So I am in the camp that some people can have pretty significant mental health conditions, mental disorders is what I would call them, mental illnesses, whatever term people wanna use, where their brains are not functioning properly, where they can't pay attention, where they're having psychotic symptoms, where they're having panic attacks for no reason, where their brain is just ruminating on past trauma or past painful events

And even though they say to themselves, stop it, stop doing that, stop thinking about it, just go on with life. Like if you could just forget about that, everything would be fine. And their brain won't let them forget. Their brain just keeps bringing it back up. I do think that people can have conditions where their brains aren't functioning optimally.

And what I'm here to say is, yes, medications, we can still use them. If they can help people achieve remission and recovery and thrive in life, I'm all for it.

But far too many people are not getting any of those three things. They are not getting remission. They are not getting recovery. They are not thriving. They are being medicated. They're being told you've got a severe, a chronic mental health condition. We will manage it the best we can. And I want those people to hear loud and clear there is a new way.

I think ADHD in its classic form is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning you're either born that way or it's something that's happening to you early in life. There are biological, psychological, and social causes of it. So the biology can include everything we've talked about. Diet, exercise, and those things are way off base and skyrocketing in our population.

And I think that is a big part of the reason why we have skyrocketing rates of ADHD.

Again, if your parents have... With the lack of the things we talked about, nutrition, sleep, movement.

Yes, nutrition, sleep, exercise. That if children are being fed from birth highly processed, ultra processed baby food formula with added sugars and other things... You know, right now the World Health Organization and the American guidelines, dietary guidelines for Americans say that children under two should have zero foods with added sugar. Zero.
