Can being an essential oils and crunchy parent cause ADHD?

As far as we know, ADHD is a chronic and genetic neurobiological disorder that is not caused by bad parenting, too much sugar and screen time...or did we? Because new studies have shown that some red dye and prenatal cannabis use has more long term impacts than you'd think! In today's episode of The Lucie Pod we mention it all! Judgement free of course, however, we mention it and we discuss the possible long term consequences of prenatal cannabis use and red dye 40 and how these new findings will impact wider ADHD understanding and conversations.

Toxic ADHD: An investigation and Diagnosis

You've heard of 'toxic positivty' and 'manifestation BS' but have you heard of Toxic ADHD? The notion that viewing ADHD as a 'superpower' is toxic as it does not adequately address or encapsulate the difficult reality of being ADHD. Well, now you've heard of it and now you're going to learn about it in this new episode of The Lucie Pod. In today's episode I am at war because two things can be true at once even though other's do not want that to be the case. I love being ADHD but gosh, it's crappy at (many) times. So, let's talk about it; ;let's talk about the spectrum that is ADHD and nuance that the ADHD conversation is lacking.
