Basically, it's another version of my 'check engine light' theory about ADHD. What if ADHD is actually a wake up call, an opportunity for us to start paying attention to the internal world more than the external world? What if that is our opportunity to slow down and heal ourselves? To be more aware, grateful and present to what life needs us to be present to... instead of what we think we should be present to.For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide":www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-...🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcR...📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:www.adhdisover.com💬 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' on Xwww.x.com/@adhdisover💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/adhdisover📡 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON INSTAGRAM:www.instagram.com/adhdisover📺 SUBSCRIBE TO 'ADHD IS OVER' on YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@adhdisoverBONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:a.co/d/ch6AAxU

I feel that as an advocacy group claiming to 'protect' children and adults with ADHD, they are filing miserably and this weak defense of their view point shows that clearly. The statement lacks humility and openness to engage in a constructive dialogue with 'questioners' like Paul Tough - and people like myself - such that it's riddled with arrogance and ignorance when it comes to the real purpose of science and medicine.Read it for yourself and let me know what you think...CHADD's statement on Paul Tough's Article in the New York Times Magazine:https://chadd.org/adhd-news/adhd-news-adults/adhd-weekly-adhd-blog-chadd-response-to-nyt-magazine-have-we-been-thinking-about-a-d-h-d-all-wrong/Paul Tough's Article in the New York Times Magazine:https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/magazine/adhd-medication-treatment-research.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20250413&instance_id=152482&nl=the-morning®i_id=100970471&segment_id=195907&user_id=c3bc4d534eb28ad9cf9a75558e66859eFor more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide":www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-...🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcR...📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:www.adhdisover.com💬 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' on Xwww.x.com/@adhdisover💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/adhdisover📡 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON INSTAGRAM:www.instagram.com/adhdisover📺 SUBSCRIBE TO 'ADHD IS OVER' on YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@adhdisoverBONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:a.co/d/ch6AAxU

THE COURAGE TO COME BACK is an episode with my guest David Chalk. David is a Canadian businessman, AI innovator, and national literacy advocate who learned to read at the age of 62. He is featured in the acclaimed documentary The Truth About Reading—now streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video—which exposes the widespread crisis of illiteracy across North America. David’s story offers hope to families and parents seeking answers, proving it’s never too late to learn and change is possible at any age. As a child, David was wrongly labeled “mentally retarded” in an era before learning differences were understood. He lives with ADHD, dyslexia, prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces), and other challenges. Dismissed by the education system and told he would never succeed, David barely made it through school. Yet by 20, he became an airline pilot. By 23, he launched his first business—and by 28, was a self-made millionaire. He credits his resilience to the unconditional love of his mother and a belief in human potential. Today, David is using his decades of experience in artificial intelligence to help families break free from the cycle of reading failure. He is the founder of ReadingRoad.ai, a groundbreaking platform that blends neuroscience with emotionally responsive AI to help children and adults master reading. His focus is on creating safe, empowering experiences—especially for parents who feel lost in a system that’s failing their children. In 2025, David was awarded the Courage to Come Back Award, one of Canada’s highest civilian honors, for overcoming adversity and driving national awareness. He speaks across North America to parents, educators, and leaders—explaining how the brain learns, why current methods fall short, and what can be done right now to create lasting change.David’s message is clear: no child should struggle alone, and no parent should be left without answers. With the right tools and understanding, literacy can be unlocked—for everyone.For more info on David Chalk, please visit www.chalkcorp.com The Truth About Reading — full documentary - screening linkhttps://vimeo.com/860490581/10293b81d2?share=copyConversations That Matter - Youtubehttps://youtu.be/Gz1DPkoPlLw?si=3fCvmJAIrtxGBPwSFor more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.comCheck out our sponsor ZHERO at www.zhero.co and get yourself some non-jittery hyper-focus online!📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide":www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-...🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcR...📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:www.adhdisover.com💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/adhdisover/📡 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON INSTAGRAM:www.instagram.com/adhd_is_overBONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:a.co/d/ch6AAxU

We The PeopleDuring a recent zoom coaching group that I’m part of, one of the participants asked our coach: “Is the US going to make it?” This certainly was not a question I had expected since this particular group’s focus is for its participants to share personal issues and get insights on how to tackle them.Our coach quickly shifted gears, took a deep breathe and calmly said: “Not this America. It’s on its way out.” Not a very inspiring and positive response, I thought. After all, I had joined this group to receive uplifting, optimistic information and tools that I could use to improve my own life. But I suddenly felt a veil of anxiety swoop in and highjack my previously calm mind . Yet I was intrigued by this big picture question as I love deep explorations of such topics. And now I was even more intrigued by how the group would react to the coaches’ rather dark statement.What followed was a sobering group conversation about the state of our nation. I started to see that the most pressing question clouding the American psyche - hidden underneath a thick layer of unresolved anger, outrage and division - was a simple question: ’Are we going to be okay?’And since ‘We’ consists of millions of ‘I’s… millions of individuals are feeling their own level of anxiety, wondering whether they would be okay following the upcoming elections. It was quickly evident to me that this conversation was not at all about politics but rather about our own individual levels of fear of death.The problem with this simple question is that it’s impossible for us to answer it. We would have to first define what ‘we’ means. And what ’okay’ means. Maybe it would be easier to ask ‘will I be okay?’. Because that way, we can define for ourselves what those words mean to us. Will I, the human form survive? Will I die during some form of local unrest? Will my partner, my husband, my wife, my children be hurt by some evil forces of the opposing party? Will there be a civil war? Bombs? World war 3? Is this the beginning of the Apocalypse?And by being ‘okay’, do I mean that I still get to go to Starbucks, keep my job, drive my car, play pickle ball, binge Netflix, go on all-inclusive resort vacations and invest in the stock market?So, let’s look at what is frantically knocking at our front doors:Elections. Blue vs. Red, Good vs. Evil, Right vs. Wrong, Them vs. Us, You vs. Me… let’s call all of this ‘Division’ for simplicity reasons.To our coach’s point, the United States of America is clearly divided and its current incarnation might soon come to an end. It is a possibility. We may not want to look at it. We may not like it. We may not want to face the fact that it might become a reality. But we do need to consider it as being one of the options.That said, what I foresee is going to end is not the people, not the spirit, not the states… only the ‘United’ part. Let’s face it… we no longer see eye to eye as a nation. I personally feel that a much needed split up between the main two clashing narratives on how to run this country - is needed. And a split up wouldn’t be the end of the world by the way...For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.comCheck out our sponsor ZHERO at www.zhero.co and get yourself some non-jittery hyper-focus online!And... check out our new sponsor "Planet 432" - www.planet432.com (affiliate link: planet432.peachs.co/a/roman)📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide":www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-...🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcR...📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:www.adhdisover.com💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/adhdisover/BONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:a.co/d/ch6AAxU

HOCUS FOCUS is an episode with entrepreneur and writer Russell Kramer. In his own words: "When I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of seven - for asking questions without raising my hands and standing at my desk - I was promptly put onto Dexedrine, an amphetamine.I didn't want to take it, but I was given no choice and refused it at age twelve - only to be forced back onto ADHD meds when I was 16. This time it was adderall. I began to like adderall and took it on and off until my early twenties. I earned a college degree, did well in school, biked across the country and became a bit of an addict. Upon withdrawing from Adderall, I learned how to manage my ADHD and my addiction. Drinking Ayahuasca helped some. But ultimately I learned how to manage and live with adhd without taking medications and it became my aim to discuss this topic, represent the people and be there to help people with the brutal withdrawal of adhd medications.Russell Kramer is an entrepreneur and a writer and he has written - in his words - “The best Adderall memoir the world has ever known”, 'Hocus Focus: Coming of age with ADD and its medicines'."More about Russell Kramer:https://rlkramer.us/about-me/The Book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5QDY71DSubstack - https://rlkramer.substack.com/Youtube -https://www.youtube.com/@R.L.KramerTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@adhdmedfree?_t=8bPhjLBxrQM&_r=1Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/r.l.kramer/Check out our sponsor ZHERO at www.zhero.co and get yourself some non-jittery hyper-focus online!And... check out our new sponsor "Planet 432" - www.planet432.com (affiliate link: planet432.peachs.co/a/roman)For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide":www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-...🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcR...📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:www.adhdisover.com💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/adhdisover/BONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:a.co/d/ch6AAxU

ADHD IS A GENETIC ADVANTAGE is an episode with my guest Su Robotti, a Consumer Health Advocate and the founder of the MedShadow Foundation, launched in 2013. She did so after she was harmed by a medicine called DES (diethylstilbestrol) that was given to her mother while pregnant and as a result was unable to have children. Generations later, this hormone disruptor has been found to cause rare cancers, autoimmune diseases and infertility. In 2017 Robotti was appointed to the FDA Advisory Committee on Drug Safety and Risk Management, joining a panel of doctors and pharmacists as the sole consumer representative. Together, the Committee reviews research and decides if a drug is safe enough for use. Su and I are going to do a deep dive on such topics as the risks of side effects from medicines; questions to ask your doctor about meds; increased risks of meds for children and the FDA’s drug approval process in general as well as her role on the FDA Advisory Committee.Mentioned Links:https://www.desaction.orghttps://www.cochrane.orghttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govhttps://newsarchive.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/5-5-1999.htmlhttps://medshadow.org/associates/suzanne-robotti/For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com📑 DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: "ADHD Diagnosis Survival Guide": https://www.adhdisover.com💻 SCHEDULE FREE ADHD COACHING EXPLORATION SESSION WITH ROMAN: https://calendly.com/romanwyden/adhd-is-over-exploration-session🎧 LISTEN TO 'ADHD IS OVER' PODCAST:https://open.spotify.com/show/7odBbcRrEk4ajMZJBtEnUx?si=f83a8704dced4979📫 SIGN UP FOR 'ADHD IS OVER' E-MAIL UPDATES:https://www.adhdisover.com💊 FOLLOW 'ADHD IS OVER' ON FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/adhdisoverBONUS OPPORTUNITY:📘 Purchase Roman's Kindle Book "Intimacy Is" on Amazon:https://a.co/d/ch6AAxU

ADHD: GOOD NEWS. BAD NEWS. is a new episode around the importance of realizing that true ADHD [symptom] healing is work that takes time. There is no quick-fix, no one-size fits all, no pill to magically make it go away. I believe that the real healing takes time and effort and it starts with parents taking radical ownership of their families, their children and most importantly THEMSELVES. They are not to blame, it's not their fault, but it is their duty as a parent to transform themselves first before medicating their children with schedule 2 drugs!Starting in 2024 I will be coaching 8-10 families and if you're interested to be one of the families (or individuals), go to www.adhdisover.com and get more info on my coaching offerings:https://www.adhdisover.com/services-7You can schedule a FREE 30-min.

