He said for *10 minutes daily, that constitutes the meditation. It is not going to solve all your problems in one day, but doing it consistently can help your brain “learn” how to focus and he claims it can replace medication. He states the success of medication can potentially wear off after a few years so this is a useful tool for people who’s brains no longer work with medication or who don’t want medication. I plan on doing both.
I agree that ADHD medication is no silver bullet, you need to combine it with other therapies like CBT, coaching, mindfulness, meditation, diet and some form of exercise. In regards to meditation, yes it does contribute but it is no silver bullet either, however, it has nothing on medication in regards to effectiveness, which is why so many have benefited from it. I, as an ADHD'r have tried various things and would personally find exercise, other than medication to be more effective than meditation, but in saying that, others might benefit more from meditation. Another effective approach is something I learnt from David Giwerc, master certified ADHD coach, where you focus on your awareness, your thoughts, think about what your thinking about! I highly recommend his book, Permission to Proceed by the way. And for those who have a negative reaction to medication, meaning the side effects outweigh the benefits, or have no effect at all, I suggest delving into something you love doing and are passionate about.

Yes, it seems more bearable when we say “focus on breathing”. Ah ah! That's a good idea :D An idea that could probably help a lot would be to start breathing like a woman giving birth when you are close to a fit of excitement to calm you down quickly.
Why is a chiropractor giving advice on ADHD? It’s indicative of how little he understands when he suggests people with ADHD *should focus* on their breathing for *thirty minutes*.
Hey. Thanks for watching Nurkolas. If you are, or personally know a specialist on ADHD please send them my way and I’ll interview them live in my clinic to set the record straight. In the meantime I’m going to take some long deep breaths, and remind both of us that the video is me regurgitating published, peer reviewed research.
To be honest I don’t know enough about the effects of the C8 stuff yet. Maybe there just isn’t a lot of research or maybe I’m not focusing on it. The question I would ask a patient before answering would be, “how’s the rest of your diet?”
Hey Paul. Thanks for watching. I’m not sure what you’re looking for here but I just take research I come across and turn it into these quick videos to try to help people. I’m not sure psychiatrists talk about stuff like this anymore…
@@scarred10 you don’t have to be any profession to inform others of potential relief from a pretty prevalent condition. Especially considering how simple yet potentially effective it is. Since you’re so good at policing others though, got any credentials yourself?
Summary: Focus on breathing, 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out for 1 minute, and then shift the focus to the task you wanna do.
Thank you. But his advice is pseudoscience. Does he know how many people have said this exact same thing to fix like 300 different issues?
@@jorgeherrera1074Right? Do deep-breathing, then "just do the thing". As if ADHD people haven't heard that hundreds or thousands of times 🤣
Thanks! I appreciate you saving our time!

I really appreciate this video and you trying to help us people that struggle with adhd! Will start implementing this in my daily routine

Makes huge sense ❤. Meditation help focus in one thing breathing and forget your surroundings temporarily. Thank you so much doctor ❤️
The science of this is a little shakey but cerebellum training is also very helpful according to a bunch of studies.
Interesting. Would be great to have those studies linked in the description.

Thank you great doctor you saved me
thanks, this really helped!
I’m confused. Why is a chiropractor talking about ADHD?
I took them so I could get my driver's license, but I won't take any meds again for ADHD
Thank you so much
good job from a premed student who has adhd!! thank you sir
Do you take medications like Ritalin? How did you counter restlessness and constant inattention?
Yes, it seems more bearable when we say “focus on breathing”. Ah ah! That's a good idea :D An idea that could probably help a lot would be to start breathing like a woman giving birth when you are close to a fit of excitement to calm you down quickly.
OK, I'm committing to this every day and will report back. Thank you
Nice, will try!

Sir can we take c8 mct oil for brain

Anyone else have ADHD?
How is a chiropractor an authority on psychiatry

@@NightlightChiropractic this is the area of trained psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, not a psuedoscience like chiropractic.
@@scarred10 enjoy your drugs and therapy then. My pseudoscience breathing exercises shouldn’t bother you.
