Hormones and ADHD Symptoms

Join the Reset Retreat: https://landing.leahbrueggemann.com/reset-retreat-oct26If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD (or strongly resonate with it) and feel like you’re constantly hitting an invisible wall—knowing what to do but unable to follow through—this episode is for you. ADHD doesn’t mean you’re broken, lazy, or incapable. And it doesn’t mean medication is your only option. In this conversation, Gaia Broda and myself are reframing ADHD away from a life sentence and into something far more empowering: information you can use to take your power back.In this episode we’re sharing:Why so many women are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and what’s actually driving the riseHow identifying as your diagnosis quietly gives your power away (even when it feels validating)The Core Four pillars for managing ADHD naturally: movement, nutrition, nervous system regulation, and sleepWhy knowing the strategies isn’t the problem, and what’s really stopping follow-throughHow blood sugar crashes, dopamine chasing, and nervous system dysregulation fuel procrastination and overwhelmWhy reaching for sugar, scrolling, or avoidance isn’t a character flaw, but a signalThe role of self-worth, agency, and subconscious beliefs in ADHD symptomsHow hypnosis and subconscious work help rewire the patterns that keep you stuckWhy ADHD brains often come with powerful “zones of genius” and how society teaches us to ignore themWhere to actually start if you’re at rock bottom vs. already “managing but not thriving”An ADHD diagnosis can be a permission slip, not an identity. ADHD doesn’t get to decide what’s possible for you. When you stop outsourcing your power to labels, hacks, or medication alone and start building agency, nervous system safety, and supportive foundations, you can move from surviving to truly thriving. This episode will help you see your brain differently, reclaim your worth, and start working with how you’re wired instead of against it.Connect with Gaia:Beyond Meds Podcast Spotify | YouTube 15 Minute ADHD Morning Routine: https://bit.ly/dopaminedetoxtrainingBiohacking ADHD Membership: https://bit.ly/awcbiohackingmembershipLinkedInwww.gaiabroda.com—Leah’s Favorite Things: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favorites🙏Thank you to Eversio Wellness for sponsoring this episode!👉 Go to https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/LEAH or enter code LEAH at checkout for 15% off.—I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.Through the Balance Hormones Naturally podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing.
