Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
ADHD doesn't just live in the brain.
Chapter 2: What is Dr. Miguel's mission regarding ADHD?
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.
Chapter 3: What recent discoveries has Dr. Miguel made about ADHD?
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.

Thank you so much for having me. And one with ADHD and autism as well. So, you know, an autistic ADHD neuroscientist.
Chapter 8: How does Dr. Miguel's personal story relate to his professional insights?
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?
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.
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?
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. The tip of your fingers are connected to the brain through the nervous system. So the way that you might want to eat or not eat or forget to eat or eat too much is a nervous system regulation response.
And that's going to be, to a certain extent, determined by your neurotype, whether you're just ADHD, autistic, or a combination of both.
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?
Well, my mission in this space is for people not to feel that they are broken, that there's something wrong with them. So I think we resonate because of that. It's not a matter of trying to fix your ADHD or to fix your autism or to heal it or to hack it. It's a matter of actually understanding that your rhythms in the body, just as the earth has got a night and a day,
and the rivers flow the right way and the sea has a tide that epson flows your body has got different rhythms and and that is determined by biology and our biology is going to be influenced as well by our neurotypes so our neurotype is going to determine our own rhythm and we were just talking before recording that sometimes
