Many women spend decades believing they're simply overwhelmed, anxious, disorganized, or "bad at keeping up."
But what if the real issue is ADHD?
Women's health expert Dr. Jolene Brighten explains why ADHD is often missed in women, why symptoms become dramatically worse during perimenopause and how hormones, inflammation, gut health, sleep, and brain energy all play a role.
We discuss:
✔ Why ADHD often goes undiagnosed until midlife
✔ The connection between estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and brain function
✔ ADHD vs normal perimenopause symptoms
✔ Exercise as a powerful brain-health intervention
✔ GLP-1 medications and neuroinflammation
✔ Functional medicine strategies for women with ADHD
✔ Sleep, gut health and hormone optimization
