Description: This workshop explores seven distinct types of ADHD through the lens of brain imaging and neurobiology. Participants learn how each type—ranging from inattentive to overfocused or anxious—requires different treatment approaches. The session offers practical, brain-based strategies using nutrition, exercise, supplements, and therapy to improve focus, impulse control, and emotional balance in children and adults.
