In this episode, I sit down with historian and author Bryan Mark Rigg to discuss his transformative book, Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age. Bryan shares his personal journey from failing first grade twice to earning a PhD from Cambridge, proving that ADHD and dyslexia are not "defects," but evolutionary advantages.We dive deep into:• The Hunter vs. Farmer Theory: Why ADHD traits made our ancestors superior hunters.• The Natural Treatment Plan: How an all-natural diet (removing red dyes and BHT) and daily exercise can replace or supplement medication.• Overcoming Poor Self-Esteem: How to stop feeling like a "freak" and start leaning into your hyper-focus.• Relationships & ADHD: Navigating marriage, dopamine-seeking behavior, and the "thrill of the hunt" in everyday life.Bryan Mark Rigg is a Yale graduate, Rhodes Henry Fellow, and Cambridge PhD. He is the author of several books, including Lives of Hitler's Jewish Soldiers and Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age.• Bryan’s Website: bryanmarkrigg.com • Book: Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age• Research: The Feingold Diet & Dr. Ned Hallowell's Driven to Distraction#ADHD #Dyslexia #LearningDisabilities #EvolutionaryPsychology #NaturalHealth #BryanMarkRigg #SuccessStories #MentalHealth
