You become more distractible because when these come into the brain and hit those receptors, that's the impact. So she had both peptides. She had casomorphins and gluteomorphins. So into the brain, they create inflammation. They get these receptors. And on top of that inflammation, they can alter your ability to cognate and make sense of the world around you. So simple fix.
And people are, you know, they're always intrigued by this particular test because we do another test to look for the immune response to gluten when we do the gut testing, and that's negative. But when I tell them they have to be gluten and dairy-free, they say, why? I say, because of this test. And sometimes it doesn't make a difference.
There are some people where even if we make them dairy-free and gluten-free, they're not noticing any difference when they add those foods back in in regards to, oh, now they've been off them for six weeks. I'm adding them back in. I don't notice any difference. Or they'll say, I added them back in, and boy, I had a really bad afternoon.
One thing with Claire, she had a lot of bullying when she was in middle school, elementary school and middle school. And she also had parents, lovely parents, But their parenting style was to use a lot of negative reinforcement. If you don't do this, then that's going to happen. If you do this, then that will happen. They were constantly telling her, if you don't, you won't.
And that's really, it's really terrible for a person with ADHD. She said to me at one point when I was talking to her alone that she was generally one or two negative comments away from tears. So she had a real trauma. She was bullied. It was really hard to get through school. There were times she didn't want to ever go back to school because it was just so hard socially and academically.
So there is a diagnosis patients or I tell them your anxiety and depression are actually sort of separate from your ADHD. They're really symptoms. And there's symptoms of your ADHD, but not directly. They're really symptoms of the trauma you experience from your ADHD.
And so Claire would tell me if certain things happened in her life, if she didn't get invited to a party, if she didn't get a good grade, if somebody said something negative to her, she just starts spiraling her default web network. She'd start ruminating over all these negative things. And then when that happens, she has all this negative self-talk.
And when you start to go down that negative self-talk, ruminant pathway that's triggered from trauma, what happens? You go into fight or flight. And when you go into fight or flight, what gets turned off? Your prefrontal cortex.
Because when you're running from the lion, you don't have time to have a philosophical thought conversation with yourself of whether it's a good thing to kill the lion or not. You kill it, you got to get away from it. You can't reason. So your prefrontal cortex gets turned off.
I encourage her to seek out a trauma therapist and consider doing something called eye movement desensitization repolarization. which is a way of rewriting those voices, rewriting those pathways so that you're not constantly going into that fight or flight because she has a superpower. We know genetically, if we can keep her calm and get her out of her own way, she can concentrate.
She has the capacity. In the end with Claire, it was a pretty dramatic turnaround. I would say four months is pretty dramatic and what we found was is she had improved her sleep patterns she no longer was having that racing mind that she couldn't control i started she started to meditate she started to have a sleep ritual that helped turn off that racing thought the fault mode place
Much better energy during the day. And more importantly, she now had energy at the end of the day to do things she really enjoyed, which in and of itself started to bring her satisfaction, joy, and contentment. Sugar cravings gone. Mood stability no longer easily triggered. Depression and anxiety gone.
Yeah. You know, Mark, the Ultra Wellness Center is the Ultra Hope Center. It's so important that people have hope. And people do come. They come with a high level of expectation and hope because they hear these stories. We've done these podcasts before. And they come. And they do get better. I was thrilled for Claire. And she did a great job. This can be overwhelming.
But she put her nose to the grind because if she had another superpower, here's the reason. She was out-resilient. She was tenacious. She's tenacious. And again, when you have ADHD, it's like the economy of, you know what? I can hyper-focus. On the other hand, I forget my keys. everywhere. I forget my shoes, but I can hyper-focus, get an enormous amount of work done.
I can get really passionate about something, right? But on the other hand, I can become very rigid. I can become very stuck in a way of thinking that the fault mode network gets you there. ADHD has all these great superpowers, but on the other edge of the sword, they can have a negative impact. And when you can help somebody move over and
create an environment for themselves that utilize all their superpowers, you're going to change their life. And my final piece of advice to Claire was, Claire,

People's sex lives are not over at age, you know, 50, 60, or 70. There are men that come to me wanting to have prescriptions for Viagra at age 70. And I always tell them, I'm not giving it to you unless I get a written note from your wife.

It's only getting better as time goes on, so why stop?
Yeah. So prior to Viagra, there were some fairly primitive approaches to it, like vacuum pumps and revascularization, because vascular issues, endothelial dysfunction is a key part of what causes erectile dysfunction.
