Neuroscientist: "This one superfood WILL improve your ADHD" - Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas

[@rosy111]

These podcasts are so interesting. I find the host to be very calming as well. 💞

[@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas]

I'm happy to read this Rosy! Thank you!

[@laceydawson6831]

Oh my gosh, Miguel is absolutely amazing and can relate on so many levels of how he says simple life and just appreciate him as a person. He would be in my tribe circle for sure. His heart is lovely. Thank you Alex for this podcast. It means so much to me finding out a year ago at 40 I'm "ok"

38:00 Resonance Here: 1 coffee dose =beneficial, clarity, persistent focus on boring tasks 2 coffee dose/small energy drink= mildly shaking hands 3 coffee dose/large energy drink = Panic attacks at any stress trigger (I have measured heatbeat rate spikes with a smart band, coinciding with viscerally experienced terror, on myself repeatedly) it felt like an adrenalin/Epinephrine rush worthy of suddenly encountering mortal danger Learnt the dangers of 2 expresso the hard way. With BPPV added I ended up getting a full heart health assessment due to frightening episodes of vertigo and terror/bodily disassociation with no circumstantial or other explanation.

The nutritional advice is great and it is really in line with peri-menopause and menopause too. (60 F) I've actually tried to eat like this for years. I succumb to the junk food and sugar sometimes - recently woke up to that and changed back. It makes a huge difference for me to eat some Kefir (goat, I can't tolerate cow), nutty granola, and fruit every morning.

Wow the whole simplicity thing and friends and so on. Spot on my friend. Less is more, to much is unbearably overwhelming. I limit a lot of things in My life including work

[@ilsahelahi4547]

I’m a 23 year old woman who just got diagnosed with adhd. Your podcasts have been so helpful for me understanding the condition. I want to thank you for that ❤

[@nathanoosterhuis6232]

Man I could never put my finger on the absolute feeling of dread when confronted with something that goes against the state of mind I am in. This sound so relatable. Mostly during an argument I get hit with a flare of anger/distress which clouds my reasoning.

[@saotree4711]

Wow - that was so brilliant! thanks so much Dr Miquel! The discussion about coffee was both relatable and affirming. I have had to go without meds in recent weeks (national shortage) so am more reliant on coffee now. But I drink it respectfully- like it’s a medicine. Some days coffee is too much and other days I really need the stimulant ! … it’s about body awareness - being aware of what your brain/body is telling you. And the journaling helps with being able to predict high days and low days and to be prepared .. and ready to pamper - I loved that line ‘pamper your brain’ 😊

Thank you so much. I listened to that section so many times and kept hearing what sounded like “cafeeya.” I even wondered if he meant kefir when he described it but the more he said it the more I thought that couldn’t be it. Lol

I really like the Podcast, i would have a little Request: The Intro is Difficult for me, i understand that its necessary for the algorithms. But for me its a barrier to watch the actually content, it spoils so much an is cut so fast.... Hard to explain, English is not my first language... Nonetheless, thanks for the great work! ❤

Me too!! Playing the same tracks over and over again. Oh yes, ADHD tax .... I really enjoyed Miguel Toribio-Mateas talking and his ideas on Simplicity, ingesting diversity (food) etc.

[@junglefrancais]

Kefir, you can do it yourself. But, for ADHDs, it's a bit a challenge, because it requires good treatment all 3 days. ANd if you are a traveler it's not very easy. I drank pretty many times, I didn't realize it could help, but maybe I must start to drink more of that

[@leilap2495]

Why are so many podcast intros full of teases these days? Clashes with my brain 🧠 Is a neurodivergent person making them? Rather than creative, they come off as so formulaic and cheap. The content itself is worthy of a non sensationalist/teasing intro.

[@parabob2359]

If they're being done by content creators it's because they work. They get and hold our attention and keep the algorithm happy. People forget youtube TikTok etc are marketing channels. We are the product. We put up with this stuff because the content is free.

[@Queenread82]

I skip ahead a minute. I hate them.

[@calliballs]

@@parabob2359 or it could just because they copy each other? I'm not sure if it's the thing itself that helps, or more that people think doing the thing that a another successful podcast happens to should just be copied. It's why Hollywood superhero films mostly look and sound the same. Not great for creativity. But I know what you mean.

[@stephss]

There are timestamps.

[@yvonnes7412]

It’s to grab people’s attention so they listen longer because they’re waiting to hear some part that they saw a clip about. So it also increases length of engagement with the video. If they bother you personally, just skip forward. They don’t bother me. Also, some people want these clips at the beginning because it tells them if the video is worth their time. If they don’t find the clips interesting, then they can go to a different video (without feeling like they wasted their time). I’ve watched plenty of videos on other channels that just felt like a complete waste of time… So it’s nice to have the clips.

