Description

Host Kelsey Spronk speaks with Dr. Garth Stewart about his personal ADHD journey and the neuroscience behind the condition.


Dr. Stewart explains how ADHD brains show excessive slow-wave activity, why outward hyperactivity often reflects internal under-arousal, and how stimulant medication and neurofeedback can change brainwave patterns.


The episode offers practical advice for parents and adults—activity-based supports, fidget tools, classroom strategies, and guidance on when to seek diagnosis and treatment—plus clear links between attention, memory, and everyday behavior.
