We’re baaaack!! If you’re new here, we are Anushka and Sayaka, your two ADHD therapists with ADHD, here to help you navigate the beautiful, chaotic life as an ADHDer. If you’re a returning listener, we are so happy to have you back here.

In our first episode of season 3, we sat down with Dr Royan Kamyar, a physician-entrepreneur and the Founder & CEO of Owaves, a digital health company on a mission to revolutionize time for health and well-being. Under his leadership, Owaves has helped over one million people across 150+ countries build healthier routines. The app has been featured by Reuters, Forbes, The Washington Post, and Fox News.

Royan also served as Principal Investigator for the NIH Precision Medicine Initiative, the largest research program in U.S. history, leading digital innovation for nearly one million participants. Owaves collaborates with UC San Diego’s Center for Circadian Biology, Scripps Research and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to advance the science of daily rhythms and precision health.

In this episode, we cover:

• Time blindness vs time agnosia

• An ADHDer’s experience of time agnosia

• The importance of visual time planners

• How to work with your chronotype to optimise your 24 hours, energy, and lifestyle
