For every 9 boys diagnosed with ADHD, there’s one girl diagnosed. But ADHD isn’t a gender-related condition. It’s that girls and women are so under-diagnosed. One of the reasons is because our symptoms look completely different from the hyperactive boy we all remember from elementary school. In fact, lots of women with ADHD did very well in school, are successful adults with good careers and generally appear to really have their lives together. Case in point—Carolyn! So in today’s episode, you’r...

The cascade effect is then a higher risk of heart disease, autoimmune diseases, migraines, cancer, and—because this is the Happy Eating Podcast—mental health conditions. In today’s episode, we break down the MTHFR gene: what it is exactly, what the health effects are if you have it, and a super-simpl...

But, in fact, it could be how anxiety is manifesting in your child. So what are these sneaky signs of anxiety? Let’s find out! Thank you for listening to The...
