Which Comes First—ADHD Or....?
Poor sleep or eating patterns?
Being out of shape?
Chronic conditions (for example, diabetes or hypertension)?
Poor balance and coordination that make exercise harder?
Strained communication and chaos at home?
ADHD neurobiology can set up many of these problems—and then make solutions feel elusive.
Nagging and shaming (even of yourself) won’t change that.
Another big ADHD “chicken and egg”:
Medication works better when you’re getting solid sleep.
Sleep strategies work better when medication improves daytime functioning.
In this training, we walk through these connections together, step by step.
It’s do-able.
First, Sleep
Maybe you’ve grown resigned to poor sleep. Doctors may have blamed this or that—but were their suggestions helpful?
Stimulant medication might have made things worse. But what if:
It wasn’t the right one for you?
It rebounded in the evening, keeping you up?
You’d sleep better if medication stayed active through the night—sometimes easing Restless Legs or Sleep Apnea?
ADHD sleep issues aren’t one thing. You need a step strategy that fits you—not an ADHD stereotype.
Next, Medication
Medication helps (maybe), but side effects or “crashes” undo any gains?
Not sure what’s ADHD, anxiety, or side effect?

Hi, I'm Gina Pera
Decades ago, my husband was diagnosed with ADHD—after I started connecting the dots when few people even knew what to look for.
Since then, I’ve focused on helping others understand ADHD deeply, improve treatment results, and navigate the predictable challenges.
The truth? Good help is still hard to find. We often have to self-educate—wisely.
This course is my way to share that vital, hard-to-find knowledge that can truly make a difference.
I look forward to meeting you—and answering your questions.

Jerry D., Florida
"Gina’s given me hope. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to get my life back on track. That means not spending $5,000 on another substance-use program. I don’t have an ‘addictive personality’—I have ADHD."

CPAP helps—when you use it—but ADHD symptoms remain?
