Ideal Age

Is it Perimenopause—or is it ADHD?


Listen Later

Functional Nutritionist and Certified Brain Health Professional Christine MacCarrol was diagnosed with ADHD in midlife, and she knows the signs (and they’re often missed until perimenopause hits)! Let’s chat the brain-hormone-midlife rollercoaster, executive function struggles, and bust the stigma around ADHD and ADHD-like symptoms in women—and get you the tools to get past those struggles and take charge of your brain health. 

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or like something’s just off, this one’s for you!
