EP. 211 | ADHD, Hormones + Perimenopause Chaos: You’re Not Imagining It | Adele Wimsett

Subscribe:    / @drtyna   In this episode, I’m sitting down with UK-based women’s health practitioner Adele Winslett to talk about the intersection of ADHD, neurodivergence, and the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause. It’s a raw, honest conversation about what happens when estrogen dips and the brain fog sets in and why you’re absolutely not alone. We also explore how midlife can unmask long-standing ADHD and neurodivergent traits that were once manageable and how this shift can feel both disorienting and illuminating. If you’ve been silently struggling or questioning what’s going on with your mind and body, this episode is a powerful reminder that there’s clarity and support on the other side. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Social & Website:  Instagram -    /      Website - https://www.drtyna.com/ Store - https://store.drtyna.com/ Courses - https://www.drtyna.com/store  Metabolic Revamp Toolkit: https://bit.ly/drtynametabolicrevamp FREE GUIDE: Assess Your Metabolic Health: https://www.drtyna.com/metabolism GLP-1’s Uncovered FREE 4 Part Video Series https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered Subscribe to The Dr. Tyna Show: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4bm3R3m Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3OtOps7 Substack: https://drtyna.substack.com/ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Topics Discussed:  Can perimenopause make ADHD symptoms worse?
