At Brain Treatment Center Michigan, we recognize that every neurodivergent child is unique, and understanding their brain function is the first step toward providing meaningful support. That’s why we’re excited to share this insightful episode of Chaos & Caffeine: The ADHD Parenting Podcast, featuring Dr. Richard Boles, pediatric geneticist, functional medicine expert, and founder of NeuroNeeds.
In this episode, Dr. Boles breaks down the often-overlooked connection between mitochondrial function and brain health. He explains how underlying mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in conditions like ADHD, autism, and PANS/PANDAS. He also shares how addressing that dysfunction through targeted nutritional and mitochondrial support can make a real difference.
For parents who are tired of “wait and see” or medication-only options, this conversation offers hope grounded in science. Dr. Boles shares actionable steps and practical interventions that aim to support the unique brain chemistry of each child—not just manage symptoms, but work toward long-term improvement.
Whether you’re parenting a child with autism, ADHD, or another neurodevelopmental difference, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical tools you can use. It’s perfect for listening during your commute, your evening walk, or while sipping your morning coffee. This informative, empowering podcast might give you a new perspective on what’s possible.
