In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Storage, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in both adult and child/adolescent psychiatry. We explore how SPECT brain scans can reveal hidden strengths and weaknesses, the different subtypes of ADHD and their unique treatment approaches, and why nutrition, sleep, and movement are so essential for supporting children’s mental health. Dr. Storage also offers his perspective on when medication may be the right choice, how metabolic and mental health are connected, and the simple lifestyle strategies families can start using today to support brain health.
Topics Discussed:
→ How do SPECT scans help with ADHD?
→ What are the types of ADHD?
→ How does nutrition support brain health?
→ When is ADHD medication needed?
→ How are metabolic and mental health linked?