I HATE BUTTONS is a short story turned metaphor about how our son Khai used to hate buttons... for 12 years... and everyone tried to label it as an autistic trait... but was it?
DEPRIVING OUR CHILDREN is a quick rant around why I strongly feel that trauma exists in order for us to help transform our mess into our message. Yet, we diagnose and medicate away our children's - our next generation's - opportunities for transformation (aka becoming who they are here to become - through healing their wounds)… and most importantly, I feel that as parents if we label and medicate our children [with ADHD], we the parents never get to dive deeper, identify our own traumas, our coping mechanisms, our addiction patterns and we don't get to heal them… in turn healing our children and dissolving these so-called symptoms of ADHD. These 'labels' keep us boxed in and they keep us and them small.Listen in and hear for yourself where you land in regard to being a conscious or unconscious parent...

A FRAUDULENT DIAGNOSIS is a powerful, in-depth conversation with my guest Laurie A. Couture, a Childhood Developmental Trauma and Attachment Specialist.Laurie is a licensed mental health counselor and the author of 'Instead of Medicating and Punishing' and the best seller, 'Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons'. She is developing The Couture Protocol, an evidence-based, whole-child program of treating developmental and generational trauma in children, youths, and their families. Laurie provides consulting, presentations, training, and research reports to industries, agencies, and programs that directly serve children, youths, and families.Laurie discovered early in her professional career that our society's institutions are out of alignment with nature's intent for children's developmental and attachment needs. What concerned her most was that the institutions in which she worked--behavioral healthcare, education, social services, and juvenile justice--generally reacted to children's alarm signals with labels and behavioral/biochemical interventions that caused more developmental distress. She observed that boys especially suffered and withered in these institutions, as their needs and natural alarm signals were met with denial, hostility, or punishment.For more information on Laurie’s work, visit https://laurieacouture.comHer books are available on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Instead-Medicating-Punishing-Childrens-Acting-Out/dp/1932279970/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8https://www.amazon.com/Nurturing-Empowering-Sons-Laurie-Couture-ebook/dp/B0BZ1F9SK2/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1679945003&sr=1-3Quotes mentioned by Laurie during our interview:“I want to sell drugs to everyone. I want to sell drugs to healthy people. I want drugs to sell like chewing gum.” —Henry Gadsden, former CEO of Merck, Fortune magazine, 1976“The way to sell drugs is to sell psychiatric illness.” —Carl Elliot, University of Minnesota Bioethicist (In Shankar Vedantam, July 16, 2001, The Washington Post)For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com

EXCLUSIVE: Join us on August 19th, 2023 at 9AM PST for our first monthly Zoom Session!
Gather with like-minded conscious parents and engage in an alternative dialogue around ADHD, education, parenting, trauma healing and more.
Every month we will select topics and questions submitted by podcast listeners from around the world and discuss them in our Zoom sessions - a group setting designed to empower parents to make informed decisions for their children.
Disclaimer: We are not Medical professionals or Therapists. ADHD IS OVER is not a proven scientific method nor an FDA approved treatment for what the DSM currently calls ADHD.
Our approach simply is an invitation to what we feel is a much needed perspective shift around a disempowering label. It is a ‘what if’ consideration and an alternative approach to a dilemma that even today’s mainstream experts don’t have all the answers to.
So we say: Why not try a different approach? Why not flip the script? Especially if it resonates with us - the parents.
We know our children better than any expert! We are intuitive beings after all and if we trust our internal guidance system, we can perhaps find the answers that we are looking for.

WHY SCIENCE IS NOT AS REAL AS 'THEY' SAY... is a quick episode around the ignorance and high-and-mightiness of so called 'authorities' and experts when it comes to the truth... or 'real' as they call it.
Doctors used to advertise cigarettes, Scientists deemed Deed safe to be sprayed in the streets while kids played, Religious leaders still believe the only access to God is through their religions and churches... and so on!
We have to wake up to the reality that anyone who tells us that they have the absolute truth and that 'the results are in'... is simply ignorant and lying.
Hear for yourself how science has misled us many times before, yet still claims that it is 'real...

FDA BLACK LABEL WARNING ON ADHD MEDS is an exploration and exposure of the hypocritical system that these so-called 'authorities' around mental disorders, medication and treatment have been trying to keep up... but it's all crumbling.
The FDA has finally acknowledged ADHD drugs can cause addiction, even when used as prescribed. The agency is now requiring this information to be added to its black box warning on all stimulant drugs.According to Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), the FDA’s label change regarding addiction is long overdue. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has categorized ADHD drugs as having a “high potential for abuse” (Schedule II) since 1971. Current DEA Schedule II drugs include such highly addictive drugs as morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl.

IS ADHD AN ADDICTION? is an exploration into the world of out-of-control 'distractions'. Since there is a 95% overlap between the symptoms of Trauma and ADHD... we might as well look at the possibility that not being able to control our distractedness might be more of an addiction than a brain disorder.
The APA and the NIH agree that addictions are behavioral disorders and since we call 'ADHD behavior' 'symptoms', we should look deeper into those behaviors that won't allow us to pay attention (aka being distracted).

UNSAFETY is an episode dedicated to our most recent conclusion on what the main cause(s) of ADHD could be... and when we say could be, we are taking pretty much the same stand as the experts in the field: CDC, APA, NIH, etc. They are largely speculating on the exact cause(s) of ADHD. But none of the main stream explanations make sense and none of them are scientifically proven. Sure, there are studies that attempt at telling us that it's 'genetic' or that it's 'for life' or that medication is the 'only effective longterm solution'...In this episode we go way back to the moment of birth and we look at what a baby's nervous system goes through upon arrival and later in childhood leading up to adult hood. Could it be that our society - culture - is the biggest stressor of children?Listen in for yourself and come along for the ride.For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com

ADHD & Reviews is an episode I've been meaning to do for a while, reviewing some of the negative reviews on our podcast. There is always more than meets the eye and I just find it unfair that most negative reviewers didn't take the time to really listen to our podcast or to reach out and ask to have a mature conversation around it. We're always open to do so. Anyway, listen for yourself and see what you think.For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com
ADHD & DIVORCE is a deep exploration into the hypothesis that a lack of self love by one or both parents could be the cause for a child to behave in ways that we label as ADHD.
Hear for yourself and let us know what you think at www.adhdisover.com
ADHD & SELF LOVE is a downloaded hypothesis that explores the relationship between distractions and our lack of self love. What if we are beings of love, present in the moment and able to focus on what's in front of us only when we manage to remove the distractions that keep us from doing so?
What if ADHD is a direct result of a deep lack of self love, due to past unprocessed and unhealed traumas, resulting in a nervous system that's frozen (aka in 'defense mode')?
We are so addicted to distracingt ourselves from ourselves that we have gotten used to the noise of the distractions around us and we haven't started to consciously heal the state of our nervous systems...
Listen in for yourself and enjoy the ride!

ADHD & TANTRA is an episode created to disrupt the linear thinking around what can get a human being to stretch her or his ability to pay attention. What if the most powerful modalities that could help someone with a traumatized nervous system to 'unfreeze' that system are not yet recognized as qualified?
In his book 'The Radiance Sutras', Lorin Roche, PhD explores the notion that Tantra is 'the practice of stretching ourselves, to extend our capacity for attention to the utmost'.
If that's the case, wouldn't it make sense for experts to look into what the practices of Tantra do to a person's nervous system and if over time these practices could cause someone to be more present in life (aka. pay attention)?
Listen in for yourself and see what you think about the connection between ADHD & Tantra.

STOP BEING PROUD OF HAINV ADHD is an episode about the biggest overlooked Stigma: 'The fact that we label people with these behaviors (aka Symptoms) with one of the most disempowering words in the English language - Disorder.'
When we label people with ADHD, we stigmatize them with the biggest stigma there is...
If we really want to 'advocate' for people who struggle with focus in life, we need to fist get rid of the word 'disorder' in ADHD in the DSM and we need to start making it illegal for ADHD experts, authors and doctors to receive funding from pharmaceutical companies. Period. Any other 'activist' work around ADHD is just fluffy self-promoting, elbow-rubbing nicey-nicey nonsense and frankly a pseudo-moralistic stand in order to look good in front of their peers.
Wake up. Cut it out. Get real. Stop the pride.

You can call it 'Comorbidity' but I call it the 'gateway diagnosis'... one thing is for sure... we have way too many [ADHD] children on way too many pharmaceutical drugs! A recent New York Times Article spells it out pretty clearly for even the mainstream nay sayers...

