  I worked with children for 30+years.  The kids having learning problems increased tenfold or more.   From adhd and autism to just not being able to comprehend what they were trying to learn. And while a few children were helped by medication most were not. We would talk about why it was getting so much worse.  I always said it was toxins all around us and the junk we eat. I just didn’t know how much our food was affecting us.  I only wish we had known then what we are learning now.   But I’m so glad we are doing so now.

  Brains are just different. Schools are designed for a specific brain type.

  As someone diagnosed with ADHD, married to someone absolutely with ADD (diagnosed) and 4 kids 3 of whom have also been diagnosed, I believe 'ADHD' is a combination of having either low or shut off ability to process dopamine, but also a creative mind. Back in the day, we used to run around a huge playground at recess, walk to/from school, immediately go out after school and ride bikes, climb trees and otherwise get into kid trouble. Now, and with my own kids, homework is like 4 hours work and every minute is scheduled. It's insane. Not to mention all the additives and processing of foods.

  I have been at this for decades. I'm VERY different than normal people. My ability to stay consistent is a joke.  It just is. So I'm like Alice in wonderland following my nose. It's my body not my desire, so radical acceptance is key. My health has vastly improved doing all the things you mentioned... not my ADHD. My genetics are still the same. There are things that help for a bit, but I cannot change this hijacking of my will to not be ADHD. I'm am that breed. It's affected every aspect of my life. Knowing it has a name is helping me not feel so damn guilty. It's not fun at all. My dad was narcissist. My mom ADHD. She died at 44. I'm oldest. I identified with my dad but learned I'm not narcissist... just narcissist injured and more like my mom. I was parentified. Oldest of 7. I'll never unwind it all but wanna say I'm at peace better today than ever. I'm so very grateful to learn about healthy eating, mystic awakening and have people that love me.

  Also one big thing I’ve learned is there are two kinds of adhd. Some Doctors literally wouldn’t say someone has adhd unless they were physically hyperactive, but if you listen to psychologists that does research on it as a professor his lectures say there’s adhd were the person is hyperactive mentally. They both struggle with executive function and time blindness or he said feeling urgency or being hyper accountable helps.

  I&apos;m <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUnCorMeFaM&amp;t=1410">23:30</a> minutes in and this doctor doesn&apos;t say anything about the emotional dysregulation and RSD which are key symptoms of ADHD. They are very debilitating for most people with ADHD.

  42% of births in the US are C sections. These kids including me are missing out on gut flora passed from mother to baby

  I think there may be a pandemic of adult-onset ADHD either already here or just around the corner due to the hyperstimulating nature of the digital world today. Our dopamine is being depleted from the very moment we wake up until we go to bed through our phones leaving people sluggish, anxious and depressed. We may as well have a hypodermic needle in our pocket or on our desks. The modern workplace needs to act wisely with multiple channels of communication (Emails, Teams, WhatsApp etc) before people get sick and fatigued with neural burnout. Hot desking especially for people with adult ADHD traits is a disaster. It&apos;s not being taken seriously at all.

  In university years, I got bloating and have problem with gas. Then I went abroad to China and got better diet and become better. But back in Indonesia, I got another thypoid bug and H. Pylori overgrowth because the sanitary problem in water system in Indonesia (problem with cheap diet). It ever already affecting my liver. So I got SIBO/ SIFO and my brain got broken again, I am on EDGE again and my brain fog is severe. I am better now. Because of better nutrition and right supplements, but lately I eat many junk food, you know that sugarly comfort food, and I feel a bit on edge again. 😂 I should read your book and fix my diet. I need to tackle this.

  I saw a functional medical doctor (actually two separate ones) for a few years. My initial labs were absolutely perfect. They never saw such perfect initial labs. I&apos;m very careful to take care of myself. I&apos;ve been eating very clean, nutrient dense, lower carb, etc. for decades. I even grow most of my veg and berries, raise my own chickens for meat and eggs, raise goats and cattle for A2 dairy, sheep for meat, and a friend raises grass-fed and finished beef for me. Just saying: a very high-quality diet, low stress, exercise daily, walk and hike frequently, sleep great (as long as I&apos;m careful to do my Ayurvedic self-care practices daily), excellent elimination. On and on.<br>My lab work showed zero inflammation, too. Textbook perfect. But I still have autism and it effects me daily. YES, it&apos;s definitely more problematic if I stray from my diet / lifestyle efforts, but it&apos;s always there. I&apos;m almost 50 and just doing the best I can. No magic pills or quick fixes. The most peace I&apos;ve found is (after doing all I CAN do) --- learning how to live with what I&apos;ve been dealt. Embracing it and setting myself up for success. A small example: my daughter does most of my shopping. Shopping will set me back physically and mentally for days or weeks, so I stopped trying to force myself to do it.
