Ep. 113: ADHD & Caffeine–A Cultural Caffeine Dependency

Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

Rise and grind those half-caff coffee beans because we’re talking ADHD and caffeine and it’s all about moderation.

This episode, professor Kristin is continuing her ADHD & addiction series with a big ol’ infodump about our nation’s lifeblood–caffeine. She’s getting into the science behind what caffeine is, how it works, the effects it has on the ADHD brain, and whether it can be used as a primary ADHD treatment.

We’re also sharing our icky day rituals, revealing our status as certified tossers, and encouraging society at large to stop normalizing unnecessary enemas and start normalizing routine colonoscopies.
