Suzanne and LeAnn are two friends and fellow life coaches who were both diagnosed with ADHD as grown-ass adults. The diagnosis explained a whole hell of a lot for both of them. Join them each week as they talk about the different ways ADHD impacts their work, relationships, and their lives in general. (Squirrel moments and conversational rabbit holes are guaranteed.)

Show Notes Episode 9: Hormones!

In this episode, we talk about hormones in women, how hormones fluctuations affect ADHD brains, PMDD, and more.

A Note: Sorry to our 2 male listeners, we won’t be sad if you skip this episode. Although, if you identify as a male supporting someone with ADHD who has extra rage-y PMS symptoms, this may be a good episode to listen to so you can understand how best to support your loved one!

Highlights of Episode Nine:

New research suggests that there is a link to hormonal changes throughout the lifespan and how ADHD symptoms show up.
Postpartum depression, peri- and post-menopause, and Pre-menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) impact women with ADHD more severely than neurotypical women.
Suz shares her experience with postpartum depression.
Adolescent girls are often misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mood fluctuations as a result of puberty, while ADHD symptoms in girls often show up around the same time as puberty.
LeAnn shares her experience with depression and anxiety throughout adolescence.
LeAnn talks about hormone fluctuations throughout our menstrual cycle and how it impacts the effectiveness of ADHD medication.
Hormonal fluctuations negatively affect dopamine throughout our cycles: for women with ADHD, this often means stronger PMS symptoms.
Suz shares her PMDD diagnosis and we talk about our PMS symptoms.
IUDs - hormonal and nonhormonal options and how it affects our cycles, and syncing periods with others, and how long our cycles last compared to average.
LeAnn goes on a football ramble and shit talks Tom Brady.
Brain fog, cravings, and the sugar connection to dopamine.
