In this Neurodivergent Reddit Stories episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott unpack three relatable neurodivergent struggles: dyspraxia and coordination issues, the confusing world of neurotypical “social greasing,” and the never-ending battle with sleep.Funny, chaotic, emotional, and painfully relatable — this episode is a deep dive into the everyday realities of living in a neurodivergent brain.Our Sponsors:

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, an Integrative Medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author specializing in chronic fatigue syndrome, details “adrenal fatigue,” contrasting Endocrine Society guidelines focused on overt adrenal failure with his view that the adrenals can be functionally exhausted and may be missed by standard testing and “normal ranges.” They discuss adrenal roles in stress response, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, immunity, and symptoms suggesting low adrenal function (irritability when hungry, sugar cravings, fatigue, recurrent infections, lightheadedness/brain fog, mood shifts). Contributors include high sugar intake, chronic stress, dehydration, and salt restriction, with modern media fear/divisiveness cited as a major stressor; hypothalamic dysfunction and circadian rhythm disruption may cause “tired but wired” insomnia. They cover options such as licorice (not DGL), dietary and lifestyle changes, Adrenaplex, adaptogens (ashwagandha standards, HRG80 red ginseng study), phosphatidylserine for high nighttime cortisol, cautious low-dose hydrocortisone thresholds, and DHEA/pregnenolone considerations, plus resources at endfatigue.com.

Why Anxiety, Meltdowns, Sleep Problems, and Emotional Dysregulation May Have More to Do With Modern Childhood Than We ThinkChildren today are more anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, and emotionally exhausted than ever before.But what if one of the biggest threats to their mental health isn't something happening online…It's what's missing offline?In this incredibly powerful and emotional episode of the Child Psych Podcast, Dr. John La Puma joins us to unpack what he calls The Indoor Epidemic — the silent shift away from sunlight, outdoor play, movement, nature, boredom, independence, and real-world connection that is fundamentally changing childhood.This conversation will likely make you see parenting — and modern life — differently.We explore why children's nervous systems are struggling, why so many kids seem emotionally dysregulated and chronically stressed, and how today's indoor, screen-filled lifestyle may be contributing to rising rates of anxiety, attention difficulties, sleep problems, sensory overwhelm, and disconnection.But this episode is not about guilt.It's about hope.Dr. La Puma shares practical, science-backed ways families can reconnect with the outdoors, regulate the nervous system naturally, and begin restoring the kinds of experiences children's brains and bodies desperately need to thrive.If you've ever looked at your child and thought:“Why do they seem so overwhelmed lately?”“Why does everything feel harder than it used to?”“Why can't screens seem to satisfy them?”“Why do we all feel so disconnected?”This episode is going to hit deeply.In This Episode:The hidden psychological cost of indoor childhoodsWhy nature is one of the most powerful nervous system regulatorsThe surprising link between sunlight, movement, sleep, and emotional healthWhat kids lose when free play and independence disappearHow modern life is reshaping children's brains and stress responsesSimple changes that can dramatically improve family well-beingThis is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear.

Kim Rogers spent over 20 years in Western medicine running 25 healthcare colleges, teaching as a professor, authoring medical materials, and earning two healthcare degrees, all while battling chronic illness herself. In 2019, her health declined severely, leading her and her husband to sell everything and move to their property to build a log home and focus on healing. After exploring natural approaches, including mushrooms, Kim discovered parasite cleansing in 2021. Within days, she saw major results, and after sharing her experience online, her story quickly went viral. Motivated to help others, Kim co-founded RogersHood in 2021, creating ParaFy cleanse kits focused on supporting the body's detox process. Since then, she has built a community of over a million followers and a growing company with 30+ employees and a self-built 10,000 sq ft manufacturing facility. Through her journey, she also uncovered mold toxicity and chronic Lyme as root contributors to her illness, reinforcing her mission to help others explore deeper causes of their health challenges.   SHOWNOTES:

