When we protect the pace of childhood, everyone in the family heals. In this illuminating conversation, Dr. Natasha Beck—also known as Dr. Organic Mommy—shares how slowing down, simplifying, and removing hidden toxins from our homes can transform not just our kids' health, but our own. Diagnosed as a child with ADHD and dyslexia, Dr. Beck eventually uncovered how diet, environment, and overstimulation were shaping her well-being. Now a pediatric neuropsychologist, she helps families create calmer, more connected lives through practical changes—like her two-week “fragrance-free” challenge that has surprised even the most skeptical parents. (Follow her work on Instagram, Substack, and her podcast When Millennials Become Moms.) From food choices and slow tech habits to the Waldorf philosophy and her “Three S's” framework—sleep, sugar, and screens—Dr. Beck and Ginny Yurich explore how a developmentally appropriate childhood actually restores balance for parents too. This episode is both practical and freeing, showing that you don't need to overhaul your life overnight. One slow evening, one home-cooked meal, one outdoor day at a time—those small shifts might be the self-care your whole family has been missing. Learn more about your ad choices.

When Atira Roberson was in first grade, she was evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD, dyscalculia, and a specific learning disability. But she didn't find out about those diagnoses until college — when she went through all of her old paperwork herself. Growing up, Atira knew she was different and was bullied because of it. Her mother was her biggest advocate, but her parents chose not to tell her about her diagnoses at the time. In this episode, Atira — now an English language arts teacher — shares how learning the truth changed the way she saw herself, and how it shaped her passion for teaching and education policy today.For more on this topic: Why Black girls with learning disabilities need more visibility, from the Opportunity Gap podcastTo be Black in America with a learning disability, by Atira RobersonWhat are learning disabilities?For a transcript and more resources, visit ADHD Aha! on Understood.org.

Because he was Developmentally Delayed at birth, Aliyah Vida was not that surprised when her son Joshua, who was affectionately known as Goose,  slipped while walking to the bathroom and hit is eyebrow, causing a small bump.  Unfortunately this bump continued to grow, as did his feeling lethargic, and then not eating or drinking. Goose was then diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in April of 2022, and this form of Pediatric Cancer led to his passing in April of 2024, before he was to turn 4 years of age.

For years, I thought I was just busy. Running a podcast, a charity, doing my doctorate, working full-time, raising a child - that's just life, right? But when I was diagnosed with combined ADHD (moderate to severe) in my 40s, everything finally made sense. In this deeply personal episode, I'm stepping away from our usual dyslexia focus to share my own ADHD diagnosis journey - the signs I missed for decades, the internal chaos I thought was normal, and why getting help changed everything. What I cover: - Why I never thought I could have ADHD (despite working with it for years) - The signs I dismissed: constant internal dialogue, unfinished tasks, extreme fatigue, childhood anxiety - How medication helped me in ways I never expected - Why the "everyone's a bit ADHD" narrative is harmful - Addressing the over-diagnosis myth - and why women in their 40s+ are finally getting diagnosed - Why men are likely underdiagnosed (and what we can do about it) - The link between ADHD and dyslexia (they highly correlate) Key takeaway: If these traits are impacting your quality of life consistently - not just occasionally - that's when it might be ADHD. Everyone forgets things sometimes, but if it's life-altering where you can't function, that's different.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____You walk into a room and forget why you're there. You miss deadlines even though you care deeply about the work. You can remember a random conversation from 15 years ago but not what someone just told you five minutes ago.Welcome to life with an ADHD brain and a memory system that works differently.Dr. Daniella Karidi knows this firsthand. Diagnosed with ADHD in her fifties after a therapist friend sent her a book she initially dismissed as "for kids," Daniella finally understood why she'd always felt "off" despite being highly successful. A researcher who earned her doctorate from Northwestern University studying memory and ADHD, Daniella is now the founder of ADHDtime, where she works as a professional ADHD and executive coach. She's spent years translating complex memory research into practical strategies that actually work for ADHD brains and in this conversation, she breaks down exactly why our memory fails us and what we can do about it.Daniella and Tracy dive deep into prospective memory (remembering to remember in the future), why time-based cues are terrible for ADHD brains, and the five steps where memory can break down. Daniella explains why we forget we took our medication, why she needed multiple cues instead of just one, and why she believes people who master their own memory patterns can finally stop feeling like they're failing at life. She also shares the grief and relief of late diagnosis, and why she'll never stop advocating for better understanding of how ADHD women's brains actually work.Resources:Website: https://www.adhdtime.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ADHDtime Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDtimeSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Leland Vittert didn't speak until age three. Diagnosed with what we now know as autism, he spent middle school crying himself to sleep while his father repeated one message: "The qualities that make you bullied now will make you successful later." In this raw conversation, Leland opens up about his memoir Born Lucky, a father-son story about choosing resilience over accommodation and truth over popularity. We talk about the decision his parents made not to shelter him from adversity, but to hold his hand through it. About learning to turn isolation into independence, and pain into purpose. This isn't a polished highlight reel. It's an honest look at neurodivergence, parenting choices, bullying, and what it costs to stand your ground when the truth matters most. Key moments: Growing up neurodivergent before we had the language for it The parenting decision that changed everything Why middle school bullying prepared him for Washington newsrooms Finding your voice when you literally couldn't speak The father-son relationship that became his foundation Whether you're a parent of a struggling kid, someone who's faced isolation, or anyone trying to find strength in their story, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and the reminder that your hardest seasons might be preparing you for something greater. Guest: Leland Vittert is a journalist and author of Born Lucky, chronicling his journey from a nonverbal child with severe learning disabilities to a voice millions trust.

