ADHD IS OVER!

DAD ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER is a very powerful episode with Dr. Peter Breggin MD, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former Consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health who has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his many decades of successful efforts to reform the mental health field. His work provides the foundation for modern criticism of psychiatric diagnoses and drugs and leads the way in promoting more caring and effective therapies.

His research and educational projects have brought about major changes in the FDA-approved ‘Full Prescribing Information' or labels for dozens of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. He continues to educate the public and professions about the tragic psychiatric drugging of America’s children.

Dr. Breggin has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books, including “The Ritalin Fact Book”, “Talking back to Ritalin” and the bestseller Toxic Psychiatry.

As a medical-legal expert, Dr. Breggin has unprecedented and unique knowledge about how the pharmaceutical industry too often commits fraud in researching and marketing psychiatric drugs.

Most recently, Dr. Breggin has turned his attention to the misuse of the science surrounding COVID-19 and its origins in what he calls "global predators."  Dr. Breggin and his wife Ginger R. Breggin have written a new book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey.

THERE IS NO ADHD GENE is an episode with my guest Dr. Bruce Lipton, an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A stem cell biologist, the bestselling author of “The Biology of Belief” and a recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, Dr. Lipton has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as a keynote presenter for national and international conferences.

Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating through the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off.

His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes, predicted one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics.

This is especially of interest to our ADHD movement since the field of epigenetics essentially proves that ADHD is not a so-called ‘genetic disorder’ and that nobody is predetermined to have it and in the worst-case scenario simply predisposed to it. But the power is with our minds and our ability to change our environments to better serve our individual human life experiences.

Listen in to hear my conversation with the world's most passionate biologist I know, Dr. Bruce Lipton!! If you're into splitting atoms around ADHD and genes, I promise you that this is your episode!

YOUR PRESENCE IS EVERYTHING is a powerful and enlightening conversation with Author, speaker and consultant Jim Shiels. Jim is the co-founder of board meetings international, a company that specializes in parent/child retreats, using a combination of experiential education and fun activities, like surfing and other oceanfront adventures to teach vital life lessons not taught in schools. Jim's book, 'The Family Board Meeting' was ranked as a number 1 parenting Kindle book on Amazon and in this episode, Jim shared some key concepts from his work, including why Family Board meetings matter, the effects they have on our children, the difference between paying attention to a child versus giving a child our full presence and Jim and I discussed the possible reason why so many entrepreneurs have been diagnosed with ADHD.

Diagnosed during his childhood with ADHD and a brief and destructive experience with stimulant medication, Jim has since embraced his superpower and he thinks that we're all unique and most of us entrepreneurs are just not made to sit still at a desk and follow orders. Hence, we create our own businesses and thrive that way. But entrepreneurs often struggle with allocating enough time to spend with their families.

We talked about the concept of 'paying attention', spending scheduled quality time with each child once every quarter.

Listen in and hear for yourself some nuggets of wisdom that Jim shared with me!

HOW [NOT] TO ADHD is an exposé on how many experts out there in the 'Coping Camp' cherry-pick studies to suit their own agendas. Furthermore, many slogans and terms have been loosely thrown around by experts & activists alike.

In this episode, we explore the saying "People with ADHD have a harder time with rejections", as well as "People with ADHD are more likely to end up doing drugs, get in trouble and even end up in jail - because of their ADHD."

When we dig deeper into these type of statements, we quickly see that it's all none sense and not really addressing what's going on in the lives of these children (or adults). It's not the ADHD, its the friction in their lives that cause them to show traits that will quickly get labeled and diagnosed as a 'disorder'.
