In the world's shortest ADHD Podcast episode, I'm sharing the ONE THING that my teen said they wanted people to know about ADHD. It's not what I was expecting.

I mentioned in the 'episode' some evidence of the power of our mind or thoughts on our body - and vice versa. Of course, I'm referring to the studies by Professor Ellen Langer, a leading psychologist at Harvard.

Her famous 'Counter Clockwise' study showed that our physical environment not just affects our thoughts but can change our body. The team at Harvard are also working on the use of mindfulness (not THAT kind of mindfulness) on Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, diabetes and more.
