Beyond Genes: How Environment and Lifestyle Impact ADHD
Register at the above link for this free ADDitude expert webinar on the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on ADHD with Joel Nigg, Ph.D., on Wednesday, August 2, at 1 pm ET.
Not available August 2nd? Don’t worry. Register now and we’ll send you the replay link to watch at your convenience. (Please note that access to this webinar replay will remain free until February 2, 2018. After that, you will find it in the ADDitude Store in our library of expert on-demand webinars!)
The science behind ADHD is rapidly changing and the picture is becoming more complex and more hopeful. We now know that genes are not destiny. Genes create a tendency or a potential, but the environment — including diet, stress, exposure to pollutants, and more — ultimately shapes or activates that tendency. Environmental changes may re-set genes and even change which genes are turned on and turned off. That, in turn, changes how the brain develops and organizes itself. In effect, the environment can override genes to affect brain signaling.
In this webinar, you will learn:
New scientific findings about the importance of environment in brain development and ADHD
How ADHD relates more to self-regulation than it does to hyperactivity or inattention
The latest research regarding the interplay of genes and environmental factors
How the ADHD brain connects and wires itself
How chemical pollutants may affect a child’s predisposition toward ADHD
How sleep and exercise grow the brain’s network connections
How lifestyle changes can improve your child’s journey with ADHD
Joel Nigg, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, scientist, and a professor in the departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at OHSU. He directs the OSHU ADHD Research program and is also director of the division of psychology. He is the author of a new book for parents on ADHD, environment, and lifestyle entitled, Getting Ahead of ADHD: What Next-Generation Science Says About Treatments That Work — and How You Can Make Them Work for Your Child. Dr. Nigg has published some 200 scientific papers related to the neuropsychological , cognitive, and temperamental correlates of child ADHD, to ADHD genetics, and in particular for this talk, to gene and environmental effects in ADHD.
