On this new Summer ADHD WW mash-up episode, we have Kat Brown, a freelance journalist and commentator whose work on ADHD, mental health stigma, and other social and art commentary has appeared in national titles, including The Telegraph, Grazia, "Woman’s Hour," Woman’s Health, and The Times. Her new book, It's Not A Bloody Trend, a guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, is out now.

In this short clip we discuss:

• Accepting you don't have to do life perfectly, but make it work for you.
• Advocating for yourself and other people
• Being driven by purpose and passion

Here on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm passionate about bringing you the conversations that improve health, wellbeing and quality of life after a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis.

In the second clip on today's episode, we discuss the latest findings in epigenetics, neuroscience and nutrition with Dr Rachel V. Gow, PhD, nutritional Neuroscientist, Neuropsychologist and Neurodevelopmental specialist with expertise in various mental health conditions and associative learning and behaviour differences.

In addition, Dr. Gow is also a registered nutritionist, has published 22 peer-reviewed book chapters and scientific papers. She has extensive knowledge of neurodiverse learning and behavioural differences and the effects of dopamine-enhancing brain‐selective nutrients. Her book - “Smart Foods for ADHD and Brain Health” - is available on Amazon.
