The forgotten power of iodine takes center stage in this enlightening exploration of thyroid health, immune function, and holistic healing approaches. Dr. Thomas Lodi reveals why this critical mineral deserves far more attention than it receives in conventional medicine, explaining how iodine deficiency undermines not just thyroid performance but our entire immune response.Most people living in iodine-deficient regions unknowingly suffer as their thyroid glands substitute bromide, fluoride, and chloride for missing iodine molecules, creating structurally similar but functionally impaired thyroid hormones. This substitution goes undetected in standard blood tests yet wreaks havoc throughout the body. The solution? A year-long restoration protocol using 25mg of iodine daily, paired with natural thyroid support to prevent temporary hypothyroidism during the transition.Beyond iodine, Dr. Lodi dives deep into his comprehensive approach to what he terms "chronically fermenting cells" (CFCs) – a more empowering and accurate description than cancer. By understanding these cells as fermenting rather than mysterious invaders, patients gain a clear path forward: create an internal environment where these cells cannot thrive. This reframing transforms the healing journey from one of fear to one of purpose and control.The connection between parasites and chronic illness emerges as another crucial piece of the healing puzzle. Dr. Lodi shares specific anti-parasitic protocols combining medications like ivermectin, fenbendazole, and niclosamide with proper liver support supplements. These treatments extend beyond parasite elimination to potentially impact chronic conditions through multiple mechanisms, highlighting the interconnected nature of body systems.Whether you're struggling with thyroid issues, chronic illness, or simSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with internationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. Annick Vincent to dig into the real ADHD burden faced by Entrepreneurs. They get honest about what it means for your brain to actually be “available”—not just focused, but free from overwhelm, distractions, and those mental ghosts that drain your energy. Dr. Vincent shares practical ways to spot what's taking up your mental space, set realistic boundaries, and build lasting resilience. If you're juggling business, family, and society's expectations, this episode is packed with strategies to lighten your load and help your ADHD Entrepreneur brain work with you, not against you.  

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, reflects on his conversation with Ari Tuckman about Tuckman's book, the ADHD Productivity Manual. This short episode unpacks big insights for the ADHD Entrepreneur: why “time is slippery” for an ADHD brain, what time blindness and temporal discounting mean, and how embracing your time horizon can actually help you get more done. André shares straight-shooting thoughts on managing long to-do lists, the value of an aspirational list, and why it's okay to toss tasks that no longer matter. If productivity with ADHD feels daunting, this chat offers real-world, ADHD-friendly strategies you can put into action today.  

The humble mineral iodine might be the most overlooked yet critical component of your health puzzle. Dr. Lodi takes us on a deep dive into why this forgotten element deserves our attention, explaining how iodine deficiency undermines thyroid function and consequently weakens our immune system.Most of us are walking around with suboptimal iodine levels due to depleted soils and diets lacking in sea vegetables. The consequences? Our thyroid glands substitute other halogens like fluoride and bromide when creating hormones, resulting in molecules that measure as T3 and T4 but lack the biological activity necessary for health. "If you don't have a healthy thyroid, you won't have a healthy immune system. It's impossible," Dr. Lodi emphasizes, highlighting the fundamental connection between these systems.Restoring proper iodine levels requires a thoughtful approach - typically 25mg daily for at least a year. This restoration process creates a paradox where supplementing with iodine can temporarily suppress thyroid function, requiring simultaneous support with natural thyroid hormones. The medical establishment's puzzling "iodophobia" has created unnecessary fear around therapeutic iodine use, despite its historical safety record when properly administered.Beyond iodine, Dr. Lodi addresses practical questions about parasite protocols, vertigo treatment, and the mechanics of ketogenic diets. He explains the difference between dizziness caused by dehydration versus inner ear disturbances, offering specific solutions for each. His discussion of chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) provides a refreshing perspective on cancer, emphasizing the body's innate healing capabilities when properly supported.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Lodi reinforces the value of community support for healing journeys.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with psychologist and ADHD thought leader Ari Tuckman to get real about productivity challenges for the ADHD Entrepreneur. This episode gets into why time feels “slippery,” how temporal discounting messes with getting things done, and why your to-do list might work better with a major overhaul. Ari shares straightforward strategies—like turning tasks into calendar appointments and trimming the dead weight from your to-do list—to help Entrepreneurs with ADHD play to their strengths, not fight their brains. Walk away with practical ideas to boost productivity without the shame or overwhelm.  