This episode is a deep dive into the scientific 'cherry-picking' that Pharma companies do when promoting their ADHD drugs to parents, featuring my special guest, Israeli scientist practitioner Dr. Yaakov Ophir.
Dr. Ophir is releasing his new book 'ADHD is not an illness and Ritalin is not a cure' shortly and we talked about how his own son was diagnosed at the age of 4 1/2 and told to be on Ritalin. We also further explored a ludicrous study on ADHD & Covid that he and his colleague recently wrote a scientific rebuttal to. Other topics we touched upon include:
- Psychologists' & Experts' conflicts of interest
- Getting attacked by Israeli ADHD experts
- How Science carries the burden of proof and more...
Dr. Ophir is a clinical psychologist at the mental health center of Megilot Regional Council and a research associate at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. His main field of research concerns the relationships between psychopathology and technology.
He develops Artificial Intelligence in the age of big data and digital technology (e.g., suicide risk detection from social media through Artificial Intelligence technologies) as well as the scientific validity of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Dr. Ophir published over 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles and taught several academic courses at the University of Haifa, Reichman University, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Dr. Ophir received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and he is currently working with leading world experts to develop the promising field of Cyber-psychology. His research involves computerized analyses of big-data sets and focuses on the relationships between Internet and Psychopathology. Specifically, Ophir aims to develop machine learning based tools for screening and diagnosing mental health conditions.
In his clinical work, Dr. Ophir served as the director of the National Program for Children and Youth in the dead sea municipality and today he is providing short-term psychodynamic treatments as well as cognitive behavior therapies (CBT) to families and individuals in need. In the past years, following the diagnosis of his own son, Dr. Ophir delved into the field of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Through multiple writings and media interviews (mostly in Hebrew), Ophir, exposed dozens of theoretical and methodological flaws that characterize the research on ADHD and its related clinical practices. In his view, ADHD cannot be categorized as an objective brain deficit or as a psychiatric disorder and therefore he openly declares that ADHD should be removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

This is a very powerful episode with Dr. Peter Breggin MD, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former Consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health who has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his many decades of successful efforts to reform the mental health field. His work provides the foundation for modern criticism of psychiatric diagnoses and drugs and leads the way in promoting more caring and effective therapies.
His research and educational projects have brought about major changes in the FDA-approved ‘Full Prescribing Information' or labels for dozens of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. He continues to educate the public and professions about the tragic psychiatric drugging of America’s children.
Dr. Breggin has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books, including “The Ritalin Fact Book”, “Talking back to Ritalin” and the bestseller Toxic Psychiatry.
As a medical-legal expert, Dr. Breggin has unprecedented and unique knowledge about how the pharmaceutical industry too often commits fraud in researching and marketing psychiatric drugs.
Most recently, Dr. Breggin has turned his attention to the misuse of the science surrounding COVID-19 and its origins in what he calls "global predators." Dr. Breggin and his wife Ginger R. Breggin have written a new book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey.

THE CHRONICALLY THREATENED is an eye-opening episode with the creator of the Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Stephen Porges.
In this episode, Dr. Porges and I talked about how the Polyvagal Theory relates to ADHD and why there is nothing 'wrong' with children who have been diagnosed with these so-called mental disorders (ADHD, ODD, Anxiety, Depression etc.). What if all these children were simply dealing with a nervous system that's locked in 'threat mode', due to chronically occurring traumatic events occurring in their environments. Now, when parents hear words such as threats or trauma, they typically only think of actual threats such as violence, divorce, abuse etc. But as Dr. Porges explains, for a highly sensitive child not much is needed to lock their nervous system while in threat mode...
Listen in and hear for yourself to see if you can relate to what Dr. Porges shares around ADHD and his Polyvagal Theory.
Stephen W. Porges, PhD, is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University, where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium within the Kinsey Institute. He holds the position of Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland.
Dr. Porges served as president of both the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published approximately 300 peer reviewed scientific papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse. His research has been cited in approximately 40,000 peer review publications.
In 1994 Dr. Porges proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe (Norton, 2017),co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018), and Polyvagal Safety (Norton, expected 2021).
Dr. Porges is also the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol™, which currently is used by more than 2000 therapists to improve spontaneous social engagement, to reduce hearing sensitivities, and to improve language processing, state regulation, and spontaneous social engagement.

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE is an intimate conversation with NYT bestselling author Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk about the connection between ADHD & Trauma and about the importance of helping our children co-regulate within their environment.
A psychiatrist by training, Dr. Van Der Kolk has been a pioneer in trauma research for decades now and leads the Trauma Research Foundation. His 2014 book “The Body Keeps the Score,” quickly became a bestseller. And although the book was first released seven years ago, it currently sits at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.
Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and he has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop & study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.
He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. This has included an National Institute of Mental Health funded study on EMDR and a National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine funded study of yoga, and, in recent years, the study of neurofeedback to investigate whether attentional and perceptual systems - and the neural tracks responsible for them - can be altered by changing EEG patterns.

Do You Still Believe in the “Chemical Imbalance Theory of Mental Illness”? (counterpunch.org)
It continues to come as a great surprise for many people to learn that psychiatry’s leading authorities, including the former longtime director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), have discarded the “chemical imbalance theory of mental illness”—an idea which has had a profound impact on millions of emotionally suffering people and on our entire society. Acceptance of the idea that a chemical imbalance causes depression transformed the public’s comfort level about taking antidepressants. With a belief that a chemical imbalance caused their depression, accompanied by repeatedly hearing that Prozac, Zoloft, and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants “work to correct this imbalance,” it seemed irresponsible not to take these antidepressants. So, when exactly did psychiatry discard its chemical imbalance theory? While researchers began jettisoning it by the 1990s, one of psychiatry’s first loud rejections was in 2011, when psychiatrist Ronald Pies, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of the Psychiatric Times, stated: “In truth, the ‘chemical imbalance’ notion was always a kind of urban legend—never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists.” Pies is not the highest-ranking psychiatrist to acknowledge the invalidity of the chemical imbalance theory. Thomas Insel was the NIMH director from 2002 to 2015, and in his recently published book, Healing (2022), he notes, “The idea of mental illness as a ‘chemical imbalance’ has now given way to mental illnesses as ‘connectional’ or brain circuit disorders.” While this latest “brain circuit disorder” theory remains controversial, it is now consensus at the highest levels of psychiatry that the chemical imbalance theory is invalid. The jettisoning of the chemical imbalance theory should have been uncontroversial twenty-five years ago, when it became clear to research scientists that it was a disproved hypothesis. In Blaming the Brain (1998), Elliot Valenstein, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Michigan, detailed research showing that it is just as likely for people with normal serotonin levels to feel depressed as it is for people with abnormal serotonin levels, and that it is just as likely for people with abnormally high serotonin levels to feel depressed as it is for people with abnormally low serotonin levels. Valenstein concluded, “Furthermore, there is no convincing evidence that depressed people have a serotonin or norepinephrine deficiency.” But how many Americans heard about this? Ronald Pies claimed in the Psychiatric Times in 2014 that the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the guild of American psychiatrists, fulfilled its obligation to inform the general public with a 2000 public statement that begins: “The exact causes of mental disorders are unknown, but an explosive growth of research has brought us closer to the answers.” Pies did acknowledge that psychiatry should have been clearer and louder, “Shouldn’t psychiatrists in positions of influence have made greater efforts to knock down the chemical imbalance hypothesis, and to present a more sophisticated understanding of mental illness to the general public? Probably so.” Apparently, authorities at the highest levels have long known that the chemical imbalance theory was a disproven hypothesis, but they have viewed it as a useful “noble lie” to encourage medication use.

This is an episode with Dr. Bruce Lipton, an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A stem cell biologist, the bestselling author of “The Biology of Belief” and a recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, Dr. Lipton has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as a keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating through the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off.
His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes, predicted one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics.
This is especially of interest to our ADHD movement since the field of epigenetics essentially proves that ADHD is not a so-called ‘genetic disorder’ and that nobody is predetermined to have it and in the worst-case scenario simply predisposed to it. But the power is with our minds and our ability to change our environments to better serve our individual human life experiences.
Listen in to hear my conversation with the world's most passionate biologist I know, Dr. Bruce Lipton!! If you're into splitting atoms around ADHD and genes, I promise you that this is your episode!

ADHD MEDICATION & VIOLENCE is an episode designed to make parents aware of the dangerous effects of stimulant drugs for ADHD.
In 2006, the FDA’s ADHD psychiatric review team called for stronger warnings on ADHD drugs after a safety review found almost 1,000 case reports of psychosis (including hallucinations) or mania related to Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin and Strattera submitted to the agency by drug makers between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2005. These symptoms came in children with “no identifiable risk factors, at usual doses of any of the drugs used to treat ADHD.”
There was a “complete absence” of these ADHD medication side effects in children treated with dummy pills during clinical trials and in many children the symptoms stopped when the drugs were withdrawn and resumed when they were restarted. In addition to the case reports submitted by manufacturers, there were 560 reports of psychosis or mania submitted to the FDA via its MedWatch reporting system. It is estimated that only about 1% of adverse side effects are reported to the FDA. This suggests that over 100,000 children diagnosed with ADHD may have become psychotic or manic while taking ADHD drugs during this five- and-a-half year period.
The same safety review reported “numerous postmarketing reports of aggression or violent behavior during drug therapy of ADHD.” In approximately 20% of the cases the behavior was considered life-threatening or required hospitalization. The majority of the reports of ADHD violent behavior were for children and adolescents, most of whom had “no specific risk factors for aggression or violent behavior.” According to the report, “a striking majority (80 to 90% overall) of patients … had no prior history of similar events.” Drug makers submitted over 1,400 reports of ADHD aggression or violent behavior, with over 700 additional cases reported to MedWatch.
The FDA report establishes an unmistakable tie between ADHD medication and violence.
In 2010, Thomas Moore, a senior scientist at the Institute for Safe Medical Practice (ISMP) and Joseph Glenmullen, a Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, published a joint study on prescription medication-induced violence, finding that 31 prescription medications are disproportionately linked to reports of violent behavior. In the study, Moore and Glenmullen extracted serious adverse event reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System, searching for any drugs with 200 or more case reports received from 2004 to 2009.
They selected any reports that indicated homicide, homicidal ideation, physical assault, physical abuse or violence-related symptoms, and then used mathematical and statistical methods to identify drugs that were significantly more associated with those reports compared to other drugs. Out of 484 medications they evaluated, 31 (6%) were significantly more associated with violence. All but seven of the drugs were psychiatric drugs.
The medications below were the most strongly associated with violent adverse events: Varenicline (Chantix, Fluoxetine (Prozac, Paroxetine (Paxil, Amphetamines, Mefoquine (Lariam, Atomoxetine (Strattera), Triazolam (Halcion), Fluvoxamine (Luvox), Venlafaxine (Effexor), Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq)
Parents and the public have a right to know what psychiatric drugs do in the brain, the side effects of taking and withdrawing from these medications, and the medical basis — or lack thereof — behind the skyrocketing numbers of children being prescribed these drugs.

