Dr. Chris Palmer says ADHD diagnoses have tripled, but trauma and poverty haven't increased, so they can't explain it. He points to metabolic dysfunction from modern diet and sedentary life as the real driver of the surge.

The root is metabolic dysfunction, which means diet, exercise, lifestyle, other things.
