0:00.0	ADHD doesn't just live in the brain. Attention, executive function. It's almost like you picture ADHD as something that happens from the neck up and you forget that it's a whole body, mind experience.
0:11.0	It's not a matter of trying to fix your ADHD or to fix your autism. Your body has got different rhythms.
0:18.0	And it's going to be different to somebody else's. You're not broken. Your rhythm is slightly different and if you learn to work with it, there's going to be amazing things that you can achieve in life. Dr. Miguel Toribio-Meteus is a renowned neuroscientist. With 25 years of experience, he's here to help you master your ADHD and autism using simple nutritional hacks. When we think about food, we think about what food
0:38.7	is good for you, what food is bad for you. You lose the whole context that food is very emotional,
0:43.9	is very messy and we are messy individuals living in a messy world just to try and make it all super
0:49.7	clean and tidy. It doesn't quite work. Are there things that you've discovered recently that
0:54.8	your mind is blown when you find out about it? One of the most important things that I've been
0:59.5	working on recently is huge announcement just before we start. Tickets to the ADHD chatter podcast

1:12.5	unpacking all things ADHD, how to process a late diagnosis or DHD and of course the dreaded
1:18.7	rejection sensitivity dysphoria. I really hope you can join me for a night full of validation,
1:24.6	laughs and insights and one that will remind you that you're not broken,
1:28.3	just different, and that you have always been enough. It's on the 19th of May in London. You can
1:33.1	find a link to the tickets in the description. I can't wait to meet you in person.
1:40.2	Dr. Miguel, this is exciting, a neuroscientist, a real-life neuroscientist in the ADHD Chatter
1:48.0	studio, and not only that, a really, really nice one, and one that I know is capable of helping
1:53.0	the ADHD chatter community in a really digestible way. So thank you so much for being here.
1:58.8	Thank you so much for having me. And one with ADHD and autism as well.
2:02.6	So, you know, autistic ADHD, a neuroscientist.
2:06.6	One right at the cutting edge of the research as well, and one who lives and breathes
2:12.6	ADHD, autism or DHD, which we're going to touch on a little bit later.
2:23.7	As a neuroscientist, what is the one thing that you tell people about ADHD that still blows their mind every time you say it?
