“Unacceptably poor audio quality for it being 2022 now. The male speaker who starts many episodes is so boring it hurts.
There have been several questionable guest speakers recently that make me hesitant to trust this podcast as a reliable resource.
Tracy Otsuka, who has an incredibly ableist view of adhd that largely centers her very high-functioning personal experience as the sole experience. It’s toxic positivity. Many coaching businesses like hers focus on attracting higher-functioning individuals because that’s where the money is. She targets her desired audience, not the full scope of adhd. Also, the actual expert should have been answering questions and speaking first, not the layperson. There’s a moment where Tracy incorrectly answers a listener question regarding sleep and the doctor follows with the the correct info, but no one mentions that Tracy’s response is wrong.
In the recent menopause episode, the speaker lists Margaret Thatcher as a “great” woman. Seriously questioned her judgement afterward and could only listen to ~20mins after that. She also claims that there isn’t research being done regarding adhd and menopause, but there most certainly is- just not in the US. Why aren’t we hearing from those doctors in Scandinavia and Canada? This “expert” apparently isn’t even aware they exist.
I wanted this to be a trustworthy podcast.”
