Description

What does ADHD *really* look and feel like – and does it manifest differently for women and men? Is it truly a lack of attention, or an “interest based nervous system,” where you have the ability to also hyperfocus where you’re truly passionate? Dr. Laura Gouge, a naturopathic physician, dives into both her own lived experience with ADHD and expert insights on how to support ADHD symptoms both physically and emotionally. This episode is a real "put the pieces together" moment for anyone looking to understand their own sensitive nervous system to create a more balanced life. We explore a ton of juicy topics, including ADHD as an adaptation, the pain-pleasure pendulum swing, and why we create chaos in our lives to trigger brain stimulation. Laura beautifully outlines why ADHD can often manifest as a streak of genius and why folks with ADHD can so easily hyperfocus on what they love.

 

HERE’S THE JUICE:

 

  • How symptoms of ADHD can vary quite a bit between childhood and adulthood

  • The TRUE reason why time blindness is such an obstacle for folks with ADHD and identifying tools to help
