Simon Baron-Cohen on autism’s hidden costs, strengths, and misunderstood realities
Autism is the focus of this conversation with Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, covering loneliness, masking, empathy, addiction, and mental health. It also looks at pattern-seeking strengths, intellectual intimacy, and why feeling different can shape identity in painful ways.
A 14-day food plan for ADHD, hormones, and everyday focus
This episode centers on a 14-day meal plan that Dr. Jolene Brighten says can change how ADHD is managed. Expect a conversation that connects nutrition, hormones, and women’s health, with a focus on practical ideas rather than abstract theory.
How hormones, pregnancy, and food may reshape ADHD in women
Female ADHD is the focus here, with Dr. Jolene Brighten connecting symptoms to hormones, immune health, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, PMDD, endometriosis, and perimenopause. The episode also promises practical discussion on meal planning, energy, focus, and daily habits.
What 5,000 ADHD assessments revealed about shame, masking, and late diagnosis
ADHD assessment and support are the focus as Danielle Mulligan returns to discuss the emotional patterns she’s seen across thousands of cases. The episode looks at shame, masking, missed diagnoses, and what actually happens during an assessment.
When healing feels worse before it feels better
Nervous system healing is the focus here, with Dr Jacob Ambrose unpacking why safety, rest, and reduced anxiety can feel surprisingly uncomfortable at first. The episode also looks at hypervigilance, rejection, exhaustion, and what can motivate you when fear no longer runs the show.
