Hey, I’m Alanah. One of the new voices here at Herbal Biohacker. You’ll probably be hearing from me a lot, especially when we’re diving into the stories behind fascinating people like Jack Palmer. I love making science, biohacking, and neurodivergence feel as relatable as possible. Let’s get into it!
Natural Treatment for ADHD: How Jack Palmer Built a Life That Works
Jack never set out to be the ADHD guy. In fact, for most of his life, he didn’t even know he had it. He just knew that structure felt suffocating, focus was either all or nothing, and sitting still for too long made him feel like crawling out of his skin. He knew something felt different. As if his mind had a mind of its own and one that didn’t understand why he felt things so intensely. For years, he was always on the move, travelling, chasing opportunities, never quite settling. And then came the moment where he had to actually return and start real life. That’s when he realised something wasn’t adding up. No one else seemed to be struggling with the basics quite as much as he was. His brain was clearly wired differently, but what did that actually mean? A diagnosis gave him the answer, but it didn’t come with a manual. Figuring it all out took time. There was no single aha moment, just a slow process of trial, error, and a lot of Googling. He soon realised that finding a natural treatment for ADHD would mean working with his brain instead of against it.
ADHD is not something to be fixed
Jack isn’t here to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do about their ADHD. What he does know is that for a lot of people, the conversation starts in the wrong place. Too often, it’s all about how to make an ADHD brain work like everyone else’s when the better question is how do you build a life that actually works for you.
This shift in thinking changes everything. Instead of seeing ADHD as something that constantly needs to be controlled, Jack sees it as something that needs to be understood and worked with. The difference between thriving with ADHD and struggling often comes down to having the right systems in place.

Some people thrive with structure, others need more flexibility. Some need movement to focus, others need quiet. There’s no universal ADHD toolkit that works for everyone, which is why Jack helps people build their own personal strategy.
This isn’t just about willpower. It’s about setting things up so life runs smoother, whether that’s getting better sleep, sorting out nutrition, or just finding ways to make boring tasks more tolerable. For many, a natural treatment for ADHD is about designing an environment that helps, rather than working against their brain.
So talking about natural treatment for ADHD, where should someone start?
Jack’s advice is simple. Pick the thing that feels easiest to change. People overcomplicate this. If something’s working against you, tweak it. See what happens. Don’t force yourself into routines that feel like punishment, make changes that actually make sense for you.
For one person, that might be adjusting their workspace so they actually want to sit down and focus. For another, it could be shifting their diet to avoid the energy crashes that make concentration impossible. Small changes lead to bigger shifts over time.
Why people deserve more than just one option
Jack’s not anti-medication. Some people swear by it, and that’s fine. What frustrates him is the way people, especially parents, are often pushed into it like it’s the only solution.
He has spoken to countless people who have felt completely lost, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck before they started making changes. Some were self-medicating with alcohol. Others were burning out from constantly masking. A lot of them had spent years thinking they were bad at life when really, they just didn’t have the right tools.
The biggest shift comes from realising they can build a system that works for them, instead of trying to force themselves into one that doesn’t.
Jack has seen people go from total chaos to consistent habits that actually stick. He has worked with people who have reduced overwhelm, built better routines, and even found emotional stability they never thought was possible.
One person he worked with finally managed to create a morning routine that worked, not one that looked good on paper, but one they could actually stick to without feeling like a failure. Another stopped using alcohol as a crutch to manage their overwhelm because they found other ways to regulate their nervous system.
This is what natural treatment for ADHD looks like in real life. It’s not about forcing yourself into a system that works for someone else. It’s about designing one that works for you.
What needs to change in ADHD support?
Jack’s biggest hope for the future is more education, less pressure, and actual choice. People should be given real options instead of being pushed down one path. No one should be forced into medication just because there’s a lack of support elsewhere.
The ADHD conversation needs to move beyond just fixing symptoms. It needs to be about understanding the person, what works for them, what doesn’t, and how they can set themselves up for success.
ADHD isn’t something to be fixed. It’s a different way of thinking. With the right tools and support, it can actually be a massive strength.
Jack’s work is about helping people get to that point. No guilt, no shame, and definitely no feeling like they’re failing at life just because they don’t fit the mould. For anyone looking for a natural treatment for ADHD, the most important step is understanding what actually works for them and building a system around it. Want to connect with Jack?
