Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____If you feel busy, stimulated, but still oddly unsatisfied, this episode will explain why. ADHD isn't a dopamine deficiency. It's a regulation problem. Tracy breaks down what dopamine actually does in the ADHD brain and why chasing it through scrolling, shopping, sugar, urgency, or constant stimulation leaves so many women feeling flat or burned out. ADHD brains don't have a broken gas tank. They have a sticky accelerator. The issue isn't pleasure. It's how often and how intensely we spike it.Tracy explains dopamine spikes versus baseline, why wanting outpaces liking, and why novelty driven motivation fades so quickly for ADHD brains. Drawing on neuroscience research, she shows how constant stimulation lowers baseline motivation and turns productivity hacks, new planners, and systems into part of the same dopamine loop. This has nothing to do with discipline or follow through. It's biology.The episode closes with practical ways to work with dopamine instead of fighting it, including dopamine pauses, time bound resets, replacement instead of restriction, and small doses of productive discomfort. Tracy explains why confidence comes from self trust and why environment design matters more than willpower. Dopamine isn't the enemy. It's fuel. Learning how to steer it changes everything.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

People Pleasing Is Dangerous for Autistic & ADHD Kids: What Parents and Therapists Need to Know People pleasing is often labeled as being kind, flexible, or mature. But for autistic and ADHD children and teens, people pleasing is often something else entirely. It's a self-protective survival strategy—one rooted in fear of rejection, emotional pain, and the belief that their needs are "too much." In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I talk about why people pleasing is especially risky for neurodivergent kids and teens, how it develops, and the early warning signs adults often miss. I also share a very real moment from my own life—standing in a grocery store with no water at home, right before a major ice storm—and how that moment revealed just how powerful (and dangerous) people pleasing can be, even after a year of hard work. This episode is for parents, therapists, and educators who want to support autistic and ADHD children and teens in building safety, boundaries, and self-trust—without pushing them into burnout. In this episode, I cover: What people pleasing really looks like in autistic and ADHD children and teens Why people-pleasing is closely connected to masking and emotional safety Early warning signs, including over-apologizing and difficulty saying no How people pleasing is often unintentionally reinforced by adults and peers Why people pleasing increases burnout, anxiety, and vulnerability in relationships How supporting capacity and boundaries can reduce meltdowns and shutdowns If you've ever worried that teaching boundaries might make a child "too rigid" or "selfish," this episode offers a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming reframe.

Today's episode is part one of a two-part series on dysfunctional families and ADHD.I'm sharing this from a very real place. The last few weeks have been heavy with extended family drama, and when things feel overwhelming, I name it and bring it into the light. As someone writing a book on healthy relationships for adults with ADHD, I want you to know I come by this work honestly.When I look at my own family tree, I see generations shaped by abuse, addiction, emotional neglect, and unaddressed mental health struggles. I refuse to despise my lineage—but I also refuse to continue these patterns. It stops with me.If you have ADHD, there's a strong chance your family system shaped how safe it feels to have needs, set boundaries, and regulate emotions. This episode isn't about blame or shame—it's about clarity.You'll learn:Why dysfunction can exist even when there was loveHow emotional neglect often goes unnoticedWhy guilt shows up when you set boundaries10 common signs of a dysfunctional family systemAwareness is how cycles are interrupted. In Part Two, we'll explore what healthy families actually look like and how to move toward that—without burning it all down.Episode Resources: Toxic Family Test Patrick Teahan YouTubeWatch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