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, turns the mic on himself for a raw look at what really holds ADHD Entrepreneurs back—it's often not the ADHD, but the character we build to fit in. Reflecting on his chat with Vivian Glyck, André opens up about the lifelong act of masking, the deep conflict between identity and survival mechanisms, and his ongoing journey to shed that protective shell. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur feeling stuck chasing goals that don't fit, this episode will help you question whose ambitions you're really serving—and why it's time to put your true self first.  

What if everything you've been told about treating chronic conditions is fundamentally flawed? Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by demonstrating that the body functions as one interconnected system, not isolated parts that can be treated separately. This revelatory approach transforms our understanding of cancer—which Dr. Lodi refers to as CFCs (chronic, confirmed cells) to remove the fear-inducing language that suppresses immune function.The cornerstone of true healing begins with comprehensive detoxification. Dr. Lodi explains that we accumulate toxins throughout life until they reach a critical mass that causes mitochondrial dysfunction in cells, forcing them to switch from respiration to fermentation. His recommended protocol starts with a three-week vegetable juice cleanse combining celery, cucumber, kale, spinach, lemon, and apple—providing complete nutrition while facilitating deep cellular cleansing.Biological dentistry represents another crucial element often overlooked in conventional treatment. Teeth exist on meridians connected to specific organs, and problems like root canals or cavitations can directly impact distant body parts. Dr. Lodi shares remarkable cases where addressing dental issues resolved cancer in corresponding organs, emphasizing the importance of working with IAOMT-certified biological dentists who use proper ozone irrigation and platelet-rich fibrin techniques.Perhaps most surprising is Dr. Lodi's assertion that everyone harbors parasites—most undetected because they're too small or haven't been identified by medical authorities. His antiparasitic protocol combines medications like ivermectin, benzimidazoles, niclosamide, nitazoxanide, and antifungals in three-week cycles, producing remarkable improvements in energy, mental clarity, and overall health even in people wiSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, hands the mic to guest host Vivian Glyck, founder of the Just Like My Child Foundation, for a raw and real conversation about ADHD and personal growth. Together, they dig into André's late ADHD and autism spectrum diagnoses, routines that actually work, and why creating your own structure is so important for the ADHD Entrepreneur. Vivian shares her parenting insight and journeys with an ADHD family, sparking honest talk about shame, acceptance, and resilience. Whether you're navigating ADHD in business or at home, this episode offers practical advice to help you turn challenges into your greatest asset.  

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, takes a solo moment to reflect on the tricky relationship between stress, trauma, and the ADHD Entrepreneur. Pulling wisdom from his recent chat with therapist Raquel Devillé, André breaks down how unfinished stress gets stuck in the body, why simply thinking your way out of trauma doesn't work, and how generational patterns sneak into our lives and work. If you've ever felt hit too hard by something small, you're not alone. Tune in to learn why completing the stress cycle matters and how listening to your body can lead to personal and business growth.  

What if everything you've been taught about healing chronic disease is completely backwards? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by presenting a simpler, more fundamental approach to health restoration that begins not with complex interventions but with thorough detoxification.The conversation tackles one of medicine's biggest blind spots: the connection between parasitic infections and seemingly unrelated chronic conditions. Dr. Lodi explains how strongyloides can persist in the body for decades, affecting multiple organ systems, while schistosomiasis often underlies squamous cell carcinomas of the bladder. These revelations prompt us to question whether we're treating symptoms while missing root causes.Central to Dr. Lodi's philosophy is the understanding that the body possesses remarkable healing intelligence when given the opportunity to function without toxic interference. He details a practical approach starting with extended vegetable juice cleansing (3-8 weeks minimum), coupled with colon cleansing to facilitate elimination. This foundational step must precede any targeted interventions, whether for parasites, chronically fermenting cells (what conventional medicine calls cancer), or autoimmune conditions.The discussion challenges popular dietary approaches, explaining why humans thrive on raw, uncooked plant foods consumed within limited time windows. Dr. Lodi references migration studies showing that disease patterns follow cuisine rather than genetics, underscoring how cultural conditioning has disconnected us from our nutritional instincts. His perspective offers a refreshing alternative to the increasingly complex world of specialized diets and supplement protocols.Beyond physical interventions, Dr. Lodi emphasizes the spiritual dimension of healing—Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

André, The Impulsive Thinker, sits down with Belgian therapist Raquel Devillé to break down the difference between stress and trauma, especially for the ADHD Entrepreneur. Stress is a body's reaction to daily challenges, but when things get overwhelming—and we can't cope—it can turn into trauma, getting stuck in the nervous system. Raquel digs into how unfinished stress cycles linger as trauma, why neurodivergent folks get disconnected from their bodies, and how somatic therapy helps untangle these stuck patterns. If you've ever wondered if you're just stressed or carrying something deeper, this episode is for you. Start understanding your triggers and taking action.  

