For anyone who needed a word today… YOU’VE GOT THIS. KEEP GOING. BELIEVE IN WHATS POSSIBLE.

Use your most challenging moments to step into the opposite of whatever your body is telling you. Lack of motivation ➡️ GET UP AND MOVE. Self-Doubt ➡️ Do something to Inspire and Empower. Most importantly, learn to listen to your body and what it actually needs rather than giving into a short term solution. 🫡

“People with disabilities are not burdens; painting disabled people as burdens is ableist and presents disabled people as a ‘problem to be solved,’ rather than a group of people who deserve to be fully included in all aspects of society.”

The Make America Healthy Again Commission created by executive order last week and chaired by new Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has drawn immediate rebukes from medical and advocacy groups as well as ADDitude community members outraged by its use of stigmatizing language...

At flowADHD, I always promote an integrative approach to treatment and managing symptoms of ADHD. When it comes to our health, a comprehensive approach to treatment is absolutely essential in having the best outcomes!

Some supplements — vitamins, minerals, and herbs — can augment ADHD medication to help relieve symptoms like inattention, memory, mood, and cognitive function. Find out which ones help the most here.

I always promote, “try the least invasive treatment method first, and if you’re not seeing the results you desire for your life, then consider medication.”
I don’t say that because medication is “bad” or harmful. I have been on ADHD medication and personally experience zero negative side effects (on stimulants). I say to try other approaches first so each client or parent can feel confident in their decision around medication, knowing they have tried everything.
Also, it is important to look at what else could support better outcomes such as improving sleep, diet/nutrition, exercise, supplements, less screen time etc etc
It’s ALL important. Our physical bodies require many different systems to support its functioning. They all have a unique but essential role in maintaining optimal functioning. This is how we need to start looking at mental health. There is no singular approach to treatment. It requires a multi-integrative approach to achieve best outcomes.

ADHD medication is a game-changer for many adults and children diagnosed with the condition. Hear what these families and individuals say about overcoming treatment hesitancy.

Super excited about this one!

As a psychologist with ADHD, it’s affirming and empowering to hear other specialists in the healthcare industry share their personal experiences.

ADHD is a lifelong journey and even specialists still have to continually navigate the nuances that show up in day to day life.

👉🏼 Look out for my personal takeaways that I’ll be sharing on my social media pages!

Welcome to a special 5-part series "Thriving with ADHD: Stories of Female Leaders". This week we are joined by Julie Robertson. Julie has over 25 years experience in community, not-for-profit and social impact sectors, including as the former CEO of Specialisterne Australia, a multi- award winning social impact enterprise. Today Julie continues to lead Impact and Change through her work within Northern Health and through her own consulting. Julie shares how she has always thought differently, has never been good at just BAU and instead excels at seeing the bigger picture and connecting the dots. Julie shares how she navigated school and career as a chameleon, never showing enough of herself. Post 40, we discuss how her “ios” stopped working.
