About this episode
What if everything you thought you knew about treating ADHD was only half the story? Dr. Amy Moore, Cognitive Psychologist and ADHD expert, returns to challenge conventional thinking about medication-first approaches and reveals surprising lifestyle interventions that can transform brain function. From the unexpected connection between sugar and hyperactivity to why traditional therapy often fails people with ADHD, this conversation explores revolutionary approaches to neurodevelopmental support.
Key Discussion Points:

- How gentle parenting might be creating less resilient children than expected
- Why talk therapy fails ADHD brains during emotional dysregulation episodes