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, reflects on his insightful conversation with Chris Wang, co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, about the intersection of being queer and having ADHD. This Queer ADHD Short tackles the true power of finding the right words for self-acceptance, why masking exists when spaces feel unsafe, and how breaking someone's image of you isn't your responsibility. ADHD Entrepreneurs will find real talk on identity, language clarity, and the journey to unapologetic self-understanding. If you've ever struggled to put yourself into words or felt out of place, this episode is for you. Tune in—let's get unstuck together.  

The medical establishment has conditioned us to accept diagnoses as answers, when they're merely descriptions of what's happening in our bodies. "Severe ulcerative epithelial dysplasia" sounds impressive, but it only tells you that cells are changing shape, not why it's happening or how to resolve it. This descriptive approach serves the medical billing system perfectly while leaving patients without true understanding of their conditions.During this illuminating session, we explore the fundamental misconception driving modern healthcare: the military paradigm that something must be targeted and eliminated. Whether discussing tongue lesions, cervical issues, or persistent fungal infections, the same principle applies – these aren't invaders to fight but symptoms of imbalance to correct. Your body isn't being attacked; it's adapting to its environment.What conventional medicine calls "cancer," we recognize as chronic fermenting cells – cells that have lost mitochondrial function and shifted to fermentation for energy production. This process changes their form and function, but regardless of where it occurs in the body, the underlying mechanism remains the same. The medical establishment simply names the condition based on location, creating the illusion of distinct diseases requiring specialized treatments.The path to healing begins with cleansing – a minimum three-week juice cleanse consisting primarily of fresh vegetables – followed by restoration of essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, melatonin, and iodine. Almost everyone is iodine deficient unless they regularly consume sea vegetables, affecting thyroid function and overall metabolism. After cleansing, eating uncooked plants in their natural state within a 4-6 hour window each day supports ongoing health.Perhaps most crucial is abandoning fear-iSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with Chris Wang, co-founder and CEO of Shimmer ADHD Coaching, to get real about where ADHD and queerness meet, especially in the world of the ADHD Entrepreneur. Chris shares her own story of coming out as pansexual and being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and the unique layers added by her Chinese-Canadian background. They dive into masking, self-acceptance, and how culture, gender, and sexuality all intersect with ADHD. This episode is packed with honest reflections and practical insights for anyone looking to grow into their authentic self as an ADHD Entrepreneur.

This short episode, André, The Impulsive Thinker™, reflects on key takeaways from his recent chat with Dr. Bill Dodson. André digs into what it takes to thrive as an ADHD Entrepreneur—even if you never had the support or advocate you needed growing up. He breaks down why being “your own advocate” is so important, reminds us that you're not lazy—you're just blocked, and explores the power of complementary partnerships in both business and life. Listen in for real talk on building the network you deserve, rethinking self-criticism, and finding strategies that work with your unique ADHD brain.  

Ever wondered why parasite cleanses fail despite your best efforts? The answer lies in understanding their remarkable survival strategies. Parasites can lay up to 200,000 eggs daily and hide deep within tissues, making short-term treatments virtually useless. Dr. Lodi reveals why effective parasite protocols must continue for months or even years using a three-weeks-on, one-week-off cycle with multiple medications targeting both worms and protozoa simultaneously.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when examining cholesterol's critical role in human health. Far from being the villain portrayed by pharmaceutical companies, cholesterol forms the foundation of vitamin D production, hormone creation, and cell membrane integrity. Approximately 80% of your brain's white matter contains cholesterol-rich myelin, which explains why statin drugs might contribute to cognitive decline. This revelatory perspective challenges everything conventional medicine teaches about heart health and cholesterol management.Perhaps most profound is Dr. Lodi's exploration of the true nature of healing. He dismantles the concept of "disease" itself, explaining that conditions like diabetes or cancer represent adaptive responses to suboptimal circumstances rather than entities to be fought. Real healing occurs when we restore proper biological function by removing harmful influences while providing optimal nutrition through approaches like juice cleansing. The mind plays a crucial role too—negative thoughts suppress immune function while mental stillness creates space for healing.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with Dr. William Dodson, one of the leading voices in adult ADHD, for a straight-up conversation about why some with ADHD seem to thrive without seeking help. Dr. Dodson shares hard-won insights about the power of having an advocate, being understood, and accepting your true self—especially as an Entrepreneur. They dig into why support circles matter, what to do if you didn't have that growing up, and ways to reframe self-worth. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur looking for clarity, real talk, and practical ideas, this episode is for you.  

