In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Sht*, we dive deep into the world of ADD/ADHD with Cass Nelson-Dooley, MS, from Diagnostic Solutions. Together, we explore what ADD/ADHD really is, how it’s diagnosed, and whether diagnosis rates have shifted over the last decade—and in which age groups.

We also unpack:

Traditional treatments and their potential side effects.

Root causes to consider for those with ADHD.
The role of organic acid testing: what it is, what markers matter, and why it’s a valuable tool for understanding ADHD symptoms.
Cass shares practical lifestyle and supplement modifications that can make a difference, success stories from clinicians, and how these approaches can also benefit those struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, or anger.

Plus, we discuss whether retesting is recommended and why personalized care is key. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that connects science and practical solutions!