If you listened to our podcast today, you will have heard how about two years ago Tim Alden was Diagnosed with Dementia.  Now, this is not that unusual. 10 million cases are diagnosed annually.  What is unusual was the good humored determination with which they set out to navigate this stage of life. We're lucky to have Tam's story below, as originally published in The Voice, publication of Panorama.org Also available is the heart warming  movie made for PanoramaTV, produced by Brian Hovis. We've embedded that in Tam's story at https://itsnevertoolate.com/tim-and-tam-a-love-story-for-today for you to watch. A New Wave to Ride BY TAMRA ALDEN From The Voice It's fear. Fear that people will see our gray hair, glasses, unfashionable clothing and make quick assumptions of who we are, old people on the downhill side of life, with slow reflexes, expressing world views seen through a 70+ year old lens of history, and now out of touch. The last thing we want to be accused of is “losing it” mentally. These were my thoughts when I began noticing my husband of 53 years doing things that seemed a bit off. I didn't want to accuse him of “losing it.” So, I quietly observed and became more aware, going behind with corrections if needed. About a year later, a trip to Urgent Care changed our world. We thought it would be a simple diagnosis of a bladder infection. Lab results were negative for that, but it piqued the doctor's curiosity enough to request a brain scan, which eventually revealed microvascular dementia. This dire diagnosis opened doors to a brighter world for both of us. READ MORE of Tamra's article at https://itsnevertoolate.com/tim-and-tam-a-love-story-for-today Learn more about your ad choices.

Jackie highlights key links between lifestyle choices and breast cancer risk, such as maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding tobacco. As the host of Fox Business, she brings her insights into the significance of awareness and proactive health measures. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on resilience, prevention, and the importance of being informed about breast cancer risks.American Cancer Society (ACS) - Breast Cancer Screening & Risk Factorshttps://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer/screening-tests-and-early-detection.htmlCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - Breast Cancer: Risks and Screeninghttps://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/risk_factors.htmNational Cancer Institute (NCI) - Breast Cancer Prevention and Risk Factorshttps://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/patient/breast-prevention-pdqWorld Health Organization (WHO) - Breast Cancer Screeninghttps://www.who.int/cancer/prevention/diagnosis-screening/breast-cancer/en/Mayo Clinic - Breast Cancer risk factors and screening testshttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/breast-cancer/in-depth/breast-cancer/art-20048268 Hosted on Acast.

Janice Cowden, retired nurse and patient advocate, shares her remarkable triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) story. Five years following successful treatment for stage one breast cancer in 2011, Janice was diagnosed with a stage 4 metastatic TNBC recurrence. As of today she has 8 years of no evidence of disease (NED) under her belt. She shares how she stumbled upon the cancer community that inspired her to become the advocate she is today and the uncertainty that comes with NED. She also shares how she copes with losing friends in the cancer community through her patient advocacy work. We also have a rapid fire Q&A where she answers questions surrounding various medical terminologies, diagnoses, and more to keep you in the loop. NOTE: There is one clarification from the rapid fire Q&A session. The definition of disease free survival (DFS) is the time from random assignment (used in clinical trials and research studies to assign participants to different groups) to cancer recurrence or death from any cause (Gutman SI, Piper M, Grant MD, et al. 2013).Key Highlights:1. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage four breast cancer that has spread to distant sites in the body.2. Finding events and communities centered around cancer not only supports cancer patients emotionally and socially, but can also serve as informational hubs. Being proactive in learning about your diagnosis, whether it's through community and/or research on your own time, can help you feel confident with the choices you make. 3. While finding a community of other cancer patients can help, unfortunately this disease means that you will lose friends you make in these settings. It doesn't necessarily get easier, but finding an outlet to cope with such losses is vital to your wellbeing.About our guest:Diagnosed with Stage IV triple negative breast cancer in 2016, five years after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, Janice launched into patient advocacy following training through Living Beyond Breast Cancer's (LBBC) Hear My Voice Outreach program in 2017. As a peer-to-peer support and research patient advocate, Janice is passionate about supporting others with metastatic breast cancer, in addition to continually furthering her scientific knowledge base of this disease, treatments, and clinical trials, which she acquires through attending scientific breast cancer conferences and webinars. Janice is involved with several patient-founded and led organizations including PCDI, GRASP, and Project Life MBC. As a trained peer support volunteer, she is founder of an international online peer support group for patients newly diagnosed with MBC. She serves on the Board of Directors for METAvivor Research and Support Inc., and is an Advisory Board member for Project Life MBC. She is an individual member of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance. When she's not busy with advocacy work, Janice enjoys traveling, reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family, including her husband, two adult children and three grandchildren.Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Diagnosed after losing his mother to cancer, Fajgenbaum endured five near-death experiences before using his medical training to identify sirolimus—a repurposed drug—as a life-saving treatment, achieving remission marking over a decade cancer-free as of 2025. A Georgetown University graduate with advanced degrees from Oxford and Wharton, he co-founded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) and Every Cure, leveraging AI and drug repurposing to unlock hidden treatments, earning spots on TIME's 2025 TIME100 Health list and major media recognition for his "cure thyself" story. Through his book Chasing My Cure and speaking engagements, Fajgenbaum inspires hope, advocates for patient-driven research, and pushes for policy changes to speed up cures for rare diseases affecting millions worldwide.
