In this episode, Simon sits down with Pete Williams, leading functional medicine practitioner, clinical educator, and founder of Functional Medicine Associates in London, to unpack what functional medicine really is and why so many people turn to it when conventional healthcare falls short.

With over 20 years of experience, Pete explains functional medicine in plain English, breaking down how a systems-based approach looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand the root causes of long-standing health issues. Together, they explore how gut health, hormones, immune function, metabolic health, stress physiology and lifestyle factors interact, and why addressing these connections often leads to more meaningful, lasting results.

• Those struggling with fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, immune problems or long COVID

• Clinicians, coaches or practitioners curious about a systems-based approach to health

🎓 What You’ll Learn

• What functional medicine actually is (and how it differs from traditional care)

• How functional medicine connects seemingly unrelated symptoms into one clear picture
• The role of advanced testing vs consistent lifestyle interventions

In this episode, we sit down with Dr James Kustow, one of the UK's leading experts in adult ADHD and complex neuropsychiatry, to explore the fascinating connections between ADHD, hypermobility, anxiety and nervous system regulation.

Dr Kustow, a Consultant Psychiatrist and former Medical Director of ADHD UK, shares his whole-system approach to understanding how brain regulation, autonomic stability, joint mechanics and sensory processing influence mental health. We discuss why ADHD diagnoses have surged in recent years, the striking link between hypermobility and neurodivergence, and how an unstable mechanical system can rev up the central nervous system.

We also explore Dr Kustow's new book, How to Thrive with Adult ADHD, which reframes ADHD as a different neurotype rather than a deficit, with practical strategies for clarity, structure and improved function.

What We Cover:

1. Why ADHD is better understood as a regulation disorder, and how different types show up in adult life
2. How ADHD relates to autism, dyspraxia and sensory processing differences
3. The Hypermobility–ADHD–Anxiety Connection: Why hypermobile individuals experience higher rates of ADHD, anxiety and dysautonomia, and how joint instability amplifies dysregulation
4. Dr Kustow's 7-Pillar Plan – Practical framework from his book for thriving with ADHD
5. How medication, therapy, movement, sleep and environmental design work together
6. Practical Strategies to calm an overactive nervous system and manage sensory overload

Whether you're neurodivergent, hypermobile, or curious about the body-brain connection, this conversation offers clear, actionable insights.
