An integrative and more holistic healthcare approach is something you hear me talking about a lot on the Podcast. You've probably heard how passionate I am about helping people with ADHD weave more lifestyle-orientated practices alongside Western healthcare in their daily routine, and I'm delighted to welcome someone who embraces this approach with her patients, Dr Gemma Newman (The Plant Power Doctor), a best-selling author, podcast host, and GP.

Although Gemma is a medical GP, she's also interested in holistic health, plant-based nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. In her practice, she has come to understand that body, mind, and soul are not separate and that only by addressing the root causes of stress and disconnection can we truly heal from the inside out. She is a founding member and ambassador for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK and a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.

Gemma's second book, Get Well, Stay Well: The Six Healing Health Habits Everyone Should Know (Ebury, 2024), combines medicine, psychology, and nutrition. It provides simple, actionable tips and a unique wellness template to help you transform your life.

On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Gemma and Kate speak about:

• Gemma's GLOVES framework for holistic and lifestyle wellbeing
• The role of functional medicine and ADHD
• How to talk to your GP regarding an ADHD diagnosis
• Self-compassion as a neurodivergent person
• Gemma's journey to spiritual practice, holistic and functional health
• Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping and the many benefits for ADHD
• The benefits of plant-focused eating
• Knowing the areas of health that will help YOU the most
• How does our emotional and spiritual wellbeing impact our physical health
