Your ADHD Toolkit Is Missing Something: Meet the Vagus Nerve


Listen Later

You’ve got strategies and systems, but you still feel like your brain is always “on.” You might be overlooking your nervous system.

This episode introduces a fast-rising body of ADHD research around polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation. We’re breaking down the science, the controversy, and why this might be the next frontier in ADHD support.


In this episode:

  • Why breathing wrong could be keeping you stuck
  • What the autonomic nervous system has to do with procrastination, burnout, and freeze mode
  • How polyvagal theory explains that “can’t shut down” feeling

No breathwork hype, no vague advice, just real science, grounded insight, and new tools.
