André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with renowned adult ADHD psychiatrist Dr. William Dodson to tackle the confusing process of ADHD medication management for Entrepreneurs. Together, they break down why finding the right medication and dose is far from one-size-fits-all. Dr. Dodson reveals why targeting specific symptoms, understanding the blood-brain barrier, and personalized titration matter more than body weight or standard protocols. Discover what ADHD meds can—and cannot—actually do, how to think about “target symptoms,” and why collaboration with your prescriber matters. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur struggling to dial in your meds, this episode is a must-listen.  

In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay explores a hidden root cause of ADHD symptoms that most parents (and even doctors) overlook—Clostridia overgrowth, specifically C. diff. If your child struggles with meltdowns, mood swings, anxiety, or sleep issues—and nothing has worked—this episode could be a game-changer. Dana breaks down what C. diff is, how it affects neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, and why many kids are being misdiagnosed when the real problem lies in their gut. Dana Kay is an ADHD health practitioner, author, and mom who has helped over 1,500 families through her ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. In this episode, she shares real-life stories, scientific explanations, and actionable solutions—including the power of the Organic Acids Test and a gut-healing probiotic blend called Gut Restore Essentials. Whether you're just beginning your ADHD journey or feeling stuck, this episode will give you practical next steps and a renewed sense of hope.

C. diff is like a bully in the gut—pushing around the good bacteria and creating chaos. Many of these symptoms are misdiagnosed as behavioral or emotional problems—but the real issue is sometimes biological. This exact scenario has been observed on Organic Acids Tests. Dopamine xcess can be linked to hyperactivity, agitation, or even psychotic-like behavior. No amount of parenting strategies or therapy will work until we address what's happening in the gut. The OAT test gives us a window into gut bacteria, neurotransmitter imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and more. This test is a simple urine test you can do from home. Most pediatricians are not looking at the gut when it comes to ADHD symptoms. You are not imagining things. Their body may be sending out very real distress signals. Dana Kay Resources:

What parents don't realize is that there are hidden factors that can make ADHD symptoms worse or even create symptoms that look just like ADHD. When a child struggles with focus, impulsivity, or emotional regulation, it is easy to assume ADHD is the only explanation. But many underlying issues can contribute to these challenges. The problem, however, is that most doctors and educators do not talk about these factors, leaving parents unaware of the real reasons behind their child's struggles.By understanding these hidden factors, parents can take the right steps to support their child's nervous system and create lasting improvements. Instead of relying solely on medication or assuming ADHD is the only explanation, parents can make informed choices that address the root causes of their child's challenges. So don't miss this episode as we dive into three surprising causes of ADHD symptoms most parents miss!Not sure where to start? We'll help you find the right solution tailored to your needs.

If you're a parent struggling with bedwetting, you've probably tried everything—limiting fluids, bedwetting alarms, medications—only to see little to no improvement. But what if bedwetting isn't just a bladder issue? What if the root cause is actually hidden in how your child sleeps? In this episode, we dive into the surprising connection between bedwetting, sleep-disordered breathing, and ADHD-like symptoms. Many children who struggle with nighttime accidents are actually dealing with an underlying sleep issue, often caused by mouth breathing, airway obstructions, and poor tongue posture. When a child breathes through their mouth instead of their nose, their body stays in a fight-or-flight state all night long, leading to poor quality sleep and miscommunication between the brain and the bladder. We explore real-life experiences, including my own journey as a mom who spent years searching for answers. I share how addressing my daughter's airway health and breathing patterns completely stopped her bedwetting—after years of frustration and failed treatments. Key Takeaways:-Bedwetting is often a symptom of sleep-disordered breathing—not just a bladder control issue.-Mouth breathing and sleep disturbances can keep the nervous system in survival mode, triggering involuntary urination.-Many kids diagnosed with ADHD may actually have undiagnosed sleep issues, as sleep deprivation can mimic attention and behavioral disorders.-If your child experiences snoring, restless sleep, night terrors, chronic fatigue, or difficulty waking up, their breathing could be the root cause.-Myofunctional therapy, airway-focused orthodontics, and proper nasal breathing can be life-changing solutions for kids struggling with sleep-related issues. If your child is still wetting the bed past age six, don't just wait for them to “outgrow it.” Look at their sleep and breathing patterns—because when we change the way a child breathes, we change the way they sleep, and ultimately, their entire life. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

"Excessive screen use inhibits imagination, natural play, and the development of critical emotional processing skills." "We're not here to eliminate screens completely but to find a healthy balance that supports emotional and mental well-being." "Screen time is designed to leave children wanting more—it's a bucket with a hole that can never be filled." "Setting boundaries is hard but essential. It's okay for kids to feel big emotions when limits are set—it's part of learning." "Boredom isn't a bad thing—it's an opportunity for kids to build creativity, imagination, and self-regulation." "Start small, stay consistent, and be proactive about setting screen time rules—it will pay off in the long run." "Healthy screen habits are a team effort.

Most mold in homes is hidden. It's often lurking behind drywall, under carpets, or in places you'd NEVER think to check. This hidden mold could be making your child's ADHD symptoms worse without you even realizing it. That's because mold exposure is a massive stressor on the body. So, how do you find it? And more importantly, how do you get rid of it? In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, mold expert Brian Karr breaks it all down.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is often perceived as a static diagnosis– one that people carry with them throughout their lives with little to no change. But, new research may just change that view of ADHD all together. A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry suggests that ADHD symptoms can actually fluctuate over time due to influence from environmental factors. In fact, for many individuals, symptoms can mellow out year after year - especially for people who are navigating a busy life.  Guest: Maggie Sibley, a clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and Seattle Children's Hospital. She's also the lead author of the new study.