MOMMA KNOWS BEST is a heartfelt episode with Lauren Thomas, a community health educator who builds greenways and trails in her local community.
Lauren is also a mom of an 8-year-old son who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD by her own pursuit. Through the journey of this diagnosis process, Lauren began to reflect on how it isn’t her child who has a disorder, but instead that he’s a participant of a disordered, attention-sucking cultural environment.
Lauren offers a perspective on how the natural world can teach us about human development, including celebrating phenomenology in plants and in minds, and considering childhood as a greenhouse. Lauren and I are going to talk about how a long term work project kept her away from being present with her son, why she started to question the main stream narrative around ADHD and what’s next for her son and her family after the initial diagnosis.

GOOD SCIENCE OR GOOD MARKETING is my reading and interpretation of Jonathan Leo's 2000 SKEPTIC magazine article entitled 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Good Science or Good Marketing.'
In this article Leo asks the most important questions that are simply not to be ignored if we're really after the discovery of the true causes and the most effective treatments for ADHD. There simply aren't enough valid and applicable studies to prove the points that the main stream experts are making around ADHD. Unfortunately, those incomplete and one-sided narratives have most parents quickly turn to stimulant medications as the quick fix solution for their children.
Listen in and hear for yourself how Big Pharma's ADHD marketing departments are clearly putting the [marketing] cart before the [science] horse.

DOPESICK is a short episode about the Hulu show of the same name, telling the true story of Purdue Pharma and the release of their pain killing opioid 'OxyContin'.
I wanted to explore a healthline article that talks about the same pharmaceutical company pushing a time-released ADHD medication called 'Adhansia XR'. Could it be that when it comes to ADHD medication that Purdue cleaned up their act in just a few years? Could we count on them not to use the same shady tactics they used on their Oxycontin release for Adhansia?
Listen in and judge for yourself... we think it's worth a listen and a reflection.

THE BIG CONTRADICTION is about... well, a really big contradiction that the National Institute of Health here in the US shows on their own website when it comes to the science around ADHD.
On one hand, they answer the question 'What is the cause of ADHD?' with: "“Finally, after years of clinical research and experience with ADHD, our knowledge about the cause or causes of ADHD remains largely speculative.”
On the other hand, when referring to the ACE study on their website, they state: "“Children with ADHD have higher Adverse Childhood Experiences exposure compared with children without ADHD. There was a significant association between ACE score, ADHD, and moderate to severe ADHD.”
So, it seems that while their top scientists and experts are still 'largely speculating' the science has already been in since the early 1990's...
This sort of contradiction at the highest level by our mental health science experts & agencies certainly doesn't give us parents any kind of peace of mind that could trust them, does it now?
Listen for yourself and make up your mind along the way... and remember to always question what the so-called experts tell you - on both sides!

FINISH WHAT YOU START is a wonderful and intricate episode with French-Canadian Hypnotherapist Meggie Houle.
Meggie is a certified master hypnotist and member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. She is certified as an energy medicine practitioner who helps people with ADHD get things done. After overcoming her own set of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder with hypnosis and self-hypnosis, she not only found relief from her past experiences, but also from the blocks that were causing her own ADHD to be mismanaged. Meggie has trained with many experts in the field of trauma and inherited family trauma. She bases her approach of healing the symptoms of ADD on proven neuroscience methodology.

A FICTITIOUS DISEASE is an episode on how researching the 'father' of ADHD Dr. Leon Eisenberg deathbed statement "ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease" led me to Harvard professor Dr. Jerome Kagan (RIP 2021) and his critique on ADHD being an invention.
Jerome Kagan was not only a tenured professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the world; he was also considered one of the world’s best psychologists. In fact, his fellow academics ranked Kagan the 22nd most eminent psychologist of the 20th century. This ranking put the good professor ahead of Carl Jung (Yes – THAT Carl Jung), who was ranked 23rd.
So, if anyone has earned the right to critique one of the most diagnosed mental health conditions in existence, it’s Jerome Kagan. And critique the condition, he did.
Kagan didn’t believe that ADHD is a real condition. That’s right, Kagan’s position was that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a complete hoax. Needless to say, Kagan’s proclamation has ruffled a lot of feathers. Psychologists and other medical professionals have gone on the offensive, attempting to discredit Kagan’s statements. However, Kagan stands firm in his position.
See and hear for yourself what Dr. Leon Eisenberg and Jerome Kagan think of ADHD as a mental disorder:

OVERDIAGNOSED? NO DOUBT! Is a bit of an homage to a chapter in Alan Schwarz' book "ADHD NATION", where he describes the taping of a self-development talk show "The Revolution" hosted by Ty Pennington as it really is a disguised operation by Big Pharma and Dr. Ned Hallowell to sell more ADHD medication. Listen for yourself and see how advertising and media like this can cause people to 'self-diagnose' themselves and add to the clear over diagnosis of this so-called 'disorder'.
It saddens me and often pains me to find out that our main scientists, doctors and experts at the top do not invest much time and energy in actually finding out why we overdiagnose our children, even thought most of the same experts agree that it is "...definitely Overdiagnosed."
Listen in for yourself and see what you think.

ADHD IS NOT EXIST? is an homage to a personal hero of mine, Dr. Richard Saul, MD. Dr. Saul was a pediatrician and neurologist who took a controversial stand on the common problem referred to as ADHD — attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — in his 2014 book, “ADHD Does Not Exist: The Truth about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.”
Saul understood that his stand would be provocative, but his intent was not to deny the existence of symptoms or the problems children and some adults face — he described 20 in the book — but rather to put the focus on identifying and treating those with the symptoms, and not just lumping them under a black cloud called ADHD.
“With over fifty years of experience,” Saul said in his book, “I’ve concluded that the only way to make long-term progress in eliminating a patient’s ADHD-related symptoms, is to find the cause of these symptoms.” Saul, 83, died of a heart attack Aug. 14 in his home in downtown Chicago. RIP Dr. Saul. You did great work to improve the future of our children! I promise you I will keep standing on your shoulders! Thank You! Much love, peace and eternal rest!

WAKING UP FROM ADHD is a phrase borrowed from my guest Kurtis Mercer. Kurtis is an empowerment coach who aids in deep inner work for people who wish to free themselves from the victim mentality label of ADHD so that they can embody inner confidence, courage, and passion for their lives. His diagnosis of ADHD at the age of seven caused him to struggle with personal identity for most of his life. This exasperated his mental illness leading him to abuse drugs and alcohol in his teens and mid 20's. The lessons Kurtis learned from overcoming and conquering his mental illness have now equipped him at the age of thirty to help others call themselves “their own personal hero”. Kurtis' unconventional methods of teaching personal growth & development have set him apart from the more traditional approach represented in the main stream. He is proud to call himself a revolutionary, a black sheep & the youngest of his the family.
Kurtis and I dove deep into the abyss of ADHD, medication, labels, mass hypnosis around the disorder and more... listen in for yourself to hear if you might be someone or know someone who is asleep around ADHD.

SWITCHING SCHOOLS is an episode inspired by one of our listeners - Danielle. We thank our listeners for inspiring us to do certain episodes n topics that we often touch upon through various other episodes.
In this episode I am recounting our son's educational journey all the way from his first days at daycare to his current school. We switched schools 5 times and we were committed to find the right education style for our son to have the least amount friction with.
We believe that when we remove as much friction as we have control over - and we have way more control than we believe in certain areas - that we help 'dissolve' our children's mental disorder symptoms... after all, symptoms are observed behaviors. And when we ask 'why' a child behaves a certain way, we can address what's really going on in the child's life instead of calling them disordered and making them the problem.
Listen in for yourself and see if you resonate with any of the nuggets in this talk.

DEBUNKING THE SCIENCE BEHIND ADHD as a "Brain Disorder" is an episode in which I decided to read a letter from Dr. Albert Galves, Ph.D. & Dr. David D. Walker, Ph.D. to Dr. Rubenstein of The [ADHD] Brochure Project at the APA in 2003.
Their letter is a description of the flaws in the scientific evidence that is used to support the belief that ADHD is a neuro-chemical disorder that is present from birth and that has nothing to do with inadequate nurturance during childhood, difficult family environments or oppressive and inhumane educational and community environments. It also describes the harm that is done by these beliefs and the treatment approaches based on them.
Their letter, which is signed by members of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP) and psychologist/members of the American Psychological Association, is a reply to a letter of March 17, 2002 which was sent by Dr. Alice Rubenstein to Dr. Albert Galves, a member of ICSPP.
Dr. Rubenstein was the Director of The Brochure Project, a joint effort of Division 29 (Psychotherapy) of the APA and Celltech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to publish and distribute brochures on Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
In a letter of February 16, 2002, Dr. Galves had expressed concerns about the following three statements that appear in the brochures:
1) “ADD/ADHD is generally considered a neuro-chemical disorder.”
2) “Most people with ADD/ADHD are born with the disorder, though it may not be recognized until adulthood.”
3) “ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, a difficult family environment, poor teaching or inadequate nutrition.”
In her reply, Dr. Rubenstein included information and supporting references provided to her by Drs. Robert Resnick and Kallman Heller of Division 29.
The letter that we link to below was drafted by Dr. Galves (agalves@saludclinic.org) and Dr. David Walker (dwalker@yak.Portland.ihs.gov) of the ICSPP.

