Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support
We explore Adult ADD / Adult ADHD as a neurological type, not a disorder. Changing the conversation on neurodiversity and adult ADHD since 2015, our podcast is hosted by author and ADHD life coach Michael Joseph Ferguson. Based on the foundational and widely-read books, “The Drummer and the Great Mountain” and “ADHD Time Management,” each episode offers natural, holistic, and practical tools for artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs to thrive.We discuss topics such as: the “hunter-type” brain (ADHD hunter farmer theory), time management, mind mapping, nutrition, exercise and fitness, biohacking, mindfulness, nature connection, addiction recovery, and success stories from fellow neurodivergent thinkers.Take the “hunter-type” quiz, learn about our workshop offerings and live events, or purchase the books at https://www.drummerandthegreatmountain.comDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes and not professional medical or psychological advice.
