Kate Hudson Unfiltered: Undiagnosed ADHD...

Dr Daniel & Tana Amen
About this episode

What happens when you finally see your brain? In Part 1 of this eye-opening series, actress and entrepreneur, Kate Hudson and her podcast co-host brother, Oliver Hudson, join Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen for their brain scan reveal—and the results are as surprising as they are enlightening. From undiagnosed ADHD and childhood concussions to emotional trauma and a strong sense of purpose, Kate opens up about the invisible forces shaping her mind, motivation, and success. You'll hear why her brain shuts down when it should turn on, how soccer headers left a lasting impact, and the natural tools she's using to take control. It's raw, real, and full of insights for anyone who's ever struggled to focus—or wondered why life feels harder than it should. Stay tuned for Part 2 when Oliver sees his brain scan for the first time.
