They discuss Dr. Jackson’s journey from chiropractic to brain health, her insights into ADHD and neurodiversity, and how brain differences impact function and behaviour. Dr. Jackson emphasises the importance of understanding and optimising brain health through lifestyle changes such as sleep, nutrition, and physical activity. They explore educational approaches, like Montessori, to better support neurodiversity. The conversation also touches on the effects of video games on mood and strategies for managing screen time, culminating in advice for parents and individuals on achieving better cognitive function and well-being.