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions High-Masking Autism, Anxiety, and the Multi-System Pattern of Chronic Invisible IllnessDr. Michael Lenz reacts to Auticate's video on autistic health and connects it to fibromyalgia-like “multi-system” chronic invisible illness, describing 11 doctors in a year before an autism diagnosis and a pattern of persistent symptoms despite normal tests. The script reviews common co-occurring issues in autistic people: skin burning/itching and psoriasis, GI problems (GERD, bloating, diarrhea), chronic cough with inconclusive lung workups, urinary frequency/nocturia, insomnia and restless legs/periodic limb movement disorder, widespread muscle tension and pain consistent with fibromyalgia flares after meltdowns, migraines, immune/allergy conditions (including mast cell issues), possible POTS/dysautonomia, and frequent mental health misdiagnoses and medication side effects. It argues a major culprit is chronic anxiety/fight-or-flight from high masking, and explains why medical care is hard for autistic people (waiting, sensory overload, communication, dismissal). It offers self-advocacy tips (lists, disclosure, processing time, bring support) and calls for more integrated, autism-informed healthcare.00:00 Reacting 00:29 The Multisystem Pattern02:24 Skin Symptoms Explained03:41 Gut Issues and Reflux04:57 Chronic Cough Mystery06:25 Urinary Frequency and Pain07:42 Sleep Problems and RLS09:56 Muscle Pain and Flares11:11 Migraines and Sensory Overload12:53 Immune Issues and POTS14:18 Misdiagnoses and Masking15:32 The Culprit Anxiety Loop17:54 Why Doctor Visits Are Hard22:30 Self Advocacy Doctor Tips27:34 Wrap Up and Call to Share Click here for the YouTube channel Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper, dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try and find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Prevalence, Patterns, and Predictors of Sleep Problems and Daytime Sleepiness in Young Adolescents with ADHD." And so this is a study that's investigating the high prevalence of sleep-related issues in adolescents with ADHD, and this paper is also trying to distinguish between, like, nighttime sleepiness disorders and daytime sleepiness. So the story here being that, hey, maybe ADHD might not be caused by poor sleep quality alone, but there are, like, strong links to other things like sluggish cognitive tempo, which we'll all get into. So how about that? Let's dive in.

If allergy season leaves you feeling exhausted even after a full night's sleep, you're not imagining it. Seasonal allergies can disrupt sleep quality through histamine release, inflammation, and nighttime congestion that fragments deep sleep. In this video, we explore how allergies affect sleep architecture, why histamine increases wakefulness, and how different types of allergy medications — including diphenhydramine (Benadryl), cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), nasal steroids, and decongestants — may impact drowsiness and next-day alertness. Learn practical strategies to improve sleep during allergy season, including medication timing, environmental controls, and ways to reduce nighttime inflammation. If you struggle with allergy fatigue, brain fog, or restless sleep during high pollen months, this evidence-based discussion will help you make more informed choices for better rest and better health.

Parents of children who are 'short sleepers' — kids genetically programmed to survive on four hours of rest (and pure chaos) — we see you. We unpack the science on Parenting Out Loud this week of why some kids are simply 'built different'... and why the rest of us are drowning in caffeine. Plus, we need to talk about the fetishisation of the 'Involved Father'. From Chris Hemsworth’s commemorative tattoos to the rise of the ‘Swiftie Dad,’ why does society throw a parade when a man does the bare minimum, yet side-eye Bobby Cannavale for skipping the Golden Globes to go to a reptile expo? (Justice for Bobby, tbh). And, ex-One Directioner Zayn Malik is single-handedly causing Tooth Fairy inflation, but the real digital horror story is the school Facebook group. Is opting out of the 'digital footprint' a smart move, or does it just make you the ‘weird’ privacy parent who everyone is accidentally tagging anyway? Our Recommendations:

The state released new health data Wednesday about students across Minnesota. The 2025 Minnesota Student Survey shows that students are generally reporting better mental and physical health than they did when they took the survey last, back in 2022. But they were asked about a new topic this time around: social media and screens. That was where students reported a bigger struggle. University of Minnesota professor Jodi Dworkin studies how technology shapes child development and she helps parents navigate children's use of social media and screens. Dworkin joined MPR News host Nina Moini on Minnesota Now.

