Episode 84: Cycles, Chaos & Clarity: ADHD Meets Hormones with Adele Wimsett

Ever feel like your brain's running a million tabs at once — and half of them are glitching? If you're a woman navigating ADHD and hormonal chaos, this episode is your new BFF.

I’m joined by the brilliant Adele Wimsett, founder of Harmonize You, to break down the intersection of ADHD and hormones. Spoiler alert: it's not all in your head — it’s in your cycle too! We’re diving into why so many women are only just getting their ADHD diagnoses in adulthood, how fluctuating hormones (hello, estrogen and progesterone) crank up those ADHD symptoms, and what you can do to work with your cycle, not against it.

From perimenopause to PMDD, we’re pulling back the curtain on why so many women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or handed a pack of birth control pills without a second thought. Adele brings her brilliance to helping us better understand ADHD symptoms in women and how your hormones may be playing a role.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • The surprising link between ADHD and hormonal cycles

  • Why girls are often missed or misdiagnosed when it comes to ADHD

  • The role estrogen and progesterone play in our ADHD symptoms

  • Why perimenopause can make ADHD feel so much harder

  • The truth about birth control pills and why they’re often a band-aid solution

  • Insulin connection to ADHD
