- The hunter & gatherer Theory from Thom Hartmann suggests that our brains might have been the result of us being hunters back in the early days of civilization. If this is true, how can these hunter traits be used to our advantage in todays time (be it in the work environment or at home)? This and more is answered by Astrid McGuire, who is a certified ADHD Coach, having helped lots of people with ADHD work with, rather than against their brain.

Such an ADHD thing to listen this on 1.5x speed while drawing and eating lunch 😂
Jamming out to dubstep, watching a video on ADHD, and playing video games😂
Ah, I have found my people 🤣 I'm the one that listens to ADHD videos, TedTalks, or motivational content, while I'm reading... and pacing around the house as I do it.
I did the dishes, it really helped to me to focus 🤣
Haha yes, me as well ...
I am highly organized and have strong executive functions, but I watch vids in 2x speed (pretty much on high gear for many things in my life), wc makes me think I am on the spectrum.
I'm gonna come back after I take my 1st ritalin pill for the day, I've rewinded like 3 times already 🤦🏽♀️
I would add that if you have a lot of out of the box ideas and are a good problem solver, make sure you have the good education so you don't end up in a job where that sort of thing isn't valued.
Either that or work for yourself.
Yessssssssssss thank u
Most business owners have adhd
All the work I’ve ever done hasn’t worked for me just ruined my mental health
Great Podcast, we need to accept our superpowers and forget about social stigma, we are born leaders.

Hunters huh? Guess that explains the whole "look, it's a squirrel" thing😂😂
lmao
Uh ok
😂😂
You’re on to something with this channel, keep it up thank you!
🙏🙏
I’ve never resonated more with anything. Ever. Even the yoga and exercise. There are other me’s! Yay! Finally. Thanks so much.
I can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Either listen to the audiobook or wash the dishes. Otherwise I'm not really 'present' when I'm doing these things. I couldn't tell you what I just listened to or that I just washed the dishes.I just forget and move on to the millions of other things going on in my head!.....btw thank you for your channel. I only found this channel yesterday!
Story of my life haha. I like to think im being more 'productive' by listening to podcasts while doing the dishes but it's like the words I'm listening to just flow in and straight back out, I will pay attention and grasp one full sentence but then my thoughts run wild and I try and relate it too every scenario in my life and I completely loose my spot in the podcast, It's a vicious cycle haha.
@@jordanbate6 I think you guys have something called maladaptive daydreaming
As always-you never fail! Thanks so much. I have the book and am grateful for this! 🎉
I have ADD and social anxiety disorder so sales would be terrible for me. But writing and singing are my thing. I just don't make money off of it yet.
Strong areas for me too but never been allowed to explore them properly
Just done doing the dishes, felt only like a few moments. Beautiful podcast !!
Great video-thank you! I loved this book and I really related to the concept. I've also found it helpful and easy to understand for the non-ADHDer.
Do you have any videos on ADHD and finances? My friend is in huge debt because of ADHD, he's asked me to help but even trying to stop him from impulsively spending money is a challenge.
It feels very frustrating.
Taken into consideration!
Set up multiple bank accounts and compartmentalise your life works wonders for me I have ASD and combined ADHD late diagnosis and I have at least six separate bank accounts
I've only just found this channel through Reddit, the quality of the videos are great, keep it up!
Thank u!
This is awesome, buddy! I’m still learning how to control my ADHD. But wow, this is a huge help. Thank you!
Shared it with a few friends.
Yes was doing more things while listing😂
So helpful ❤
LOVE IT !, any new podcasts
Omg I love how everything is organized hahahaha this is perfect for someone with ADHD. Thank you :)
I thought sales was my thing, but discovered that I can't do it because I am analytical and cannot stop all my honest thoughts to screw it up. I am too spontaneous.
Also I think sales are extremely monotonous, I will just want to sleep after one hour ;)
The third reason why sales doesn't fit me is because I am afraid to forget the things I should say or saying something wrong. But this would probably not be a problem after some experience ...
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling with my symptoms and I don't know where to get help.
Amazing thank you
Great Podcast !!
Thank you!
I think the point Astrid is making is that people with ADHD are more likely to already have a growth mindset rather than have to acquire one. This is because of the more creativity and resilience involved with how the ADHD brain works and how we cope with the world we find ourselves in. This more natural mindset orientation can be used to our advantage.
Love this 😊
It’s important not to use ADHD as an excuse and instead address your weaknesses as you would as a neurotypical. I see a lot of people using ADHD as an excuse to be impulsive, aggressive, forgetful, cutting into conversations etc. If there are issues we can work through them.
Yet i got only the main idea of this theory, i find it very interesting. Just started to listen the video from chapter "Reading Books" LOL, to hear that should be fine to start with any chapter. I had to pause at minute 44 to write some connections i made about hunters and farmers, right now, from my personal life. We are 2 ADHD girls, she just got the diagnosis, i still did not go for it. We both got into independent animals rescue with no conditions to do that (we had to find foster spaces, pay vet treatments, food payed, find responsible adoptions), because the situation was in front of us and somebody had to do something. At home, we currently have our adopted pets: she have 2 dogs and 5 cats, i have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Our relating, communicating, understanding body language and all, with animals is spontaneous, is something normal, we did not need outside teachings. Yet, we are not really capable to keep a plant alive in a pot. Not because of cats, isolated in a room. I even killed a cactus. On the other side, i have another friend, girl, neurotypical, she also have dogs, perfect healthy routine and she is a plants guru, growing perfect food plants in her garden. As for her dogs, is a different story. The dogs are in good care, but it is interesting she needs to take lessons and to apply techniques regarding all their dog-humans interactions. I would be curious if this characteristics are not just my isolated case, if they are related, because they are so obvious for 'hunter and farmer' :)
I was listening to this podcast whilst doing the vacuuming and washing up because you know, white noise 🤣
Thanks so much for posting :))
🙏
are you German? ♥️
either way, much love from germany! this video actually did NOT entice me to click off after the first few seconds & I actually mostly even paid attention while drawing.
Hey! Happy to hear it and yea I am indeed german 😄
@@adhdvision ohhh yes 😉 ich wusste doch der Akzent kommt mir bekannt vor!!
16:03 Man… I was really into this and then the host COMPLETELY INTERRUPTED the coach after interrupting her many times before. As someone with ADHD, my brain couldn’t focus on anything else except for how rude that was so I had to click off shortly after. Such a bummer. I really liked where this was going.
What is the podcast name?
Do some adhders have a problem studdering ?
To answer your 2-year old comment:
Yes, I have ADHD and stumble over ma words a lot. Sometimes I have to start a word over several times before it comes out right. So... yes.
There should be a requirement to state how sevwre uour adhd is according to diagnosis (how many points out of 100) since im
Not interested in mild adhd telling me about sleep and diet when there are lots of strange videos out there. Just in generall im jot talking about this video here. :>
Thanks for the effort uploading
Know of any podcasts directly for teenage boys?
Only novels need to be read from beginning to end other books can be dipped in and out of when necessary
Gathers are so cute 🤣 I can picture them picking berries lol
What if I have both ADHD and autism? Would I still be a hunter? Or a farmer?
I have both
@@Dancestar1981 yes, me too, that’s why I asked. I wonder what we would be 🤔
I have both
What is the name of the podcast?
wdym
Tomato
Love the talk but found it aimless in that - 'change your mindset to accept it then work on it'Lol
Hoping it would be new information. All chat no real end. We can talk about how it effects one life forever like many positive talk stuff.... Ah never mind.
Hasn't this theory been debunked? Agriculture has been around for say 10,000 years, yet somehow our brains have evolved to be hunters or farmers in this time? Not to mention that once farming and animal domestication took off, the need for hunting dropped off a cliff.
As someone with ADHD, I can see the appeal of wanting to think of myself as a hunter. But come on, it seems like nonsense as soon as you think about it for 30 seconds.