[@peterm.2385]

Thank you for this conversation. Very relatable.

[@monicarivas5378]

[@heatleynoble]

Intro reminds me of the films from 2000's flashing between shots super fast. I used to rage aboig it. No one else seemed to mind!

This is so affirming. I bet Dr. Miguel is really fun to hang with.

[@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas]

Thank you so much! I am really fun 🤩 Haha 🙏🏽Happy you liked the episode.

[@AveEndGermany]

very interesting and detailed answer on coffee & caffeine. Very good remark, that as dverse the adhd symptoms are, as diverse the reaction on coffee is and that it varies if you are on or off medication.

[@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas]

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks Alex! Great podcast as usual!!!

We are the same age - I absolutely LOVE 2007’s Jus✝️ice album and Daft Punk is my all time favorite band. I listen to the same song on repeat for hours. It puts me in a trance and I can accomplish SO MUCH. ADHD’ers are the BEST people!

[@yvona7267]

So interesting! I can’t believe the facts about kefir! Since it started appearing in British supermarkets I buy the stuff all the time! I used to drink kefir during my childhood, I come from Eastern Europe, it was a staple food at home during my (unhappy) childhood. I also used to go to Turkish supermarkets and buy it there years back.

Absolutely essential for me can’t live without it

[@elinarirhodan3760]

I love these podcasts- it's been a great way to learn more about my recently-diagnosed ADHD inattentive type, and I can listen while I'm at work! Interestingly, here in Sweden I was assessed for both ADHD and autism at the same time- I'm not sure if that's standard practice here though, I was fortunate enough to be able to go private for my assessment rather than wait in a 2-year queue.

[@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas]

Thank you for your comments. These dual assessments rarely happen in the UK. I hope life is good for you after your diagnoses.

[@elinarirhodan3760]

@@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas Thank you! It is definitely better, and improving more and more each week as I learn things and re-work old behaviours as needed. I'm very positive about the future now.

Use your energy and brainpower to reduce your own stress. Simplifying is a strange concept at first but with practice (especially boundaries) it becomes more valuable and manageable.

Maybe enough seratonin but not enough dopamine?

[@twiggyvlogs6441]

So he says the kefir but also, there was a change to a healthier diet overall so how can we know that the kefir was the deciding factor? I suppose I'll have to go and find the paper.

[@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas]

The advice was to reduce ultra-processed foods as much as possible and to focus on whole foods. It wasn't a prescription but more of a gentle recommendation.

[@twiggyvlogs6441]

@DrMiguelToribio-Mateas assuming the participants in the study made those dietary changes how could we be sure that the kefir was beneficial, not just the general improvement in diet? Definitely not trying to suggest kefir is not beneficial, just interested in how the study was run. Actually quite keen to try kefir in my diet, the gut brain link stuff is fascinating to me 💚.

[@NinaChristensen]

@@twiggyvlogs6441 I would think they made all the participants of the trial (both those getting kefir and those not) eat less processed food overall. That's my understanding anyways. :) Probably to make sure the participants were eating somewhat similar, "neutral" foods and not recking the results of the trial by introducing heavy amounts of ingredients found in processed foods. This is just my speculation and interpretation though. :)

Does it work for adults

[@jsonbourne9799]

It's a fascinating idea at 15:53 that writing with your hand might help with ADHD symptoms. Is there any evidence that doodling can help with ADHD challenges? I've just been told that at my son's school, students will have marks taken off if they doodle on their work. If doodling is helping them concentrate or build motivation then this seems like a poor approach.

[@RenTheWren]

The intro does not spark joy. It is upsetting :(

[@yvonnes7412]

Beans, lentils, and legumes are high-protein AND high-fiber. This is an important food group that people often neglect. Fermented foods (like Kefir) are high-histamine foods so they’re bad for people with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). Just a word of caution.

[@dzienisz]

Can somebody summarise this video?

[@rosy111]

In summary: It's worth investing your time to just watch the full video because it will ultimately save you so much more time and strife in the future.

[@TheRealUncensoredTravelGuide]

He's describing the keto diet but slightly more sugar as he didn't cap the sugar.

[@dmistry8304]

Keto is high fat...I don't think he's suggesting a very high fat diet. He's recommending unprocessed foods, sugar in moderation, kefir and protein to start the day, for blood sugar regulation.

[@TheRealUncensoredTravelGuide]

@@dmistry8304 TY I appreciate your feedback and support. I will say I've noticed an immediate change since restarting my keto diet. Difference between first keto at 20-25g of carbs per day and this time 25-40g. Still very good but now I need to work on other vices like my TV. 😂 That's been very difficult and not successful 😔.