Dr. Brown shares why sleep hygiene matters, the surprising connection between ADHD and sleep disorders, and her CREATE framework for better sleep. Whether you're dealing with a toddler who won't stay in bed or your own 3 a.m. wake-ups, you'll walk away with actionable tools to help your entire family get the restorative sleep you need.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/112   Follow us on our socials: https://www.instagram.com/planningplaytime/ https://www.facebook.com/Planningplaytime/ https://www.pinterest.com/planningplaytim/

Jesse Cook is a PhD candidate in the Dr. David Plante Sleep Research Laboratory and studies biological, psychological and sociological factors that connect with unexplained excessive sleepiness. He was first drawn to Alzheimer's disease (AD) research through the connection between sleep health and AD, and the prevention, detection and potential treatment implications of this connection. Cook believes sleep health disparities across underrepresented groups may help explain disproportionate risk of AD. He is currently completing his dissertation, and intends to pursue a career in behavioral sleep medicine as a clinical psychologist.   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | The New Gold Standard for Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Monitoring Learn more about Fibion: fibion.com/research --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover new Fibion SENS Motion: https://sens.fibion.com/

Let's talk about sleep. If you've listened to this podcast for a while, you know I'm pretty obsessed with sleep. I talked about it during my Year of Ease episode (ep. 9) and in the health episode (ep. 82) about how to realistically make time for your health—and I shared how, in my totally inexpert opinion, if you don't know where to start, I'd start with sleep because of the ripple effect it has on everything else. But here's the thing: while I care a lot about sleep, I'm not an expert in it. That's why I'm so thrilled to bring you this conversation with someone who is: Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown.

She is a consultant and a speaker on regional, national, and international platforms. She has also published several peer-reviewed manuscripts on various sleep disorders. She obtained her sleep medicine training at the University of Pennsylvania.  In this episode, we talk about: Why sleep is so important and what can happen when we don't get enough of it The ripple effects of both sleep deprivation and solid sleep—on your mood, productivity, memory, immune system, mental health, decision-making, and long-term health how to improve both the quantity and quality of your sleep, especially when life is busy A helpful CREATE acronym Dr. Funke walks us through to realistically improve sleep hygiene For women with ADHD, some additional practical strategies that might help Tips for shift workers and anyone whose job schedule makes sleep harder to protect How to start realistically making small changes to protect your sleep even in full seasons of life This episode is packed with helpful, actionable information.

