The ADHD-iction Crisis

Loading player...
What do Bart Simpson, Ritalin, and modern attention spans have in common? In this episode of the Integrow Health Podcast, we take a sharp look at the rise of ADHD diagnoses since the late ’80s and how Big Pharma’s “solution” may have created a new cycle of dysfunction. From the cultural shift sparked by The Simpsons to the hidden long-term risks of stimulant medications, we explore what’s really behind the attention crisis—and more importantly, what you can do about it.

Discover natural, practical steps to support focus, calm, and healthy brain function without relying on a prescription pad.
