ADHD Lifestyle, Purpose & Non-Medication Paths with Dr. Asad Raffi

ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here 🌟

In this insightful and final episode of Ask The Psych, I’m joined by Dr. Asad Rafi to explore the evolving understanding of ADHD, from the limitations of diagnosis to building a life that supports long-term wellbeing.

We dive into how ADHD can impact health span and life span, and why recognising and working with your brain can lead to a more fulfilling, sustainable life. From navigating career choices to avoiding burnout, this episode is all about shifting from deficit thinking to a strengths-based, brain-first approach.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ The challenges of getting an ADHD diagnosis, and what to do if it isn’t accessible

✨ How to manage ADHD when medication isn’t an option

✨ The potential (and limits) of neurofeedback and brain imaging

✨ How unsupported ADHD can reduce life span — and what to do about it

✨ How understanding your brain and shaping your lifestyle to fit with it supports ADHD wellbeing and growth

✨ Finding fulfilment in your career by following strengths and passions

✨ How to ensure your self-worth isn’t tied to your job and how to prevent burnout with self-care

This episode is a powerful reminder that ADHD isn’t just something to manage, it’s something you can work with to live a longer, healthier, more meaningful life.
