How to Turn Your ADHD into a superpower — Andrés Preschel
Have you ever felt trapped by your own focus?
What if a single pill could give you straight A's… and also stop you from sleeping, eating, or feeling like yourself?
Here’s a conversation with Andres Preschel, my podcast guest this week on That One Time with Adam Metwally.
He’s an applied physiology & nutrition specialist who overcame 10 years on Adderall, starting at age 8.
He studied neuroscience at the University of Miami, then pursued applied physiology, nutrition, and now a Master’s in Biomedical Neuroscience.
He’s the founder of Know Your Physio, coaching CEOs, students—everyone—to harness neuroplasticity for genuine focus.
Below are some of the key concepts we explored in the episode:
- Heavy Metal Detox—Learn how chelation therapy can cut through mental fog in as little as 30 days.
- 4 Pillars of Health—Discover a step-by-step plan to rewire sleep, nutrition, movement, and mind.
- Attention Management—See how turning off 90% of notifications can reclaim at least 2 hours of your day.
