Linda Breaks It Down: 1, 2, and an Actionable 3

Remember, ADHD challenges/Executive Function imbalances with the changing realities of our lives always create timing issues. And, just as in sports, if you can’t hit the ball, you can’t run to first. Executive function challenges create timing errors that interfere with your personal development on many levels.

These ADHD Recovery Essentials will help you more efficiently dance to the music.

I came to coaching through experience with organization

Overwhelm should become a specific diagnosis  

Overwhelm from either too much input or driven efforts at perfection

Or the third type where the brain just shuts down

Their hope is gone in the fog of overwhelm

The origin of the Negative Inner Critic

Our thoughts are not facts

The Healing Path out of overwhelm

This simple formula works A+B = C 

A simple tool to move past your negative

Adrenal Fatigue Recovery

Joel Hensley, Burlington KY /Cincinnati OH. Clinical Nutrition/Health Coach/ Fitness Coach is a client guest with a personal story of adrenal fatigue and more natural recovery based on, as we heartily and repeatedly recommend, informed biomedical testing. With testing, he discovered the reality of what he felt somatically and sought to correct his unexplained chronic fatigue, lethargy, and confusion.

Adrenal Fatigue, Adrenal Exhaustion, Chronic Fatigue Are Treatable

Noteworthy is his consequential use of the Qualia supplement from Neurohacker. Joel ran an adrenal hormone panel [see the second page here for hormone testing video explanations] to discover confirmation of his suspicion of adrenal exhaustion.

His presentation: foggy mind, no concentration, drive or mental stamina. His treatment with a variety of supplements helped him deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder, mild depression, anxiety, and anger. He felt better, but still had no edge, so he went deeper in his search for improved recovery strategies.

His adrenal fatigue search and journey, with links to his process below, led him to the Qualia supplement protocol.

Ed Note: I started posting about adrenal fatigue issues at CorePsych more than 10 years ago, and in that span of time witnessed an evolution in thinking, medical recognition, and treatment options. Why consider adrenal fatigue? Simple: treatment failure occurs if the underlying cause is not first identified, then measured, then treated appropriately. Cortisol imbalances in the adrenal don’t respond effectively to neurotransmitter manipulation with psychiatric medications.

Stimulant medications frequently cover underlying medical issues such as adrenal fatigue.  See this video playlist on ADHD and symptoms of ineffective stimulants through watching for the PM Drop: http://corepsych.com/drop.

Vibrant Heart And Mind – Balance Imperatives

Dr. Cynthia Thaik, La Canada Flintridge, CA – Harvard-trained cardiologist, functional medicine doctor, holistic practitioner, author of Your Vibrant Heart, has provided a deeply informed medical practice for over 25 years. “We are shifting the medical community’s current paradigm of symptom and disease-based model of practice. We are changing that paradigm into one that fosters and actively promotes wellness.” Listen up as she encourages moving from a passivity model to a participatory, active form of heart and brain health.

Dr. Thaik’s Activities

Dr. Thaik is a Los Angeles cardiologist who practices with her heart. She helps replace stress, fear, anxiety in her patients and instills a sense of inner calm and peace by educating and inspiring them to take proactive steps towards health and healing. She has helped thousands of people transform their lives through the ways they think, feel, and act through her Vibrant Heart strategies.

Origins With An Eastern Perspective

Intuitively, Dr. Thaik has known that she would serve this calling since the age of five, after accompanying her physician mother to the medical clinic in their home country of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. There, she witnessed the pure hands-on art of healing, free from the modern-day challenges of drugs, bureaucracy, and the threat of malpractice.

This childhood experience laid dormant deep within her as she navigated her American life, completed her modern medical training at Harvard Medical School, and subsequently began practicing Western medicine. It wasn’t until the opening of her wellness center three years ago – where she guided her patients to experience tremendous improvement in their health and well-being through integrative lifestyle practices. Today she focuses on vibrant heart recovery through nutrition, fitness, and spiritual or meditative practices – through her use of those early, reawakened childhood memories of the art of self-directed healing.