CONNECTION VS. CORRECTION is a powerful episode with fellow ADHDer Aaron Huey, the founder of the Fire Mountain Residential treatment Center.
Aaron has been working with children, teens, and parents for over 18 years. After ten years directing camps and empowerment programs around the world, Aaron opened Fire Mountain because he wanted to work with kids and families on a deeper level.
Over the first few years of running programs like Teen Rites of Passage The Warrior Phoenix Challenge, and numerous cries for help from parents, Aaron realized the need to turn his efforts towards teens struggling with drugs, alcohol and the behaviors and issues related to addiction. An addict in recovery since 2000, he felt a calling to put together an expert team and open Fire Mountain. His mission is to awaken confidence and leadership. “It‘s not about being better, it‘s about giving up the struggle to be different from who you are.”
Aaron’s formal educational background is in acting. He graduated from the top acting school in the US, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1990. His skills in comedy and drama make him an influential speaker and presenter, and a favorite among the kids. His confidence, compassion, and humor set the tone for deep healing, and fun.
Aaron is also trained as an EMT, a Wilderness Survival Instructor and Martial Arts teacher, all of which he weaves into the Fire Mountain RTC curriculum.
We chatted about ADHD, trauma, family history, education and more.

IS ADHD A COPING MECHANISM is an episode inspired by our 6 year of research into ADHD and the realization that stressors in the environment have the biggest impact on a person's nervous system, therefore also their brain and ultimately their behaviors.
Often, ADHDers are said to more likely become 'addicts'... but why? Because they have ADHD? But ADHD is a label for a set of symptoms that are based on observed behavior? So, therefore an addict becomes and addict because of the way their brain is connected. What caused a brain to become an addict brain?
I believe it is a coping mechanism that helps a person escape their emotional burdens, their traumas, stress etc.
Here is the definition of a coping mechanism according to Dictionary.com:
"An adaptation to environmental stress that is based on conscious or unconscious choice and that enhances control over behavior or gives psychological comfort.
Listen in and hear for yourself why I decided to explore this claim. I think there is something here worth exploring for science, medicine and psychology... but are they willing to?

DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN & MOTIVATION is an in-depth review of a 2014 NCBI/NLM/NIH online paper published by Dr. Tiffany M. Love, a researcher at the Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute, University of Michigan. This article explored the connection between Oxytocin, Dopamine and Motivation.
What if people with ADHD do not have low dopamine levels because they 'have ADHD'... but rather because the relationship between their Oxytocin and Dopamine is not in balance.
What if ADHD is not due to having a 'chemical imbalance' in the brain? But rather due to an imbalance of certain chemicals, due to a lack of other chemicals?

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE is a wonderful episode with author Ann Hince. At age 19, Ann woke up one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom.
Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Over the years, Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - what she calls Insight, or inward-sight. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.
Ann is the author of the book ‘A Pathway to Insight’, which details her journey and breaks down the steps she took to attain what she calls Insight, or the ability to see within the body. She also has a YouTube channel where she shares her journey, explains the connection between the physical and the spiritual, and posts videos of how to change the pressing issues of our time.

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE is an intimate conversation with NYT bestselling author Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk about the connection between ADHD & Trauma and about the importance of helping our children co-regulate within their environment.
A psychiatrist by training, Dr. Van Der Kolk has been a pioneer in trauma research for decades now and leads the Trauma Research Foundation. His 2014 book “The Body Keeps the Score,” quickly became a bestseller. And although the book was first released seven years ago, it currently sits at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.
Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and he has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop & study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.
He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. This has included an National Institute of Mental Health funded study on EMDR and a National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine funded study of yoga, and, in recent years, the study of neurofeedback to investigate whether attentional and perceptual systems - and the neural tracks responsible for them - can be altered by changing EEG patterns.

WHY FULL SURRENDER IS KEY is an episode in which I share a recent breakthrough with surrendering to life.
What is 'surrender', according to Merriam Webster: "To yield to the power, control, or possession of another upon compulsion or demand."
During our 7 years of research, I had never fully surrendered to life. Therefore, the results me and my family had achieved were really good... but not great and definitely short of amazing! Yet since I've had this breakthrough, my own happiness and that of my wife and my children has increased noticeably. Why did I not see it? What was I waiting for? What was I thinking? But more importantly...
Why is surrender so important when it comes to having children with ADHD? What can you do to surrender to this so-called disorder, the diagnosis and even your child's most despised behaviors?
Listen in and hear for yourself why surrender is so important on your family's journey to uncover what ADHD is for you.

THE CHRONICALLY THREATENED is an eye-opening episode with the creator of the Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Stephen Porges.
In this episode, Dr. Porges and I talked about how the Polyvagal Theory relates to ADHD and why there is nothing 'wrong' with children who have been diagnosed with these so-called mental disorders (ADHD, ODD, Anxiety, Depression etc.). What if all these children were simply dealing with a nervous system that's locked in 'threat mode', due to chronically occurring traumatic events occurring in their environments. Now, when parents hear words such as threats or trauma, they typically only think of actual threats such as violence, divorce, abuse etc. But as Dr. Porges explains, for a highly sensitive child not much is needed to lock their nervous system while in threat mode...
Listen in and hear for yourself to see if you can relate to what Dr. Porges shares around ADHD and his Polyvagal Theory.
Stephen W. Porges, PhD, is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University, where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium within the Kinsey Institute. He holds the position of Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland.
Dr. Porges served as president of both the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published approximately 300 peer reviewed scientific papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse. His research has been cited in approximately 40,000 peer review publications.
In 1994 Dr. Porges proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe (Norton, 2017),co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018), and Polyvagal Safety (Norton, expected 2021).
Dr. Porges is also the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol™, which currently is used by more than 2000 therapists to improve spontaneous social engagement, to reduce hearing sensitivities, and to improve language processing, state regulation, and spontaneous social engagement.

ADHD MEDS: SAFE & EFFECTIVE? is an episode that analyzes the process that parents of children who have been diagnosed with ADHD will have to go through... to trust or not to trust? And where does our trust come from? And is it blind trust in external sources or authentic, internal trust that comes from our internal guidance system?
And what does 'safe' actually mean? And are they telling the truth? What does 'effective' mean? And effective for what? And for what not?
These are all questions I wanted to address with this episode. Listen in and see for yourself where your own trust comes from, whether it's to take a Covid vaccine or an ADHD Drug... you have to come up with some form of trust before you throw your hat over the fence...

I'M NOT BROKEN. I'M UNFOLDING. is a new episode that explores the notion that if we'd let our children unfold instead of trying to mold them into who we think they should become... we'd have happier children, happier families and ultimately happier communities.

WHY DEFEND ADHD? is a powerful rant on why society has been fighting hard to keep this disorder, its label, its system and its current so-called top experts in place.
We desperately need an overhaul on this matter, yet common folks who've been diagnosed and labeled are defending their own condition with tooth and nails. How come? Is it really empowering to defend a mental disorder that's based on observed behaviors? Or would it be more empowering perhaps to denounce the disorder and dig deeper to see why those behaviors show up in the first place?
Well, you might be thinking... "I have those behaviors because I have ADHD." But that is not scientifically possible since ADHD was invented as a disorder by humans and your behaviors could not possibly be caused by such a made up disorder. Sure, the struggles are real, but they are due to the friction between an individual and their environment... so, the only power we got is to change the environment to further soothe a person and have them dissolve their ADHD symptoms. Don't think it's possible? Well, listen in on this episode and see for yourself if you're part of the problem or the solution.

IF ONLY WE KNEW! is a powerful episode about the story of Jyle, a young Australian man who got diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager. His parents Vanessa and Troy who I interviewed for this episode were told by 'experts' to medicate their son with stimulant drugs. Not knowing about the possible negative side effects of Ritalin and only having their son's best interest in mind, they decided to put Jyle on Ritalin. Jyle soon became terribly addicted to Ritalin after thinking that it was the answer to all of his struggles ... he became a focused superman and someone that was 'acceptable' in social circles and at school. After 4 years of substance abuse and self sabotage, Jyle was no longer like himself and he was extremely unhappy. After Ritalin came other drugs and eventually alcohol, all in the attempt to stay 'powerful' and 'accepted'...
Today, Jyle is in rehab to shake his addiction to alcohol and drugs, planning a successful career as a music producer and artists.
We know Jyle will turn his life around, there is no doubt. He has the most supportive parents who will guide him to success. But the struggle that the family has been through due to the disruption that Jyle's dependency on Ritalin has created has lost valuable time and energy that they will never get back.
When experts use the words 'safe & effective', please don't take their word for it. Remember, cigarettes used to be advertised by doctors and hailed as safe & effective... please do your own research and look at both sides!
Here is a link to an article of Berkley professor and researcher Nadine Lambert, outlining her 27 year study on the long term effects on Ritalin - these results were not well received by the 'pro-med' side: https://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/5-5-1999.html

THE DAY HAS COME is a deep reflection on why things are shifting around this antiquated view of children's behaviors that we label as ADHD. More and more people are waking up and trusting their intuition. There is more than meets the eye and these so-called 'experts' on ADHD are starting to loose their grip... especially when they try to shut down the debates. Medicine and Science are supposed to continue in looking for the truth, not shut down debates by extremely credible sources. But guess what... the day has come! The tipping point is near.
Listen in and hear for yourself and let it all resonate. After all, great things have always happened after a great shift.

PUTTING THE CHILD BACK IN CHILDHOOD is an interview with Carl Honoré, a bestselling author, broadcaster and the global voice of the 'Slow Movement'. His two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views.
Could it be that the immense pressures we’ve been putting on our children to ‘succeed in life’ are often the cause for mental disorders like ADHD?
Could it be that simply slowing down in life and putting more value on calm, focus, energy, connection, purpose creativity and pleasure could make the symptoms of ADHD dissolve over time?
Well, those are exactly the kinds of questions Carl and I discussed during this recording.
Carl’s first book, 'In Praise of Slow', chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what 'Das Kapital' is to communism.”
Carl’s second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.”
Carl’s third book, 'The Slow Fix', explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.
Carl’s latest book, 'Bolder: Making The Most Of Our Longer Lives', explores aging – how we can do it better and feel better about doing it. It’s also a spirited manifesto against ageism.
Published in 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina’s version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. Bolder was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Reader’s Digest (UK) Book of the Month.
Carl fronted a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia’s ABC 1.
Carl is an advisor to Jack Media, which makes messaging apps, and sits on the Board of Trustees of Hewitt School in New York City.
Carl lives in London. While researching his first book on slowness he was slapped with a speeding ticket...