While everyone talks about ADHD and time blindness, ADHD-ish host Diann Wingert spotlights the real bottleneck: working memory. She unpacks what working memory is (and how it's not just short-term memory), why ADHD brains often struggle to keep pace in business, and why brain games probably won't fix the problem. But it's not all doom and gloom—Diann shares honest strategies that actually work, from building reliable external systems to reducing cognitive load with templates, checklists, and automation.If you're tired of forgetting your best ideas or fumbling through processes you've done a hundred times, this episode will empower you with practical tips to actually work. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Working memory vs. short-term memory: Get clear on the difference (hint: it's not just about forgetting phone numbers!).Where working memory trips up your business: From client calls that go haywire to onboarding step mix-ups — see if any sound familiar!Why brain games aren't your magic ticket: Diann gives it to you straight about apps that overpromise and underdeliver.Practical, game-changing strategies: Discover ways to reduce your cognitive load and externalize what your brain shouldn't have to hold onto (checklists FTW!).How entrepreneurs with ADHD actually build smarter businesses: Find out why having to systematize things can become your secret advantage over neurotypical competition.Actionable Strategies to Outsmart Your Working MemoryBuild External Systems:Use voice memos obsessively to capture ideas instantly.Write everything down—client notes, tasks, processes.Use checklists for multi-step processes, every single time.Offload information for others; don't be their external hard drive.Automate and Template:Batch similar tasks to minimize context switching.Use templates and SOPs for recurring processes and emails.Automate scheduling, reminders, and follow-up wherever possible.Optimize Your Cognitive Capacity:Prioritize sleep, exercise, and stress management—your working memory tanks when these are out of whack.If you take ADHD medication, schedule your heavy-thinking work when it's at peak effectiveness.Try meditation to increase basic focus and reduce mental noise.About the Host:Diann Wingert (she/her) is a seasoned coach, consultant, and the creator/host of ADHD-ish.

If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child's school experience… If you're exhausted from meetings, emails, meltdowns, phone calls, and “something just isn't working”… If your child is bright, creative, kind, and capable — but school keeps telling a different story… This episode is for you. Today on ReDream Education, I am speaking straight to the families who feel trapped between public school and private school options that still don't fit. Maybe you're noticing anxiety, school refusal, burnout, boredom, sensory overload, bullying, or a complete mismatch between who your child is and the environment they're in. And I want you to hear this clearly: You're not crazy. You're not alone. And the problem isn't your child — it's the system. More parents than ever are waking up to the truth that traditional school models were not built for the needs of today's learners — especially neurodivergent children. And instead of waiting for slow, bureaucratic reform, families are taking the lead. Microschools. Homeschool hybrids. Learning pods. Flexible, personalized learning communities. These aren't fringe ideas anymore. They're becoming a movement — one that is growing because it meets the needs of real families. ⭐ In This Episode, I Share…

Handwriting isn't just pencil meets paper; it's purpose, posture, vision, and motor planning working in sync. On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast, Dr. Amy and Sandy sit down with occupational therapist and homeschool consultant Sarah Collins (The Homeschool OT) to explore how kids move from “hot mess” letters to confident, legible writing by addressing the real foundations: core strength, shoulder stability, explicit motor plans, and a clear sense that their ideas matter.We break down why cursive can be a game changer for productivity and flow, especially for ADHD and dyslexic learners, and how copy work—when used wisely—reduces cognitive load so kids can master patterns before juggling spelling and punctuation. Sarah shares practical strategies you can use today: vertical writing on mirrors or whiteboards, sand and tactile tracing, wooden letter forms, and programs like Size Matters for spacing and size or Learning Without Tears and its wet-dry-try sequence for consistent motor cues.Vision gets a spotlight too. From visual scanning to convergence, subtle eye issues can sabotage reading and writing. You'll hear how to spot red flags, when to consider referrals, and why multi-sensory practice helps the brain integrate “hardware and software.” We also revisit early milestones like crawling and cross-body play, connect them to later fine-motor readiness, and offer creative ways to rebuild those foundations if they were missed. Throughout, we focus on legibility over perfection, endurance for note-taking, and the powerful memory benefits of handwriting and summarizing in your own words.If you're a parent, educator, or homeschooler looking for evidence-based, real-world tools to make writing easier and learning stick, this conversation delivers.

A large Lancet meta-analysis found no clinically meaningful association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability after restricting analyses to adjusted and sibling-comparison studies, with odds ratios essentially null; acetaminophen remains first-line for pain and fever in pregnancy.

Finally, a U.S. cohort study of older adults linked shingles vaccination to lower inflammation and slower biological aging across multiple systems, though causality cannot be confirmed due to observational design.

In this episode I'm joined again by Dr Helen Machen-Pearce, psychiatrist and long-time autism specialist, to explore what autism really means and how it shows up in coaching, teaching, parenting, and relationships. We talk about the autism spectrum, neurodiversity, and why diagnosis has changed so much over the years. Helen shares how sensory processing, predictability, communication style, and nervous system regulation shape autistic experience, and what coaches can do to work more skillfully with autistic clients. We look at practical coaching adaptations, clear language, structure, boundaries, and why too much choice can be overwhelming. We also explore trauma, masking, creativity, embodiment, touch, and the overlap with ADHD.