Her Practice Principles Applied Personally

Rediscovering her life purpose has inserted authenticity to her work and filled her with joy, energy, and spirit. She believes the mind-body connection for health occurs through the practice of being centered and present in each moment. A practicing Buddhist, Dr. Thaik is on a mission to deliver her Vibrant Heart message, best outlined in her new book. Interesting here: how the brain and heart are connected.

Affirmative Mind Power | Redefine Yourself

Steven Campbell, Rohnert Park, CA, MSIS [Masters of Science in Information Systems], Author of Making Your Mind Magnificent – Flourishing at Any Age, has been exploring and teaching the discoveries of positive cognitive psychology for affirmative mind practice in various universities and colleges for over 25 years. He holds a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Zoology, and a Masters in Information Systems from the University of San Francisco. Steven now conducts seminars on the discoveries cognitive psychology has made about understanding how we think …and how we can change what we think about ourselves, our relationships, and the world.   

Affirmative Mind Seminars

Another key point is that Steven now conducts seminars on the discoveries about how affirmative mind activities and cognitive psychology have made about how we think. And, more importantly, how we can explicitly improve what and how we think about ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Steven is also the radio host of Your Amazing Mind on KOWS in Sonoma County. Tune in to hear how he connects Stoic philosophy with modern neuroscience.

Ed Note: You will quickly see how this interview with Steven proved most interesting, and I strongly recommend learning from Steven’s affirmative mind training and experiences. His views do match those of the Stoic philosophers and help with everyday problem resolutions on Main Street. [Yes, that’s Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic Emporer of Rome, above in this header.]

Use Your Affirmative Mind to Redefine Who You Are

* If you think about it, we overgeneralize. Just because something happened in the past hardly proves that it must continue into the present. The seduction of the negative imperative.

* In addition, we cease to look for alternatives. By allowing ourselves to remain locked to our past, we forget there are other solutions out there. The reframing process.

* Another challenge is that behaviors in the past, which may have been healthy at one time, may become decidedly unhealthy today. What you did in the past does not often work in the present! Time brings a different reality.

* Transference effects are real. This simply means that we transfer our feelings about people or things in our past life to people and things in our present. We rebel against our boss today because he or she reminds you of our parents’ high-handed order of forty years ago. Essential point: relationship patterns will continue to repeat unless they are effectively corrected.

ADHD Parenting Evolves

Cindy Goldrich, Roslyn Hts., NY – provides ADHD Parenting skills as a Coach and Teacher Trainer. She creates a calm, more compliant environment, establishes realistic rules and expectations, reduces homework stress, and improves problem-solving, and self-advocacy skills.

She also provides education and support so kids can Thrive, not just Survive. Listen in to her comments on parenting and on her opinions and experiences with training teachers for classroom understanding and strategies.

Cindy’s Overview

“Your children don’t mean to frustrate you.  They don’t want to make life so challenging and arduous for you – or themselves! Having a child with ADHD can bring chaos and stress into any home.  Although children with ADHD can often appear lazy, unmotivated or manipulative, when you dig deeper you will find this is often not the case.”

The Truth About ADHD/Executive Function

“Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or ADD) is a neurobiological condition that brings with it many challenges beyond the simplistic diagnosis of Hyperactivity, Impulsivity, and Inattentiveness.  Just as some children have trouble learning how to read, children with ADHD often have trouble tolerating frustration, being flexible, and solving their problems independently.  Like learning to read, these are skills your child needs to learn and develop from the outset.”

