This week, I dive into the fascinating link between ADHD and sleep with science journalist Lynne Peeples, author of The Inner Clock.

If you have suffered from ongoing pain, hormonal issues, fatigue or immune system challenges for most of your life alongside your long undiagnosed ADHD, today's FASCINATING episode is a MUST listen with leading Consultant Psychiatrist Dr James Kustow.

Kate and Dr. James Kustow, highly regarded expert in adult ADHD, explore the fascinating connection between ADHD, hypermobility, and many different physical health conditions.

Dr. Kustow sheds light on how ADHD is more than a neurodevelopmental condition, often accompanied by physical symptoms like chronic pain and immune dysfunction.

Dr Kustow is also a member of UKAAN's Executive Board (UKAAN is the main professional organisation for Adult ADHD in the UK). He is UKAAN’s Director of Education and was instrumental in developing the national training programme for psychiatrists.

He is the author of a new bestselling book on adult ADHD, ‘How to Thrive with Adult ADHD – 7 Pillars for Focus, productivity and Balance’, published by Penguin in October 2024.

He is a recognised national and international speaker on adult ADHD, and the winner of the ‘Genius Award’ at the 2021 Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards (run by the social enterprise group, Genius Within) for the ground-breaking ‘Lifeskills’ adult ADHD group programme he established in the NHS about 5 years ago.

During this ground-breaking episode, Dr. Kustow introduces us to his innovative approach to mental health care, which integrates traditional psychiatric methods with body-oriented therapies. He underscores the importance of treating the brain and the entire body, advocating for lifestyle changes encompassing nutrition, exercise, and emotional regulation techniques. By drawing attention to the role of inflammation and the autonomic nervous system in mental health, he challenges conventional notions about ADHD, urging a more inclusive understanding that recognises the complexity of these disorders.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ The link between ADHD and hypermobility affects nearly 50% of individuals with ADHD and often manifests as a cluster of symptoms.

✨ How hormonal fluctuations and misdiagnoses uniquely impact women with ADHD

✨ Chronic inflammation may play a significant role in ADHD and related conditions

✨ Why a holistic approach, including lifestyle changes and self-care, is vital for managing symptoms

✨ Insights from Dr. Kustow’s 3S model, which connects physical and mental health for better well-being
