ADHD Evidence Project, with Dr. Stephen Faraone

ADHD Evidence Project, with guest Stephen Faraone Ph.D. – you need to know about this!

Inaccurate and negatively-biased information about ADHD bombards us from all sides and sad to say, most of it is just plain wrong. Selected stories about negative effects of medications, presenting statistics in a way that magnifies negatives, repeating outdated beliefs which have no basis in fact, examples are too numerous to count.

The ADHD Evidence Project – adhdevidence.org – is an indexed collection of research from around the world… Read More …which supports the International Federation of ADHD Consensus Statement of 2021, authored by 80 researchers from around the world. The ADHD Evidence Project was founded by Dr. Stephen Faraone, one of the foremost researchers in the field of ADHD over the past 30 years. The goal of the ADHD Evidence Project is to improve the lives of people with ADHD by selecting, organizing, distributing, and promoting well-researched and evidence-based conclusions about the disorder to patients, families, and clinicians.

Join Dr. Faraone and I as we dive into the backstory of the Project and show how it makes accurate and reliable information about ADHD available to you. Listen and learn!

Talk It Out: How ADHD Brains Solve Problems

Episode, Podcast Episode / David Pomeroy MD

Do you (if you have ADHD) find it is easier to “think out loud”, to process your thoughts by talking them over with someone? Or even just a rubber duck perhaps? If you know someone with ADHD, have you noticed that they tend to talk through their thoughts? There is good neuroscience and “ADHD science” to explain why it works so well, much of it rooted in Dr. Russell Barkley’s model of Executive Functions. Some of the toughest challenges for people with ADHD are solving problems which have many parts and are ambiguous. The goal of accommodations at work or school, to make it easier to try harder to think like a neurotypical person, are not ideal. What if that were turned upside down, and the accommodations enabled people with ADHD to use their brains in the way they function best?

My guest today is Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach Extraordinaire, known for his ability to dig deeper and find root causes of impairments so they can be resolved. He is a Professional ADHD Coach, certified by two ADHD Coaching organizations, consultant, speaker, and enthusiastically committed to being a valuable resource for persons with or affected by ADHD. Jeff has developed a model of how to accommodate the ADHD-thinking brain which respects and preserves its amazing quality of associative thinking: Cognitive Ergonomics.

This is cutting edge info, a new way of helping those of us with ADHD brains problem-solve in the ways our brains work best! Listen and Learn!

ADHD-Friendly Financial Planning Made Easy

Episode, Podcast Episode / David Pomeroy MD

Do you shudder when you hear the words “financial planning”? How do you answer the question “what would you like to be doing in 20 years? “ Do you wonder how you are going to be able to afford to retire and travel/have a big garden/have a woodworking shop/spend more time with family? (Pick any or add your own!) My guest today has developed strategies that fit the way our ADHD mind works; today you get to see and/or hear how to get started with one of them.

Simi Mandelbaum, CEO of PROSPR Financial Wellness, is my guest today. She founded PROSPR in 2019 to provide education and tools for people to use in order to reduce the stress and anxiety they feel around money and reach financial success (as they define it). (PROSPR has no “E” on purpose – no Excuses.)

ADHD minds work well with visual representation of thoughts and ideas – diagrams, pictures, maps. The PROSPR model starts with visualization of your financial success, in much more depth and detail than just a picture floating around in your head. Watch or listen (or both) as we demonstrate how the process starts, with Simi in her role as a Certified Financial Therapist (CFT™) and myself as someone aiming for retirement. Listen and Learn!
