Are we mistaking sleep deprivation for ADHD? John Maytham is joined by Dr. Alison Bentley from the Restonic Ezintsha Sleep Clinic to explore growing concerns that many teenagers diagnosed with ADHD may actually be suffering from chronic lack of sleep. With packed schedules, late-night screen exposure, and early school start times, teens are more sleep-deprived than ever — and it’s manifesting as poor concentration, restlessness, and inattention. Dr. Bentley unpacks the risks of misdiagnosis, the role of lifestyle factors, and how we can better distinguish between true ADHD and the effects of exhaustion. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

As Christian parents, we are called to raise our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We must be doing what we can to lead them into an adulthood that is spiritually, emotionally, relationally, intellectually, AND physically healthy. Their physical health depends greatly on how we teach them to steward their God-given bodies during their childhood and teenage years. One aspect of this that's related to today's youth culture regards caffeine intake. Are you aware, for example, that your local quickmart drink coolers are filled with aggressively marketed caffeine-infused energy drinks that appeal to teens? And, are you aware that ER visits due to eating or drinking too much caffeine have doubled among middle school kids, and almost doubled for our high schoolers between 2017 and 2023? Parents, we need to educate our kids on God-honoring matters of health and on the dangers of caffeine intake, along with setting borders and boundaries for their consumption.

Parents, as you help your kids learn how to steward their God-given bodies to His glory by maintaining their health, you need to keep in mind some new research findings from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia regarding our kids and high blood pressure. Hypertension is a health issue here in the U.S., and you might surprised to learn that it's not just a problem for adults. One in seven kids ages twelve to nineteen have hypertension. Traditionally, doctors have blamed being overweight and a lack of physical exercise as causal factors. But now, they are citing an additional cause: lack of adequate sleep. Did you know kids under the age of six need ten to thirteen hours of sleep per night for healthy growth and development? Kids ages six to twelve need nine to twelve hours a night. Those ages thirteen to eighteen need eight to ten hours per night. Take stock of how much sleep your kids are getting, and be sure that their phones are removed from their rooms overnight.

She encourages parents to talk to their teens about eating, exercise and empowered health.

"O" stands for "original", as original, unique creations of God. "R"  stands for "relationships", pressing into receiving the fullness of Christ through our relationship with God and our relationship with others.

You've no doubt heard the phrase, “Garbage in, garbage out.” I remember my own youth pastor telling us that a car has been created with great care to run smoothly on the right kind of fuel. He used the illustration of what happens to car when someone maliciously pours sugar into the gas tank. It wreaks havoc on the engine, as it clogs the fuel filter and injectors. Of course, my youth pastor was teaching us about what we put into our minds. But I thought about his words when I read recently that researchers at USC are warning us that kids who feast on a high-fat, sugary diet run the risk of doing damage to their brains' ability to remember. This is especially important for us to remember since our kids are growing through a period of life where their brain if forming and developing. While the researchers are basing their findings on studies done on rats, we can't discount the potential dangers. Parents, you are called to teach your kids to steward their bodies to God's glory. 

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the influence of digital platform food marketing on teenagers and raises concerns about pesticide residues in commonly consumed food items. Drawing on findings from the Public Health Nutrition Journal, Leyla explains how teens are targeted by food advertisers on social media through strategic campaigns that influence their food choices, often promoting unhealthy products like fast food and sugary drinks. Leyla criticizes the unethical nature of these marketing practices, emphasizing their potential to shape teen dietary habits negatively. The episode also covers a pilot study from the Journal of Exposure Scientific Environmental Epidemiology detailing the presence of Chlormequat, a plant growth regulator, in food and urine samples, highlighting its potential risks to human health, including reduced fertility and fetal development issues. Leyla advocates for increased media literacy, stricter regulatory measures to protect young consumers, and encourages organic food choices to minimize pesticide exposure.

This episode discusses four MMWR reports. First, extreme heat caused more emergency department visits in several U.S. regions in 2023 than in previous years.

Adolescence marks a time of significant changes in physical development. It's a time when teens question what's happening to their bodies and what's expected. They often compare themselves to their friends — noticing differences in height as they stand in line or their bodies as they change into gym clothes. Sometimes these changes in development can trigger both parents and teens to have concerns. Those issues can range from concerns about puberty, physical development, self-esteem, and body image. In this episode, we will review some common concerns and issues related to physical development so you are more comfortable discussing questions and concerns.

