ADHD doesn't just live in the brain.

Attention, executive function, it's almost like you picture ADHD as something that happens from the neck up and you forget that it's a whole body-mind experience.

It's not a matter of trying to fix your ADHD or to fix your autism.

Your body has got different rhythms and it's going to be different to somebody else's.

You're not broken, your rhythm is slightly different and if you learn to work with it, there's going to be amazing things that you can achieve in life.

Dr. Miguel Toribio Mateus is a renowned neuroscientist with 25 years of experience.

He's here to help you master your ADHD and autism using simple nutritional hacks.

When we think about food, we think about what food is good for you, what food is bad for you.

You lose the whole context that food is very emotional, is very messy, and we are messy humans.

individuals living in a messy world just to try and make it all super clean and tidy it doesn't quite work are there things that you've discovered recently that your mind is blown when you find out about it one of the most important things that i've been working on recently is

Thank you so much for having me.

And one with ADHD and autism as well.

So, you know, an autistic ADHD neuroscientist.

I think the most important thing is that ADHD doesn't just live in the brain.

So I think a lot of the conversation is about ADHD in attention, executive function.

It's almost like you picture ADHD as something that happens from the neck up.

and you forget that it's a whole body-mind experience and your whole body is behaving in a slightly different way because your whole body has got the nervous system running through it and the nervous system is actually experiencing the world in a different way, in a more sensitive way than a neurotypical nervous system.

Because your brain is part of the nervous system.

So it doesn't just function on its own.

So then the brain is connected to your gut through the nervous system.