What if the key to success wasn't fitting in—but finally giving yourself permission to stop trying? In this refreshingly raw episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan sits down with Fiona Fraser—founder of Power PR and former BBC publicist—whose unfiltered honesty about ADHD, identity, and the exhausting performance of "professionalism" will make you question everything you've been told about showing up. Fiona shares what it was like spending years learning to sit on her personality in corporate environments, the casual dinner party moment when two friends diagnosed her ADHD like it was obvious to everyone but her, and why she left TV during COVID to build her own agency. With trademark directness, she explains why she can't do small talk with senior executives when she's already defended their show all weekend, why anger was her go-to ADHD response, and why the spa isn't a luxury—it's nervous system regulation. Together, Cathleen and Fiona explore why "you're not sociable enough" often means "you didn't perform emotional labor we never asked for," the stop-and-drop cycle that leaves you sick on every holiday, and why Married at First Sight at 9pm might be the most important boundary you set. This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt like an alien in open-plan offices, been told to "try harder" with people who treat you terribly, or wondered if leaving corporate means failure—when really, staying stuck might be the only shame worth naming.     Episode Timeline:   00:11:02 From BBC to 19 years in television publicity 00:12:52 COVID, motherhood, and leaving TV to build Power PR 00:18:07 The biggest shame isn't failure—it's staying stuck 00:21:21 Breaking free from "work hard" culture 00:27:19 Ambitious vs. too ambitious: fear vs. self-protection 00:32:13 Hiring an assistant and letting go of instant email responses 00:36:32 The casual dinner party ADHD diagnosis 00:38:12 Energy waves with ADHD: ride it or drown 00:41:09 Sensory overload: coughing, sneezing, and rage responses 00:47:24 Feeling like an alien and never quite fitting in 00:50:09 "I can't do small talk"—relationship building for the sake of it 00:53:17 "You didn't try hard enough" after defending their show all weekend 01:01:45 The unashamed ADHD leader who gets results 01:09:09 PR without selling your soul: controlling your message 01:18:38 Final insight: Get yourself unstuck as quickly as possible​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​   Key Takeaway: Staying Stuck Is the Real Shame—Not Changing Your Mind: Just because you've had success doesn't mean you can never change again. You can leave corporate, struggle, even go back—none of it is failure. The only shame is staying somewhere that drains you when your days are finite. If you're good, you'll get another job. If you feel stuck, get unstuck as quickly as possible. Boundaries Protect Your Energy—And Your Energy Determines Your Results: For Fiona with ADHD, energy comes in waves: 8-11am peak, 12-3pm crash, 4-6pm comeback. Working effectively means protecting those windows fiercely and accepting that if work doesn't happen during your peak, it won't happen. Boundaries aren't about being difficult—they're about understanding how you actually work and setting up your day so you can deliver. Whether it's hiring an assistant for email or taking Fridays (mostly) off, it's about giving clients better results by protecting what's finite. Recognizing Strengths Matters More Than Performative Relationships: Real leadership isn't about making people go to lunch with executives who treat them badly. It's understanding how your people work, what drives them, and what they're actually good at. Build teams around what clients need and who they'll work well with. When you respect people's strengths and working styles, you get loyalty and results—not resentment and burnout. Your Achievements Aren't Bragging—They're Taking a Moment to Actually See Yourself: When leaders can't recognize their own achievements, they create cultures where no one does. Sharing your story—the hard parts, the barriers you've overcome—isn't "too much information." It's what makes you human. Recognizing what you've created isn't arrogance. It's seeing yourself clearly instead of racing past your own life.   About Fiona Fraser: Fiona Fraser is the Founder and Director of POW PR, the UK's leading podcast-focused public relations agency, where creators, production companies, and niche experts turn standout shows into chart-topping media brands.

