Frequently asked questions.

What is PKJ Coaching?

PKJ Coaching is a holistic ADHD coaching service founded by Pen King Jr., focused on helping individuals reduce stimulant use, master emotional regulation, and build sustainable mental performance through natural protocols. It blends neuroscience, coaching psychology, nutrition, and lifestyle tools to help ADHD clients thrive without relying solely on medication.

Who is PKJ Coaching for?

PKJ Coaching is designed for:

  • Adults with ADHD

  • Parents navigating their child's ADHD

  • Professionals looking to reduce stimulant dependency

  • High-achievers seeking more energy, clarity, and focus naturally

  • Anyone burned out from traditional mental health approaches

How is PKJ Coaching different from traditional ADHD coaching?

Unlike traditional ADHD coaching that often emphasizes task management and accountability alone, PKJ Coaching goes deeper — targeting nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and long-term dopamine health. Clients receive customized support that integrates:

  • Stimulant tapering guidance

  • Nutritional and lifestyle protocols

  • Micro-interventions for stress and motivation

  • Mind-body alignment practices (like breathwork, cold exposure, and supplements)

Can PKJ Coaching help me reduce or eliminate Adderall, Vyvanse, or other stimulants?

Yes. Pen King Jr. has personally gone through a stimulant tapering journey and developed a research-backed, gradual off-ramp approach that helps you safely reduce reliance on prescription stimulants like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin — while supporting dopamine health, focus, and mood using natural alternatives.

Note: PKJ Coaching does not replace medical advice. Clients are encouraged to work alongside their prescribing physician.

What is stimulant rebound, and does PKJ Coaching address it?

Stimulant rebound refers to the withdrawal symptoms and emotional crashes that often occur when stimulant medications wear off. PKJ Coaching addresses stimulant rebound by:

  • Strengthening emotional regulation

  • Balancing dopamine with nutrition and adaptogens

  • Introducing non-stimulant strategies to stabilize focus and motivation

  • Guiding clients through structured tapering supported by holistic tools

What’s included in a PKJ Coaching plan?

Each client receives a customized coaching program that may include:

  • Weekly 1-on-1 sessions with Pen King Jr.

  • Symptom-based goal setting

  • Stimulant tapering roadmap (if relevant)

  • Supplement + food protocol suggestions

  • Emotional regulation techniques (Qiks, journaling, breathwork)

  • Daily accountability systems (via email or voice memos)

  • Optional integration with the Bonding Health app

Is PKJ Coaching research backed?

Yes. PKJ Coaching is grounded in:

  • Emotional regulation science (based on validated frameworks like the ERQ)

  • Nutritional psychiatry and gut-brain health

  • Behavioral psychology, habit formation, and biofeedback

  • Pen’s lived experience and 17+ years of self-experimentation with ADHD, natural tools, and stimulant alternatives

How do I know if I’m ready for stimulant tapering or natural ADHD treatment?

If you’re asking questions like:

  • “Why does my medication work less over time?”

  • “I feel numb or emotionally flat — is it the meds?”

  • “Is there a way to thrive without being dependent on Adderall?”

…then PKJ Coaching can help you explore answers and create a safer, more aligned plan.

Is this coaching medical treatment?

No. PKJ Coaching is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. However, it may be used in conjunction with medical treatment to enhance emotional well-being, focus, and overall lifestyle alignment. How is this different from therapy?

While therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, PKJ Coaching is results-driven and forward-focused. It’s designed to help you take daily action toward emotional regulation, brain performance, and lifestyle mastery — without pathologizing who you are.