BOYS ADRIFT: WHY ADHD IS DEFINITELY OVERDIAGNOSED is a powerful episode with Dr. Leonard Sax, author of 'Boys Adrift', 'Girls on the Edge', 'Why Gender matters' and 'The Collapse of parenting'.
We talked about the reasons for the overdiagnosis of children with ADHD and about the type of medications that have harmful longterm effects on children's motivation center in the brain (nucleus accumbens). Most experts are not aware of the studies that clearly show that children medicated with methamphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, Focalin) show a higher lack of motivation in the long term than children medicated with methylphenidates such as Concerta, Focalin or Quillivant.
Oh, and we also talked about the financial ties that many ADHD experts have to pharmaceutical companies, especially institutions such as Harvard Medical School... I think you'll like this episode very much so!
Dr. Sax earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from MIT, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in five semesters at the age of 19. He then went on to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned both his PhD in psychology, and his MD. Next he did a 3-year residency in family practice at Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster Pennsylvania. In 1990, he established a family practice in Montgomery County Maryland, just outside Washington DC. He provided care for children and adults in Montgomery County for more than 18 years. He took a 5-year sabbatical, 2008 to 2013, to devote himself full-time to visiting schools and communities, and to writing. He returned to clinical practice in 2013 near his home in Chester County, Pennsylvania, while continuing to lead workshops and give keynotes based on his visits to more than 460 communities over the past 20 years. Dr. Sax has led workshops and given keynotes not only all across North America – from California to Nova Scotia and from Alaska to Florida – but also in Australia, Bermuda, England, Germany, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, and Switzerland.

WHY NOT TO USE ADHD AS AN EXCUSE is an episode that looks at the notion that some people use having ADHD as an excuse to explain why they fall short of being a well-functioning person... "Oh, it's my ADHD [that had me be late, forget my homework, etc.].
Parents often make excuses for their children when in public. Why could this be not only not useful, but also harmful for the future of a child's self esteem and self worth...

YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN IS NOT A FERRARI ENGINE is an episode that dissects the silly and surface level metaphors that parents hear over and over again, attempting to explain to them what their [ADHD] child's brain is like. We call BS on this.
Here is a link to the site of the creator of such metaphor, Dr. Hallowell'. https://drhallowell.com/2019/04/05/your-adhd-brain-is-a-ferrari/

THE DISORDER FORMERLY KNOW AS... is an episode that not only explains that our movement's name is a declaration - much like the declaration of independence was - but that it's 110% possible that in 5-10 years, ADHD will be over! What do I mean by that? Well, listen in for yourself to see what I tell people who confront us by saying "ADHD is not over and it will never be over", or "You don't know what you're talking about..."
It is very common that mental disorders changed names over time. ADHD is a good example of that. In 1902, British pediatrician Sir George Still described these symptoms as “an abnormal defect of moral control in children”. He found that some affected children could not control their behavior the way a typical child would, but they were still intelligent.
The APA issued the first “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” (DSM) in 1952. This manual listed all of the recognized mental disorders. It also included known causes, risk factors, and treatments for each condition. Doctors still use an updated version today.
The APA did not recognize ADHD in the first edition. A second DSM was published in 1968. This edition included "hyperkinetic impulse disorder" for the first time.
The APA released a third edition of the DSM (DSM-III) in 1980. They changed the name of the disorder from "hyperkinetic impulse disorder" to "attention deficit disorder" (ADD). Scientists believed hyperactivity was not a common symptom of the disorder. This listing created two subtypes of ADD: ADD with hyperactivity, and ADD without hyperactivity.
As you can tell, several versions of what we now know as ADHD were at some point in history 'over'... so, it's totally possible that ADHD will be over soon. We give it 5-10 years max!

HEALING ADHD : IT'S AN INSIDE JOB is an exploration of why outsourcing the healing of mental disorders is not effective. The only way to truly 'heal' the ADHD behaviors of our children is to look inside... inside the family, inside the parents, and inside our children's world.
Only when we turn inward can we truly bring wholesomeness to our children. As a matter of fact, it's the only responsible thing to do. Outsourcing the healing is literally 'irresponsible'... as in 'not responding powerfully and with sovereignty to the situation.
Listen in and hear for yourself what there is to do, should you want to truly heal your child's behaviors as a result of the friction in her or his environment.

DAD ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER is a very powerful episode with Dr. Peter Breggin MD, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former Consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health who has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his many decades of successful efforts to reform the mental health field. His work provides the foundation for modern criticism of psychiatric diagnoses and drugs and leads the way in promoting more caring and effective therapies.
His research and educational projects have brought about major changes in the FDA-approved ‘Full Prescribing Information' or labels for dozens of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. He continues to educate the public and professions about the tragic psychiatric drugging of America’s children.
Dr. Breggin has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books, including “The Ritalin Fact Book”, “Talking back to Ritalin” and the bestseller Toxic Psychiatry.
As a medical-legal expert, Dr. Breggin has unprecedented and unique knowledge about how the pharmaceutical industry too often commits fraud in researching and marketing psychiatric drugs.
Most recently, Dr. Breggin has turned his attention to the misuse of the science surrounding COVID-19 and its origins in what he calls "global predators." Dr. Breggin and his wife Ginger R. Breggin have written a new book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey.

THE DIAGNOSIS SURVIVAL GUIDE is an in-depth episode on how parents can at first 'survive' the initial [ADHD] diagnosis of their child, especially if they're open-minded enough to not jump into camp 'coping' right away.
It takes an emotionally intelligent parent to sit with the impact, feel the emotions and then start doing the type of research that includes both sides of the debate.

ADHD & ADDICTION is a short episode around the myth that [unmedicated] children with ADHD will most likely end up 'self-medicating later in life... that is simply not true and there are loads of studies and scientific evidence out there that refutes those claims. Yet parents are still told so. Why?
Addicts are not addicts because they're addicts. People with ADHD don't have ADHD because of ADHD.

COMPULSORY COMPLIANCE DISORDER is an in-depth exploration of what we are essentially doing to our children by 'sedating' them into compliance with our school systems, our labels, and medication.
We think we got it figured out and that by labeling our children with mental disorders such as ADHD, we're doing them a favor... we oughta really rethink this outdated approach to symptoms. If we don't change the course of this 'mental health' epidemic, we'll be in for a rude awakening.

THERE IS NO ADHD GENE is an episode with my guest Dr. Bruce Lipton, an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A stem cell biologist, the bestselling author of “The Biology of Belief” and a recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, Dr. Lipton has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as a keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating through the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off.
His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes, predicted one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics.
This is especially of interest to our ADHD movement since the field of epigenetics essentially proves that ADHD is not a so-called ‘genetic disorder’ and that nobody is predetermined to have it and in the worst-case scenario simply predisposed to it. But the power is with our minds and our ability to change our environments to better serve our individual human life experiences.
Listen in to hear my conversation with the world's most passionate biologist I know, Dr. Bruce Lipton!! If you're into splitting atoms around ADHD and genes, I promise you that this is your episode!

PRISONERS OF ADHD is a damn powerful espisode with Fritzi Horstman - a fellow ADHDer and the Founder and Executive Director of CPP, the Compassion Prison Project . CPP is an organization dedicated to bringing compassion, childhood trauma awareness and creative inspiration to all men and women living and working in prisons.
With 95% of the incarcerated men and women eventually returning home, Fritzi believes it is imperative that we address the chronic mental health issues in prison with common sense, compassion and urgency. In 2020 Fritzi directed “Step Inside the Circle” at California State Prison – Los Angeles County with 235 incarcerated men. The video has reached nearly 3 million views worldwide and has attracted over 900 volunteers to CPP.
Fritzi and the team at CPP are currently creating a 6-part series entitled “Trauma Talks” to be distributed to prisons in the US and abroad. Fritzi produced HBO’s “The Defiant Ones” directed by Allen Hughes which has garnered several awards including a Grammy for Best Music Film.

YOUR PRESENCE IS EVERYTHING is a powerful and enlightening conversation with Author, speaker and consultant Jim Shiels. Jim is the co-founder of board meetings international, a company that specializes in parent/child retreats, using a combination of experiential education and fun activities, like surfing and other oceanfront adventures to teach vital life lessons not taught in schools. Jim's book, 'The Family Board Meeting' was ranked as a number 1 parenting Kindle book on Amazon and in this episode, Jim shared some key concepts from his work, including why Family Board meetings matter, the effects they have on our children, the difference between paying attention to a child versus giving a child our full presence and Jim and I discussed the possible reason why so many entrepreneurs have been diagnosed with ADHD.
Diagnosed during his childhood with ADHD and a brief and destructive experience with stimulant medication, Jim has since embraced his superpower and he thinks that we're all unique and most of us entrepreneurs are just not made to sit still at a desk and follow orders. Hence, we create our own businesses and thrive that way. But entrepreneurs often struggle with allocating enough time to spend with their families.
We talked about the concept of 'paying attention', spending scheduled quality time with each child once every quarter.
Listen in and hear for yourself some nuggets of wisdom that Jim shared with me!

HOW [NOT] TO ADHD is an exposé on how many experts out there in the 'Coping Camp' cherry-pick studies to suit their own agendas. Furthermore, many slogans and terms have been loosely thrown around by experts & activists alike.
In this episode, we explore the saying "People with ADHD have a harder time with rejections", as well as "People with ADHD are more likely to end up doing drugs, get in trouble and even end up in jail - because of their ADHD."
When we dig deeper into these type of statements, we quickly see that it's all none sense and not really addressing what's going on in the lives of these children (or adults). It's not the ADHD, its the friction in their lives that cause them to show traits that will quickly get labeled and diagnosed as a 'disorder'.

