About this episode

What if your ADHD symptoms aren’t just about your brain, but also your hormones? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jolene Brighten to break down the powerful connection between ADHD and hormones, including how estrogen, progesterone, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, blood sugar, inflammation, and thyroid health can all impact the way ADHD shows up in women.We also talk about how ADHD can look different in women, why so many women are missed or misdiagnosed, what postpartum women should be testing, and practical ways to support your brain through movement, nutrition, sleep, and hormonal transitions.
