ADHD IS A WAKE UP CALL is an episode about a recent insight I had while listening to an Alan Watts video on YouTube. 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.

Recently, CHADD felt the need to 'set the record straight' on the use of stimulant medications for ADHD... at least that what shines through when reading their article. 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...

Could it be that humans that are diagnosed with ADHD are actually on the wrong track in their lives? And their observed behaviors (aka Symptoms) are a reaction to the misalignment with their current environment? This episode is inspired by a recent IG video posted by Jim Rajan.

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.

We The People During 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...

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'."

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.
