Wired for the Wild

Understanding ADHD Through a Functional Lens

Wired for the Wild takes a different look at ADHD—encouraging parents to see a child's unique design not simply as a limitation, but as something that can be better understood and supported. The book explores focus, behavior, emotional challenges, nutrition, sleep, nervous-system regulation, hormones, inflammation, and other areas through a functional mental-health perspective.

“It’s not a defect. It’s a different design.”
