S5E25 How to Go From Underwater to Thriving With ADHD | Dr. Laura Gouge
Manage episode 432535083 series 2611207
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
Why people with ADHD oscillate between hyper-productivity and struggling to get anything done & how to find the middle ground
Tangible ways to build up your nervous system
Why dopamine plays such an essential role in interest-based nervous systems
The idea that ADHD is actually an adaptation
How to support ADHD symptoms through diet and managing histamines
Why the liver plays a key role in ADHD symptoms