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, opens up about feeling trapped by his own reactions and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) work changed his perspective. This short solo episode is a real talk based on insights from his recent conversation with IFS practitioner and ADHD coach Jamie Blume. André shares how understanding the “parts” inside—exile, manager, firefighter—helped him move from self-blame to self-understanding, especially with the emotional intensity of ADHD. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur who wrestles with emotional triggers, tune in for tools to break patterns and start showing yourself more compassion. Let's make mental health routine, not just for crises.  

Feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, idea overload, or nonstop worry? In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy and ADHD coach Lynne Edris break down what mental clutter really looks like in the ADHD brain—and how to start clearing it. They explore: The different types of mental clutter (ideas, emotions, to-dos, rumination) Why ADHD brains often resist letting go of thoughts ADHD-friendly systems for capturing and retrieving ideas Real-world strategies to reduce overwhelm and increase mental clarity Why self-care and emotional boundaries matter more than you think When it's time to get professional support Whether your mind feels cluttered with creative ideas, emotional noise, or just too many open loops, you'll find validation, insight, and solutions in this practical, heartfelt conversation.

Fear prevents rational decisions. When faced with a serious diagnosis, many people find themselves paralyzed, unable to think clearly about their options. Dr. Thomas Lodi believes this is by design - medical terminology often creates unnecessary terror while offering little practical understanding of what's actually happening in your body.This illuminating episode reframes our understanding of chronic health conditions by examining them through the lens of biological adaptation rather than disease. Dr. Lodi explains why he uses the term "chronically fermenting cells" instead of cancer, demonstrating how our bodies make intelligent adaptations when biological needs aren't being met. Whether discussing insulin resistance as protection against excessive glucose or enlarged prostates as congestion from hormonal changes, each condition reveals the body's attempt to maintain balance under challenging circumstances.The conversation explores the profound connection between dental health and systemic conditions, with Dr. Lodi sharing his personal experience of resolving heart arrhythmias through biological dentistry. He discusses how modern dietary patterns have altered our jaw development, contributing to conditions like sleep apnea, and explains the crucial role of iodine in thyroid function. Throughout, he emphasizes that understanding the body's biological needs transforms our approach to healing.Perhaps most enlightening is Dr. Lodi's perspective on human nutrition. He challenges the notion that diet is controversial, suggesting that nature has provided clear specifications for human health. The confusion stems not from conflicting science but from cultural conditioning that has disconnected us from our natural instincts. By distinguishing between hunger (physiological) and appetite (cultural), he opens the door to reimaginSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with Jamie Blume, an IFS and IFIO practitioner, ADHD and life coach, to break down Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how it can help ADHD Entrepreneurs move past emotional dysregulation. They explore why feeling “broken” isn't about you, but about protective patterns shaped by your brain wiring and childhood experience. Jamie explains the roles of “parts” like managers, firefighters, and exiles—and how understanding them opens new ways to manage reactions and self-criticism. If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns or negative loops, this episode gives you language and tools to shift that story.

