ADHD Essentials

It's the very first episode of the ADHD Essentials podcast!  

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Nowell.  He's a clinical neuropsychologist, international speaker, and renowned expert on ADHD.  

This episode is an overview of ADHD.  We talk about it all!  How ADHD works in the brain, the role of dopamine, behavior management, reframing perspectives, even mindfulness.  It's a wide ranging discussion filled with science, stories and strategies.  

 

Dr. Nowell can be found at DrNowell.com.

And, as usual, I can be found at ADHDessentials.com

 

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the origin episode of ADHD Essentials!  I'm your host, Brendan Mahan, M.Ed., M.S.  I'm a former teacher and school counselor, turned ADHD coach, speaker and consultant.  

In this episode we'll be talking about the plan for the pod, and how it came about.  I'll also share some of my credentails, and preview some of the upcoming episodes and guests!

The format is a little different than how the rest of the show's episodes will work.  In this one, I'm joined by my friend friend Eric Tivers, host of ADHD reWired.  Eric's been encouraging me to do this for sometime, so I couldn't think of anyone better to start out with.  In this origin episode, he'll be interviewing me.  Moving forward, however, I'll be the one asking the questions.