It is ADHD Awareness Month, and we are committed to providing resources and information that increase understanding about ADHD. Today, let's revisit an episode with Dr. Joel Nigg about lifestyle activities that can improve ADHD symptoms. Dr. Joel Nigg, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at Oregon Health and Science University, is the author of the book Getting Ahead of ADHD. In this episode, he offers great insight, describes some ADHD research studies, and gives actionable steps to take now to help children thrive at school and in life.  We discuss things to look for regarding ADHD symptoms and some simple changes in our daily routines as families that can make a huge impact.

Show Notes: [2:55] - There has been an increase in parents seeking evaluations for ADHD after seeing children learn from home.

[5:01] - For those already diagnosed with ADHD, services were challenging during the pandemic and school closures. [6:25] - You lose the advantage of a teacher's perspective when learning from home. Demands at home from a parent are much different than those in the classroom. [7:42] - Dr. Nigg recommends seeking services for the difficulties the child is experiencing  [10:39] - A valuable goal is to think hard about structuring your day to fit self care in. [12:23] - Another factor that impacts mental health is sleep and the quality of rest. [15:00] - The key is to shift the thinking around sleep to be positive. Counselors can help with this transition. [19:52] - Family rules for a screen-free bedtime are hard to follow, but they are important. [20:54] - Dr. Nigg addresses the claim that high levels of screen time causes ADHD. [22:25] - Media content needs to be monitored for children and teens even though it is a part of their social experience. [25:16] - Children with ADHD are more inclined to experience depression and anxiety. [29:33] - Children need to be prepared for possible changes again as they go back to school. [32:27] - Medical centers around the world have websites with tons of resources. They will also have current and updated recommendations and guidelines. [33:36] - Dr. Nigg's book is a great resource for parents of children with ADHD.

Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep is a common challenge for those with ADHD. In this episode, Pete and Nikki dive deep into the complex relationship between ADHD and sleep with special guest Dr. Roberto Olivardia.As a clinical psychologist specializing in ADHD treatment, Dr. Olivardia shares his professional and personal insights on this critical topic. He explains how people with ADHD are at higher risk for an array of sleep disorders, from sleep apnea to restless leg syndrome. But beyond diagnosable conditions, those with ADHD often find it difficult to wind down at night due to the constant search for stimulation.Pete, Nikki and Dr. Olivardia discuss practical strategies for improving sleep, some of which may seem counterintuitive. For example, listening to an audiobook or familiar TV show can actually help an ADHD brain relax by providing just the right amount of stimulation. They also bust some common myths, like the idea that you can "catch up" on lost sleep over the weekend.Getting proper sleep is crucial for memory, brain function, and overall health. While it can feel like an uphill battle, this conversation provides both the "why" and the "how" of prioritizing sleep with an ADHD brain.  (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:14) - Support the Show: Become a Patron at patreon.com/theadhdpodcast (02:59) - Introducing Dr. Roberto Olivardia (03:52) - Sleep Problems (07:10) - Disordered Sleep versus ADHD Symptoms (14:22) - Why Time Matters (32:46) - How do you know it's a disorder?

Understanding ADHD in Adults: How it Manifests and Impacts LivesIn this episode, Mike and Jeanine delve into the world of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. Building on Mike's experiences of ADHD, the speakers discuss the symptoms, causes, and potential treatments for this condition. The episode explores how ADHD impacts behavior, focus, impulse control, and even time management. In particular, ADHD, in many cases, remains undiagnosed in women due to differences in how symptoms manifest, leading to issues of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Emphasizing the importance of understanding this disorder rather than using it as an excuse, the conversation then focuses on managing ADHD symptoms, such as increasing organization, time management, and effective impulsivity reduction. The episode encourages listeners to consider if ADHD may impact their lives or the lives of those around them.00:00 Introduction to Adult ADHD00:31 Personal Experiences with ADHD01:05 The Struggles of Managing Medication01:30 Importance of Hydration and Electrolytes02:14 The Journey of Cutting Back on Caffeine03:32 Announcements and Updates08:44 The Power of Love and Connection13:54 Comment Corner: Listener Interactions15:25 The Impact of Physical Appearance on Relationships20:35 The Journey of Life After Prison23:29 Understanding Adult ADHD25:11 Understanding ADHD and Its Impact27:01 ADHD: Symptoms and Misdiagnoses27:18 ADHD: The Brain and Its Functions28:05 ADHD: Inheritance and Genetic Factors28:16 ADHD: The Impact on Daily Life29:57 ADHD: The Struggle with Impulse Control33:03 ADHD: The Connection with Addiction35:15 ADHD: Symptoms and Self-Awareness40:40 ADHD: The Role of Genetics and Environment44:36 ADHD: Treatment and Management48:47 ADHD: Personal Reflections and ConclusionsWork with Jeaninehttps://stan.store/mrsceo_jSubscribe to our Patreon:patreon.com/off_topicSupport us by following on Social MediaAmazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrsceo_jLTK Fashion Links: https://www.shopLTK.com/explore/MrsCEO_JInstagram: https://instagram.com/mrsceo_jInstagram: https://instagram.com/candidly_withcoffeeWeight Loss IG: https://instagram.com/@jsbodybootcampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsceo_jMike's YouTube Channel:  @escoelitefitness Mike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@escoelitefitnessSupport our Sponsors1UP Nutrition Code: JEANINEhttps://www.1upnutrition.com Built Bar Code: MRSCEOJhttps://builtbar.com?baapp=MRSCEOJCRZ YOGA code: MRSCEOJ to save 10%CRZyoga: https://us.crzyoga.com/?ref=JEANINEESCOBAR
