EP169 - ADHD is a Genetic Advantage!

ADHD IS A GENETIC ADVANTAGE is an episode with my guest Su Robotti, a Consumer Health Advocate and the founder of the MedShadow Foundation, launched in 2013. She did so after she was harmed by a medicine called DES (diethylstilbestrol) that was given to her mother while pregnant and as a result was unable to have children. Generations later, this hormone disruptor has been found to cause rare cancers, autoimmune diseases and infertility. In 2017 Robotti was appointed to the FDA Advisory Committee on Drug Safety and Risk Management, joining  a panel of doctors and pharmacists as the sole consumer representative. Together, the Committee reviews research and decides if a drug is safe enough for use. Su and I are going to do a deep dive on such topics as the risks of side effects from medicines; questions to ask your doctor about meds; increased risks of meds for children and the FDA’s drug approval process in general as well as her role on the FDA Advisory Committee.
