A revolutionary guide to understanding the hormone-ADHD connection, with practical guidance on optimizing your hormones and thriving in all phases of life, from the bestselling author of Beyond the Pill and Is This Normal?

"With clarity and warmth, Dr. Jolene Brighten speaks to the real shifts in mood, focus, and mental clarity that can arise across hormonal transitions, and offers a supportive path forward for anyone seeking better answers."--Lisa Mosconi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain and The Menopause Brain

Many women unknowingly live their entire life with ADHD (often highly masked and quietly overwhelmed) until hormonal shifts in their late 30s and 40s make symptoms impossible to manage. Board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and bestselling author Dr. Jolene Brighten uncovers the real reason ADHD symptoms often get worse during transitions like PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond: hormones.

Drawing on clinical research, patient experience, and her own lived journey as a neurodivergent woman, ADHD and Women illuminates ADHD as a dynamic brain-body condition. Anxiety, PMDD, focus and memory struggles, 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 helps you discover your unique ADHD-Hormone profile and personalized plan for regaining focus and ending 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.
