Episode 91: ADHD, Estrogen, and Menopause with Allana Bykes

In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, I chat with Allana Bykes, a neurodiversity coach and co-founder of Candor Diversity Group, about the often-overlooked intersection of ADHD, estrogen, and menopause. Allana, who has lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia, delves into how hormonal shifts, particularly during perimenopause, can significantly affect ADHD symptoms, often in ways that are hard to understand or manage without the right tools.

In this episode we explore:

  • Allana personal journey of discovering how ADHD symptoms interact with estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle and perimenopause.

  • The overlooked connection between ADHD and menopause

  • How Allana is managing ADHD in perimenopause

  • The importance of reframing rest and self-care

  • How to thrive during this transition when you are managing ADHD
