This wek, we’re joined by the wonderfully insightful Dr Nighat Arif for a wide-ranging conversation about women’s health, ADHD, perimenopause, medical misinformation and the realities of navigating the NHS. We cover brain fog and hormone shifts to the dangers of TikTok health myths and the importance of being believed by your doctor.

We also dig into the overlap between ADHD, dyslexia and hormonal change, why women’s symptoms are so often missed or misread, and how to advocate for yourself in a 10-minute GP appointment. Along the way, there are laughs, honest reflections and plenty of myth-busting from one of the UK’s most trusted medical voices.

From school struggles and hyperactivity to fame, addiction, sobriety, and the search for understanding, John speaks with honesty, warmth, and plenty of laughs about what it really means to live with ADHD.

Dom Joly has spent his career making the world laugh — but has he spent his whole life accidentally thriving on anxiety, chaos, and what he cheerfully calls his "secret sauce"?

In this brilliantly funny and surprisingly moving episode, Dom opens up about growing up in war-torn Lebanon, his son's possible ADHD diagnosis, his complicated relationship with the word "normal," and why his wife has been telling him to see someone for years.

He came on as a question mark, but which buzzer did he end up pressing?