PARENTING: THE CAUSE AND THE CURE is a powerful rant on the importance of parenting. ADHD is not genetic in the sense that it is predetermined. One can be predisposed to the traits of ADHD, but the study of epigenetics clearly shows that the environment is 100% responsible for turning on or off someone's genes. Hence, parenting is the most powerful force when consciously done to turn on or off those genes. Sure, education, nutrition, heavy metals, video game exposure, sleep etc. all play a part in the environment of a child. But no part of that environment is as important as parenting.
Even though pharmaceutical companies have coined and pushed the expression: "ADHD is not due to bad parenting", we are big believers that while it's not due to 'bad' parenting, it's definitely due to 'unconscious parenting'. Letting parents off the hook by telling them that there is nothing they can do about ADHD and that they had nothing to do with it is simply supporting the idea of 'irresponsible parents' who fall victims to the interests of powerful groups who benefit from making children dependent on stimulant drugs or other external therapies and coping strategies, ultimately sentencing them to a 'disordered life.'
Listen in and hear for yourself what parents can do to dissolve their children's ADHD traits (aka behaviors) that are essentially direct reactions to a child's struggles with their environment.
The struggles are real. The [disempowering] label doesn't have to be!

FREE TO LEARN is a radically insightful conversation with Peter Gray, an American psychology researcher, and scholar. Peter is a research professor of psychology at Boston College and the author of an introductory psychology textbook. He is known for his book 'Free to Learn' (translated into 18 languages) and his work on the interaction between education and play, and his evolutionary perspective on psychology theory.
Peter sat down with us to discuss the history of education, its flaws, the power of child-led education and the importance of nurturing our children and to see play as their main way to learn and develop.
Could it be that ADHD is a result of a 'too rigid' and outdated conveyor-belt, one-size-fits-all, starved-of-play type of learning environment?
ADHD sure did not exist prior to western society's [industrial revolution era] classrooms...

NO MORE PITY PARTIES IN VICTIMHOOD is an exploration of why people with ADHD aren't yet fed up with being labeled as 'disordered', 'less than normal', 'doomed for life' etc.
Prior to 1973 being homosexual was considered a disorder according to the DSM... it wasn't until this minority stood up and revolted against being labeled with such non-sense.
So, how come the ADHD community is just fine being labeled with a disorder when in fact it's not? What needs to happen for people sto stand up and grab the bullhorn from the American Psychiatric Association that's been promoting this one-sided and incomplete narrative?
What it's going to take is actually fairly simple. Not easy, but simple... listen in and judge for yourself.

SAY IT AIN'T SO is a short rant about my frustration with these so-called distinguished and award-winning experts who simply refuse to look under the hood when it comes to the real causes of ADHD.
Children are the check engine lights of their families and experts repeatedly refuse to see what's actually going on in their environments and most of the time simply want parents to slap a band-aid on these much deeper wounds... it's the equivalent of putting a piece of masking tape over the check engine light, pretending that the engine of the car is now fine because you can't see the light anymore...

ADRIAN TURNED OUT is the heart-wrenching, thrilling and ultimately wonderful and happy-ending story of entrepreneur Adrian. He told me his story from a brutal and messy divorce when he was 5, all the way to anger, drugs, run-ins with the law, arson, jail time and more... in just 1 hour we get to witness the damage that an imbalanced and traumatic upbringing can have on a child that's diagnosed with ADHD and medicated.
It's been debunked over and over that children with ADHD when not medicated will self-medicate later in life. That's simply BS. In Adrian's case as in the case of so many countless others we've interviewed, it is becoming more and more clear to us that giving a young child stimulant drugs (schedule 2) creates a gateway for them to do more drugs later in life.
Listen in and judge for yourself. Get ready for lots of excitement, heart-brake, vulnerability, passion, and love!

ATTENTION DEPLETED CHILDREN explores the notion that if we don't give our kids the right attention, they will feel depleted of it and can't 'pay attention' elsewhere in life. They will 'act out' and we will make them the problem, versus asking ourselves why they might be 'acting out'...
What if our children were like little bank accounts and the currency we deposit and withdraw is attention? Wouldn't we wanna make sure that we don't withdraw more than we deposit? What kind of attention do we need to deposit?
Join me as I dive deep into the meaning of attention, love and most of all acceptance.

THE FAMILY'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT is an episode that looks at our innate obedient auto-pilot parenting that leads to treating our children as 'less than' adults.
When we stop our transgenerational 'hand-me-down' parenting styles, our children will have more space to unfold and become their highest potential, rather than become what we mold them into - based on a fear-driven approach that hopes to raise a healthy, happy and successful human being.

NOT A MENTAL DISORDER is a follow up to episode #23 'ANTHROPOLOGISTS QUESTION ADHD'. This is an episode with biological anthropologists Kristen Syme from Washington State University, the co-author of the article "Researchers call for new approach to some mental disorders".
In the paper, published in the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, the Syme and her co-author Edward Hagen propose a new approach to mental illness that would be informed by human evolution, noting that modern psychology, and in particular its use of drugs like antidepressants, has largely failed to reduce the prevalence of mental disorders. For example, the global prevalence of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders remained steady at 4.4% and 4% respectively from 1990 to 2010.
The anthropologists argue that some conditions might be a mismatch between modern and ancestral environments such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. Hagen pointed out that there is little in our evolutionary history that accounts for children sitting at desks quietly while watching a teacher do math equations at a board.
Other disorders such as depression, anxiety and PTSD are not hereditary, occur at any age and are often tied to threatening experiences. Hagen and Syme propose they may be responses to adversity and serve as signals, much like physical pain does, to make people aware of the need for help.

MIKE PANERO HAS SUPERPOWERS is a fun-filled podcast episode with Tik-Tok superstar Mike Panero. Mikey was raised by his parents to believe that ADHD was not a disorder, but a superpower. And guess what... he delivers. With close to 1.2M followers and over 45M video likes, Mikey clearly knows how to use his talents to get attention.
In this candid interview, Mikey and his parents talked to me about their struggles during his childhood with the diagnosis, the medication, the school, and more.

PARENTS AS EXPERTS is a recent episode my wife Tatiana and I recorded, after having countless discussions on how parents know their children better than anyone... including many so-called 'experts'.
How many times have we heard parents say they should've trusted their initial gut feelings... or how they trusted an expert and in the end it turned out to be the wrong treatment for their child...
Join us as we get into the nuances of parenting, trusting our own intuition, and most of all how to decide which experts to trust.

WHITNEY TURNED OUT is a beautiful episode about the life of Whitney Jude, an entrepreneur, and fitness coach who helps people transform not only their bodies but also their minds.
Growing up, Whitney was always very independent, the kinda 'don't tell me what do do' child. After she was put on stimulant drugs and later a cocktail of drugs to get her to be 'normal' and 'happy', Whitney spiraled into drug abuse, and her story unfortunately not uncommon, is heart-breaking for sure.
Listen in and hear for yourself!

ADHD, PTSD & SEXUAL TRAUMA is a heart-breaking yet powerful episode with my guest Bianca Rose. Bianca vulnerably shared with me how her own sexual abuse during her childhood led to her misdiagnosis with all sorts of 'disorders' such as anxiety, depression and how she was put on a cocktail of medications as a young child. What followed was a downward spiral of alcohol & drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, running away from home, and attempted suicide.
Bianca was often accused of being 'checked out' or 'not present'... yet what she was doing was simply disassociating from her body, due to her sexual abuse.
Millions of children around the world have experienced sexual trauma and were misdiagnosed as having ADHD instead of PTSD.
Why do parents not look beyond the symptoms and the labels? Why do we medicate our children, essentially masking the red flags that tell us that the child is dealing with something much deeper than a bunch of medically declared 'symptoms'?
Listen in for yourself and see how you can support your own children so this kind of sexual abuse and ultimately stimulant drug abuse doesn't happen to your own children.

BOYS LACK INITIATIONS is a powerful episode with Philip Folsom. Philip is an Anthropologist, Culture Development expert, and president & CEO of Wolf Tribe. In addition, he is the co-founder of VALOR, a PTS and resiliency program for warriors and first responders. Philip is known for his unique adventure programming and Tribe workshop that focuses on the primary culture components of building healthy and high-performing teams.
Philip Folsom’s reputation in the team development world is legendary. His in-person events, seminars, and experiences have dramatically improved the lives of over 500,000 people teaching the importance of peace, power, and sacred purpose. Philip is a regular contributor at the USC Marshall School of Business and sits on the High-Performance Board of Red Bull. His work is regularly featured on television and podcasts around the world. Philip’s current clients include Microsoft, Apple, Snapchat, Space X, and Riot Games.
Philip and I talked about the importance of initiating boys to successfully and powerfully transition from boyhood into adulthood. Some culture, the Jewish for example has such rituals as part of their cultural heritage. Usually, there is an element of religion to it, but the kind of initiations that Philip talks about are simply boy meets world and gets prepared for incoming challenges. Philip and I both believe that by 'prepping' young man to become responsible men with 'grit' we will make the world and our planet a huge favor!
So, what do we do? What can we do today to prepare our young boys for manhood? Are we doing enough as parents? Could we do more? Unfortunately, comfort and convenience are trying to prevent us from upgrading our [human] operating system. But now that we know that, we can make our old habits die and create new ones. How? Listen in to this episode...

ANTHROPOLOGISTS QUESTION ADHD is an episode in which I share my personal thoughts on a recent article (May 2020) by biological anthropologists Kristen Syme and Edward Hagen from Washington State University called "Researchers call for new approach to some mental disorders".

IT'S NOT GENETIC is a clear cut, scientific episode with genetic scientist Chris Ramsey on how mental 'disorders' such as ADHD are not 'genetic', but rather 'epigenetic'. As Dr. Bruce Lipton likes to say: "We're not victims of our hereditary blueprint, therefore we are in charge of our lives and we can change our genes through changing our environments."
Chris and I talked about ADHD as a disorder, children as unique souls and the effect labels such as ADHD might have on our children.
In short, we've been sold another false narrative that ADHD is genetic. It's just simply not the truth. Keep questioning those narratives and trust your intuition, parents!