Ever wondered why conventional medicine seems to label so many conditions as "incurable"? Dr. Thomas Lodi turns this notion on its head by revealing a profound truth: there's no cure needed because there's no "thing" to cure.In this eye-opening session, Dr. Lodi challenges the fundamental misconception driving modern healthcare—that disease is some external entity invading our bodies. Instead, he explains how conditions from leukemia to enlarged prostates represent the same process: cells switching from normal energy production to fermentation when their mitochondria become damaged. This understanding transforms how we approach healing, focusing on restoring balance rather than battling disease.The cornerstone of Dr. Lodi's approach is comprehensive cleansing. He details the transformative power of a 4-6 week juice cleanse (primarily celery, cucumber, spinach, and kale) combined with colon hydrotherapy to "change the water in your aquarium." This process allows the body to eliminate accumulated toxins that have disrupted normal cellular function. For those with specific conditions like chronic lymphocytic leukemia, he explains how therapies like Insulin Potentiation Therapy can target problematic cells with minimal collateral damage.Dr. Lodi doesn't shy away from controversial topics, tackling everything from dental health (where metal implants create battery-like effects disrupting bodily currents) to hormone balance (particularly thyroid function and its connection to iodine). He dismantles nutritional myths, explaining why carnivore diets might temporarily help blood sugar but ultimately introduce toxins counterproductive to healing.What makes Dr. Lodi's approach truly revolutionary is his integration of physical healing with emotional and social support. He emphasizes that true healing happens in communitySend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

Magician and speaker John Michael Hinton grew up full of energy. As a kid, he lived abroad and stood out for his high energy. His parents noticed early on that caffeine seemed to calm him down, a clue that something deeper might be going on.John Michael — who performs a few magic tricks in the episode! — talks with host Laura Key about how things fell apart academically in his freshman year of high school, leading to a 1.7 GPA. An ADHD diagnosis helped him get the support he needed. The biggest turning point came thanks to a mentor who encouraged him to stop living in “Ready, FIRE, Aim” mode and start thinking “Ready, AIM, Fire.” Now a husband and father of three (all with ADHD, too), John Michael explains how ADHD fuels his creativity, curiosity, and performance style.Related resourcesJohn Michael's website, www.johnmichaelhinton.comADHD and creativity ADHD and rejection sensitive dysphoria Timestamps(00:00) Intro(01:01) Growing up undiagnosed while moving around internationally, and being diagnosed in the states as a teenager(06:19) College, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and creativity(09:01) Magic trick break #1(11:15) ADHD and performing magic on stage(13:15) Being remembered as the “weird kid” and using mentors to mature(16:12) “Ready, aim, fire” instead of “Ready, fire, aim”  (17:50) Magic trick break #2 (19:15) Incorporating ADHD into his magic acts(21:13) Home life with an entire ADHD family(22:42) A message to all the other “spazzes” out there(25:19) Outro and creditsFor a transcript and more resources, visit the “ADHD Aha!” show page on Understood.org.

Ever wonder why conventional medicine seems to treat symptoms rather than causes? Dr. Thomas Lodi pulls back the curtain on a revolutionary approach to understanding health and disease that could transform your healing journey.At the heart of Dr. Lodi's philosophy is a fundamental reframing: what mainstream medicine calls "cancer" is actually chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) – cells that have lost 60% of their mitochondrial function due to accumulated toxicity. This isn't just semantic wordplay; it completely shifts our understanding from a mysterious, frightening disease to a logical biological adaptation that can be systematically addressed.The conversation reveals the shocking prevalence of parasites in chronic disease states – from dental infections to tumor development. Dr. Lodi shares compelling cases, including one where a patient's "prostate cancer" completely resolved after a parasite cleanse expelled numerous worms from his body. These connections, largely ignored by conventional medicine, provide powerful alternative treatment pathways using medications like ivermectin and fenbendazole that target both parasites and CFCs by blocking critical metabolic pathways.Perhaps most valuable is Dr. Lodi's comprehensive healing framework: eliminating toxicity sources (including dental problems), cleansing through colonics and lymphatic therapies, restoring proper cellular nutrition, and addressing the ofSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

Forget what you've seen in movies: BDSM isn't one-size-fits-all. As Dr. Leann Borneman explains, it's more of an à la carte menu where consent, communication, and personal boundaries come first. You can take what works for you and leave the rest.Host Cate Osborn talks with clinical sexologist Dr. Borneman about the intersection of BDSM, neurodivergence, and executive function. They explore how some people with ADHD use parts of BDSM, like structure, sensory input, and clearly defined roles. These can help support attention, reduce overwhelm, and build emotional regulation.Listen as Cate and Leann challenge outdated assumptions, and learn how destigmatizing your desires can help you show up more fully in your life.Related resourcesLeann's website, bornemancoaching.comLeann's dissertation, The Intersection of ADHD and BDSM Engagement in Heterosexual WomenFor a transcript and more resources, visit the Sorry, I Missed This show page on Understood.org.

