COMPULSORY COMPLIANCE DISORDER is an in-depth exploration of what we are essentially doing to our children by 'sedating' them into compliance with our school systems, our labels, and medication. We think we got it figured out and that by labeling our children with mental disorders such as ADHD, we're doing them a favor... we oughta really rethink this outdated approach to symptoms. If we don't change the course of this 'mental health' epidemic, we'll be in for a rude awakening. Listen in and see for yourself if you agree or disagree. Contact us if you'd like to suggest a topic for our podcast, a guest or simply if you wanna chat about ADHD. We're here for you!

THERE IS NO ADHD GENE is an episode with my guest Dr. Bruce Lipton, an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A stem cell biologist, the bestselling author of “The Biology of Belief” and a recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, Dr. Lipton has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as a keynote presenter for national and international conferences. Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating through the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes, predicted one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. This is especially of interest to our ADHD movement since the field of epigenetics essentially proves that ADHD is not a so-called ‘genetic disorder’ and that nobody is predetermined to have it and in the worst-case scenario simply predisposed to it. But the power is with our minds and our ability to change our environments to better serve our individual human life experiences. Listen in to hear my conversation with the world's most passionate biologist I know, Dr. Bruce Lipton!! If you're into splitting atoms around ADHD and genes, I promise you that this is your episode!

PRISONERS OF ADHD is a damn powerful espisode with Fritzi Horstman - a fellow ADHDer and the Founder and Executive Director of CPP, the Compassion Prison Project . CPP is an organization dedicated to bringing compassion, childhood trauma awareness and creative inspiration to all men and women living and working in prisons. With 95% of the incarcerated men and women eventually returning home, Fritzi believes it is imperative that we address the chronic mental health issues in prison with common sense, compassion and urgency. In 2020 Fritzi directed “Step Inside the Circle” at California State Prison – Los Angeles County with 235 incarcerated men.  The video has reached nearly 3 million views worldwide and has attracted over 900 volunteers to CPP.   Fritzi and the team at CPP are currently creating a 6-part series entitled “Trauma Talks” to be distributed to prisons in the US and abroad. Fritzi produced HBO’s “The Defiant Ones” directed by Allen Hughes which has garnered several awards including a Grammy for Best Music Film. Her first feature, “Take A Number,” which she wrote, produced, and directed, debuted at the Slamdance film festival and premiered on HBO.  For more information about Fritzi Horstman and CCP, please visit https://compassionprisonproject.org Watch the film "Step inside the Circle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVxjuTkWQiE Books mentioned: 'The Presence Process' - Michael Brown (available on Amazon) 'The Body keeps the score' - Bessel van der Kolk (available on Amazon) For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com For more information on our support partner, please visit www.bokusuperfood.com

YOUR PRESENCE IS EVERYTHING is a powerful and enlightening conversation with Author, speaker and consultant Jim Shiels. Jim is the co-founder of board meetings international, a company that specializes in parent/child retreats, using a combination of experiential education and fun activities, like surfing and other oceanfront adventures to teach vital life lessons not taught in schools. Jim's book, 'The Family Board Meeting' was ranked as a number 1 parenting Kindle book on Amazon and in this episode, Jim shared some key concepts from his work, including why Family Board meetings matter, the effects they have on our children, the difference between paying attention to a child versus giving a child our full presence and Jim and I discussed the possible reason why so many entrepreneurs have been diagnosed with ADHD. Diagnosed during his childhood with ADHD and a brief and destructive experience with stimulant medication, Jim has since embraced his superpower and he thinks that we're all unique and most of us entrepreneurs are just not made to sit still at a desk and follow orders. Hence, we create our own businesses and thrive that way. But entrepreneurs often struggle with allocating enough time to spend with their families. We talked about the concept of 'paying attention', spending scheduled quality time with each child once every quarter. Listen in and hear for yourself some nuggets of wisdom that Jim shared with me!

HOW [NOT] TO ADHD is an exposé on how many experts out there in the 'Coping Camp' cherry-pick studies to suit their own agendas. Furthermore, many slogans and terms have been loosely thrown around by experts & activists alike. In this episode, we explore the saying "People with ADHD have a harder time with rejections", as well as "People with ADHD are more likely to end up doing drugs, get in trouble and even end up in jail - because of their ADHD." When we dig deeper into these type of statements, we quickly see that it's all none sense and not really addressing what's going on in the lives of these children (or adults). It's not the ADHD, its the friction in their lives that cause them to show traits that will quickly get labeled and diagnosed as a 'disorder'.

