Is It Really ADHD? Focus, Hormones & the Functional Medicine Lens with Christa Biegler, RD

In this episode of the Strength in Hormones podcast, we explore the deeper layers behind ADHD—beyond the common diagnosis and medication route. From neurotransmitters and hormones to micronutrients and brain inflammation, we dive into the functional root causes that often get missed. Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect it, or just feel chronically unfocused and overwhelmed, this conversation breaks down what's really going on in the body and brain—and where to begin if you want a more holistic, hormone-informed approach to focus and mental clarity.

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇
  • What ADHD actually is and how it's typically diagnosed
  • The current treatment landscape and where it falls short
  • The role of the thyroid and adrenals in focus and attention
  • Nutrition and lifestyle approaches for ADHD
  • Nootropics and cognitive support options
  • Why addressing endocrine disruptors and stress play a role in ADHD management
  • Functional vs. conventional approaches to ADHD
  •
