Founder of Bonding Health + PKJ Coaching | ADHD Coach | Stimulant-Reduction Advocate

Pen King Jr. was overmedicated for ADHD as a child — and it nearly cost him his motivation, emotional balance, and sense of self. After years of side effects, he began researching the long-term impact of stimulants, uncovering alarming data — including the work of Dr. Leonard Sax showing how these meds can shrink the nucleus accumbens, the part of the brain tied to motivation.

Now stimulant-free for over 15 years, Pen is trying to help others safely taper down medication and rebuild their lives through holistic, science-backed strategies.

With 25 years as an elite skier, four marathons, and over a decade in venture capital and mental health startups, Pen combines lived experience with high performance.

He founded PKJ Coaching to help others avoid what he went through — and finally heal.
