Wonderful holistic uplifting!
I am a PMHNP (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) student (I graduate in a few months!). I have ADHD myself. I have listened to and read countless hours of ADHD podcasts, read a lot of medical literature as well as general audience ADHD books (actually I listen to them on audio books because reading is challenging for me). I enjoy this podcast immensely. The podcasts’ hosts positive tone on the "disorder" is so refreshing. The hosts are refreshingly honesty and have a pleasant report. I appreciate the non-medical tone as well. While none of the information and suggestions they provide is new to me, I appreciate how they synthesize it all into an easily digestible podcast. I suggest beginning with the first (oldest) podcast and listening from oldest to newest. The hosts suggestions on diet, exercise, habits, lifestyle are excellent and mostly evidenced based. However, I do not appreciate how they emphasize “working with ADHD… without the use of medications”. Of course, everyone wants to stop taking meds, I feel their comments on meds place guilt on us “hunter types” who still take medications. As PMHNP and ADHD “patient” I completely agree that diet, exercise, holistic, vitamins, and lifestyle are essential to healthy and fulfilling life with ADHD. HOWEVER, until you are dialed in with holistic ADHD lifestyle (and during times of stress when you may slack on your holistic lifestyle), you may benefit from medications. There is already so much shame and guilt about taking a pharmaceutical medication, I wish they would leave medications out of their discussion. When I prescribe meds, I prescribe and emphasize diet changes, exercise, supplements, etc. I believe these are equally if not more effective than medications. If your prescriber does not discuss this with you at each visit and provide resources, I encourage you to find a more holistic prescriber. I suggest asking your provider to check labs for MTHFR genotype mutations and labs for nutritional needs BEFORE beginning medications. Besides this these guys are wonderful. Thank you so much for the wonderful podcast and inspiration.Read full review »

I wish I had this book when when I was 20 and the podcast is really helpful. Bahmann hosts and interviews the author. Both give excelent personal insight into the strengths and obstacles for people who are wired this way
