ADHD in Adult Women. My personal journey and how to start yours.
I've only really known about my ADHD diagnosis for a few years. I had joked about it for years and had friends joke about it for years, but it wasn't until my kids were assessed that I really leaned into identifying as a person with ADHD.
Working with women for the last 15 years has gifted me the opportunity to help identify ADHD in my patients, and to help them make decisions on how to support themselves.
In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Kate Henry, a Naturopathic Doctor whom I connected with over the research on ADHD and our personal experiences. This episode will help you understand your own brain a little better, and give you the first few steps you need to take to get assessed and taken care of.
We tackle topics such as
- The role of diet (how your ADHD chooses your foods and how your foods worsen your symptoms).
- The role of medication.
- The role of accurate diagnosis (especially if you've never been flagged before).
- How to get help (even with the small things).
