Dr. Mirza cuts straight through the fear around ADHD treatment. While the world obsesses over side effects, he asks the bigger question: what’s the cost of leaving ADHD untreated? He explores what happens to health, relationships, and careers when ADHD is ignored, how much harm comes from the absence of treatment rather than treatment itself, and what real risk versus benefit looks like when you consider the full picture.

Jonathan MooneyDisability Rights Leader & Founder of One of the Nation’s Foremost LD/ADHD Nonprofits

Maybe It’s Not Anxiety or Procrastination Maybe It’s a Nutrient Deficiency No One Checked
Dr. Uma NaidooHarvard-Trained Nutritional Psychiatrist & Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at MGH

ADHD doesn’t play fair with food. Some days you forget to eat until 4PM. Other days you inhale everything in sight and still feel empty. This isn’t “bad habits,” it’s biology, and psychiatrist-chef Dr. Uma Naidoo explains why ADHD brains swing between starvation and binge mode, how medication can scramble appetite in ways most doctors never mention, and which food shifts can actually steady your mind instead of fueling the spiral.