Part 3  In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down fresh off an intense couples retreat to unpack what really happens when you stop pretending everything is fine and actually do the work. They debrief the weekend, talk about the energy shift created by Peaches' first guided meditation and sound bath, and share behind-the-scenes details from their women's and men's retreats, upcoming couples retreats, and the early stages of building their church and refuge for abused and struggling men and women. If you're into real marriage talk, couples retreats, guided meditations, chakras, psilocybin, spiritual growth, and practical relationship tools, this episode gives you a raw look at how they blend masculine leadership, feminine softness, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional processing to actually create change, not just talk about it. The heart of the episode is a powerful Patreon email series from a husband who went from cheating and poorly managed polyamory to radical accountability, therapy, ADHD awareness, and the hard question, “Are we still compatible as healthy people, or are we just together out of habit?” Chris and Peaches walk through infidelity, open relationships, trauma-bonding, rebuilding trust after betrayal, neurodivergent “spicy brains,” communication breakdowns, resentment, and what it actually looks like for both partners to earn each other again. If you're wrestling with whether to stay or leave, healing from cheating, navigating poly-to-monogamy, questioning compatibility, or trying to understand ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your marriage, this conversation will hit home and give you straight, no-fluff relationship advice you can start using today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

If rejection (or even perceived rejection) feels physically painful, overwhelming, or impossible to shake, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) a widely recognized experience (though not a formal diagnosis) that's especially common in people with ADHD, and anyone who struggles with intense emotional reactions to rejection, criticism, or disapproval. This episode covers: What RSD actually feels like and why it can feel physically painful The difference between real rejection and perceived rejection Common triggers (and why perception matters more than reality) What's happening in the brain during an RSD spiral Signs you may be experiencing RSD Why people-pleasing, avoidance, overachievement, and rumination don't actually help How RSD differs from “normal” emotional sensitivity The link between RSD, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation This episode isn't about “toughening up” or stopping emotions from happening. It's about learning how to move through rejection without losing yourself to it and rebuilding a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. If you've ever thought, “I know this is irrational, but it feels unbearable,” this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next.

In this enlightening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt tackles the pervasive issue of instant gratification and its detrimental effects on personal growth and fulfillment. Drawing on her experiences with clients in recovery, Brianne highlights the struggle many face when it comes to sitting in discomfort and resisting the urge for immediate pleasure. She candidly shares her own journey with instant gratification, likening it to a toddler's relentless desire for instant rewards.Throughout the episode, Brianne delves into the neuroscience behind instant gratification, explaining how it drives impulsive behaviors and hinders long-term goals. She contrasts this with the concept of delayed gratification, emphasizing its importance in achieving greater self-control, improved decision-making, and ultimately, a more satisfying life. Listeners will learn practical strategies to combat impulsive tendencies, such as identifying triggers, setting clear goals, and creating personal reward systems.This episode serves as a powerful reminder that true growth often requires patience and the ability to endure discomfort. Join Brianne as she encourages you to lean into the uncomfortability and embrace the journey towards meaningful change, rather than succumbing to the allure of instant satisfaction.

Have you ever noticed how certain lighting instantly makes you feel edgy - like your eyes get tired, your head feels busy, and your patience disappears faster than usual?This episode wasn't part of the original plan for the Safety Series, but it felt important enough to add.Because in this one, I'm talking about something we rarely connect to hormones, or PMS: the way your eyes take in light all day long. You might be surprised to learn how that small light bulb in your bedroom can actually keep your brain working overtime. The screens we stare at, even just to relax, and the constant visual input our brains are trying to process, can quietly pile on stress without us ever connecting the dots.Over time, that extra demand can show up as irritability, low energy, and even ADHD-like symptoms, especially later in your cycle.A few things I talk through in this episode:Why your eyes can keep your nervous system switched on even when you're restingHow certain types of light quietly make PMS and overwhelm feel worseSimple, affordable changes that can help your brain wind down at nightThis conversation is practical, gentle, and very doable. No perfection needed. And no expensive bio hacks either.Listen in, take what feels doable, and remember: even small changes in what your eyes take in can make a meaningful difference over time.Download the new 20-min private podcast training - Simply Nourished CyclesBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, or you suspect you might have it, listen in on this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush and Dr. Jennifer Dall talk about unmasking neurodivergence and managing it holistically.Are you often forgetful? Do you pile lots on your plate, but have a tough time following through with all of it? Do you have a hard time getting organized? Do you beat yourself up about all of it or do you put your nose to the grindstone and work twice as diligently to be who you think you're supposed to be? If any of that sounds familiar, go easy on yourself. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a soul guide for highly sensitive women, welcomes Jennifer Dall, EdD, a grief-informed neurodivergence specialist and founder of ADHD Holistically, for a discussion of women and ADHD (attention deficient hyperactivity disorder). They'll talk about myths and misconceptions, diagnosing ADHD later in life, management strategies and more. “A lot of people think ADHD is the 8-year-old boy who is impulsive and hyperactive and not the good girl who is focusing and smart and working really, really hard.”  — Jennifer DallFind all full show notes and resources for every episode here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

