Given the shortage of ADHD medication currently, it felt apt to bring on someone who could walk you through some non-pharmaceutical ways to help manage the traits of ADHD.
In this episode, I'm talking to Joseph Pack who manages his ADHD drug free. The founder of many companies and now the editor of the drug free ADHD newsletter.
Joseph didn't realise he had ADHD until a major life event happened in his 20s, and he realised that he been self-medicating his symptoms of ADHD. This was the catalyst that lead him to going on a journey researching the latest thinking behind how to manage ADHD without the use of drugs. He shares many of these techniques during this podcast. From ice baths to caffeine consumption, Meditation to alcohol there is something for everyone.
