What happens to ADHD when the scaffolds of career and parenting fade, and we're left navigating a world that's quieter, slower… and far less structured?This week on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki are joined by one of the most influential voices in ADHD research and advocacy: Dr. Kathleen Nadeau. An internationally recognized expert and the author of 14 books on ADHD, Kathleen is the founder and director of the Chesapeake Center—one of the largest private ADHD specialty clinics in the U.S. Her career has been defined by breaking new ground for underserved ADHD populations, and today she turns our attention to one of the most overlooked groups of all: older adults.Drawing on extensive research—including interviews with more than 150 individuals for her groundbreaking book Still Distracted After All These Years: Help and Support for Older Adults with ADHD—Kathleen guides us through the realities of aging with ADHD. She brings nuance, humor, and urgency to topics like isolation, structure loss, hormonal shifts, executive dysfunction, and the ADHD tax that shows up in the fine print of Social Security forms and medical claims. We discuss how declining circadian rhythms and deep sleep disruption may connect ADHD to increased dementia risk, and why the U.S. is still lagging behind global standards in using hormone replacement therapy to support cognitive health in aging women with ADHD.But this conversation isn't about despair—it's about reinvention, resilience, and the power of community. Kathleen shares powerful stories of support groups that thrive beyond professional guidance and offers practical strategies for maintaining purpose and mental clarity well into our later years.If you or someone you love is navigating ADHD after 50, this is the episode that finally speaks to that experience—with candor, compassion, and hard-won insight.Links & NotesStill Distracted After All These Years: Help and Support for Older Adults with ADHD by Dr. Kathleen NadeauThe End of Alzheimer's by Dr. Dale Bredesen“The How and Why of Sleep” NIH Video LectureThe Chesapeake CenterThe VillagesSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (02:51) - Support the Show at patreon.com/theadhdpodcast (03:22) - Introducing Dr. Kathleen Nadeau (04:19) - How Does ADHD Evolve as we Age?

Welcome back to Pushing the Limits for another insightful episode. Today, we dive into Kaatsu Training with Sandy Nelson, exploring how this blood flow restriction technique boosts bone density, muscle growth, and brain health for older adults and athletes. Key Points: Research suggests Kaatsu Training helps older adults with osteopenia by improving bone density. It seems likely that Kaatsu Training increases IGF-1 and BDNF, supporting muscle and brain health. The evidence leans toward Kaatsu Training offering neuroprotection, likely via BDNF. Kaatsu Training appears to enhance athlete performance, aiding recovery and strength. What is Kaatsu Training? Kaatsu Training, also known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, is a method where special bands partially restrict blood flow to the limbs during exercise. This creates a hypoxic environment in the muscles, promoting growth and strength with lighter loads. It was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato and is used for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Benefits for Older Adults and Osteopenia For older adults, Kaatsu Training can help combat osteopenia, a condition with low bone density. Studies suggest it can maintain or increase bone density, reducing fracture risk and supporting mobility, especially for those with joint issues like osteoarthritis. Its low-impact nature makes it suitable, allowing strength gains without excessive joint stress. Impact on IGF-1, BDNF, and Neuroprotection Research indicates Kaatsu Training increases Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), vital for muscle and bone health, and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), important for brain health. This likely contributes to neuroprotection, potentially reducing neurodegenerative disease risk by supporting cognitive function. Benefits for Athletes For athletes, Kaatsu Training can enhance performance by improving muscle strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights. It can also aid recovery by promoting growth hormones, reducing muscle damage, and allowing more frequent, intense training, benefiting Olympians and professional athletes.

Story at-a-glance Consuming just four servings of ultraprocessed foods daily increases depression risk by 10% in adults over 70, according to a six-year Australian study of 11,192 older adults Ultraprocessed foods trigger inflammation, disrupt the gut-brain axis and cause oxidative stress — all known contributors to depression and cognitive decline in older populations Linoleic acid (LA) in vegetable oils damages cellular mitochondria, reducing energy production and increasing inflammation; keep daily intake below 5 grams, ideally under 2 grams Dietary changes that support mental health include eliminating vegetable oils, focusing on whole foods and choosing filtered water over sweetened drinks Many people underestimate their processed food consumption; tracking food intake for five days helps reveal hidden sources of inflammatory ingredients affecting brain function

