Welcome to Crunchy Culture, your weekly dose of unfiltered wellness talk with me, Tina Sorenson, where I dive deep into the latest buzz from the wellness world. Each episode, I’m here with snarky humor, personal obsessions, and a wellness tip or recipe to inspire your own journey. Join me every Tuesday for a fresh perspective on how to thrive in this crazy world of health trends and ideas.

In this episode, get a peek into my life as I battle through mold exposure recovery (and it's a slow process, y'all). I’m totally geeking out over my latest obsession—hypochlorous solution. Yes, I’m becoming a DIY wizard in my own kitchen, mixing up powerful cleaning solutions that obliterate 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and—wait for it—mold. But it’s not just about cleaning, it’s a reminder that wellness is both external and internal. Tune in to hear about how this process is shaping my health journey and how I’ve learned to live with a little magic in my life.

Then, we get into a topic close to my heart—ADHD. Why is it that so many adults are being diagnosed with ADHD lately? Is it the result of better awareness, or is there something more to the story, like… diet? I explore how our modern-day food habits and ultra-processed diets could be affecting our brains and leading to a spike in ADHD diagnoses. We’ll chat about the gut-brain connection, a game changer when it comes to managing ADHD.

Finally, I share my own family’s journey with ADHD and gut health—from my son’s struggles with focus and the impact of real food to how exercise, sleep hygiene, and proper diet can make all the difference in managing ADHD. Spoiler: it’s not just about popping a pill. Small changes—like swapping sugary snacks for protein-packed options or trying some mindful movement—could be the key to better brain function and overall well-being.

So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s get into it. Whether you’re new to wellness or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with info you can take and apply today to enhance your life.