Core Biomedical ADHD | Executive Function Challenges

Dr. James Greenblatt, a child psychiatrist, and functional medicine expert has seen thousands of children and young adults through the years who have struggled with the symptoms of ADHD such as inattentiveness, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, irritability or combativeness.  Dr. Greenblatt’s views are at once simple and complex:

ADHD is not a behavior or discipline problem, but a genetically driven neurological, biomedically measurable condition. There are no one-size-fits-all answers for Executive Function treatment – it doesn’t work that way. Everyone has a unique pattern of deficiencies and excesses that can imbalance the brain. Correcting these deficiencies and excesses – adding what is needed and subtracting what is not – is the solution.

Listen carefully, friends, as Dr. Greenblatt and I sing together with a growing chorus from the same biomedical hymnal. We’re overdue for the redefinition of Executive Function to became Finally Focused.

Dr. Greenblatt’s Activities

Dr. Greenblatt, MD, is an integrative psychiatrist and leading expert in behavioral and medical disorders such as ADHD, OCD, Eating Disorders – Anorexia, Binge Eating – as well as Depression and Anxiety.  He has been treating patients since 1990 and has dedicated his career to providing patient-centered care and educating his colleagues on integrative psychiatry. Dr. Greenblatt currently serves as the chief medical officer and vice president of medical services at Walden Behavioral Care in Waltham, Massachusetts and is on the clinical faculty at Tufts Medical School and Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine.

Editor’s Note On The Evolution of Biomedical ADHD

Dr. Greenblatt is on the same path as many who listen here to CBJ and have followed my videos on biomedical interventions for evolved “ADHD” diagnosis and treatment over at my YouTube Channel. To take just a bit of liberty with Dr. Greenblatt’s excellent contribution here, it’s clear that we both agree with the fact that the current diagnostic criteria for ADHD are based upon superficial, behavioral assessments that simply don’t address brain function. That point cannot be overstated and is driven by combining clinical observations with biomedical data.

“ADHD” challenges provide a clear encouragement for the updated use of new, cost-effective, discoverable, biomedical realities that encourage change throughout the entire standard of medication-for-appearances. We all need a global upgrade from our current rabbit hole, Excellent, but not enough.

If we’re treating thinking without thinking about thinking consider the additional implications for diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety and mood disorders.

To take this point just a bit further personally: It’s my opinion, and I know that Dr. Greenblatt agrees, that the remarkable prevalence of treatment failure with stimulants for ADHD, the reason for the ubiquitous controversy, arises from the multiple misunderstandings outlined in this CBJ/105 Episode. Listen up, he shares his deep personal insights without hesitation.

Biomedical ADHD Explained

Dr. Greenblatt’s book, Finally Focused, is a book-length prescription and manual that provides all the background information and practical guidelines needed to confidently treat your ADHD child or yourself. This book on biomedical ADHD details coupled with your efforts will be enough to effectively relieve the symptoms of ADHD,

Gender and Age Challenges In Any Recovery

Helen Kienzle. Ph.D. – is the Program Director for both the dual diagnosis and mental health programs at the Sovereign Health facility in Palm Desert, California. Dr. Kienzle received her master’s degree and her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the School for Professional Psychology at Alliant University in Los Angeles, California. Her specialty today is prime recovery for men.

In addition to that initial training, she also completed a doctoral thesis on the social support needs of women diagnosed with breast cancer. Following the completion of her doctoral work, Dr. Kienzle focuses on providing individual therapy to patients and families, psychiatric crisis intervention and resolution; including the development and implementation of group therapy program curricula at Sovereign Health.

PRIME Recovery Program for Men

Personal and Prime Recovery, Integrating Men’s Experiences program – PRIME Recovery For Men – specializes in the unique recovery needs of men over 40. Sovereign’s Palm Desert location offers evidence-based adult treatment programs for addiction, mental health, and co-occurring conditions, treated with a dual diagnosis program as well as an exclusive mental health program.

PRIME Recovery utilizes all levels of care, from detox to intensive outpatient treatment.

PRIME offers ten residences with a total of 138 beds for males over the age of 40 years old. – See more at Palm Desert PRIME Recovery Program Here.

