You've been feeling like something's off for months.

Your doctor does a check up to report "everything looks good" But you don't feel good.

In fact, you feel the opposite.

Your doctor told you "everything looks good" based upon his reference ranges of the population.

So your doc must be right, right? WRONG.

I had the pleasure of interviewing integrative dietician, host of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, and author of the "Anti-Anxiety Diet," Ali MIller, on this week's Metabolic AF.

We covered what to do when your doctor said everything looks great but you still feel something is not right. We also covered:

✅ Using food as medicine and why sourcing matters

✅  Food tracking for wellness

✅ How to drink alcohol and still stay healthy

✅ And much more!

From a very young age, Emily Hamblin’s son would have meltdowns and get intensely angry. He was also really bright. He was ahead of the curve academically and scored in the 99th percentile on standardized testing. His teachers would say he was just “smart and quirky.” That didn’t sit right with Emily, though. She knew something else was going on.  

Then one day, a friend suggested that Emily look into ADHD. Emily was skeptical at first. But when she learned more, it was clear that this was the missing puzzle piece. Her son was twice exceptional: He’s gifted AND he has ADHD. And this discovery even helped Emily recognize ADHD symptoms in herself. 

Emily co-hosts a podcast called Enlightening Motherhood, which aims to help moms who are overwhelmed by their kids’ big emotions. Listen in to hear how Emily reframes ADHD symptoms in a positive light.

As Linda Roggli, PCC, explains, ADHD is more than the sum of its parts. Rather than a collection of symptoms that can be compartmentalized and treated to mitigate their impact on school or work, ADHD is a 24/7 companion that impacts every aspect of our being.
