Many women unknowingly live their entire lives with ADHD until hormonal shifts make symptoms impossible to manage.
In this transformative guide, board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and leading voice in women’s medicine Dr. Jolene Brighten uncovers the real reason ADHD symptoms often get worse during transitions like perimenopause, pregnancy, or even the pre-menstrual phase of your cycle: hormones.
Drawing on clinical research, patient experience, and her own lived journey, ADHD and Women reframes ADHD not as a static diagnosis, but as a dynamic brain–body condition shaped by hormones, immune health, and nervous system regulation. Anxiety, PMDD, low mood, lack of motivation, brain fog, sleep disruption, sensory sensitivity, and emotional dysregulation are not personal failures—they are symptoms of dysregulation that ADHD women are more likely to report when hormones fluctuate.
Dr. Brighten’s program is tailored to each reader’s unique ADHD-Hormone profile, a groundbreaking framework that helps readers pinpoint which hormonal systems are driving their symptoms. With this clarity, women can finally understand why they’re dysregulated and follow Dr. Brighten’s clear, realistic steps to regain focus and end the overwhelm.
Inside, readers will find:
· A 14-day reset meal plan designed to optimize hormones
· Comprehensive hormone strategies, including guidance on hormone replacement therapy specific to the neurodivergent woman’s needs
· Movement and sleep strategies tailored to the neurodivergent nervous system
· Mind-body tools to improve emotional regulation and support mental health
· A personalized ADHD blueprint to manage each hormonal phase of a woman’s life
ADHD and Women is your guide to learning how your brain and hormones work together, so you can finally make them work for you—not against you.
