Is ADHD Only in Your Brain? Embodied Neuroscience Says No

ADHD has long been framed as a dopamine problem, but embodied neuroscience paints a far more complex—and empowering—picture. In this episode, Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas explains why ADHD isn’t just happening in the brain, but across the entire mind-body system. From gut-brain chemistry to interoception, movement, intuition, and emotional regulation, ADHD shows up through signals that most adults have been conditioned to ignore. Instead of trying to “fix” yourself with productivity tools, this conversation invites you to rebuild self-trust, tune into your body’s cues, and support your brain through rest, nourishment, and nervous system regulation. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how ADHD actually works—and why honoring your rhythms is the key to thriving.
