Is ADHD really a neurological disorder — or could gut health, diet, and inflammation play a role?
In this episode of ADHD Eavesdrop, Janine VanStee sits down with functional medicine practitioner Dr. Brad Montagne to explore a different perspective on ADHD, chronic illness, and the gut-brain connection.
Dr. Brad shares insights from nearly four decades of working with people experiencing complex health conditions including Lyme disease, digestive issues, and inflammation-related symptoms. The conversation dives into topics like diet, sugar, gut microbiome health, and how lifestyle choices may influence focus, behavior, and overall well-being.
Together they discuss:
• The connection between gut health and brain function
• Why inflammation may affect focus and behavior
• Diet, sugar, and processed foods
• The gut-brain relationship
• Functional medicine approaches to chronic illness
• Parenting and supporting children with ADHD
• Supplements, fish oil, and nutrition myths
• Epigenetics and lifestyle factors
As always on ADHD Eavesdrop, this is an open conversation — not a script — where you get to be a butterfly on the wall listening in.
If you’re curious about different perspectives on ADHD, health, and how our bodies work, this episode offers plenty to think about.