Her Experience At Sovereign With PRIME Recovery Programs

As Dr. Kienzle notes in the overview interview, the PRIME recovery program targets to men over the age of 40 who struggle with addiction and mental health disorders. The PRIME recovery program focuses on the psychosocial, spiritual and physical health issues facing mature men. After noticing a trend in admissions, Dr. Kienzle said,” “We realized that many of our patients were over the age of 40 and dealt with similar issues. We decided to put together a detailed program that would address age-specific issues.”

Prime Recovery Program Highlights

You will find interesting that when asked how Sovereign Health treats patients in the PRIME Recovery Program Dr. Kienzle replied:

Many of our patients are professionals, and they have jobs and families to get back to. We want to make sure we are giving all the tools and resources available to help them (the patients) get back to a regular and natural way of living in society. We offer individual and group therapy, case and medication management and psychiatric evaluations. Other services include yoga, meditation, and equine therapy, as well as transportation to attend meetings outside of Sovereign Health.

Home Toxins Can Contribute To Your Chronic Illness

Through deep ongoing research, I found the one link causing unexplained symptoms, chronic disease and pain – and also a way to reverse them. The impact toxins are having on our health are devastating – however, the reversal is astounding.

~ Joe Pizzorno

Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, ND, Seattle – His illuminating Toxin Report here at CBJ/103 is mandatory listening. In addition to research and humanitarian reportage, Dr. Pizzorno is the President of Salugenecists, Inc. and Chief Medical Director for the well known Village Green Apothecary. It’s a privilege to introduce Dr. Pizzorno to our well-informed audience, as he is one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine, a term he coined in 1978 when founding the highly regarded Bastyr University. He led Bastyr to became the first fully accredited, multidisciplinary university of natural medicine and the first school of its kind to receive research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This CBJ interview with Dr. Pizzorno will firmly open your door for improved attention to a topic that should prove dear to every family globally: The Toxin Solution – How Hidden Poisons —- Are Destroying Our Health. His comments here and in this new book will make you first go to the kitchen and then into your makeup drawer to check those labels. …And he tells you exactly how to check product toxicity on an app! You will love this one; he’s outstanding. But beware, his commentary might make you paranoid.

Denial Action

And, as you become progressively less shocked whilst listening, immediately forward this CBJ/103 to your family and friends who, for their own personal longevity and health, must clean up their toxin-denial.

Pizzornos’s exemplary toxin research and clinical experience illuminate the unseen damaging toxic molecular realities all of us face globally as we continue to produce and use more over time.

His Comprehensive Experience

He served as chairman of the American Public Health Association SPIG on CAM from 1999 to 2001. In 2001, he joined the Scientific Review Board of the Cancer Treatment Research Foundation and the Institute for Functional Medicine Board of Directors (for which he now serves as chairman). In 2002, he became the founding editor of IMCJ – Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal, the most widely distributed peer-reviewed journal in the field of functional medicine, included in PubMed. He has served as a licensed naturopathic physician in Washington State since 1975. In June 2000, Pizzorno retired after 22 years serving as the president of Bastyr University. He continues as president emeritus.

Dr. Pizzorno’s Honors

Pizzorno has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors. In 2006 at the 50th anniversary of the founding of National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was recognized as its most illustrious graduate.

In 2004, Natural Foods Merchandiser recognized him as one of the 25 leaders in therapeutic nutrition, and he was honored by the Institute of Functional Medicine with the Linus Pauling Award for his “decades of work establishing the scientific and educational foundation of natural medicine.” In 2003, the American Holistic Medical Association recognized him as one of the 25 “Pioneers in Holistic Medicine.” In 2002, he was awarded “Naturopathic Physician of the Year” by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and received the “Founder’s Award for Pioneering Complementary and Alternative Medicine” by the National Foundation for Alternative Medicine.

In 2001, Natural Health Magazine recognized him as one of the leading health...
