ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

Why Cycle Tracking for ADHD Women is Essential!


Listen Later

Cycle tracking isn't a fad or something you can only do if you menstruate. Rooted in ancient wisdom, modern science, and female empowerment, understanding your cycles is key to helping you channel and nurture your energy, enhance your strengths, honour your needs and boost emotional well-being.

Many of us are navigating the complex interplay between our hormonal cycles and ADHD, and this conversation aims to shed light on how cycle tracking can help us reconnect with our bodies. We’ll explore how hormonal fluctuations impact our well-being and the importance of recognising these changes, not just as symptoms to endure, but as valuable insights into our overall health. 

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, co-authors of The Cycle Book. Together, they offer practical insights, personal stories, and expert guidance on how understanding your hormonal cycle can transform your wellbeing.

Laura, a certified sex and couples therapist, and Morgan, a seasoned midwife and reproductive care advocate, share their unique perspectives on navigating hormonal health through PMDD, endometriosis, postnatal depression, and beyond.

What You'll Learn:

  • The power of cycle tracking as a tool for self-understanding, self-advocacy, and healing
  • Why no two cycles are the same, and how learning your hormonal patterns is essential
  • The emotional and physical realities of conditions like PMDD, endometriosis, and postnatal depression (especially in neurodivergent women)
  • How to begin advocating for yourself in a medical system that often overlooks women's hormonal health
  • What to do when you’re not getting the support you need from healthcare providers, and how to persist without burning out
  • Why it’s vital to start these conversations young, empowering girls to understand and trust their bodies
  • The value of community, curiosity, and consistency in your hormone health journey

This episode is a compassionate call to action: your body is not a mystery, it’s a source of wisdom. With the right tools and support, every woman can learn to track, understand, and advocate for her hormonal wellbeing.
