#427: The Brain Type Behind Your Kid's Focus and Meltdowns with Dr. Steven Rondeau
If your child has been labeled with ADHD, anxiety, or "just difficult," this brain scan conversation will change how you see their brain completely.
Dr. Steve Rondeau, a licensed naturopathic doctor and founder of Axon EEG Solutions, has analyzed over 50,000 brain scans. In this episode, he explains why two kids with the same ADHD diagnosis can have completely different brains, what a QEEG brain scan actually measures, and why he calls certain wiring patterns "gifts" instead of disorders. We also get into his Husky Phenomenon concept, why some kids self-regulate on screens while others fall apart, and how to find or request a brain scan for your own child. This is the episode to listen to before your next trial-and-error conversation with a provider.
