Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hey everyone welcome. I am Susan Coffin. I'm here for Attitude Magazine's

weekly ADHD experts broadcast. Today we'll be talking with Dr. John

Radie of Harvard Medical School about exercise in ADHD.

Dr. Radi will be presenting some powerful evidence showing that exercise helps both children

and adults manage their symptoms of ADHD and he'll tell us more about why

physical activity is really a go-to treatment that both parents and adults can use to better

their lives of ADHD.

So some of his interesting topics will be why and

what the powerful effect on the brain is from an attention specifically with

exercise, why it acts almost like a stimulant medication with increasing

neurotransmitter levels, and he'll also talk about exercise routines that are

especially effective for patients diagnosed with ADHD. So thank you Dr. Radi so much for being here today. Let me introduce

him to you. He is an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical

School and he's an internationally recognized expert in neuropsychiatry.

He's published widely more than 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books

including the extremely best-selling and groundbreaking Driven to Distraction Series with Ned Hollowell MD with his publication of Spark the the revolutionary new science of exercise in the brain he's really established himself as the one of the

world's foremost authorities on the connection between the brain and

physical fitness. So Dr. Rady, thank you so much for being here today. I'd also like to thank the sponsor of today's webinar, play attention. Play attention is the neurocognitive training program designed to strengthen both executive function and self-regulation.
