How your Hormones Can Affect Your ADHD

Hormones and ADHD—what’s the connection? In this powerful conversation, ADHD Coach Jess DuBose and Women’s Hormone Health Coach Kim Bilyk dive deep into how hormonal cycles impact ADHD symptoms, energy levels, executive functioning, mood, and more.

They explore the four phases of the menstrual cycle, how estrogen and progesterone affect dopamine and sleep, and why burnout and stress make everything harder. Plus, they offer real-world strategies for ADHDers who struggle with planning, self-care, and consistency.

Whether you have a regular cycle, are approaching menopause, or have never connected your hormones with your brain health—this episode will give you insight, validation, and tangible tools for working with your body instead of fighting it.

I highly recommend signing up for Kim's newsletter. It's super informative.
