“What women should do, particularly women with ADHD, instead of planning your months at the end of the month, plan your month with your cycles.” Listen to this mastermind episode for our Addmin from our 21st season. Today we have Roxie, Jessica, Moira with Natalie in the hot seat. Natalie is looking for strategies to deal with hormonal changes around her cycle, plus much more on this episode of ADHD reWired.

Listen as the mastermind shares strategies, insights, and ideas for Natalie to handle the fluctuations around her menstrual cycle. They discuss talking to her doctor about changing up the dosage of her medicine for two weeks out of the month, setting up her monthly planner to coincide with her cycle, and why it is so important to make sure that self-care is a priority.

Some things they talked about that you might not be aware of are:

The best time to go to the gym is while you are on your period Planning is the bridge between productivity and self-care The more you sync your self-care with your cycle, the more energy you will have. The mastermind is sharing things that have worked for them and the research they have each personally done, but remember they are not doctors.

*Please note that when we discuss medications, we can only address personal experience. Anytime you have been prescribed a drug, you should reach out to your provider regarding your symptoms and experiences. Not all medications are useful for all people. There are various options, and you’ll need individual help to determine which medicines are right for you.
