Slack your lines and start hacking those sacks because this episode we’re covering the cerebellum, and turns out, we ADHDers need all the balancing practice we can get.

Kristin is dropping a digestible meat nugget of brain anatomy before leading us through the latest research that shows how a smaller cerebellum affects mental coordination in addition to physical movement (which explains oh so much).

We also share activities for strengthening the cerebellum, encourage you to take up juggling, and read a bird to absolute filth before giving the imitation performance of a lifetime.
