Derek's actual stack

The tools that run the system.

Not a supplement listicle. Not sponsored content. These are the exact tools Derek uses to support his nervous system, focus, and recovery — tested across 90 days of the Morning Architecture through ADHD, job loss, and domestic chaos.

Everything below earns its place by doing one job well.

The philosophy

Less is the system.

The neurodivergent brain is sensitive to stimulation, cortisol, and decision overload. The wrong supplement stack doesn't just fail — it actively makes things worse. Derek's approach: minimum effective dose of the right things, zero of everything else.

This page shows you the foundation tools — what Derek uses publicly and what underpins the Morning Architecture. The full protocol stack (exact dosing, timing, sequencing, and the 3 tools Derek doesn't share freely) lives inside the Foundation System and 1:1 coaching.

If you're new here, start with the Morning Architecture. The tools make more sense once the protocol is in place.

The stack

What Derek uses. What works. What doesn't.

Two tools are fully revealed here. The rest of the stack is covered in depth inside the Morning Architecture and Foundation System — with exact dosing, timing, and the reasoning behind each choice.

💊
Methylation support
Fully revealed
Methylfolate
Active B9 — the form that actually crosses the blood-brain barrier. Standard folate doesn't work the same way for many ADHD and MTHFR-variant brains. Methylfolate supports dopamine and serotonin production at the source. Derek takes this every morning before food. It's the first thing that made a measurable difference.

🥤
Micronutrient baseline
Fully revealed
AG1 (Athletic Greens)
The ADHD brain runs through micronutrients faster under stress. AG1 is insurance — not magic. It fills the gaps that a variable diet leaves, without requiring you to track 12 individual supplements. Derek drinks it every morning in the protocol. It works because the system running around it works.

🔒
Gut-brain axis
Bovine Colostrum
The gut-brain connection is real — and for ADHD brains, inflammation in the gut shows up as brain fog, mood instability, and inconsistency. Derek uses a specific colostrum product for a specific reason. The full protocol explains why, when, and how much.

🔒
Calm focus
The Focus Pair
Two compounds Derek stacks with his morning coffee. One reduces the edge of stimulant medication without blunting it. The other improves working memory and cognitive flexibility. Both are evidence-backed for ADHD. Neither is Adderall.

🔒
Sleep & recovery
The Night Protocol
The ADHD brain fights sleep onset harder than neurotypical brains. Derek's approach to recovery is specific — physiological dose, precise timing, no groggy mornings. The full night-before system (including what Derek takes and when) is in the Morning Architecture.

🔒
Performance phase
The Performance Stack
Three additional tools Derek uses during the NFF Foundation System's performance phase — for men pushing harder on training, working through high-stress periods, or dealing with hormonal shifts after 40. This stack is inside the Foundation System only.

Why not give it all away

Context is the product. Not the list.

Anyone can Google "ADHD supplements." The problem isn't information — it's the absence of a system that tells you what to take, when, in what order, and why it works for your specific brain type.

Derek shares what's useful publicly. The protocol-specific tools live inside the Morning Architecture because without the protocol, they don't perform the same way. The system is what makes the stack work — not the supplements themselves.

That's the whole point of NeuroFitFlow. Not more information. A working system.
