Summary
EP498. In this episode, Renee gets real about her journey with ADHD and what it’s been like navigating life (and motherhood) with a busy, beautiful ADHD brain. She shares the common signs of ADHD in adult women—spoiler: it’s not always what you think—and opens up about her experience starting Vyvanse, including what it should feel like when medication is working well. Oh, and because life never slows down, Renee also takes us through the chaotic rollercoaster of her day… because, of course, everything had to happen at once. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, scattered, or like your brain has 37 tabs open, this one’s for you.

| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |

| 0:49.8 | Welcome to the mom room. I apologize if you can hear Milo upstairs playing his little fidget game. |
| 0:56.8 | It's like a handheld. It looks like a Nintendo controller, but there's poppits in it. And I guess it lights up some of the bubbles and you have to press it in time. I don't know. Should he be sleeping? Yes, he should. Did he just come down five minutes ago and ask me to change the background on his iPad? I was like, how is this a thing that we need to do right now? Like, he got out of bed and came and asked to do it. And I let him do it. I was like, sit beside me, change your background. I don't see why this has to be done right now. And he was like, well, if we go on a trip, we're going on a trip in June. And I was talking to him about it today. And so he, you know, whilst trying to fall asleep, decided that he had to change the background on his iPad for when we go on the plane. Honestly, it's relatable. It's like when adults are trying to fall asleep, |
| 1:45.0 | and they're like, where's my passport? Even though they're not traveling, like they have no travel plans or you're like, where's my birth certificate? It's the exact same thing. He's like, I have to change the background on my iPad. So I apologize if you can hear that little game. It is quarter to nine. He should be sleeping. But |
| 2:00.8 | anyways, we're just going to choose our battles today, okay? Because it has been a day. If you follow |
| 2:06.5 | my personal Instagram at the Renee Rina stories, you know that I have literally spent my day. |
| 2:14.0 | Working nonstop, had so much work to do, got so much done. My mammaire and Dan, who is my grandpa, |
| 2:20.6 | were here and they were getting things done around the house for me because I am |
| 2:25.2 | les incompetent when it comes to home, you know, hanging curtain rods and anything, |
| 2:32.1 | like hanging a photo, all that kind kind of stuff so he actually got so much |
| 2:36.8 | stuff done first of all the rug remember that post i put out the other day that was like here's all |
| 2:42.4 | the things that i was procrastinating doing forever so we got a lot of those things done what i have |
| 2:48.2 | left to do is put away the clothes in the laundry room. I have yet to do that |
| 2:53.5 | and it just keeps piling up. Oh, damn, I'm looking at the list right now because I was like, |
| 2:58.3 | what did I say? I was procrastinating. So I didn't take down that basketball hoop, which is a two-second |
| 3:04.3 | job. So I am going to do that immediately once I finish recording this because I'm on a |