THE NURTURED HEART APPROACH is a beautiful episode with Howard Glasser, the Founder of the Children’s Success Foundation and creator of the Nurtured Heart Approach®. He likes to think of himself as a voice for children’s greatness so that ultimately children can find their own voice of greatness.
Howard’s training background is in family treatment, clinical studies and educational leadership and his body of work has been inspired from his work with some of the most intense and challenging children. He has been referred to as one of the more influential living persons working to reduce children’s reliance on psychiatric medications and his work has been featured on CNN, in Esquire Magazine, as well as in now inspiring a growing number of programs worldwide. Howard is the author of 15 books, including Transforming the Difficult Child, Notching Up the Nurtured Heart Approach, and Igniting Greatness and is a sought after Keynote speaker at conferences in areas of treatment and education.
The Nurtured Heart Approach has been successfully adopted by the state of New Jersey’s Coordinated System of Care and is being examined as a model of care by other states as well as being currently researched by both by Rutgers University and the University of Arizona’s Zuckerman School of Public Health with findings soon to be published. He currently teaches certification trainings on his method, teaches at Andrew Weil’s renowned program at the University of Arizona’s School of Integrative Medicine as well as in the new Transformational Wellness program at U of A’s School of Public Health.
Howard and I had a moving conversation around ADHD children and our society's need to honor children for who they are and not try to mold them into who we think they should be!

IAN TURNED OUT is another perfect example of a young adult, Ian who was diagnosed and medicated as a child and ended up self-medicating with drugs and almost committing suicide. Luckily, he turned his life around and got himself off of the stimulant drugs that were leading him towards darkness.
The notion that unmedicated children with ADHD will self-medicate later in life is simply a made-up narrative that doesn't hold up when it comes to the latest scientific evidence.
Many parents are intimidated by teachers, principles, and doctors alike with this fable of doom. It's gotta stop!
Listen to Ian and you will hear for yourself, yet again, that if children with adverse childhood experiences in life are 'sedated' with stimulant medication, they will more likely end up facing trouble than children who were not medicated.
For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com
WHERE ARE THE FATHERS is a deep exploration of the notion that fatherless households majorly impact a child's experience of the world, his or her environment, and himself or herself. Most of the time, divorces are not peaceful and conscious and the children end up in the crosshairs of two angry parents, unintentionally dragged into the drama, ultimately creating family trauma that creates in a child the behaviors we then call symptoms and label them as a disorder know as 'ADHD'.
If you're a father of a child diagnosed with ADHD, please listen to this podcast carefully as we as men have a duty, a responsibitlity to be there for our kids... NO MATTER WHAT!
Our absences in our children's lives are creating much of the 'disorder' in our world today. We can do better than that. We can start today. We can stop running now!
Fathers, join me on this movement to end ADHD by putting a stake in the ground as confident, grounded, and masculine role models full of certainty about life!

MAD IN AMERICA is a powerful episode that aims to debunk the most common misconceptions around ADHD (it's a brain disorder, it's genetic, it's due to a chemical imbalance, Medication is the most effective treatment, etc.)with the help of Robert Whitaker.
We also discussed the Russell Barkley lead 2002 'Global ADHD Consensus' and how misleading and incomplete the paper was.
Whitaker is an American journalist and author, writing primarily about medicine, science, and history. He is the author of five books, three of which cover the history or practice of modern psychiatry. He has won numerous awards for science writing, and in 1998 he was part of a team writing for the Boston Globe that was shortlisted for the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for a series of articles questioning the ethics of psychiatric research in which unsuspecting patients were given drugs expected to heighten their psychosis. He is the founder and publisher of Mad in America, a webzine critical of the modern psychiatric establishment.

WHY IMPULSIVITY MATTERS is a delicate and textured download around impulsivity. We've all heard it before: "He's so impulsive." As if it was a bad thing. Even when we diagnose children with mental disorders such as ADHD, impulsivity is listed as one of the symptoms of this so-called 'brain disorder'.
But if we have it all wrong? What if Impulsivity is actually a needed skill to hone our own intuition? What will happen if we keep sedating our children's impulsivity with stimulant medication? Can an adult who was medicated as a child properly use their intuition?
Listen in and see if you resonate with what I channeled here in this episode.

ANDY TURNED OUT is an episode with Andrew Parry who was medicated as a child for ADHD, suggested by his school counselor at the time.
Novartis, the maker of Ritalin had distributed brochures to the schools in the area promoting Ritalin as '...making kids normal again'. Andrew's mother Sue Parry (Episode 10 - Saving Andy) decided to take Andy off of the prescribed medication when he started to have severe side effects.
In this episode, Andrew shares his experience growing up with having been labeled with ADHD and medicated with the stimulant drug Ritalin.
Today, Andrew is a successful entrepreneur and is the founder of the Seattle Pomade Company as well as the co-founder of Resonant Botanicals. He also loves to cook and he has recently gotten engaged.
In short: Andy turned out, didn't he!

PAYING FOR ATTENTION is an episode with Consciousness Catalyst de Vie, a deep dive into the meaning of attention, focus, concentration and most of all what it means to 'pay attention'.
In the world of ADHD, we are said to have a deficit of attention. It seems to be a currency that each child owns and can give freely. But what makes a child not want to give attention? And what if that child perhaps also doesn't receive the kind of attention they need from their parents, teachers and other authority figures?
Could it be that we've been giving away our attention to people, organizations, platforms and so-called beliefs and truths without actually consciously choosing to do so?
Perhaps it's time to start the 'Attention Liberation Movement' and for all of us to claim not only our sovereignty but also to take back our attention and start over.
So, if you have chosen to listen to this episode, we say a big THANK YOU for giving us your attention!

HUNTERS IN A FARMER'S WORLD is a powerful episode with my friend and very special guest Thom Hartmann, an American radio personality, author, former psychotherapist, businessman, and progressive political commentator.
In the ADHD world, Thom famously authored "ADD - A Different Perception") and is the creator (proposed by him in 1978, published in 1992) of the Hunter vs. Farmer hypothesis, saying AD[H]D is an expected evolutionary adaptation to hunting lifestyles.
Thom proposes that these individuals have the ability of rapidly shifting their focus and external attention, and holding multiple trains of thought. This ability causes difficulties as they live and work in cultures in which "farming" — planned, predictable, organized, repetitive behaviors — is typical. Thom has also established specialized schools for children with ADHD, such as The Hunter School in Rumney, New Hampshire, which he co-founded with his wife Louise.

ADHD & COVID 19 is multi-fold episode about a recent Isrealy study that claims that unmedicated children with ADHD are more likely to get Covid 19. I decided to analyze what could be behind this PR stunt that's clearly unfounded (in a future episode we'll have Israeli research scientist Yaakov Ophir, Ph.D. on our show to debunk it based on real science - air date TBD).
Once we got the the bottom of the emotions behind this campaign - fear - I decided to turn the episode into a letter to my sons Etienne (8) and Khai (11) and share with them what they can count on from their parents and what they need to be aware of out in the world as they grow up to become young men!
We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more amazing episodes, including Thom Hartmann in early September and Gabor Maté in October!

SAVING ANDY is the heartfelt and heart-wrenching interview with Sue Parry, a mother whose son Andy (now in his 30's) was diagnosed in elementary school and put on medication. The severe side effects from the medication caused Andy some serious medical issues and the family was taken for a tornado-like spin, trying to figure out what was happening with their son.
During our interview, it became clear to me that this story represents the story of so many parents out there, struggling with the label, the medication and the side effects this so-called disorder has on families all around the world.
We hope you take away some gold from this interview. We sure did! Thank you, Sue! And congratulations for living a successful and happy life, Andy!

DENYING YOUR CHILD'S REALITY is a raw and extremely insightful interivew with our guest Kelley about her childhood and how her high sensitivity and deep intuition were mistaken for ADHD. Kelley ended up being put on Adderall at the age of 14 and shortly thereafter started self-medicating and going into a downward spiral that eventually caused the extreme depression that drove her to attempt to commit sucide twice.
In this authentic, vulnerable, and courageous interview, Kelley clearly dispels the myth that 'unmedicated children with ADHD will eventually self-medicate'. We were told the same thing when our son got diagnosed and of course, as a parent, you are scared shitless that that might happen to your child. Most parents cave in and get their kids on meds instantly. In Kelley's case, being on 'legal' drugs only encouraged her to try other drugs to numb her pain of having her own reality denied by her parents and teachers.
Listen in and hear for yourself what could be going on with your own child that you suspect has ADHD...

THAT FORK IN THE ROAD is an insightful episode in which my wife Tatiana and I discuss the two directions parents can go in when they're at the fork in the road - to medicate & label or not to. Find out why some parents blindly choose the label and to medicate, while others dig deeper and find alternative ways to create happy and successful lives for their children.
This is the eight episode of our new podcast on ADHD that my wife Tatiana and I have created in order to present parents with an alternative conversation around this so-called 'disorder'.
Our own son Khai was diagnosed at the age of 7 and we decided to trust our gut feeling (you can call it intuition) to not accept this confidence-damaging label and to not medicate our son... even though his teacher and the principal of the school he was attending at the time suggested we do both in order to make sure he wouldn't end up a druggie or in prison.
Listen in and feel for yourself. If you're on the fence whether to medicate your child or not, this podcast is definitely for you. There is nothing 'wrong' with your child. Your son or daughter is not broken. As a matter of fact, in this podcast, we explore the possibility that children on the spectrum might actually be here to tell us something. It's up to us to listen and to figure out what the message is.

IT'S NOT A DISORDER is a challenging episode that questions ADHD as a disorder. First of all, what is a disorder? Secondly, who gets to say who is disordered? Even if doctors with respectable medical degrees say that they know, their diagnoses often are not founded in a wholesome observation of the child's life.
This is the third episode of our new podcast on ADHD that my wife Tatiana and I have created in order to present parents with an alternative conversation around this so-called 'disorder'.

IT'S ALL MADE UP is the first episode of our new podcast on ADHD that my wife Tatiana and I have created in order to present parents with an alternative conversation around this so-called 'disorder'.
