How to Cure ADHD Without Drugs — Andrés Preschel

That One Time with Adam Metwally

Can ADHD transform from a flaw into an absolute superpower—without medication? Meet Andrés Preschel, an exercise physiologist who quit Adderall after a decade-long dependency and rebuilt his focus, physique, and confidence through a primal living approach. In this episode of That One Time, Andrés uncovers the four pillars of “ADD mastery” (sleep, nutrition, movement, mind), reveals how to manage phone notifications for intense focus, and explains why Adderall might be reinforcing an “inadequacy identity.” He also digs into heavy metal toxicity, the power of breathing, and the small weekly habits that can rewire a neurodivergent brain for unstoppable creativity and success. If you’re looking to upgrade your life by conquering ADHD, or want to see how data-driven health can unleash your true self, this conversation is for you!
