The Hormone Psychiatrist

ADHD is having a moment. And as a psychiatrist specializing in women's mental health, I have some thoughts!

While I'm thrilled more women are finally getting answers, I'm also concerned we're overlooking other reasons for brain fog, forgetfulness, poor focus, and overwhelm.

In this episode, we're talking about ADHD in women, how hormones affect attention, and why sleep, stress, burnout, and perimenopause deserve a place in the conversation.

Because not every attention problem is ADHD. And getting to the root of your symptoms matters.

In this episode, I'm breaking down ten reasons you may feel exhausted—and why "tired" is the beginning of the conversation, not the diagnosis.

• Why poor-quality sleep can leave you tired even after eight hours in bed

• How hormones, iron, food, hydration, daylight, and movement affect energy

• Why overstimulation, clutter, and carrying other people's burdens can drain you

• The question to ask before starting another supplement or wellness protocol

In this first episode, I'm back behind the mic to share why I started The Hormone Psychiatrist and what we'll explore together.

• How this show connects to my earlier work on food, body image, and women's mental health
• Why hormones can affect mood, sleep, energy, and focus
• Why "I don't feel like myself" deserves a closer look
• How we'll make sense of hormones, mental health, and real life—one conversation at a time

More people are talking about "church hurt" or "religious trauma" with regard to sexual sins and abuses of power. But no one seems to be talking about how churches and faith leaders have affected our relationship with food and our bodies. In my interview with dietitian and Christian, Leslie Schilling, we discuss the difficult topic of how diet culture (& the harms that come with it) have infiltrated even the safest of spaces, like churches, faith communities, medical offices, and loved ones.

Is it possible to raise children who have a neutral relationship with their bodies? Is it possible to raise children who don't define their self-worth with how they look? How can we raise the next generation of children to look beyond appearances?

Well, this week, I talk with the ladies behind the Full Bloom Project, Leslie Bloch and Zoe Bisbing. Their mission is to equip parents with facts and weight science to better nurture children's growing body so that children can fully bloom into who they were created to be.

In this interview, we discuss:

• Why it's so hard to raise body positive children
• Small steps that every parent can make-- no matter the age of the child
• How to get rid of comparisons as a parent
• What does "the full bloom project" mean
• and so much more!