I think it's very important to tell your employer before you except a position because their reply will tell you how they will treat you when you are working with them.
This theory about ADHD hunters is debunked a decade ago! Hartman himself said it was more a metaphor than anything. There’s no science to support. It may sound romantic, but a hunter really needs all his executive functions! I recommend to listen to Rusell Barkley instead. I didn’t make this talk more than ten minutes. So I cannot tell if there are any tips of worth later on.
Hey, let's turn it around. Maybe it's not lack of attention, but hyper attention. Man spent lot more time on the menu than being a hunter. What Farmers might call attention deficit, hunters call, don't get your ass eaten. It's all how you look at it. I think the predominant theory is man must focus on what other men require, therefore if you cannot, or cannot for a required amount of time, there is something wrong with you.
This is very very good and empowering
but remember not to become another community of
" victims"
Awkward - I don't think we were ever hunters and gathers. I think we were created as we are now, not coming from ape men. I'll skip to your recc'd video. :-)
I agree with you actually. Maybe another planet. I don't like the idea of coming from ape men. Neuro typical people maybe if that's what they'll prefer to believe.. But not me.. And people with ADHD, I think we're the newest type of humans to come to earth actually. People can call me crazy but that's how I see it..
The ape men theory is just a theory. And there is not enough evidence to support that actually. People should not believe everything they teach us in school🤯
A major problem with this theory is the term hunter gatherer applies to a society, men were not hunter gatherers, they were hunbters, women were gatherers; all the evidence points to gender roles where male hominin went off huntings for varying lengths of time, women had offspring to care for and gathered fruits, herbs, edible mushrooms, seashore species, as well as materials for living such as for building shelters and making clothes. That's why many thousands of years later, women were medical knowledge reservoirs, knowledge passed down the generations to daughters, and why in superstirious times women were labeled witches because the knowledge they has was scary to ignorant men.
There are also signs that women may have returned to the seas, albeit shallow ones; where they gave birth, gathered the riches of the sea shore, and kept cool in heat. I personally think the two genders lived largely separate lives, with men returning with their kills, so feasting as long as it lasted, then would go off on the hunt again. It would be impractical for children and babies to be risked on long It might also explain why men always take control of bbqs and burning meat!
So that would mean only men have ADHD, is that the case? I understood it was 'mostly males'. Then there is the fact that procreation would have mixed hunter genes with gatherer genes, so either all men would have ADHD, or evemryone would, it would be normal and we wouldn't be talking about it.
