So what if ADHD isn’t a deficit at all and it's more a natural variation of human cognition? I first came across this concept in Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas's book ADHD Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health It was a great read and would be the 2nd book I'd recommend to anyone with ADHD or wanting to learn more about ADHD after ADHD 2.0 by Dr Hallowell. 🤔 Curious if anyone has read either book 🖕 If you have ADHD then your brain processes dopamine differently, it's not that you have more or less of it, it's just the pathways moving them around are different which is why you can hyperfocus on what captures your attention, spot patterns and connect the dots that others miss, take chances that others wouldn't. That's not a deficit. That's a character trait. But here’s the thing, you've spent decades trying to fix something that was never broken.

Whether you just joined or you've been part of the community for a while, as a fellow ADHDer you're exactly where you need to be. Were hosting the following 2 sessions today. So come as you are, bring your questions, and let's figure this out together. Thursday, October 1st 1:30 to 2:30pm EST Body Doubling This is one of the best systems to use to make some progress in the area of executive dysfunction. We open with a brief check in where you state what your working on then work in silence side by side toward our own goals, and close out with a final check in. If you've ever sat down to do something alone and watched an hour disappear before you even started, this is the fix. Something about another person quietly working next to you (even virtually) makes starting easier and finishing more likely. Come with a task, any task, and let's get it done together. 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝘀𝘁 , 𝟯:𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟰:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺 𝗘𝗦𝗧 Community Q&A Share what you're struggling with then work through some strategies in real time to help you take the next small step forward. Come with a struggle and leave with advice or just come to listen. What's one thing you're struggling with this week? Drop it below and we can chat about it in the Q&A 👇

Struggling with something ADHD related, then bring it to the The ADHD Performance Lab Q&A. We don't treat ADHD as something to fix. We treat it as a brain to understand and a performance engine to tune. Every stuck moment is data, and every question is the start of a new experiment. So bring me the stuff that's getting in your way. Maybe you start strong and lose steam halfway through. Maybe focus disappears the second you need it most, or you said yes to something before your brain had a chance to weigh in. Maybe you're wondering if what you eat, how you sleep or how you move is holding back your performance. Or maybe you're still figuring out what ADHD means for who you are. All of it is fair game. Here's what I'll bring. Real strategies you can test this week, a little brain science so you know why they work, and a few questions that might flip how you're looking at the problem. Don't worry about asking it perfectly. Some of my best coaching conversations started with "I don't even know how to say this, but..." Send me your question by: 💬 Dropping it in the comments ✉️ Sending me a DM Would you rather ask live? Go for it. Just want to show up and listen? That works too. Come as you are and leave with your next experiment. Add the session to your calendar so you won't forget, cause we know how easy that is for us ADHDer's.

After getting my recent blood work back, I made a decision to go deeper. I just joined The 8 Week Holistic Gut Reset led by Charley O'Halloran, who also runs The Holistic Gut Health Hub, and I'm excited to see what the next two months bring. Everything I teach here starts with one belief. The fastest way to have a positive impact on your ADHD is to focus on your health first. Before the strategies, the systems and the routines, you need your body to be working with you. My blood work gave me a clearer picture of where I stand, and my gut is one area I feels needs a bit more love. Although the science connecting gut health and ADHD is still early we know people with ADHD tend to have more gut issues, and researchers are learning a lot about how the gut and brain talk to each other. I'm expecting to learn, experiment and learn more about the gut > brain relationship and come back here and share what I've learned. I'll post updates along the way on what changed, what didn't, and what I'd recommend. Anyone else currently focused on working on their gut health? 👇

🎉 Weekly Wins & Accountability Friday!! Another week in the books, let's celebrate what we showed up for. I'll kick it off with mine... 📖 Completed the first module of The ADHD Performance OS. Its focused on locking in your values which influence your decisions. You can find it here. There are slides and a Values exercise bottom of the page so I'd start there. 🏋️ Hit 4 Orange Theory classes this week and getting stronger in areas I would have never worked out before on my own. OT was worth the premium to be in a room with other like-minded and motivated individuals. 📅 479 days sober. On June 3, 2025 I decided alcohol needed to go if I was ever to truly manage my ADHD. The clarity of mind that comes with sobriety has given me the opportunity to come as far as I have. 👥 Meeting with my coach 2x a week and it's paying off. As a coach myself I believe in the power of coaching and will most likely be working with coaches until the day I die...no joke...you'll only get so far in the life on your own but you can cut that progress by degrees when you work with someone who is where you want to be The wins compound when you protect your foundation first. 💪 🤝 My Accountability ⏰ Getting up between 5-6am and am going to push myself this week be more consistent at just 5am. 👥 Haven't made the progress I wanted on some session material I'm working on, so I'm looking for an accountability partner this week to hold me accountable. Anyone interested? What's one win, big or small, you're carrying into the weekend? Drop it below 👇
