Despite many of us feeling challenged by undiagnosed ADHD for most of our lives, there is also a way to thrive alongside our ADHD. On today's episode, I talk to Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, known affectionately as "The Creative Scientist," a distinguished clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher in the UK. His expertise centres on the intricate gut-brain connection, drawing on a rich, real-world scientific foundation rather than purely academic pursuits. Dr. Miguel's academic journey includes degrees in Nutritional Medicine and Clinical Neuroscience, culminating in a Doctorate focused on Mental Health and the Gut Microbiome. Navigating life with ADHD and autism, Dr Miguel possesses a deep, personal understanding of the specific dietary needs of neurodivergent individuals. He emphasises the critical role of dietary choices in enhancing executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. His philosophy is captured in his words: “By understanding and addressing the nuanced relationships between what we eat and how our brains operate, we empower ourselves to make choices that not only nourish our bodies but also support our neurodivergent minds in navigating daily tasks and interactions more smoothly.”On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Miguel and Kate spoke about:Miguel's journey to his ADHD diagnosis Bringing a more feminine softer energy to science The relationship between the gut and the BrainADHD and disordered eating ADHD tendencies toward extreme behaviour Having self-compassion around your diet and what you eatHow self-compassion can actually help your gut health Identifying sources of rejection sensitivity dysphoria Dr Miguel offers personalized clinical consultations and has crafted a comprehensive course titled "Thrive with ADHD," available at drmiguelmateas.com/thrive-with-adhd-course.

Join me for my new group coaching Ask Me Anything four-session programme beginning on 27th June - all details are hereWhen we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles. We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail. Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!After closing her original business, Andrea poured her heart and soul into her garden to support her mental well-being and give her something to focus on during this time. This eventually became her next venture, Dahlia Beach—a Plant Your Own Flower Garden based in Oxfordshire.During today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode, I chat with the inspiring Andrea all about: Being a multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneurSeeing gaps in the marketOwning our failures, why we shouldn't be afraid to fail and accepting the mistakes we makeFollowing our dreams with ADHD and harnessing our ADHD traitsBeing a maverick and staying true to our convictionsUsing hyper-focus to flourish and being brave in our choicesDiscovering ADHD and PerimenopauseUsing HRT to help her perimenopause symptoms Admin breakdowns in business and finding people to help fill the gapsCreating an ADHD-friendly businessLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.Mentioned in this episode:Gratitude link

As many of you who have followed me for a while will know, EFT or tapping is something I talk about a lot!I began my training in 2019 and continue to use tapping on myself, my kids and many of my clients most weeks. I have combined EFT in many of my workshops, and I love making tapping as accessible as possible for all of my community. I'm always blown away by the results and how effective a short amount of tapping can be. And on this week's episode, I have Pearl Lopian, a Psychotherapist, EFT Master Trainer and Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience. Pearl is also my teacher and mentor and is a true expert in this field. Early on, I noticed how powerful using tapping can be for the ADHD brain and nervous system and I'm delighted to bring this powerful conversation to the podcast. If you're intrigued about using EFT for ADHD traits such as RSD, overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, stepping into your potential or overthinking, Kate has free tap-along videos here and lots of resources on her website here. Kate also wrote an article on ADHD and EFT for ADDitude, have a read here.Tapping is also wonderful for children and very safe.

It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a neurodivergent doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation. She tells me her secrets to a fulfilled life of gratitude, acceptance and authenticity.I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who was 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared—I had many epiphanies after each chapter. After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain—she shares her dyslexia, learning, and education journey—I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! During our conversation, Dr Gladys shared her story of being held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how, through her different learning styles and curiosity, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.

Today, I'm sharing a very personal passion and deeply spiritual interest of mine, Kabbalah. I have been studying this transformational spiritual technology and wisdom on and off for over ten years but only recently have dedicated many hours to learning more to help me feel more at peace and purposeful in my life. It has also helped me with countless tools and practices to self-regulate, calm and profoundly accept myself while offering me different perspectives to feel more at peace with where I am right now. I use these shifts in my relationships and friendships, my business, my coaching clients and throughout daily my existence. To say it's been a life-changing shift is an understatement!And this week's guest is David Ghiyam, one of the teachers at the Kabbalah Centre and someone I have learnt a lot from.

He gave a MasterClass encompassing those teachings at www.KabbalahOne.com.David also hosts one of the world's top spiritual podcasts, Weekly Energy Boost, with over 2M downloads.

Following her late ADHD diagnosis, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, having grappled with chaos, addiction, burnout and mental health struggles. Rosie’s big U-turn came after life-altering events led her to run the London Marathon in honour of a friend who she lost due to mental health struggles. Rosie’s ADHD diagnosis gave her an understanding of why she was unable to find her place in the world. From then on, she made a promise to herself to spend the rest of her life doing everything she could to support those with ADHD to turn their own story of struggle into a story of strength.On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Rosie speak about:Rosie's chaotic life before her ADHD diagnosisHow Rosie started her yoga journeyRosie's journey to enjoying running and movement and how this began to change her lifeThe deep connection between exercise and meditation to calming her ADHDRosie's addictive patterns, including how this impacted her exercise routine How to maintain novelty and motivation with exercise and movement Changing up our routines to help create motivation Understanding and being aware of our individual brainsThe shame we hold and letting it go to move forward with more balance and self-acceptanceHaving a deeper why for having a healthier routine to combat the challenging daysRosie's new ADHD coaching practice Connect with Rosie, her coaching work and podcast hereLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.If you'd like further support regarding any of the topics today, head here:Help with alcohol addictionSamaritansMind.org mental health support Help with addiction issues Mind.orgMentioned in this episode:Gratitude link
