How to Go From Underwater to Thriving With ADHD | Dr. Laura Gouge

How to Go From Underwater to Thriving With ADHD | Dr. Laura Gouge

Ep 127. 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
