Ready for a journey into the unseen layers of JFK's life? Prepare yourself to rediscover the 35th President of the United States, not just as a charismatic leader but as a man grappling with chronic pain likely brought on by ADHD. His vibrant public image often overshadowed this personal battle. We'll unravel the evidence suggesting ADHD as a significant aspect of JFK's health struggles, shedding light on his symptoms like inattention, lack of diligence, and poor planning abilities that potentially contributed to his painful physical condition and even his tragic end.

Stimulating discussion doesn't stop at JFK, as we also illuminate the story of his sister, Rosemary Kennedy, and her fight with autism and ADHD. We'll explore how ADHD is potentially linked to chronic pain, how revolutionary ADHD treatments can alleviate pain symptoms, supported by compelling studies showing patients responding positively to these treatments. We delve into how Rosemary's tragic experience with a frontal lobotomy could have been an ill-informed attempt to manage her symptoms, further accentuating the importance of appropriate treatments. Brace yourself for an engrossing discourse that blends biography, medical history, and scientific advancements, offering you fresh perspectives and insights.

When I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That’s why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you’ve been told fibromyalgia “isn’t real” or that it’s “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You’re not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you’ll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD.

Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn’t replace personal medical advice.*
