Hi, and welcome back to the ADHD Skills Lab!

This week, join Skye and me as we explore some cutting-edge research on tCDS treatment and stress proteins. Spoiler alert: the findings weren't quite what the researchers expected.

What happens when research doesn't find what it's looking for? Well, in some cases, the papers readability gets a bit murky. It turns out, we're still on the hunt for clear answers on treatments many folks are already trying out.

Join us as we break down the complex jargon and dig into the methodology and limitations of these studies to get to the heart of their real-world implications. 

Thanks for being here,

Hello, and welcome back to the ADHD Skills Lab!

This week, I'm thrilled to share a conversation Skye had with Eugene Yao, the innovative mind behind Forget.work, a browser application designed to enhance time management and support working memory. (Producer Note: I'm currently using it as I draft this, and it's an amazing visual on-screen timer!)

Eugene opens up about his journey to an ADHD diagnosis, sparked by the challenges and revelations encountered while building his app. Join us as we delve into the habits and practices he has adopted to navigate life as an entrepreneur with ADHD.

Thanks for being here!