March 17 is World Sleep Day, and it might be a challenge for teens and pre-teens to get all the shuteye they need this month. Between the start of Daylight Saving Time and the arrival of spring and all of the activities that come with the warmer months, there are plenty of events that can disrupt a good night's rest.This month's "Pulse" guest is talking all about sleep — and the lack thereof — and how prolonged loss of sleep impacts children. Ze Wang, PhD, is a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. He and a team of researchers published findings, in the journal Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, from analyzing data provided by the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. Wang shares what the study revealed, what kind of cognitive impacts resulted from a lack of sleep, and what the impact of later school start times have on children's sleep.Listen to The UMB Pulse on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon, and wherever you like to listen.

In this episode, I speak with my friend and fellow Village of Inspiration member, Dr. Miriam Mandel. Dr. Mandel gets deep and hits a home-run on topics that need more conversation, as they will greatly improve the outlook of our kids. Understanding the adolescent brain; how kids interpret some verbal communications and facial expressions. This was an eye opener for me! She also talks about teen vaping and its impact on the brain, something that kids and parents need to be more knowledgeable about. Why adolescents need ample sleep, and the affects in can have on their daily routines. She left clinical pediatrics and has been researching and teaching the connections between mind and body medicine for over 13 years. Her passion is teaching individuals, especially teens and their families, to look for the answers they are seeking on the INSIDE, where all the answers lie. Dr. Mandel currently sees individual clients but most of her time is working with K-12 staff (and parents) in public and private schools helping them learn to self-regulate and self soothe, using their physiology and mindset. She supports them in learning these skills for themselves and the natural progression of teaching it to their students by being the example. It's a win-win.

From a young age, Hina knew she enjoyed working with children and somehow wanted to incorporate that into her career–as long as she wasn't a pediatrician like her mother!  Hina went through most of her college career without pursuing pre-med, so she was able to have experiences outside of the traditional pre-med track that still significantly contributed to her future path.  As a new resident of NYC on 9/11, Hina's plans changed when she fell in love with the city and decided to stay.  Join us for this conversation about her experience through college, medical school, residency, and fellowship, as well as the important work happening in the field of Adolescent Medicine.  In the last few years, Hina has emerged as a public voice for the field and has learned how a career in medicine can unexpectedly look much different than a traditional path.You can follow Hina and learn from the important information she posts at @teenhealthdoc on Instagram and at www.drhinatalib.com.

More and more kids are being diagnosed with chronic illnesses these days–anything from allergies to severe depression. You may have experienced this with your own teen, whether it's constant trips to the psychiatrist for changes in anxiety meds, or endless food sensitivities that seem to come out of nowhere. In 2018, research revealed that 54% of kids are chronically ill, up from 15% a few years before. This means that chronic illness is growing among young people at a rapid rate…but why?The answer lies in our guts. We might view our digestive system as having one function–food in, waste out–but the truth is a lot more complicated. Our guts contain the mechanisms that monitor our immune system, regulate our bloodstream and even control our mind's function! The food we put into our gut doesn't just affect our digestion…it shapes our long term physical and mental health!This week, we're talking to Dana Kay, author of Thriving With ADHD: A Guide to Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute. Dana is a holistic health expert who focuses on educating parents about gut health. She helps families understand that a better diet can relieve symptoms for a myriad of health issues among children–including ADHD and other mental disorders. She's worked with over one thousand families to create better overall health for chronically ill kids!In our interview, Dana breaks down the function of the gut within the body, and why so many kids suffer from conditions that result from poor gut health. We're also discussing what dietary changes can be made to heal our guts, and how we can convince our kids to change their diets for the better.

Nobody will innovate or take risks until a community that is safe has been built. Teaching is professional yet at the same time deeply personal. It's a holistic profession. Building relationships creates a community. Building report creates an institution. We all want to work in communities. The light bulb moment is the click moment when it comes to building relationships. It's important that you pause and take time to let people know that you see, hear, and know them. Leaders need to model relationship building for their teachers. It's important to help teachers start improving by focusing on their strengths and building from there. Schools should be joyful places of learning.