PARENTING: THE CAUSE AND THE CURE is a powerful rant on the importance of parenting. ADHD is not genetic in the sense that it is predetermined. One can be predisposed to the traits of ADHD, but the study of epigenetics clearly shows that the environment is 100% responsible for turning on or off someone's genes. Hence, parenting is the most powerful force when consciously done to turn on or off those genes. Sure, education, nutrition, heavy metals, video game exposure, sleep etc. all play a part in the environment of a child. But no part of that environment is as important as parenting. Even though pharmaceutical companies have coined and pushed the expression: "ADHD is not due to bad parenting", we are big believers that while it's not due to 'bad' parenting, it's definitely due to 'unconscious parenting'. Letting parents off the hook by telling them that there is nothing they can do about ADHD and that they had nothing to do with it is simply supporting the idea of 'irresponsible parents' who fall victims to the interests of powerful groups who benefit from making children dependent on stimulant drugs or other external therapies and coping strategies, ultimately sentencing them to a 'disordered life.' Listen in and hear for yourself what parents can do to dissolve their children's ADHD traits (aka behaviors) that are essentially direct reactions to a child's struggles with their environment. The struggles are real. The [disempowering] label doesn't have to be!

WHERE HAVE ALL THE NORMAL CHILDREN GONE is an exploration of the term 'normal' and a look into the pathological craze of destroying the context around a normal childhood... The following is a select list of just a few of hundreds of thousands of books out there, attempting to label kids as 'not normal' or 'different': -The Virtual Child: The Terrifying Truth About What Technology is doing to Children by Cris Rowan -The Angry Child by Tim Murphy -The Bipolar Child by Dimitry Papolos -The Highly-Sensitive Child by Elaine Aron -The Challenging Child by Stanley Greenspan -The Strong-Willed Child by James Dobson -The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Seigel -The Hurried Child by David Elkind -The Defiant Child by Russell Barkley (Barfley, like David Stein used to say) -The Misunderstood Child by Larry Silver -The Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurchinka -The Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz -The Explosive Child by Ross Greene -The Silenced Child by Claudia Gold Why are we doing this to our children? What benefits do we gain from doing this? If it's not the parents and families, who is supposed to be gaining these benefits? We know for sure that it's not the children. And if it's not the children, then who??? Listen in and hear for yourself what is happening out there in the world of labeling our children!

FREE TO LEARN is a radically insightful conversation with Peter Gray, an American psychology researcher, and scholar. Peter is a research professor of psychology at Boston College and the author of an introductory psychology textbook. He is known for his book 'Free to Learn' (translated into 18 languages) and his work on the interaction between education and play, and his evolutionary perspective on psychology theory. Peter sat down with us to discuss the history of education, its flaws, the power of child-led education and the importance of nurturing our children and to see play as their main way to learn and develop. Could it be that ADHD is a result of a 'too rigid' and outdated conveyor-belt, one-size-fits-all, starved-of-play type of learning environment? ADHD sure did not exist prior to western society's [industrial revolution era] classrooms... Listen in and hear for yourself! We promise you tons of wisdom nuggets!

NO MORE PITY PARTIES IN VICTIMHOOD is an exploration of why people with ADHD aren't yet fed up with being labeled as 'disordered', 'less than normal', 'doomed for life' etc. Prior to 1973 being homosexual was considered a disorder according to the DSM... it wasn't until this minority stood up and revolted against being labeled with such non-sense. So, how come the ADHD community is just fine being labeled with a disorder when in fact it's not? What needs to happen for people sto stand up and grab the bullhorn from the American Psychiatric Association that's been promoting this one-sided and incomplete narrative? What it's going to take is actually fairly simple. Not easy, but simple... listen in and judge for yourself.

SAY IT AIN'T SO is a short rant about my frustration with these so-called distinguished and award-winning experts who simply refuse to look under the hood when it comes to the real causes of ADHD. Children are the check engine lights of their families and experts repeatedly refuse to see what's actually going on in their environments and most of the time simply want parents to slap a band-aid on these much deeper wounds... it's the equivalent of putting a piece of masking tape over the check engine light, pretending that the engine of the car is now fine because you can't see the light anymore...
