from Little Bottles, Big Shifts: ADHD Wellness Podcast for Women · host Imelda Aspinall

Here’s what we cover: ✨ Why the meds-or-no-meds question feels so loaded ✨ What ADHD meds actually do (and what they don’t!) ✨ My own titration journey (the wins, the wobbles, and the hormone curveballs) ✨ How your cycle can impact how meds feel + a free tracker to spot patterns ✨ Things to consider if you’re sitting on the fence ✨ Alternatives and complements to meds — from coaching to oils 💡 Spoiler: This isn’t about “right or wrong.” It’s about tools — and you get to decide which ones work for you. 🔗 Links & Resources Get my Free Cycle & Meds Tracker: Download here My ADHD essential oil recommendations: Download here NHS information on ADHD meds: nhs.uk/adhd ADHD & Nutrition: ADDitude Magazine Medical cannabis guidance (UK): • Alternaleaf • Releaf • Mamedica
