Faster than normal brains require better brakes with Peter Shankman
Episode 34
Monday, 2 February, 2026

In this episode of Wonderfully Wired, hosts Elle and Juju sit down with ADHD expert and bestselling author Peter Shankman. Peter shares his unique perspective on the ADHD brain, comparing it to the controlled chaos of a Tokyo crosswalk. The conversation dives into the "all or nothing" nature of neurodivergence, covering Peter's "Chicken Genocide Diet" and his "Ironman" approach to managing energy. Peter also provides profound insights for parents, arguing that neurodivergent children are gifted, not broken, and stresses the importance of teaching skills alongside medical support. This episode is a masterclass in high-performance ADHD management, proving that with the right "traffic lights," a fast brain can achieve extraordinary things.
