You may be familiar with what we’re talking about today. And others of you may not. But I guarantee you know people who are using them. We’re talking about oral nicotine pouches, one of the most popular ones being the brand Zyn.

Today we’re taking a closer look at oral nicotine pouches, as well as the surprising effects they can have on your mental health, particularly ADHD.

The Happy Eating Podcast

Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood?
Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel?
The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.
