Dr. Miguel.

This is exciting.

A neuroscientist, a real-life neuroscientist in the ADHD Chatter studio.

Not only that, a really, really nice one.

And one that I know is capable of helping the ADHD Chatter community in a really digestible way.

So thank you so much for being here.

One right at the cutting edge of the research as well, and one who lives and breathes ADHD, autism, or DHD, which we're going to touch on a little bit later.

As a neuroscientist, what is the one thing that you tell people about ADHD that still blows their mind every time you say it?

If somebody is listening and they heard what you said and they think, no, I think ADHD is more just a brain condition, what would they learn if they stuck around for the next 45 minutes or so?

Why should that person hang around?

And as for your interest in the crossover between the mind and ADHD and neurodiversity, where did that begin for you personally?

What's your mission in this space?

And as a neuroscientist yourself and a doctor and someone who's completely devoted so much of their career to that crossover between neurochemistry and nutrition, are there things that you've discovered recently that even your mind is blown when you find out about it?

as an individual to to choose them and to implement them in your life i'm so pleased that you came on dr miguel because i think for me eating is such a uphill battle like specifically having to decide what to eat every single day and it just takes up so much mental energy

The amount of times I've almost dreaded dinner time approaching, because for me that is like, okay, now I need to think, I need to decide what I want to eat, I need to go to the supermarket, I need to buy all of the different ingredients to make this thing that I've been told is healthy, and it's just exhausting.

And that's just one day, and then it repeats, and it repeats.

If someone is struggling with consistency, and they do find the idea of...

Eating well, exhausting, and having to make good decisions.

Somebody in that position, what is some advice that would make their life easier?

And it's honestly fascinating.
