Your Brain Is Not Broken: Getting To The Root Of ADHD And Anxiety with Avigail Gimpel

Anxious & Ambitious

Today’s guest is Avigail Gimpel, the author of HyperHealing, The Empowered Parent’s Complete Guide to Raising a Healthy Child with ADHD Symptoms (a #1 best seller on Amazon), and HyperHealing, Show me the Science!
While teaching 3rd grade in an inclusion classroom, she developed a successful intervention program for her students struggling with ADHD symptoms. She’s achieved advanced degrees in teaching children with Dyslexia and cognitive education for children with ADHD symptoms.

After finding her own kids with ADHD have very similar symptoms, she immersed herself in developing treatment options for ADHD for her own six kids and struggling students. Now, she educates parents to become ADHD coaches to their children.
If you’ve ever received a mental illness diagnosis and were left feeling confused, this episode is for you! We’re talking all about why your brain is NOT broken and how we can get to the root of ADHD and anxiety symptoms.
