What if the rising overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, and brain fog you’re experiencing aren’t “just stress”—but the result of shifting hormones during perimenopause? And what if the solution isn’t more willpower, but more self-understanding?
In this potent follow-up episode, I sat down once again with Hormone and ADHD educator Adele Wimsett to explore the under-researched but deeply lived experience of ADHD in perimenopause. With new research, clinical insights, and lived wisdom, Adele uncovers how oestrogen, progesterone, and even histamine are influencing our mood, memory, and capacity to cope—especially for neurodivergent women.
We talk about:
- The perfect hormonal storm of ADHD + perimenopause
- Why progesterone is the unsung hero of hormone health
- Cycle tracking and data tools that empower better care
- Histamine, burnout, and why adrenal health is everything
- How to advocate for body-identical hormone therapy (and why most doctors miss the mark)
If you’re in your late 30s to mid-40s and wondering “why am I suddenly not coping like I used to?”—this episode is for you.
