  • Research Recap with Skye: Maternal Inflammation
    Feb 27 2026

    Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper, dive into what it says and how it was conducted, and try to find practical takeaways.

    In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Evaluation of Maternal Inflammation as a Marker of Future Offspring ADHD Symptoms: A Prospective Investigation." This study investigates the biological origins of ADHD—specifically, whether a mother's immune system during pregnancy might be able to predict ADHD symptoms in her children once they are born.

  • My IEP Hero with Erika Levine
    Feb 23 2026

    Hey Team!

    Today, I'm talking with Erika Levine, a special education professional with a clinical background in Occupational Therapy. Erika has made it her mission to simplify the legal and procedural hurdles that keep parents from getting their kids the support they're legally entitled to, drawing from her deep well of lived experience as both a professional and a parent of neurodivergent children.

    In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of advocating for a child who isn't "failing" but certainly isn't thriving. We dive into the legal weight these documents carry, the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan and how we can walk into those meetings with six professionals without feeling like you're the one being sent to the principal's office. Erika also shares some personal history about her own mother's advocacy and why she created "My IEP Hero" to help parents navigate the system.

    This Episode's Top Tips

      1. Treat the IEP as a legal mandate and understand that it is a legally binding document that schools must adhere to strictly; it is not a set of globalized suggestions, but a tailored plan for a specific child.
      2. Remember that the IEP team should include more than just teachers; it includes specialists like OTs, PTs, speech-language pathologists, and psychologists who can address the child's needs.
      3. If a school denies services because the child is "fine" academically, parents can request an Individualized Educational Evaluation (IEE) from an outside psychologist, which the school may be required to fund. Remember we want to focus on our children thriving, not just passing by through school.

  • Calming Up: Beyond the Hype
    Feb 20 2026

    Hey Team!

    In physics, there's a concept called "static friction"—it's the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting. It's actually harder to get something moving than it is to keep it moving once it's already in motion. I think about this a lot when I'm staring at a pile of mail or a sink full of dishes. We often feel like we need a massive internal explosion to overcome that static friction, like we have to "hulk smash" our way into productivity just to get off the couch.

    But that explosion often carries us too far, landing us right in the middle of a panic attack or total overwhelm. We're essentially trying to jump from zero to sixty in a car that isn't even idling yet. Today we're looking at a different approach: how we can gently increase our internal RPMs without redlining the engine. We're exploring the biology of our nervous system and how we can use "bottom-up" signals to tell our brains that it's time to move, without relying on the usual fuel of shame or last-minute panic.

    This Episode's Top Tips

      1. Stop trying to "think" your way out of a shutdown or a panic. When your Prefrontal Cortex is offline, your brain isn't listening to logic; it's listening to your body. Use physical signals—like temperature or movement—to tell your brain you are safe or ready to move.
      2. Understand that some stress is biologically necessary for ADHD focus. Instead of trying to be perfectly relaxed before a big task, aim for "optimal stimulation"—enough arousal to feel sharp, but not so much that you're jittery.
      3. When you're stuck in a low-energy state, don't look for a massive "hype" session that might lead to overwhelm. Instead, "calm up" by using the smallest possible increments of arousal—like a single song or light stretching—to reach a "zen" state of doing.

This is such a great point! What I do is hard! The things I can’t do are hard for others too! I when I do things well… it’s even more impressive cause it’s much harder for me than neuro typical!!!

OMG HE IS IN MY HEAD!!!

Will is not a professional. He is an adult living with ADHD who has worked with professionals, and now he is sharing what he continues to learn in this podcast. Each episode is well thought out, well written, and pretty short (about 15 minutes or so). While I am the creator of the ADHD reWired Podcast Network, and host of ADHD reWired, Will has 100% creative control, and I often find myself learning from him because of how he presents information. Oh, and I love the dad jokes!

Well written and insightful.

I love just hearing how I'm not the only one who struggles with all these bumps in the road. I'm late diagnosed so having confirmation certain quirks are part of how I'm wired. I'm learning so much!

late diagnosis

Diagnosed 1.5 years ago at age 55, I’ve been exploring all of the ways I can mitigate the level of difficulty my ADHD causes in my daily life. Great suggestions regarding use of tools, affirmation of my individual efforts at managing (hearing that another adult tries, fails & succeeds just like me), and feeling that I’m not alone - even in a COVID world!
Great work!

Outstanding content, helpful, comforting & pragmatic
