had loads of new followers in the last couple of weeks so I wanted to take a moment to show you a little bit about how I support my patients across ADHD, metabolic health, GLP-1 support (I’m not a prescriber though) and perimenopause, and often in the messy middle.

My focus is making sure your nutrition and lifestyle are supporting your brain health, your body and your hormones for the long haul while you are meeting your goals along the way.

Where are you on this board? Tell me in the comments 👇🏻

If you’d like to see how we can work together, pop into the link in bio or drop me a DM.

As a busy nutritionist, mum and ADHDer, I know what it’s like to get overwhelmed by too many steps in the kitchen.

And I’m as susceptible as anyone to the ADHD perfectionism trap: if I can’t do it perfectly, I won’t do it at all.

So I’m learning to take the shortcuts, remove unnecessary steps and ditch perfectionism in favour of done.

Am I perfect at that? Absolutely not. I’m still a work in progress, but aren’t we all?

One of the things I’ve realised is that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to result in a nutritious meal.

Sometimes the “rules” we’ve picked up about how we’re supposed to cook just add more steps, more things to remember and more opportunities to get overwhelmed.

Like trying to have every part of dinner perfectly cooked and ready at exactly the same time.

No thanks.

🍚 As promised, here’s my easy absorption method for rice:

Add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water to a saucepan wth a pinch of salt.

Bring to the boil, put the lid on and turn the heat right down.

Cook for 10 minutes, then turn the heat off and leave the lid on. Let the rice sit there happily while you finish the rest of dinner.

If you have an induction cooktop with a timer that switches the cooking zone off automatically, even better. Set it for 10 minutes and that’s one less thing your brain has to remember.

No draining. No colander. No trying to time the rice perfectly with everything else.

The trick is finding the shortcuts that work for you, because what makes cooking easier will depend on:

• the foods you actually like
• your cooking skills and confidence
• sensory preferences
• your energy and capacity
• the equipment you have
• the things that trip you up

That’s where individualised nutrition support can help.

We can look at what’s actually getting in the way in your kitchen and find realistic ways to make feeding yourself well easier, without expecting you to suddenly become a meal-prepping, perfectly organised version of yourself.

If you’d like some help figuring out what that could look like for you, reach out via the link in my bio.

And I’d love to know: what kitchen “rule” or unnecessary step have you ditched?

Nutrition appointments available over school holidays 🍏

Alongside my adult clinic, you might not know that I also see children from ages 8+. I love supporting kids and their families to find solutions to their challenges in ways that work for the whole family.
Common paediatric experiences I support:
- ADHD
- Focus
- Attention
- Energy
- Sleep
- Behaviour
- Emotional regulation
- Iron depletion

There is little that nutrition can’t support whether alongside or instead of other treatments.

I have a food first approach and will suggest therapeutic supplements and testing if needed. I have testing options that are noninvasive too.

I’m in my The Gap clinic on Tuesdays and Wilston from Wednesday to Saturday. Online available too. You can book online here https://www.yourvitalitynutrition.com.au Start with a free chat if you want to see how I can help or if you’re ready to get started go straight for an initial.

I hope to help you or your kids soon.

Did you know your brain uses about 20% of your body’s glucose, despite being only ~2% of your body weight? 🧠

That’s a huge energy demand, and when blood sugar swings high then crashes, your brain feels it fast. Those crashes don’t just affect energy, they hit mood and emotional regulation too: irritability, anxiety, that “on edge” feeling.

This matters even more if you have ADHD. Blood sugar instability can compound the dopamine regulation challenges already at play, making it harder to focus, manage impulses, and stay emotionally steady.

Stable blood sugar isn’t about eating less sugar, it’s about eating in a way that keeps your brain fuelled steadily. That means 3 regular meals, including protein and fibre at each one.

I know this sounds boring, and it’s often easier said than done. I’m not the kind of nutritionist who forces perfection on you, a “meal” can be cheese and crackers with some pre-cut veg, a ready meal, or a gourmet dish if you’ve got the energy for it.

Your feed is probably full of pictures of perfectly curated meals, different every day. I know mine is.

But some days we need easy, especially if ADHD, perimenopause or low appetite are in play.

Some days that will look like a salad, or a chuck it all in smoothie, or even precut carrots with some cheese.

I know there are a lot of things in my salad and that might seem overwhelming for some. But the key is having ingredients in that you can use easily. Also knowing how to store those ingredients helps so the green stuff doesn’t turn to mush before you get a chance to eat it.

I work with people where they are at with their goals, health concerns and capacity for food prep in mind. Highly personalised for your unique body.