Together, they explore the unique strengths of ADHD's creativity and energy, paired with autism's steadiness and need for routine.

Dive deep into the controversial connection between parasites and chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) with Dr. Thomas Lodi as he challenges conventional understanding of disease. In this eye-opening discussion, Dr. Lodi explains why we should abandon fear-inducing terminology like "cancer" in favor of focusing on the actual metabolic process occurring within cells.The conversation upends traditional medical teaching by revealing that there aren't different "types" of cancer—only different locations where the same metabolic dysfunction manifests. This paradigm-shifting perspective opens new avenues for treatment that conventional medicine often overlooks.Dr. Lodi presents compelling evidence showing how parasites—which likely affect nearly 100% of the population—can directly cause or support CFCs by dismantling immune responses. He outlines a comprehensive treatment approach involving multiple anti-parasitic medications, explaining that these same mechanisms also target the metabolic pathways CFCs depend on for survival.Beyond parasite protocols, Dr. Lodi emphasizes the critical importance of the pineal gland, which produces melatonin, epithalin, and dimethyltryptamine—compounds essential for immune function, sleep regulation, and even transcendental experiences. He explains how environmental toxins like fluoride calcify this vital gland, potentially explaining why blind people (who produce more melatonin) have significantly lower cancer rates.The discussion extends to practical approaches for restoring physiological balance, including lymphatic therapy techniques, proper sleep hygiene, and addressing dental health through biological dentistry. Throughout, Dr. Lodi reinforces that there is never a single cause for any health condition—multiple variables always contribute, requiring a comprehensive approach to hSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

What if everything we've been taught about chronic inflammation and disease is fundamentally flawed? Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by explaining how inflammation isn't something to be suppressed, but rather understood as the body's intelligent response to unmet biological needs.Diving deep into the biochemistry of chronic inflammation, Dr. Lodi reveals how pharmaceutical drugs like Humira target inflammatory molecules like TNF-alpha but create dangerous imbalances in the process. Meanwhile, natural substances like vitamin C and curcumin accomplish similar biochemical effects without the severe side effects, while simultaneously supporting immune function and overall health. This isn't merely theoretical—studies show dramatically lower inflammatory markers in people who adopt natural human diets centered around uncooked plant foods.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Lodi examines how our language shapes our perception of health and illness. By using terms like "disease" and "cure," we unconsciously adopt a framework that sees the body as making mistakes rather than adapting perfectly to its environment. This linguistic prison limits our understanding and options for healing. "There are no diseases and therefore no cures," he explains. "These are the body adapting to situations where biological needs aren't being met."From practical advice on EMF protection to insights about graphene oxide in consumer products, this episode equips listeners with knowledge to navigate today's complex health landscape. The message becomes clear: true healing happens not by finding the perfect pill, but by providing your body everything it needs while removing what harms it. As Dr. Lodi succinctly puts it, "There's only one way to obtain health, and that's by living healthy.

Imagine if we could transform our entire understanding of cancer by simply changing the language we use to describe it. In this eye-opening discussion, Dr. Thomas Lodi introduces the revolutionary concept of "Chronically Fermenting Cells" (CFCs) to replace the fear-inducing word "cancer." This isn't merely semantic—it fundamentally shifts our approach to healing by acknowledging what these cells actually are: normal cells adapting to an abnormal environment through fermentation.Dr. Lodi presents a comprehensive healing philosophy centered on restoring optimal physiological function rather than just targeting symptoms. He explores the fascinating connections between seemingly unrelated systems—like how dental health directly impacts heart rhythm through shared meridians, and how parasites may influence various chronic conditions. With passionate conviction, he dismantles common medical myths, from the supposed dangers of oxalates in green vegetables to the protein adequacy of plant-based diets, using comparative biology to illustrate his points.The conversation weaves through practical applications: precise protocols for treating edema and heart arrhythmias; specific antiparasitic regimens that target CFC stem cells; and lifestyle interventions including early bedtimes, intermittent fasting, and EMF protection. Throughout, Dr. Lodi demonstrates a refreshing commitment to evidence-based approaches while challenging conventional medical dogma. He repeatedly encourages listeners not to simply believe him but to research claims independently, embodying the critical thinking essential to true health sovereignty.Whether you're navigating a serious health challenge or simply seeking optimal wellness, this conversation offers a paradigm-shifting perspective that empowers you to understand your body as an integrated system designSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

