E23: ADHD and Health Risks: John Foulkes, RP, Shares His Near-Fatal Experience

In today’s episode, I am talking to my friend and colleague, psychotherapist John Foulkes. He is sharing his very personal story about an event that rocked our worlds last summer, and almost killed him. This explosive and brutally honest session will give you the goods on the truth of how ADHD can be an ‘invisible’ contributor to mental and physical health issues, and John will share how he used this experience to create an ADHD LIFE RESET. 

We talk about:

• John’s experience of the ADHD ‘sleeper effect.’
• The link between ADHD and other physical health problems. 
• What the ADHD Reset Plan is and how it supports an overall health plan, including mental health. 

Resources mentioned in the show: 

• Canadian Heart & Stroke resources and First Aid training 
• Cardiovascular health: Women’s unique risk factors 
• 6 things every woman should know about heart health
• 2022: Association between history of ADHD diagnosis and cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults
