One of the things I value most as a physician is helping patients pursue their goals in ways that align with their values and life plans.
In this video, I share the story of a young man I first met as a teenager who struggled with executive functioning, focus, and cognitive performance challenges. While he met criteria for ADHD, he did not want medication treatment and hoped to preserve the option of future military service.
Over the years, we focused on supportive strategies and strengths-based approaches.
Later, after serving in the military and preparing to begin college, he chose to pursue an EXOMIND wellness protocol to support neuroplasticity, executive functioning, focus, and cognitive performance during that transition.
His experience was encouraging, and he is now doing very well in college.
Every patient journey is different, but I continue to be excited about emerging wellness tools that may help support brain health, resilience, focus, and performance.
