Your Brain Isn't Broken: ADHD, Neuroinflammation & Natural Healing with Dr. Anna Marie Frank

In this episode of The Recharge Biomedical Podcast, Edward Park, MD, MPH speaks with Anna Marie Frank about ADHD, brain health, medication, social media, artificial intelligence, and the role of self-regulation in mental well-being.Anna Marie Frank shares her personal journey from education and school wellness into naturopathy, brain health, and nutraceutical development. After experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, and poor responses to several medications, she began exploring neuroscience, epigenetics, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and holistic approaches to supporting attention and emotional health.The conversation examines the idea that ADHD may be better understood as a spectrum rather than a single, uniform diagnosis. Dr. Park and Frank discuss how attention, behavior, and focus can be influenced by interest, movement, sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, inflammation, nutrition, and environmental factors. They also discuss concerns about relying on stimulant medication as a one-size-fits-all solution.Throughout the episode, Frank discusses lifestyle-oriented approaches including sleep, sunlight, movement, nutrition, gut health, breathing, stress reduction, herbs, and body-based practices. The conversation also explores the possible relationship between neuroinflammation, gut dysregulation, mood, behavior, and attention difficulties. Some of the approaches and claims discussed are based on personal experience, clinical observation, or holistic-health frameworks and should not be interpreted as established medical evidence.- - - - - Connect with Dr. Anna Marie FrankInstagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie & @HappyWholeYouListen to her podcast: https://happywholeyou.libsyn.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1fWbiBTQZs- - - - -Take the free, 7-minute Quantum Alignment Assessment to unlock your personalized health roadmap today: https://happywholeyou.com/pages/quantumalignmentassessmentdr-annamarie- - - - - Connect with Dr. Ed ParkLinkedin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dredpark/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dredpark/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rechargebiomedical.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Recharge Biomedical | Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- - - - -PODCASTThank you for listening.Please subscribe and share.This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/
