Memorable Moments:
“A gene is an instruction that tells your cells what to do.”
“Even in ADHD, we don’t see one profile that points to it genetically. There are multiple, and none of them actually cause a clinical ADHD. They all cause behavior that gets diagnosed as ADHD but isn’t in fact that at all.”
“The majority of what we see in mood and behavior issues, including ADHD, people don’t innately have. They’re actually wired for some form of superpower and they’ve been put in the wrong context where they’re not using that superpower.”
“In the science of genetics, there are genes that they point to that are ADHD genes. The challenge is, that’s the 2 or 3% who innately have something…97% of our kids who are struggling were not born with the condition.”
“Our DNA is not ready for the way that we live…It’s no wonder everyone has ADHD and anxiety. We don’t have it. We have neural inflammation, we have the wrong context, we have overstimulation, we have overdepolyment of neurochemicals, which leads to all of these outward behaviors.”
“There are 3 buckets epigenetically: environment…nutrition…and lifestyle.”
“Pick the right lifestyle choice based on what your genes are saying.”
“The body is designed to handle toxins…It’s not designed to handle the current reality and the amount we have to handle.”