Nearly half (46%) of persons aged over 75 years had never used the internet, according to CSO (2021). To help bridge this digital divide, Rethink Ireland and the Vodafone Foundation have launched the €540,000 "Hi Digital Fund". This two-year fund will support five innovative organisations that are providing services for older adults aged 65 and above to develop essential digital skills. Applications for the fund are open from today (14 April) and close on 26 May 2025. Applications can be made here: Hi Digital Fund - Rethink Ireland The fund will provide cash grants and business support for social innovations that enhance digital literacy and inclusion for older adults in their community, bridging Ireland's digital skills gap. It promotes innovative approaches to ensure no one is left behind, teaching essential skills like smartphone use, e-health and smart home tech. The Hi Digital Fund has been created by Rethink Ireland - the funding body thinking differently to create a more just, equal and sustainable Ireland - and is supported by the Vodafone Foundation, private donors and Department of Rural and Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund. "Digital exclusion is a silent crisis affecting thousands of older adults across Ireland," said Deirdre Mortell, CEO of Rethink Ireland. "Through the Hi Digital Fund, we're not just teaching tech skills - we're reconnecting people to essential services, reducing isolation, and enabling independent aging. This fund represents a critical investment in ensuring no older person is left behind in our increasingly digital society." Head of Vodafone Foundation, Liz Roche stated: "At Vodafone Foundation, we believe that everyone, regardless of age or ability, should have access to the digital world. By funding Rethink Ireland, we will grow to support five new organisations across Ireland so that they have the resources to help older adults improve digital literacy skills and online confidence. We're dedicated to reaching even more isolated people and making technology accessible for all". Also supporting the launch, Roisin Mills, Programme and Training Commissioner from the Irish Girl Guides, said: "At Irish Girl Guides, we believe in creating an equal and inclusive world for all. We are proud to partner with the Vodafone Foundation to deliver the Hi Digital programme, an initiative designed to empower older people with essential, real-world digital skills. Through this experience, not only our youth members are helping others to grow in confidence and ability, but they are also developing invaluable personal skills themselves, including communication, empathy, patience, and leadership" This fund will support diverse community initiatives and sustainable digital literacy programmes that remove barriers for older people who are unfamiliar with the digital world. The Vodafone Foundation will donate €250,000 over two years, with an additional €20,000 from private donors, totalling €270,000. The Department of Rural and Community Development will match this amount via the Dormant Accounts Fund, resulting in a total fund of €540,000.

In episode 5 Dr. Karyne Messina and Dr. Harry Gill talked about what can happen when middle-age and older adults watch screens too much as opposed to engaging in other important tasks in life during Erik Eriksson's last two stages of development. In the “Generativity versus Stagnation” stage (ages 40-65), productive individuals focus on contributing to society by raising families, engaging in meaningful work, and connecting with their communities. This can't be done in optimal ways when people spend too much time watching screens. Excessive screen time may also lead to a sense of stagnation if it prevents individuals from engaging in life in meaningful ways. In the “Integrity vs. Despair” stage (65+ years old), people who are connected to others don't watch screens excessively because they are engaged in life in their later years reflecting on what they have accomplished whether it is through writing books or sharing information with others in different ways. Too much screen time can interfere with the ability to engage in a meaningful review of one's life. Instead of sharing wisdom with younger generations, older adults who focus of watching screens for many hours a day may become isolated and disconnected from real-world interactions, potentially leading to a sense of despair. Dr. Messina discussed the fact that adults who spend 6 or more hours a day on social media platforms tend to be much more depressed and anxious than those who don't. Dr. Gill talked about the effects of too much screentime on sleep, explaining how blue light emitted by screens interferes with falling asleep because of the lack of production of melatonin. This prevents people from falling asleep. They both talked about the benefits of turning off phones and televisions early in the evening so that a person, couple or family can have quality time participating in some type of meaningful activity versus watching what people on screens are saying or doing. Another topic included in this podcast and YouTube video outlined ways to mitigate problems associated with too much screen time. Dr. Messina focused on the importance of community which she thinks is important at all ages. If getting together in person isn't possible, talking with a friend on the phone is better than using this device for passive purposes such as scrolling through social media posts. Dr. Gill reminded people how important it is to meet in person and said some of his patients have actually enjoyed going back to work full-time once they have gotten used to it again. He added that screen aren't always negative later in life if people aren't able to meet in person. For example, if older people can't drive or easily meet with friends or family members in person, he said some of his patients have weekly Zoom meetings with others which helps them feel connected. Drs. Gill and Messina talked about being addicted to screens and what people can do about this condition which starts with a commitment to set limits and make rules about screentime. Finding other worthwhile or pleasurable activities was included in the discussion such as listening to music, reading, painting, doing crossword puzzles, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the “Integrity vs. Despair” stage (65+ years old), people who are connected to others don't watch screens excessively because they are engaged in life in their later years reflecting on what they have accomplished whether it is through writing books or sharing information with others in different ways. Too much screen time can interfere with the ability to engage in a meaningful review of one's life. Instead of sharing wisdom with younger generations, older adults who focus of watching screens for many hours a day may become isolated and disconnected from real-world interactions, potentially leading to a sense of despair. Dr. Messina discussed the fact that adults who spend 6 or more hours a day on social media platforms tend to be much more depressed and anxious than those who don't. Dr. Gill talked about the effects of too much screentime on sleep, explaining how blue light emitted by screens interferes with falling asleep because of the lack of production of melatonin. This prevents people from falling asleep. They both talked about the benefits of turning off phones and televisions early in the evening so that a person, couple or family can have quality time participating in some type of meaningful activity versus watching what people on screens are saying or doing. Another topic included in this podcast and YouTube video outlined ways to mitigate problems associated with too much screen time. Dr. Messina focused on the importance of community which she thinks is important at all ages. If getting together in person isn't possible, talking with a friend on the phone is better than using this device for passive purposes such as scrolling through social media posts. Dr. Gill reminded people how important it is to meet in person and said some of his patients have actually enjoyed going back to work full-time once they have gotten used to it again. He added that screen aren't always negative later in life if people aren't able to meet in person. For example, if older people can't drive or easily meet with friends or family members in person, he said some of his patients have weekly Zoom meetings with others which helps them feel connected. Drs. Gill and Messina talked about being addicted to screens and what people can do about this condition which starts with a commitment to set limits and make rules about screentime. Finding other worthwhile or pleasurable activities was included in the discussion such as listening to music, reading, painting, doing crossword puzzles, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode 5 Dr. Karyne Messina and Dr. Harry Gill talked about what can happen when middle-age and older adults watch screens too much as opposed to engaging in other important tasks in life during Erik Eriksson's last two stages of development. In the “Generativity versus Stagnation” stage (ages 40-65), productive individuals focus on contributing to society by raising families, engaging in meaningful work, and connecting with their communities. This can't be done in optimal ways when people spend too much time watching screens. Excessive screen time may also lead to a sense of stagnation if it prevents individuals from engaging in life in meaningful ways. In the “Integrity vs. Despair” stage (65+ years old), people who are connected to others don't watch screens excessively because they are engaged in life in their later years reflecting on what they have accomplished whether it is through writing books or sharing information with others in different ways.

Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the latest research on exercise and longevity, focusing on the newly published Global Consensus on Optimal Exercise Recommendations for Enhancing Healthy Longevity in Older Adults. They explore why resistance training is essential for healthy aging, preserving muscle mass, bone density, and overall function. Tune in to hear about the role of strength training in disease prevention, how to adapt your exercise habits as you age, and how professionals like personal trainers and physiotherapists can play a bigger role in public health. Dr. Fisher begins by explaining what the authors of the paper mean by "global consensus." Looking at the list of contributors, it becomes clear that this is a collective agreement among some of the most respected academics in the fields of exercise science, longevity, and health. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss the connection between longevity and quality of life. They agree that longevity isn't just about extending lifespan—it's about maintaining a high quality of life as we age. Living longer is only meaningful if we can remain independent, active, and free from debilitating medical conditions. Dr. Fisher covers the exercise modalities discussed in the paper, placing a strong emphasis on resistance training. While other modalities like aerobic exercise, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and balance training are beneficial, resistance training is singled out as the most effective for combating age-related muscle loss and maintaining overall functional capacity. Amy shares how our exercise needs evolve throughout different stages of life. Why exercise is an amazing defense against illness. Dr. Fisher highlights how regular physical activity not only improves strength and mobility but also plays a crucial role in preventing illness. By engaging in resistance training, individuals can reduce their risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Amy emphasizes that one of the best gifts we can give ourselves is strength. Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that strength training should be performed under the guidance of a qualified personal trainer to ensure exercises are done correctly, minimizing the risk of injury while maximizing effectiveness. Dr. Fisher covers the medical conditions positively impacted by resistance training. While we are living longer than ever, cognitive decline remains a major concern. Strength training has been shown to have significant benefits for brain health, including reducing the risk of dementia and improving cognitive function. Dr. Fisher clarifies that strength training isn't just about lifting heavy weights—it's about engaging muscles against resistance in a controlled way. Even individuals who are hospitalized or living in residential care facilities can participate in some form of resistance training to maintain their strength. Dr. Fisher shares a striking quote from the paper: “No medications currently enhance fitness, functional capacity, or alleviate frailty. Thus, physical exercise remains the most effective therapeutic intervention for disease prevention and management as well as maintaining functional abilities.” Why individuals should prioritize resistance training over cardiovascular training. Dr. Fisher makes the case that while cardiovascular exercise is beneficial, resistance training should take priority, especially as we age. By prioritizing strength training early on, Amy believes individuals can build resilience so that when illness or injury occurs, they are already in a better position to recover quickly. How to make exercise the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. For Dr. Fisher, engaging in regular physical exercise creates a ripple effect of healthy habits. Amy reinforces a simple but powerful truth: we cannot improve our health by doing nothing. Every meaningful change requires action, and exercise is no exception. Amy and Dr. Fisher reveal how The Exercise Coach promotes a well-rounded approach to fitness, health, and strength. The overarching goal of the paper is to promote physical activity in all adults, with a particular emphasis on older populations. Regardless of age or current fitness level, engaging in regular exercise leads to an improved quality of life. Dr. Fisher highlights an important point: if more people adopted exercise as a health intervention before they needed medical care, it could significantly reduce the strain on healthcare systems like the National Health Service. The role of fitness and personal trainers in improving public health. Dr. Fisher highlights how fitness professionals, physiotherapists, and gym owners can have a more prominent role in society, as they are the ones actively working to prevent disease through exercise. Finally, the paper emphasizes the importance of evidence-based exercise programs that are tailored to the needs of different populations, particularly older adults. Amy shares the Exercise Coach's approach of using scientifically-backed training methods, ensuring that individuals receive safe, effective, and accessible fitness solutions.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!
