Hormonal facts to help with ADHD challenges
🌸 — Progesterone = Brake Pedal
When progesterone rises in the luteal phase, it can feel like someone’s quietly tapping the brakes on your brain.
Fact: Progesterone dampens dopamine tone.
Why it matters:
More distractibility, emotional reactivity, and those “can’t be bothered” vibes show up strong.
Try today:
Work in short sprints (15–20 min) with generous recovery breaks.
Don’t force marathon focus—it’s like driving with the handbrake on.
✨ Natural support:
  • Magnesium glycinate or citrate → calms the nervous system & smooths irritability.
  • Chamomile tea → supports GABA, your natural chill-out neurotransmitter.
  • Black-eyed Susan Bush Flower Essence → aids focus, patience, and emotional steadiness.
🌙 Luteal Phase (Day 17–28) with ADHD
  • Hormones: Progesterone rises, estrogen fluctuates.
  • ADHD impact:
  • Best moves: Early luteal = get stuff done.
  • Late luteal = routines, finishing tasks, winding down.
  • Hack: Use external structure (alarms, lists, accountability buddies).
  • Add magnesium + omega-3s for brain calm.