In this episode, I share how I use accountability as a practical tool for ADHD without it feeling punishing or pressured. If you've got ADHD (or AuDHD), deal with time blindness, procrastination loops, or resistance like PDA / demand avoidance, this approach can help you stay present, reduce overwhelm, and actually follow through. I break down the three types of accountability (personal, public, and community), explain why body doubling works so well for ADHD brains, and show how simple check-ins can turn "I'm stuck" into momentum—plus why celebrating small wins rewires motivation over time.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Sarah invites Dr. Elizabeth Beg Hall, an expert in adult ADHD and psychiatrist, to discuss executive function challenges faced by physicians, particularly those with ADHD. Dr. Hall shares her professional journey from family medicine to psychiatry, highlighting the importance of psychoeducation and executive function skills development. They explore common struggles such as time management, charting, and the impact of life transitions like menopause and parenthood. Dr. Hall offers practical advice on enhancing productivity, using tools like time tracking and setting realistic goals. She also emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, kindness, and understanding one's strengths to manage executive function effectively. Tune in to gain valuable insights into managing ADHD and improving executive function skills in the demanding field of medicine. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: ADHD in High-Achieving Physicians is Real—and Often Missed: Intelligence, creativity, and strong relationships help many physicians compensate for ADHD symptoms through medical school. Diagnosis often comes later when scaffolding disappears—starting practice, having children, menopause, or taking on leadership roles. The myth that "you can't have ADHD if you're a doctor" keeps many from getting help. Executive Function Skills Matter for Everyone, Not Just ADHD: Supporting your executive function—through proper sleep, regular meals, movement, and brief breathing breaks—benefits all physicians. These aren't just "ADHD strategies"; they're fundamental tools for managing cognitive fatigue and the overwhelming administrative burden of modern medicine. Start Small: Track, Reflect, and Be Kind to Yourself Instead of trying to fix everything at once, try tracking your time for just one hour or one morning. Then reflect: What were your expectations? Were they realistic? This awareness helps you adjust without shame. Multiply your time estimates by three, control your environment (headphones, closed doors, no wifi), and remember—you're not going to do groceries in a 20-minute break. Meet Dr. Elisabeth Baerg Hall: Elisabeth Baerg Hall MD, CCFP, FRCPC As a respected speaker, educator, and therapist specializing in adult ADHD, Dr. Baerg Hall is known for her leadership in building capacity to care for and improve services for adults with ADHD. She is passionate about advancing physician wellness, particularly in supporting medical professionals who have ADHD, through her targeted physician program, Build a Better Core and other Executive Function Workshops. She directs the ADHD Centre for Education and Training. She led development of ADHD Skills Builder, an online modular ADHD psychoeducational program funded by the James Family Foundation.

What if you could stop saying "I don't know how to do that"… and start saying "give me an hour"? In this episode of Mums on Cloud Nine, Heather, Lynne and Kelly share how they use AI to make lifelong learning easier, faster, and genuinely enjoyable, even if you struggle with focus, motivation, or traditional online courses. We cover: How AI gives you "sticky skills" you can add to your CV quickly Why learning isn't just about work, it's about confidence and momentum in life The moment AI stops feeling like homework and starts feeling like magic Why demos matter: you don't adopt tools until you see what they can really do ADHD learning styles: how to learn in a way that actually sticks The emotional rollercoaster of mastering new tech (and why it's normal) This is a real, funny, practical conversation about staying relevant in a changing job market… and becoming the kind of person who can reinvent themselves whenever they need to. If you've been stuck in "I'll start Monday" mode, this one's for you.