From PMS to perimenopause, we explore how shifting hormones can change how ADHD shows up — and how that impacts mood, focus, and relationships.Dr. Borg Skoglund shares what the research says, what often gets overlooked in diagnosis and treatment, and how understanding the patterns in your cycle can make everyday life a little easier.Related resourcesADHD Girls to Women by Dr. Lotta Borg SkoglundLotta's research group, GODDESS ADHDA guide to hormones and ADHDFrom the Climbing the Walls podcast: Are hormones the final frontier for women with ADHD?Timestamps(01:42) The changes in hormones during the menstrual cycle, and how they can affect ADHD symptoms(04:57) ADHD symptoms across hormonal life milestones like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause(10:21) The formation of Lotta's research group GODDESS ADHD(14:25) The importance of this overdue research, and the constant dismissal of women's hormonal challenges(17:12) Mapping your cycle to help understand your ADHD symptom fluctuations(21:10) How do we track these things if our cycles are non-traditional?(24:06) How do hormones connect to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?For a transcript and more resources, visit the Sorry, I Missed This show page on Understood.org. We love hearing from our listeners!

We all know the moment when we realize we've said “yes” too many times. Maybe it's a blinking cursor. Maybe it's a half-warm cup of coffee gone cold. Maybe it's your third attempt to open the same email. But in that moment, something tilts: the awareness that saying yes to one thing has meant saying no to something else… and no one told your brain.This week on The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki crack open the economic principle of opportunity cost—not in the language of Wall Street, but in the tender, messy vocabulary of ADHD. What happens when our neurological defaults make the unseen costs of our choices invisible? When our brains are wired to chase novelty, to dodge rejection, and to overestimate time like it's a limitless currency?Pete revisits the metaphor of the “red line”—a hard truth learned from a boss long ago, now a framework for managing finite energy with zero-based budgeting. Nikki unpacks how ADHD minds experience the psychic toll of every task: the emotional bandwidth, the recovery periods we never account for, the cost of starting something after we finish something else. They offer not only the language for what's happening beneath the surface—but permission. Permission to stop measuring ourselves against neurotypical expectations. To say “I'm making space for this” instead of “I'm giving up on that.”If you've ever felt the heavy guilt of unmade choices, or the strange sorrow that follows a hard-earned win, you'll find resonance here. Because at the intersection of ADHD, opportunity, and peace, there's a small sign that reads: You can stop lying to yourself now. You're doing just fine.Links & Resources:Download the Opportunity Cost Planning WorksheetJoin the ADHD community on Discord: takecontroladhd.com/discordSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (00:58) - Become a Patron at patreon.com/theadhdpodcast (01:58) - Opportunity Costs ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Imagine a world where cancer isn't a death sentence but simply a cellular adaptation that can be reversed. Where Parkinson's disease isn't an inevitability but a toxic burden that can be lifted. Dr. Thomas Lodi invites you into this paradigm-shifting perspective where the language we use determines not just our psychological response to illness, but our physiological one as well.The conventional medical system has taught us to fear diagnoses and surrender our power to specialists wielding toxic treatments. But what if we recognized that these "diseases" are actually adaptive responses by our bodies facing environmental challenges? Dr. Lodi explains how changing our terminology from "cancer" to "chronically fermenting cells" transforms our understanding from fighting a mysterious enemy to supporting metabolic restoration.When treatment becomes necessary, approaches like insulin-potentiated therapy deliver chemotherapy with precision rather than destruction. By exploiting cancer cells' increased insulin receptors, treatments can target damaged cells like a dart hitting a bullseye rather than a grenade destroying everything in its path. Yet Dr. Lodi emphasizes that addressing the causes—removing toxicity and providing optimal nutrition—remains paramount.The modern environment bombards us with unprecedented electromagnetic frequencies, compromising our immune systems and triggering adaptive responses we label as disease. From pneumonia to parasites, from breast cancer to brain disorders, the fundamental approach remains consistent: restore balance rather than attack symptoms. Therapeutic protocols featuring vitamin C, glutathione support, detoxification, and nutrient optimization create conditions where the body no longer needs adaptive strategies.Join Dr. Lodi's healing community where psychotherapists, kinesioloSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.