An episode that tosses and turns!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * Autistic people struggle greatly with sleep, and while it's not in the DSM, it definitely should be.* Many autistic traits overlap with factors that could contribute to sleep issues.* For example, sleep apnea is common in autistic individuals but often goes undiagnosed. Factors like muscle tone differences, sensory sensitivities, and co-occurring conditions may contribute, yet research on this connection remains limited.* A major factor leading to autistic burnout is not getting the physical rest we need, which ultimately contributes to exhaustion and burnout.* Autistic individuals also often experience delayed sleep phase onset, meaning we tend to be naturally late risers and stay up later as well.* Sleep issues are a common part of everyday life for autistic individuals, but they can be even more challenging for autistic children, who have less control over their routines.* One of the most common sleep problems is simply taking more than two minutes to fall asleep after lying down, a struggle that many autistic people face.* Additionally, both insomnia and hypersomnia are very common among autistic individuals.* Our interoceptive abilities are impaired, so while they may signal that something is wrong, they don't always let us know when we're tired.* Also, our bodies are also hypersensitive to environmental factors, making sleep even more difficult.* Autistic people struggle with transitions, making it difficult to both fall asleep and wake up.* One of the best ways for autistic people to reduce sleep problems is by embracing a low-demand lifestyle.* Sleep isn't optional—it's essential. Prioritizing good, healthy sleep is crucial to supporting your needs.* The best way to combat autistic sleep troubles is by creating a lifestyle that aligns with your needs—this means reducing unnecessary demands, honoring your natural sleep-wake cycle, managing sensory inputs, and building routines that support rest rather than force it.“We autistic people have meat bodies that just fall apart. And without good, restorative sleep, our bodies don't get the rest they need in order to rebuild. ” - Matt“Without good sleep, our bodies deteriorate, we might get fibromyalgia, it raises our cortisol levels, it can lead to epigenetic changes, it can be a factor that leads into POTS and lupus - a decreased immune response, or an increased immune response because we're on high alert all the time.” - Matt“It's not the kid's fault. It's not the parent's fault for how you wake up. It's society's fault for waking you up when you should not biologically be awake.” - Matt“I could have gone to a doctor's appointment every day for my narcolepsy, and they would have tried to find a cure. The cure was creating a low-demand lifestyle where I was unmasked and accepted that I am a part of a beautiful, rich tapestry of autistic culture. And then my narcolepsy went away, no drugs included.” - Angela “God, the obsession with melatonin. How about a life that you don't need melatonin from?” - AngelaDid you enjoy this episode? We explored how sleep challenges impact autistic individuals, from delayed sleep phases to sensory sensitivities and struggles with transitions.

Did you know that up to 40% of adults in Western countries struggle to get enough sleep? While some societies have historically never even had a word for insomnia, our modern world has created an epidemic of sleep problems, which affect not only our creativity, empathy, appetite and mood but countless other aspects of who we are, too.   This week's guest is Professor Guy Leschziner, a neurologist at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London and a professor of neurology and sleep medicine at King's College London. He is also the author of several books, including The Secret World Of Sleep: Tales of Nightmares and Neuroscience and his latest, Seven Deadly Sins: The Biology of Being Human.   In this fascinating conversation, we discuss: The crucial distinction between chronic sleep deprivation and clinical insomnia - understanding which affects you is key to finding the right solution The importance of sleep quality - not just quantity - and why some people can sleep for hours, yet still feel unrested An incredible treatment called CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) which has an 80% success rate for insomnia The real impact of common lifestyle factors on sleep - like caffeine, screen time, and blue light  The pros and cons of sleep trackers  Practical strategies for shift workers - discover how to adapt your sleep schedule if your work includes irregular hours The fascinating connection between societal sleep deprivation and our collective wellbeing   With over two decades of experience running sleep disorder clinics, Guy brings clarity to the often confusing world of sleep, offering evidence-based insights and practical solutions throughout our conversation.    As he points out, our sleep needs are highly individual, so I hope this episode guides you in finding the approach that works best for you.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Listen and learn: Why sleep apnea is on the rise and its effects on health The pros and cons of sharing a bed with children or grandchildren Myths vs. reality around wine, cannabis, and prescription sleep aids How to use the CREATE acronym to prepare for restful sleep LINK: TheRestfulSleepPlace.com ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is triple board-certified in pediatrics, pediatric pulmonology, and sleep medicine, reflecting her extensive expertise in these areas.

Stem cells serve as foundational building blocks of the human body. The exciting new science of regenerative medicine is uncovering how human stem cells can be utilized to facilitate healing, lower inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissues throughout the body. And while these types of therapies are largely inaccessible to most people right now, the good news is that there are certain inputs you can give your body that will help generate stem cells naturally.   On today's show, you're going to learn about five specific foods that can boost and mobilize your stem cells. You're going to hear how certain foods, nutrients, and compounds have been proven to influence stem cell activity.
