    If there were some fairly simple changes to your environment and to your habits which you could make to get more energy, better focus, and reduce the exhaustion of overwhelm, would you want to know about them? You are in the right place! Join my guest Brooke Erickson, RD and I as she explains how our exposure to light and darkness controls our human circadian rhythm, the air traffic controller of our brain and body functions. Our modern lifestyles keep this rhythm off-balance; the result is high cortisol levels, lower dopamine production, poor sleep, altered body metabolism, and using sugar to get the dopamine hits that sustain brain activity but in unhealthy ways.  Listen (or watch) as we explore how to get our circadian rhythms back on track. (Hint: Change the timing, wavelengths and brightness of light exposure over the day and into the evening.) Listen, and Learn ! 

    Brooke Erickson is a functional holistic nutritionist whose clinical practice focuses on helping people relieve stress, gain energy and focus, by getting at the root causes of the dysfunctional patterns into which they have fallen.

ADHD Focus with David Pomeroy, MD

Dr. Pomeroy has practiced Family Medicine in a variety of settings in the Pacific Northwest since completing his Family Practice Residency training program in Seattle in 1979, after having the good sense to move out west from the East Coast where he was raised. He did full-spectrum Family Practice including care of patients in hospital, delivering babies, assisting at surgery, and maintaining a busy office practice while in private practice in Puyallup and Gig Harbor then with large multi-specialty practices in primary care offices in Redmond and Issaquah.

When primary care office practice degenerated into a blur of “see patients every 15 minutes” and “come back if you have a second problem”, he left it behind in 2005 to start his practice specializing in the field of ADHD. Over the past 10 years he has evaluated over 3000 patients of all ages and managed their care for ADHD and a variety of co-occurring disorders.

He is well versed in all aspects of ADHD. He has presented talks to lay and professional groups and participates actively in the nationalADHD community. He continues to add to his working knowledge of ADHD by listening to his patients, attending national meetings of ADHD specialists as well as keeping up to date with research in the field reported in ADHD professional journals.

In his spare time he enjoys long-distance cycling, Lindy Hop swing dancing, listening to music of all genres (not much country…), skiing and being outdoors in the great Pacific Northwest.
