ADHD & Hormones: When Your Brain Goes on a Roller Coaster Ride | Hormones, ADHD, and Postpartum: Unraveling the Complex Connection

Author: Joelle Suess | Podcast Producer & Entrepreneur August 15, 2023 Duration: 20:33
In this podcast episode, I share a fascinating article I was reading about the influence of hormones on ADHD. How does estrogen, a main sex hormone, can impact cognition, emotion, motivation, and cognitive function in women with ADHD. You will learn the effects of hormone fluctuations during different phases of the menstrual cycle, with symptoms potentially worsening during the luteal phase. I also mention the importance of understanding postpartum hormonal changes and the need for more research in this area. Check out the recommend resources such as Dr. Jolene Brighten's article and Patricia Sung's podcast for further information and support.

Joelle Suess never intended to become an entrepreneur, but over a decade of navigating direct sales, creating courses, and coaching clients in nutrition taught her that a fulfilling life isn't about fitting into a predetermined box.

Each episode is grounded in the idea of syncing with your own rhythm, whether you're in a demanding career phase, a new season of motherhood, or simply reevaluating what wellness means to you. As a podcast producer and entrepreneur, Joelle brings a practical eye to these topics, offering actionable ideas rather than abstract theory. Tune in for honest talk about building a life that feels genuinely aligned, where education, health, and personal growth aren't separate chores but woven parts of a whole.
