Women with ADHD should plan their months with their cycles. Listen to this mastermind episode for our Addmin from our 21st season. Today, Roxie, Jessica and Moira are in the hot seat. This episode of ADHD ReWired features Natalie looking for strategies to manage hormonal changes in her cycle.
The mastermind shares insights and strategies with Natalie as she deals with fluctuations in her menstrual cycles. They talk to her doctor about increasing her medication for two weeks of the month. She also discusses setting up her monthly planner so that it coincides with her cycle.
Some things they talked about that you might not be aware of are:
It is best to go to the gym while you are having your period. Planning is the bridge between productivity, self-care, and productivity. The more you can integrate your self-care with the cycle, the more energy will you have. Although they share what has worked for them, and the research that they have done together, they are not physicians.
*Please note: When we talk about medications, we cannot address your personal experience. If you have been given a medication, it is important to speak with your doctor about your symptoms and experience. Some medications may not be suitable for everyone. There are many options available and you will need to be guided as to which ones are best for you.