Joyce Maynard has been writing for 53 years. At 18, she landed on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, caught the eye of J.D. Salinger, and disappeared into a relationship that would define her for decades—until she finally told her story and was called a "predator" by Maureen Dowd. In this conversation, Joyce talks about being canceled before canceling was a thing, surviving as a Me Too survivor before Me Too became a movement, and why she returned to Yale at 65 only to discover she reads in the 17th percentile.  TIMELINE: 00:35 Being canceled before it was a thing 01:47 The New York Times Magazine cover story at 18 03:29 JD Salinger's letter and the beginning of their relationship 04:30 Moving in with Salinger and giving up Yale 05:39 Keeping the secret for 25 years 06:22 Writing "At Home in the World" and the backlash 08:26 When 18-year-olds dating 53-year-olds was "romantic" 09:41 The Charlie Rose interview (and what happened after) 10:27 Why the culture turned against her in 1998 11:23 Can you separate the artist from the art? 13:25 Teaching memoir to women in Guatemala 15:45 Writing family sagas and "How the Light Gets In" 16:31 Growing up in a problematic family 17:00 Mother's writing bootcamp from age 3 22:23 Including real-world events (Trump, January 6th) in fiction 24:09 Writing is not therapy or catharsis 29:43 Throwing away manuscripts that aren't good enough 30:08 Discovering ADHD at Yale at age 65 32:08 The D-minus French exam that changed everything 34:22 Reading in the 17th percentile 36:39 The gift of ADHD 40:39 "You cannot be a writer if you're not a reader" - and why that's wrong 41:48 Character-first vs. plot-first writing 43:33 Never knowing where the story will end (vs. John Irving) 44:18 No outlines - "outline is for a term paper" 46:22 Finding inspiration in news headlines 47:49 Why some stories are memoir and others are fiction 50:48 On sensitivity readers and the transgender character 51:44 When characters display "politically incorrect" attitudes 52:57 Fear of cancellation from the left 53:29 Trigger warnings at Yale and the softening of everything

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses self-harm, mental health crises, sexual content, and parental regret.A parent of a 17-year-old daughter with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts describes years of burnout, crisis management, and reaching a breaking point. From phone restrictions to parental PTSD, this story raises uncomfortable questions about autonomy, responsibility, mental health, and what happens when caregiving becomes all-consuming.

Stress, trauma, and nutrition are often treated like separate issues but what if they're all part of the same conversation? In this episode of Adulting with ADHD, Sarah sits down with licensed nutritionist and author Meg Bowman to explore how the nervous system and nutrition are deeply connected, especially for adults with ADHD. Meg shares how her own Crohn's diagnosis led her into the world of mental health nutrition, and why supporting the nervous system is just as important as choosing the "right" foods. Together, they unpack how stress and trauma shape the body's relationship with food, why consistency can feel extra hard with ADHD, and how nutrition can become a source of safety rather than another area of pressure or shame. This conversation offers a compassionate reframe: instead of asking "What should I be eating?", we can start asking "What helps my body feel safe enough to eat?" In this episode, we talk about: How the nervous system and digestion influence each other Why fear, stress, and trauma can shut down hunger cues What polyvagal theory has to do with food and regulation Why traditional nutrition advice often doesn't work for ADHD brains How visibility, simplicity, and support can make eating easier The idea of "taking care of future you" with low-effort planning How community and shared executive function can reduce decision fatigue Meg also shares insights from her book, This Is Your Body on Trauma, including: How trauma shows up in the body as inflammation Why chronic stress is linked to long-term health conditions A framework for understanding food, gut health, stress, and mental health together How to build a personal nutrition toolkit that feels supportive instead of restrictive If food feels complicated, overwhelming, or emotionally loaded, this episode offers a gentler way forward, one that centers safety, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion instead of perfection.

Danielle Gansky was diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder at age 7. Soon, she was prescribed a daily cocktail of powerful psychiatric drugs that she would be on for years. A new Wall Street Journal investigation reveals that children who start on ADHD medication at a young age are more than five times as likely to be prescribed additional psychiatric drugs. WSJ's Shalini Ramachandran breaks down that investigation. WSJ's Ryan Knutson hosts. Further Listening: - Is America on Too Many Psychiatric Drugs? Sign up for WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
