Confused about Your Hormones? This is Your Expert Advice on ADHD, Cycles and Menopause

In this week’s 'Wisdom' episode, we explore Chapter 5 (Live in Sync With your Hormones) of my upcoming new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, focusing on the often-overlooked hormonal factors (particularly progesterone) that can influence ADHD symptoms, especially during our menstrual cycles, perimenopause and menopause.In this conversation, we revisit Kate's chats with Dr. Emma Ping, a menopause specialist, and Adele Wimsett, a women’s health practitioner and author. Together, they unpack how hormones like progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone interact with the ADHD brain, and why understanding this link is crucial for women’s wellbeing.🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here🌟What You’ll Learn:Why perimenopause can amplify ADHD symptoms, and how to spot the signs.The role of progesterone acts as a mood stabiliser, the impact of reduced levels during perimenopause, and why it’s often misunderstood in women’s health.How to distinguish between ADHD symptoms and hormone-related changes to get the right support.How HRT, including oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, can support cognitive and emotional wellbeing.The difference between synthetic progestins and body-identical progesterone, and why it matters.Why perimenopause can be the “perfect storm” for late-diagnosed ADHDers, and what needs to change in medical care.The empowering role of symptom tracking and cyclical awareness to support ADHD traits and emotional regulation.Timestamps:03:19 - The important Intersection of ADHD and Menopause 4:19 - Exploring HRT for ADHD Women19:26 - How Hormonal Changes Can Impact Your ADHD 22:24 - Understanding Estrogen Dominance and Its Effects28:31 - The Ripple Effect: Creating Change for ADHD WomenWhether you’re navigating brain fog, mood swings, or anxiety, this episode offers clarity on what’s happening in your body and what support truly works.
