I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!
How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?
For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.
This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June.
What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health.
In this episode, we explore:
This episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems.
Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.
If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, I’d recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it’s full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!
