83 // Is Self-Care in ADHD Possible? | Why it Matters

Join me in this fascinating interview with Dr. Joaquin Anguera, an associate professor in the department of neurology and psychiatry at UCSF. Dr. Anguera shares some of the research he's done, how it's connected to ADHD and how he views neurodiversity.  Dr. Anguera works at a center called Neuroscape that tries to enhance brain function across the lifespan. More specifically, they are experts in cognitive neuroscience and run clinical trials using homegrown technology to improve abilities, including attention and working memory in different populations (including ADHD!). This is such an interesting conversation, so be sure to grab a snack, get comfy and join us!   Resources: To learn more about Dr. Joaquin Anguera and the important research he is doing, head to: https://neuroscape.ucsf.edu/

Host Kelsey Spronk speaks with Dr. Garth Stewart about his personal ADHD journey and the neuroscience behind the condition. Dr. Stewart explains how ADHD brains show excessive slow-wave activity, why outward hyperactivity often reflects internal under-arousal, and how stimulant medication and neurofeedback can change brainwave patterns. The episode offers practical advice for parents and adults—activity-based supports, fidget tools, classroom strategies, and guidance on when to seek diagnosis and treatment—plus clear links between attention, memory, and everyday behavior.
